This forum title is almost like the following question:

Do you give your legendary Pokemon nicknames? If so, list the names and which legendary has them. My legendaries are:

Nickname- Legendary pokemon

Uka Uka - Giratina

Chronos - Dialga

Cosmos - Palkia

Giygas - Darkrai

Iron Titan - Registeel

Rock Titan - Regirock

Ice Titan - Regice

Aku Aku - Uxie

Ice Hawk - Articuno

Bolt Hawk - Zapdos

Fire Hawk - Moltres

The only Pokémon I nickname are those I use competitively. the others, there's no point, including legendaries. They're more epic without a nick. So, option three for me.

I used to name them after the games or where I caught them, for example:
Lugia = Silver
Kyogre = Sapphire
Rayquaza = Emerald
Palkia = Pearl

Azelf = Valor
Zapdos = Power
Heatran = Stark

I gave up though. I don't like using legendaries. I catch them for the sake of it, but I never use them. So no, I don't nickname them anymore. I do nickname every other Pokémon I catch though, whether I plan to use them or not.

I usually don't as I don't use them and well, it kinda ruins it. Sometimes I do.

In platinum, I named all Pokémon their names without the weird CAPS-thingy, a little like Lance (UFA). So in Platinum I named them as he/she did.

But there aren't really any point in it, so I picked #3.

I've never seen the point in nicknaming any of my pokemon.

So I choose the third option.

If I plan on using them at all (even for a few matches) in my games, then yes, I'll nickname them:

Mewtwo (Jayshu)
Articuno (Arctic)
Zapdos (Zelvar)
Moltres (Marlin)
Ho-oh (Ysese)
Kyogre (Posideon)
Latias (Talia)
Dialga (Chronepsis)
Giratina (Azrael)

Anyway, this is an incomplete list (as I've forgotten some nicknames and lost them via restarting or I never caught all the legendaries), but I have the habit of nicknaming them after gods/supernatural beings or exotic, fictional places.

... Well, then there's Marlin, but I don't want to bore you with an explanation. xD

I named my Zapdos Brent, my Moltres Alex, and My Articuno Suertefrio.

Suertefrio means Lucky cold or cold luck, it's because the last ball i had was a pokeball, it was full health, and I caught it.

I don't name my Legendaries. Since they are already unique, I see no reason to give them a Nickname.

The only Pokémon I ever nickname are slaves. And my first ever Pokémon (which I got to Level 100 without cheating or anything I must add :D) which I stupidly called Bob (a Piplup, now Empoleon)

I do the exact same thing you do! I hate how they use all Caps for names by default -_-.

Hell no! Not any more. The only legendary (even though it's not a real legendary) I nick named was the Red Gyarados from the original version of Gold. And then I gave it a cool name of a God from The Silmarillion (by JRR Tolkien of Lord of the Rings fame).

I don't see the point of nick naming legendaries as I treat them as once only pokemon that the NPC community has named.

I do, however, always give nick names to my competitive pokemon that I have bread.

I didn't nickname any of them. I couldn't think of anything clever at the time.
