5th Gen What did you nickname your pokemon?

I give my Pokémon human names that start with the first letter of its last form's name (eg. Turtwig female = Theresia, Tepig male = Ernest, Pidove male = Urbanus). Boring and not very creative, isn't it??

Serperior - Cecil (FF IV <3)

Rufflet - Kamina

Excadrill - Lagann (another TTGL name)

Darmanitan - Ragnos

Zebstrika - Zhevrah

Carracosta - Chelone (latin for turtle)

Tepig: Breakfast
Zebstrika: Typhon, storm-titan that challenged Zeus
Seismitoad: Pontus, original sea-god
Simisage: Priapus, minor fertility god
Rufflet/Braviary: Aeolus, ruler of the winds
Beartic: Can't think of a good name yet, ideas?

All except Breakfast were named after Greek mythology. If anyone has any ideas for Beartic, that would be most helpful.

My nicknames were all based on traits of the Pokemon in question.

Dewott - Seashell

Tranquill - Journey

Cubchoo - Sleet

Deerling - Meadow

Gothita - Lolita

Pansear - Incinerate

I traded a Cubchoo egg from my Japanese White to my English Black. It's an ice type, so I figured Sleet was an okay name. My Dewott was named Seashell because Oshawott has that shell thing on it's stomach. Pansear was named Incinerate because it's a fire type. Tranquill is Journey because, well, don't birds fly south for the winter? Most of them do in my state. I found Deerling in a meadow like area hence the name. According to Bulbapedia, Gothita was based on a girl dressed in gothic lolita fashion.

Pokemon Black

• タコ [Taco] - Snivy
  I made the mistake of asking my roommate what to name my starter 'cause I didn't have any witty ideas. :( Since all he thinks about is food and World of Warcraft (and we were thinking of what to eat for dinner), he had food on the mind. /sigh
• パスタ [Pasta] - Woobat
  ...same explanation as above. (I also ended up with the pigeon thing being named "Beer" but it didn't stay in my party.) Guess what the other thing he wanted for dinner was?
• ロクサス [Roxas] - Vanillite
  n___n Named after Roxas from Kingdom Hearts because it's ice cream and that's all he does in his spare time (eats ice cream).
• ルミエアー [Lumière] - Litwick
  Named it after the candelabra in Beauty and the Beast. ♥ I think it's a pretty name and it's very fitting.
• デンキ [Denki] - Blitzle
  It's a really boring name. It means "electricity" in Japanese. I'm pretty sure the electric type is just called "denki". LAME.
• ニカ [Nica] - Joltik
  Galvantula (is that the right name? not used to it in english yet) was Forever's (the mod) favourite Pokémon leading up to BW so it had to be named after her. xD;

Pokémon White

• さくら [Sakura] - Cherubi
  I just wanted a chance to have a Japanese-named Cherubi. :') I think I already had a Cherubi named "Sakura" but I haven't trained one into a Cherrim before this one so. It's okay. n_n;
• Roxas - Vanillite
  See Black. I was gonna name this one Ven but it just didn't work as well. (And it was male so I couldn't name it Xion which was gonna be my other alternative choice.)
• Flamberge - Litwick
  Named for the fire-elemental sword that often appears in the Tales of series... which in turn is inspired by an actual kind of sword with the name, I think.
• Joltula - Joltik
  I swear I came up with this name before the English names came out. It was creative back then but now it just seems lame because it's essentially much mashing Joltik & Galvantula's names together fml. ;_;
• Terra - Sandile
  Named for the Kingdom Hearts character. A ground/dark Pokémon? Perfect.
• Dominico - Ducklett
  I caught one and didn't have a clue what to name it so I asked on IRC and Luke gave me this name. xD

I named my Exadrill Simon and Krookodile Kamina.

I call mine 'Chocolate Star' because it reminds me of my favourite sweets. If anyone would like to taste my chocolate star, send pm.

knicknamed mine takuma tsuguri because hes soo strong

I always name mine insulting nicknames at first, then when I use them as mains, change them to something nicer. Like real names that I like. Like at first, I named my cubchoo snot, then I changed it to Alastor later.
