Would you name your kid after a Pokemon?

I would never do that, I wouldn't want to be responsible for a child having to be teased in school for having a weird name. No Pokemon names would sound good at all for a real name. Imagine naming a child... well any Pokemon names. pure embarrassment for life. I would name my child after a Harry Potter character, but I wouldn't make it a weird one like "Draco" or anything, just normal sounding names. Pokemon would be pushing it.
 
Only Aron and Roselia sounds realistic to me. Others are laughable.
Just spare your child from embarrassment. Eevee sounds kind of okay too.
 
Oh god. Leave those names to pets. Wouldn't it be cool to have a cat named Gyarados?
 
I once heard of a cat named "Charmander." See, it's cute for a cat, but please leave the kids out of it.

Can't we all just agree that this is a very bad idea?
 
Hey, how about we pick any realistic ones?

Aron, Roselia, Kirlia, Phione... anything else? Not that I'm actually going to name my kid that way, but I'm still curious.
 
Attack Forme Deoxys? lol

You could possibly get away with Cleffa, Illumise, Cresselia or Meloetta for a girl, since they are probably unheard of to someone that doesnt play Pokemon. Thankfully, I havent had my brain surgically removed.
 
When I was younger I was jealous of my sister cuz she had 2 middle names so I wanted my 2nd middle name to be Pikachu. XD

Umm... I think Roselia, and Meoletta are pretty. Aron obviously is a real name.

Eevee actually does sound like a legitimate name (or like a legitimate nickname).

Phione actually makes alot of sense, sounding like a shortening of Fiona. I don't know about Kirlia though.

Meloetta might work. I dunno about Illumise or Cresselia though.

No but I knew this kid who convinced his parents to name his sister Eevee. They didn't know until it was on the birth certificate.

The girl's name is, in fact, Eevee. They were kind of annoyed I think, but they kept it.
 
I would, but then classmates and teachers would throw various metallic balls at my offspring, hoping for him/her to somehow get trapped inside TT^TT
 
Oh course! Who wouldn't want their kid to be named Purugly or Bulbasaur? In fact, I'll name my first child Giratina Origin Forme. It just rolls off the tongue.
