I think the name for Gulpin is like that: Somewhere in the R/S/E/FR/LG Pokedex there was a description of Gulpin. I remember a small element that says "It can disgest even scrap metal", so i think it's Gulp + Pin.
In read almost that whole list and noticed that also forgotton was:
Aerodactly - also comes from the anciet flying dinosaur, the Terodactly (Not sure on spelling)
Mew - also is a word, mostly used in Japan, meaning something small or cute.
Gyarados - Gyro (As in "gyroscope" a spinning item used in airplanes and as toys. I think it means because gyarasod is so big and can spiral around itself like a snake.) + dos (Spanish word for "two". Beacuse he is a second stage)
Milotic - Could come from the word "Mitotic" Which is the process of cell division. And since feebas is completely different and ugly maybe this is what it means... :\
Wouldn't Vulpix also be from the Latin word "Vulpix", which means fox? There's also a contellation called Vulpix that looks like a fox.
And Gyarados might be "Gya" (as in "Gya! (insert some mad words here)!" since it's a "mean" PKMN) and rad as in "That's so totaly rad!". Os is a mouth-like opening, and boy does Gyarados have a large mouth (what big teeth you have)...I may be wrong on this, though.
