Clever Nicknames

I just want to hear about some people's clever nick name ideas for several pokemon

here are some of mine

sceptile - godzilla
camerupt - krakatoa
metagross - einstein
starmie - rock star
mightyena - white fang
crobat - dracula

Here are some of mine but they aren't that clever o.o

Lugia - XD001
Noctowl - Michael
Flygon - Rui

Starmie-Rising Star
Forretress-Mighty Castle
Jolteon-Thunder Blast

I love these ones :P

i have more

sharpedo - jaws
salamence - horntail
gardevoir - bride's maid
wiscash - whiskers

I usually name my Pokemon after characters ^^; So the names are really strange.

However, I think my favorite is:
Treeko/Grovyle/Secptile: Geckomon XDDD

I have even more

dusclops - king tut
raichu - jerry
delcatty - tom
tyrannitar - rex

Dugtrio-Nemean
Alakazam-Mage
Gyarados-Rage
Jolteon-Helios
Charizard-Meteor
Primeape-SOnic

Sceptile: Forres(t Gump)

I used to regret naming him "Forres", but yeah, Mr. Gump was a good man, so thats all it counts XD
(and it's obvious I say "Run Forrest Run!" when I fight using him).

Magikarp - Magicrap

That's all from me. =)

Some of the nicknames I've used:
Scizor- Steelbug
Charizard- Kamui
Ampharos- Denryu (not really a nickname I guess)
yellow version Pikachu- Bluechu or Mairu
(both were the names of the supposed blue pikachu--which I think turned out to be Marill, right?)
Ho-oh- Hohou

I used a lot of Japanese words in my one game to help me remember vocab:
Diglett- Horu (to dig)
Snorlax- Yasumu (to rest)
Snorlax- Neru (to sleep)
Butterfree- Kirei (pretty, clean)
Jigglypuff- Uta (a song)
and etc.

What i nicknamed some of my pokemon:

Arcanine - Embyr
Gengar - Grave
Marowak - Cavern
Pigeot - Breeze
Raichu - Electra (if it's female), Static (if it's male)
Blastoise - Rain / Splash

Time Traveler - Celebi
Sea King - Lugia
Sea Prince - Manafi

Here's just a few select:

Pigeot - Pijotto
Ivysaur - Fushigiso
Primeape - Okorizaru
Scyther - Abscido
Gyarados - Asperitas
Rhyhorn - William
Arcanine - Maxwell

My nicknames consist of Latin words, the original Japanese names, and other names that I just find appealing. Not really all that clever or demiurgic in my opinion. e_e;

Psycho

Cubone - Ninja (wears a helmet and a weapon)
Pikachu - Loser/Bastard/Scum (this pokemon simply sucks!)
Mewtwo - Freeza (Conection found)
Dragonite (Female) - Fylia (the female Dragon character from Slayers)

Celebi - Time lord (self explanation)
Kadabra/Alakazam - Warlock (has a moustache and knows magic)
Flareon (Female) - Top model (the most beatifull of the 5 Eevee evolutions)

I can't say that any of my Pokemon nicknames are brilliant, but they are original!

Charmeleon - Tyr, which is the name of some Norse god...
Pikachu - Laurel, the name of a church group...and it just stuck! ^^;
Rattata - Bryan, which is normally the name of my Bagon...o_o
Kadabra - Kitsune, because Abra looks like some sort of fox!
Pidgeotto - Tara, just because. They seem to pick their own names...o_0
Mankey - I named him Bruno and couldn't figure out why until I remember the Elite Four...Whoops! ^^;

Then I have a Meowth named Celeste, another Pidgey named Hawkes, and my Skarmory Triplets on Ruby: Angelus, Kira, and...darn, the last one started with a 'T'...Eh, I'll remember it eventually!
