Lately, I have been naming my Pokemon after musicians, depending on what is appropriate or what I am listening to at the time.

For example:
Scyther - Slash
Roserade - Axl R.
Blissey - Courtney L.
Tyranitar - Steve H.
Abomasnow - Lemmy K.

I went with a 90s rock/grunge theme for my Eevee evolutions:
Eevee - Andy W.
Vaporeon - Eddie V.
Jolteon - Kurt C.
Flareon - Scott W.
Espeon - Chris C.
Umbreon - Layne S.
Glaceon - Billy C.
Leafeon - Perry F.

I also went with a Metallica theme for my fossils:
Bastiodon - James H.
Cradily - Kirk H.
Aerodactyl - Cliff B.
Armaldo - Lars U.
Kabutops - Rob T.
Omanyte - Jason N.

I'll name them either if I plan to use them in some way (battling, catching, egg-hatching), or if I happen to have a good name on the spot when I catch them. Names can be anything from cool to serious to downright silly.

On Diamond with my "serious" party, I don't give them nicknames. On Pearl, I nickname them. The only 3 that I really care about on Pearl are Fireworks (Quilava), Tsunami (Floatzel), and Treestar (Leafeon). :3

Mine have unique names.

Milotic = Desphae
Rayquaza = Veluedia

RandomBlues January 17th, 2009 9:07 PM

I'd collect the Pokemon trio that I use in my drawings as characters and nickname them this way:
Raichu-Raichu = Rai
Roserade-Rozureido = Rozu/Roze
Floatzel- Floatsel = Flow
Oh, I usually changed the Pokemon's name to Capital then small letters. BUIZEL = Buizel

Aokiji January 18th, 2009 11:51 AM

My Scyther's called Santoryu.
Noctowl's called Notch.

Mystery Soul January 18th, 2009 12:08 PM

I nickname all of my Pokemon. Based on type, or animal that they reflect:

Diamond:
Infernape-Inferno
Luxray-Lightning
Leafeon-Leaf
Milotic-Aphrodite
Espeon-Kitten
Umbreon-Twilight

Haza January 18th, 2009 12:09 PM

My brothe named the Starmie I gave him Shiruken or Shuriken which is really creative.

BlazingLink January 18th, 2009 6:33 PM

I usually don't give my Pokemon nicknames.

But, I nicknamed my Chimchar, Blazer.

Lol

And my Dialga was nicknamed Time, and Palkia, Space.

XD

Zelda January 19th, 2009 1:09 PM

Sometimes I do...it depends on what I would name it...it would have to suit the pokemon! ':D

salmence33 January 20th, 2009 4:20 PM

Puffy and bubbles

I have about 25 eevees named puffy.

jigglyppuff8 January 20th, 2009 4:30 PM

Before, I used to name all my Pokemon corruptions of their regular names.
Pikachu-Peekachew
Jigglypuff-Jigliepuph
Xatu-Zatoo
You get the idea.
Lately though, I'm trying to name Pokemon based on their mannerisms and have them based on other video games I've played. The only ones I have so far is a Sassy Pelliper nicknamed Phyllis (Animal Crossing reference) and the pokemon cast of Super Smash Brothers Brawl all named after their Japanese names (because we heard a lot of those brawl's english release).

Ice_Emperor January 20th, 2009 4:43 PM

I don't name my Legendaries.
But for my nons I've used two types of naming.
Part of their names such as Pika. Sometimes giving them japanese honorifics(On my Gen III games) such as Pika-kun.
Or character traits such as my Staraptor; Shiner. Stars do what? Shine, thus Shiner.
I used to do jap names like my old Pikachu; Rai. (I have a lot of Pikachus)

Haza January 20th, 2009 4:48 PM

Mew - Birth
Mew - Baby

I am choosing between the two

moments. January 20th, 2009 4:54 PM

Haza call it 'Birth', that is such a nice name for a Mew considering the amount of time it took to establish what Mew is.

Haza January 20th, 2009 4:56 PM

Yeah you are right but its just not a nice sounding word which is why I was considering Baby.

moments. January 20th, 2009 5:01 PM

Hm Baby is good but very cutesy so if you are into that style go for it!

Haza January 20th, 2009 5:03 PM

Well it is a Cute Contest pokemon so I thought it fit and you obviously do too.

moments. January 20th, 2009 5:05 PM

Well there you go! Problem solved.

I am doing the monotype challenge and am considering naming my Pokemon after mythology like Poseidon, Behemoth etc.

Well the trend seems to be that everyone is name their Empoleon Poseidon these days. Tangrowth makes a good Madusa.

蜃気楼 January 20th, 2009 5:08 PM

I named them with Mega Man and Naruto characters names such as Falzar, SpoutMan, HeatMan, Sarutobi, Naruto
I named my Piplup SpoutMan and after it evolved into Empoleon, I renamed it to SpoutManEX

Zebra Thunderhead January 20th, 2009 5:09 PM

I used to nickname my Pokemon after weird nicknames I had for my online friends/Inuyasha character names. ]: I've since ditched the nicknaming process.

moments. January 20th, 2009 5:09 PM

Oooh Tangela and Medusa sounds awesome!
Behemoth is good on Gyarados.

The Ebon Blade January 20th, 2009 5:12 PM

I always thought that nicknaming pokemon was kind of a waste of time. Unless you can come up with some really clever and not annoyingly cliched names.

Haza January 20th, 2009 5:13 PM

Genie is good for a female Shiny Dusknoir. When I get one thats what I am naming her(so dont take my idea).
