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?
     
    Mahinebby. I tried to compromise as I would have named it "Mahinea" if it wasn't for the whole "Nebby" business.
     
    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.
     
    I thought cosmog and cosmoem looked like a nebby, but Lunala def did not so i left it
     
    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.
     
    I nicknamed my Solgaleo "Helios". It is fitting since it is the name of the sun God in the Greek mythology.

    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.
     
    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.

    Despite my best attempt, I ended up getting too attached to the little guy and named him Nebby.
     
    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".
     
    Mine's just the default name.
