    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.
     
    The only nick for legends I gave is my Palkia from Pearl , named AVENGER .

    Well , I got lazy with nicks ... and I like legends without them so....
     
    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.
     
    Yeah I do to most of them Unless I cant think of one on the spot right away.

    Articuno - Artic
    Moltres - Phoinex
    Zappodos - Cloud

    Shaymin - Minty
    Garatina - Phantom
     
    Yes, I do. I always nickname everything, as i'm a grammar freak.This is my nicknammes for the ones you can catch in Platinum:

    Uxie
    Azelf
    Mesprit
    Dialga
    Palkia
    Giratina
    Cresselia
    Heatran
    Darkrai
    Shaymin

    Lol
     
    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 named my Zapdos Steve once but that's it.
     
    I've never seen the point in nicknaming any of my pokemon.

    So I choose the third option.
     
    Yes, I do. I always nickname everything, as i'm a grammar freak.This is my nicknammes for the ones you can catch in Platinum:

    Uxie
    Azelf
    Mesprit
    Dialga
    Palkia
    Giratina
    Cresselia
    Heatran
    Darkrai
    Shaymin

    Lol

    That's just lazy what you did. Give them real nicknames...
     
    I like to just leave the legendary Pokémon names alone . I never really give my Pokémon nicknames anyway :)
     
    Yup some of them:

    Moltres : FLAMEWINGS
    Articuno: ICEWINGS ( see where im going with this? )
    Zapdos : SPARKWINGS

    ( Pearl )Palkia : Kiamanor
    ( Pearl ) Giratina : Tina
    ( Pearl ) Cresselia : Lesley ( Dunno Why )

    ( Platinum ) Palkia : PEARL
    ( Platinum ) Dialga : DIAMOND
    ( Platinum ) Giratina : Nothing
    ( Platinum ) Uxie : WHYWONTYOUGETINTHEFECKINGPOKEBALL! ( I Soooo Wanted To Call It That )
    ( Platinum ) Mespirit, Azelf , Uxie , Cresselia, Regigigas: None
     
    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)
