6th Gen What did you nickname your pokemon?

Delphox - Mozilla
Aerodactyl - Dino-Soar
Lapras - Nessie
Shiny Azumarill - Bob
Blaziken - KY Fryd Chkn (It barely fits lol)
Gengar - Slim Shady
Kangaskhan - KHAAAAAAAAN!
Aegislash - I'mNotMeta?!
Rotom Wash - ScRotom-W (I figured out that you can make this word by adding Sc in front of it from Diamond...you can't blame me for reusing it)
Lucario (Phys Sweeper/Male) - Ryu
Lucario (Spe Sweeper/Female) - LAura
 
I don't normally do nicknames for my mons but i did name my shiny Persian Jewel. she is special to me so i thought she deserved a special name.
 
Delphox - Mozilla

I'm not the only one who did this! Yes! XD

Anyhow...

Delphox - Mozilla
Yveltal - Oblivion
Venusaur - Veneno
Lapras - Laplace
Lucario - Lucar
Pidgeot - Atta
Butterfree - Squilliam

That's all I remember off the top of my head. I don't even have a reason for half of these. XD
 
I don't really give nicknames, apart from to Gengar. I always call them Legion.

"My name is Legion: for we are many." Just feel like it's fitting for them.
 
I got a Vaporeon in wonder trade named Will Smith, so I decided to have four Eeveelutions named after black actors.
I now have:
Vaporeon: Will Smith
Flareon: Sam Jackson
Jolteon: Morgan Freeman
Umbreon: Jack Black
 
Delphox - Wildfire - That was my first thought when i saw Fennekin
Blastoise - Fullbuster - Character from Fairy Tail :)
Yveltal - Shadow - I am using shadow for nicknames in almost all games or shadowche
Greninja - Froki - Just a random name :)

That's all for now, i just finished final four 2 days ago and focused on breeding eevees :D
 
Let's see... off the top of my head...

Eevee- Starfee (German for Frozen Faerie, since I planned on using it for Sylveon)
Female Honedge- Nimue (King Arthur reference of course! Named after the Lady of the Lake)
Male Honedge- Caliburn (Named after the sword of course.)
Female Fennekin- Hazel (Named after one of my RP characters, who happens to be a female fox)
Shinx- Zimba (Named after one of my friend's character, who's an electric using lion)
Cubone- Jammer (German word for Misery.... plus it sounded cool)
Furfrou- Remi (Yet another one named after an RP character! this time a poodle)

and while I don't have one yet, when I get a male Espurr, I'm SO going to call it Kakashi... it just, kinda reminds me of the ninja from Naruto. x3

So, yeah, I think it's obvious what my general naming conventions are. o.o
 
These are only the pokemon in my main party
Chesnaught-Dean he is named after Dean Winchester from Supernatural, and my character's name is Sam.
Charizard-Inferno
Pikachu-Static
Laprus-Seabreez Yes I know there is suppose to be an "e" at the end I messed up.

My Lucario and Mewtwo are not nicknamed, I felt like it would be disrespectful to name them since my Lucario is from the gym leader and Mewtwo is a powerful legendary.
 
I nicknamed my Arcanine Iroh :)

Yeah, I know the feeling. I NEVER nickname the Legendaries... I think I've nicknamed other gift Pokemon before though.
 
I nicknamed my Arcanine Iroh :)

*gives a magical avatar poffin*

Jellicent - Elizabeth
Luxray - Mercutio
Infernape - Enma
Arcanine - Helios
Mismagius - Skuld + Urd
Feraligatr - Nile
 
I wanted to name Exeggcute Huevos earlier, but the game would not let me so I had to settle for Huevo.
 
My IGN is Jordan but my nickname is Darrel...
My Team,
Garchomp: Blue (My first ever Garchomp was a shiny in Gen IV :D)
Meowstic: Jester (He's the happiest Meowstic ever :P)
Greninja: One (Named after my Assassin in Borderlands 2, 'cuz get it, 0, 1...)
Noivern: Harmony (Just a cool sounding female nickname)
Ampharos: Lightning (Totally creative - named after old team in Black 1)
Charizard: Kindle (Again, I'm so creative XP)
 
My talonflame is called Duncan. I caught it as a fletchling. I named it after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Fletcher
My greninja is called fjodor. Usually my pokes names start with the same name as their species name.
So F and I wanted a water= seafaring or maritime name so it became Fjodor.
Heliolisk is called Hardy.

My other team dont have a nick as they were wonder traded )salamence as a lv1 bagon) swampert from a white1 trade and malamar as a lv10 inkay
