My Shiny Magikarp have very special/meanigful names!
All my Calico are named "Magi [x]" with the [x] being their numbers (Ex Magi IV). In honor of Magi, the first fallen Magikarp.
All my Orange two-tones are named after Japanese food, because I named my first one "Sushi".
I also got a Pink two-tone that I called Rose, so I think I'm going to call them flower names!

I don't give them nicknames, I'm not creative enough to come up with many.

Yes! Just random things like Hopps, Sushi, Nomm (idk lol) and etc. I have no taste and can't stick with a theme in a game where I'll be getting hundreds of these lol.

I nickname them all sorts of random things, just based on whatever I'm thinking about at the moment. My current karp has a pretty lame bonus (+20% Training JP), so I named it Ash Ketchum. Then I realized it's a girl...and laughed. Other named include Fool's Gold, Tina, Karpette, Flopsy, Mopsy, Karpentail, Karpe Diem, Matsuri, and the list goes on. It keeps it entertaining when they swim by in the background.

I nickname my Pokemon using only the letters found in the word Magikarp (Kari, Mira, Kim, Marg, etc.). Probably going to run out of names soon though, and then I'll either repeat names, or just stop naming them all together.

I've kept a naming scheme of bee

Maybee, Lady, Rabi, etc. The one I didn't name with that scheme I purposely got taken away with a pidgeotto because pffft getting 20% more jp from training with no pattern, what a weakling. ;p I did name it, but I can't figure out where to see past karps so I can't remember.

So I started naming mine after Japanese foods and seafood/fish. Tuna, Salmon, Sushi, Tako, Maki, Taiyaki, Takoyaki are among some of my recently used names. I'll probably go with Tamago next because it's cute.

Have done it for some. Random names either to do with its appearance or individual boost usually. Also went Karpador for the first one as I love the German name for Magikarp.

(Incidentally, 'Chump Change' was not allowed).

I nickname mine based on their pattern.

For example all my orange patterned are nicknames based on "Oran", as my first was Oran, second was Oranjiro, ect. Calico patterns usually get a "Cali" style or themed nickname.

Goldie is my only gold one, and further Gold karps are based on that.

If the pattern doesn't merit it's own nickname; I can derive a nickname based on Individual Attributes. For example my Gyrados'd karp was named Morbucks for having a sweet 90% coin bonus.

Nope. I don't nickname them. Why will I if I only get to spend so little time with them? Reduces the hurt I'll feel when they are forced to retire.

Idk where these names come from but my friends and I are all doing name patterns for our Karps.

Mine are all [something] L (because these Karps basically take an automatic L for being trained by me)

So far I've made names such as Dankest L, Thiccest L, Russ L (named after my friend), Kindest L, etc.

Don't ask why I'm like this, I've been asking myself that same question for years now and I still don't know.

I did in the beginning but after like 140 generations and after realizing there is no record of all my brilliant karp names I kinda stopped bothering with it

Update to my last post: I stopped nicknaming them. I simply get too many Magikarp and ran out of names to give them all... hahaha. You shall henceforth be known as Magikarp #8,512.

My first Karp...named it Karp Monster.

I want my Magikarp to feel like a monster, okay.
