Did anyone call their legendary anything other than Nebby?
 
I called mine Nebby, didn't have the heart to change the name. However it occurred to me that there are other people out there that DON'T have the same kind of heart I do...

So what else did you call it?

I renamed mine FU and released it because **** Lillie.

(just kidding, I love Lillie's character but I don't really like nicknaming my Pokemon)

Mahinebby. I tried to compromise as I would have named it "Mahinea" if it wasn't for the whole "Nebby" business.

Nope, I called mine Nebby because I thought it was the only right thing to do.

When I caught Solgaleo, I named it Solar Panel.

I didn't nickname Lunala yet, but I will before I trade it. I had a name in mind for it last night but have since forgotten it >_>

I thought about it but decided not to give it a nickname.

I figured if I decided otherwise I could still nickname it Nebby later anyway.

Well since Lunala has a connection to the moon, I just gave it the nickname that is the Latin word for moon, Luna. Course I did consider nicknaming it Nebby.

Bellsprout December 5th, 2016 11:34 AM

I thought cosmog and cosmoem looked like a nebby, but Lunala def did not so i left it

Benermerut December 5th, 2016 12:43 PM

Named my Lunala Galadriel, as I had planned since it was first revealed. I did consider going with Nebby instead, but that's not a great name so.

Aquacorde December 5th, 2016 1:07 PM

I named Solgaleo "Lemonade" bc I have a food theme going on. .3. I was really tempted to break the theme for Nebby, tho...

xXLunaSolXx December 10th, 2016 4:20 AM

I nicknamed my Solgaleo "Helios". It is fitting since it is the name of the sun God in the Greek mythology.

Kikaito plush December 10th, 2016 6:01 AM

just about to catch my Solgaleo was planning to nickname it Galeo.

stzy December 10th, 2016 6:37 AM

I left mine Lunala but I'm probably going to change it to Nebby. Also going to let it hold the Poke Doll Lillie gave me because that seems right.

Megan December 10th, 2016 10:28 AM

I was considering it, but one of my rules is to only nickname mons that are permanent party members during the story, or competitive mons.

Starry Windy December 17th, 2016 2:14 AM

Recently I've nicknamed my Legendary in Sun as Nebby, because I feel like it makes more sense this way, given that Lillie always called it Nebby even when it was a Cosmog.

In Moon, it's quite a different case because of Chinese nicknaming limitations (can't nickname any 'mons in Chinese letters -_-). In Chinese, Lillie calls Cosmog as 小星云 (xiǎo xīng yún, little starcloud/little nebula), so I'll call it as XinYun (新云, new cloud) which is the closest to it.

Disolia December 17th, 2016 6:05 AM

Despite my best attempt, I ended up getting too attached to the little guy and named him Nebby.

Mister Coffee December 17th, 2016 4:43 PM

Despite the fact that I pretty much always nickname my pokemon, I have two exceptions to naming pokemon. I don't name pokemon I know I'm going to release, and I don't name Legendary pokemon. I just feel like Legendary pokemon are relatively special and should be referred to by their species name. So my Lunala is just named Lunala. The story for Lunala was great, but I didn't find any personal attachment to the name "Nebby".

TheBestOne December 17th, 2016 8:55 PM

Mine's just the default name.

Altairis December 18th, 2016 1:52 AM

I didn't nickname it at the spot buuut I wanna change it back to Nebby <3

Delirious Absol December 18th, 2016 9:40 AM

I had to name Solgaleo Nebby! It had been his name through the entire game. AND I had to add him to my team and take him through the Elite Four because I just couldn't stuff him in a box and leave him there. Not after Lillie expressed he wanted to see more of Alola. I think this is the first time I've become this ridiculously attached to the characters in a Pokemon game... I missed them and the story after I completed it! XD

stzy December 18th, 2016 11:04 AM

I'm just popping in to comment on the fact that EVERY Lunala I see on GTS/random link trades is named Nebby. I find that mildly amusing :p

Thunderflare December 19th, 2016 9:21 PM

I named Solgaleo "Kimba" because I'm cultured like that.

Meaningless Flower December 20th, 2016 2:54 AM

Ever since the legendary for Sun got revealed, I had the name 'Leo' in mind for multiple reasons, but after the story I just had to name it Nebby because I didn't have the heart to name it anything else. Solgaleo quickly became one of my favorite Pokémon and is the best member in my team!

miragespot December 27th, 2016 12:01 PM

Didn't nickname him anything. Lillie called him Nebby when he was a Cosmog, but he grew up into a Solgaleo and shed that nickname when he left Lillie's care.
