I don't really give nicknames, apart from to Gengar. I always call them Legion.

"My name is Legion: for we are many." Just feel like it's fitting for them.

I got a Vaporeon in wonder trade named Will Smith, so I decided to have four Eeveelutions named after black actors.
I now have:
Vaporeon: Will Smith
Flareon: Sam Jackson
Jolteon: Morgan Freeman
Umbreon: Jack Black

Blastoise - Fullbuster - Character from Fairy Tail :)
Yveltal - Shadow - I am using shadow for nicknames in almost all games or shadowche

Let's see... off the top of my head...

Eevee- Starfee (German for Frozen Faerie, since I planned on using it for Sylveon)
Female Honedge- Nimue (King Arthur reference of course! Named after the Lady of the Lake)
Male Honedge- Caliburn (Named after the sword of course.)
Female Fennekin- Hazel (Named after one of my RP characters, who happens to be a female fox)
Shinx- Zimba (Named after one of my friend's character, who's an electric using lion)
Cubone- Jammer (German word for Misery.... plus it sounded cool)
Furfrou- Remi (Yet another one named after an RP character! this time a poodle)

and while I don't have one yet, when I get a male Espurr, I'm SO going to call it Kakashi... it just, kinda reminds me of the ninja from Naruto. x3

So, yeah, I think it's obvious what my general naming conventions are. o.o

These are only the pokemon in my main party
Chesnaught-Dean he is named after Dean Winchester from Supernatural, and my character's name is Sam.
Charizard-Inferno
Pikachu-Static
Laprus-Seabreez Yes I know there is suppose to be an "e" at the end I messed up.

My Lucario and Mewtwo are not nicknamed, I felt like it would be disrespectful to name them since my Lucario is from the gym leader and Mewtwo is a powerful legendary.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I NEVER nickname the Legendaries... I think I've nicknamed other gift Pokemon before though.

I wanted to name Exeggcute Huevos earlier, but the game would not let me so I had to settle for Huevo.

My talonflame is called Duncan. I caught it as a fletchling. I named it after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Fletcher
My greninja is called fjodor. Usually my pokes names start with the same name as their species name.
So F and I wanted a water= seafaring or maritime name so it became Fjodor.
Heliolisk is called Hardy.

My other team dont have a nick as they were wonder traded )salamence as a lv1 bagon) swampert from a white1 trade and malamar as a lv10 inkay

Let's see... off the top of my head...

Eevee- Starfee (German for Frozen Faerie, since I planned on using it for Sylveon)
Female Honedge- Nimue (King Arthur reference of course! Named after the Lady of the Lake)
Male Honedge- Caliburn (Named after the sword of course.)

Charizard: Flint
Delphox: Blaze
Lucario: Beren
Gourgeist: Jack, Sally (Nightmare before Christmas characters)
