Oh I named myself ASH like always. It's been a tradition since my yellow version and I just stuck with it. Plus all my pokemon have the same OT haha.

Nate and Hugh. But I prefer the save file where I named the rival, Clark instead.

Me-Smith
Not sure why, but that name has recently been my name for all of my pokemon games.

Rival-larenzo
Same reason as my name.

Pokemon-I don't name those.

Player name: Harry
Rival name: Draco

I named all of my Pokemon after creatures in Harry Potter, such as my trusty machop being Dolby and my Snivy being named Slytherin. The only exception is a shiny Mewtwo I received in a trade whom was already named Sloppy Joe.

I think I named my character Hamako, since that is my PC username.
I left the name of the rival default, no point changing the name.

For myself, I'm called Zara... and obviously a girl. :pink_tongue:
For my rival, I believe I called him Spike. Probably because of his spikey personality... and his hair. xD
For my Pokémon, I only named my Tepig/Pignite/Soon-to-be-Emboar Flame. I've always had a fire starter called Flame. :pink_smile: For he rest of the Pokémon I catch, I leave their names alone. In White though, I LOVE naming Pokémon! :chu: But for a Pikachu or a Piplup, or even a legendary Pokémon, I leave their names alone too.

I have named a few guys in white 2.

My Pidove is Si. (if you know what that is from it might make a tiny bit of sense)

I named my Riolu Jet (I didn't wanna us Sokka for him)

And in black two I just caught a female exadrill that I named Toph.

Myself: Bob. That's what I always name my character in Pokemon games. Or pretty much any games, for that matter.

Rival: Hugh. Because it's the default, and when I say that "Hugh blah blah blah," people should immediately know who I mean.

Pokemon: Other than solo runs or nuzlockes or the like, I don't nickname. I go through far too many pokemon - catching and training and evolving and trying out movesets and putting them on my team and taking them off my team - to come up with anywhere near enough good nicknames.

Not really started on my White 2 yet, but here's what I've planned.
Player: Cookie (my nickname.)
Rival: Morris (because I don't like the name Morris.)

Pokemon:
Clefable - Pixie (obviously because Clefable is based off of a pixie/fairy type critter.)
Typhlosion - Simone (after my favorite singer.)
Togekiss - Fondue (this is if I manage to get a shiny, which is a light fondue color. I'm not sure what I'll name it if I can't get a hold of one.)
Haven't decided names for my other Pokemon yet.

Pokemon:
Serperior - Sekinal (Just an original name.)
Lapras - Kristoph (Another original name, and Lapras just feels like a Kristoph.)

Latios - Eonalias (Just a combination of Eon and a random word.)
Espeon - Reki (Named after a character from Aria of the Scarlet Ammo, a serious I enjoy.)
