Pikipek-Peeko
A-Sandslash- Snowslash/Shard
A-Exeguttor-Exegudragon.
Solgaleo-Surya(It refers to Sun in India)

I'm not sure about everything else, but I know I want a Cutiefly and I'm going to name it Patootie.

omg what if its evolution is called Patootiefly?


Anyways, if the starter evo leaks are true then my Rowlet will be Ollie or Oliver.
Type: Null will be Frank.
Mimikyu is Pika Boo
The Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash I catch for completion reasons will be Snowshrew and Snowslash just on principle.

The only one I've named so far:

Solgaleo > Hamgaleo

Rowlett - Kotori
Mimikyu - Spookachu
A-Raichu - Pancake
Lurantis - Strawberry
Rockruff - Charcoal, it's what I named my mightyena
Oricorio(Yellow) -PomPom

some other silly ones are

Crabrawler - Little Mac
and I don't remember the name of the dread locked pokemon but the first thing I noticed is that it looked like Snoop Dog xD so that's what I'd name it

Rivvon September 6th, 2016 5:55 PM

I'm gonna name Cutiefly Fuzzy Buzzy.

That's all I can think of right now.

zeno101200 September 6th, 2016 5:57 PM

I use word association usually to figure out a name. Or name them in French. So here are some ideas, because I have no idea what I'm going to use for my team:
Litten - Mittens or Feu Chat (Fire Cat)
Popplio - Pitre (Clown) or Peter because it sounds similar.
Crabrawler - Vainqueur (Vanquisher)

Kikaito plush September 7th, 2016 2:59 AM

only one I have decided is

Sandygast/Palossand: Blackpool

Starry Windy September 7th, 2016 6:47 AM

If the game allows me to name Chinese names, I think I have considered some:
Popplio: 风光海狮 (fēng guāng hǎi shī), which means impressive sea lion. At first I thought of 风 (wind) and 光 (light) combination first, but then realized the meaning of the two combined {XD}
Alolan Vulpix: 雪狐子 (xuě hú zi), which means little snow fox.

Hikamaru September 7th, 2016 6:56 AM

Likely not. I can never seem to come up with good names.

blue September 7th, 2016 7:14 AM

I'm awful at nicknames so I tend to just take the easy option and stick with the default name. Sometimes I can be creative and think of names on the spot, I'd like to try and have a nicknamed team with S/M.

Abby September 7th, 2016 7:41 AM

My first playthrough'll be a nuzlocke so Nicknames are always good^^
The only pokémon I'm sure I'm getting is Rowlet, and I'll probably decide a name when I get it!

Pinkie-Dawn September 7th, 2016 10:06 AM

Litten - Saggot
Popplio - A***l (I'll let you fill in the dots)

I actually don't prefer nicknames

Pikipek - Woody
Mudsdale - Clyde
Cutiefly - Humbug
Drampa - I'm naming it after my one of my grandparents, not sure which one yet.

What do you guys think?

Judge Mandolore Shepard September 8th, 2016 6:19 AM

While I have not decided which Pokemon I will be using for my team in Pokemon Moon, I have decided on the theme I will be using for the nicknames for my team members.

Theme of nicknames: Metroid series Planets
Zebes
Arcterra
Norion
Aether
Elysia
Tallon IV

raxic_ex September 8th, 2016 8:03 AM

A-Raichu - Sweeturf (Sweet + Surf)

Comfey - Lyralei
Morelull - Lumiroo (Illuminate + Mushroom)
Minior - Starmet (Star + Comet)
Bruxish - Queenzle (Queen + Dazzle)
Cutiefly - Minary (Mini + Fairy)

Brendino September 8th, 2016 9:38 PM

Haven't come up with any specific nicknames yet, since I'm not planning my team ahead of time, but seeing as how Alola is based on Hawaii, my Pokemon are going to have nicknames that only make use of the Hawaiian alphabet. Might be a challenge since I've only got 12 letters to work with, but I think it should lead to some fun and unique nicknames!

KipKipFox September 9th, 2016 6:46 PM

I want to name my Litten Flametail, after the ShadowClan medicine cat in Warriors. I might name it Tigerstar or Brambleclaw depending on its final evo though.

I agree with Peeko being a good name for Pikipek.

Lugarugan, Aleu or Kodiak depending on its gender.

Salandit, still thinking. Sandy? Bandit? Nah..

A-Ninetales, something like Glacia or Snowflake. Can't think of good ice-type names.

A-Raichu, don't know yet. Pancake? Meringue?

Jangmo-o, I think Spyro. I can probably come up with a better name.

Lunala I might leave nameless, because Lunala is already a good name in itself. I might name it Artemis though. Maybe not.

Assuming we'll get Zygarde, still thinking. Hades seems good.

Guest123_x1 September 9th, 2016 6:56 PM

I don't know too many of the Sun/Moon Pokémon out of those that have been revealed so far, and since I tend to give certain Pokémon nicknames that allude to real-world pop culture, I've decided on the following, assuming I do get these Pokémon:

*Popplio - Salty (Because my first glance at the Water starter reminded me of Salty the Seal from Walt Disney's classic Mickey Mouse theatrical shorts.)
*Lunala - Luana (I initially misread the Legendary Pokémon as 'Luana' when someone on Pokémon Crossroads took on said Pokémon's name.)

Maybe when I get the chance to know more of the newly-revealed Pokémon, I might think of additional nicknames.
