Lol I named myself Felix (on the girl because well, I'm one of those things) and my rival Cyril. I wish we could somehow rename them without restarting.

I've given up naming every pokemon I catch and just name my main team:
Nausicaa (female Feraligatr),
Kitsune (fem. Ninetails),
Oyenstikk[e]r (Yanma, means dragonfly in Norweigan IIRC - also the 'e' didn't fit),
Loki (fem. Misdreavus - to be renamed some day),
Marduk (male Ampharos),
and Arkaitz (male Larvitar - means stone in Basque)

I don't use "uber" Pokemon, I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this phrase into your signature or profile!

In SoulSilver, I named <Player>, Taylor, in memory of Gold Version. And Rival's Name is Jimmy, because that's the name I thought of and I was like, "cool, I'll go with it." In HeartGold, it's switched. Rival's name is Taylor and Player's name is Jimmy.
I don't really nickname my pokemons, except that I plan to nickname my Typhlosion, 'Phlozy. :P Hurrah for 'Phlozy! And Gyarados, Gyara.

LANCET SAYS! :
I wasn't exactly original with the names for myself & my rival in SS. I picked to be a female (though despite my female gender I wouldn't mind being a boy either) & named myself Soul & my rival Silver -is bricked- I named my Cyndaquil Karneval (mainly from one of my fave mangas)

Me: Nick (It's quite the style using your own name, I assume.)

Rival: --- (I named him after a friend and he doesn't like sharing it.)

Typhlosion: Knuckles (Because the Cyndaquil line is based on Echidnas, haha.)

Ampharos: Pharaoh (Used to be Reeper, but he's been promoted. :P)

Skarmory: Sir Crane (Because it's based on a knight and a crane. ;))

Ursaring: Roosevelt (Best. Name. Ever.)

Kingler: Princeler (Princes get all the ladies.)

Pupitar: Behemoth (This will work much better when he evolves into Tyranitar...)

==HEARTGOLD==

Hero: Ethan
Rival: Kamon
Pokemon: TOTO (Feraligatr), Sparce (Dunsparce), Zee (Hypno), Pidge (Pidgeotto), Lithe (Growlithe), Tini (Dratini)

==SOULSILVER==

Hero: Lyra
Rival: Kamon
Pokemon: SCORCH (Quilava), Gouge (Beedrill), Snake (Ekans), Wool (Mareep), ACID (Shiny Bellsprout), Nibble (Ratatta)



As you can see, I named the heroes their official names. I know that the Rival's official name is technically Silver, but that doesn't really fit in with Ethan and Lyra. Plus, lots of people already call him that. As for naming patterns, I just shorten their names in HeartGold, while I name them after what they are or what they do SoulSilver. In both versions, I capitalize the name of important Pokemon, including Starters, Legendaries, and Shinies.

I honestly can't remember what I actually named my rival. Oops.

As for my main character, I used a shortened version of my real name. I have no idea why, as I dislike my name. Sigh.

My Pokemon are all named after either literary or historical figures. My starter is called Holden (Catcher in the Rye). I have an Umbreon called Buckingham, after George Villiers, the Duke of Buckingham... And a Slowpoke named after King Charles I.

I won't go into detail about the rest. I'm a massive nerd, clearly.

Me: My real name.
rival: Jace. After Diamond I started always naming my rival Jace because the rival in D/P looks like Jace from City of Bones, and then it stuck...
Pokemon: I always nickname then their final evolution name, but using proper capitalization cuz i cant stand NAMES IN ALL CAPS. :P
