Lately, I have been naming my Pokemon after musicians, depending on what is appropriate or what I am listening to at the time.

For example:
Scyther - Slash
Roserade - Axl R.
Blissey - Courtney L.
Tyranitar - Steve H.
Abomasnow - Lemmy K.

I went with a 90s rock/grunge theme for my Eevee evolutions:
Eevee - Andy W.
Vaporeon - Eddie V.
Jolteon - Kurt C.
Flareon - Scott W.
Espeon - Chris C.
Umbreon - Layne S.
Glaceon - Billy C.
Leafeon - Perry F.

I also went with a Metallica theme for my fossils:
Bastiodon - James H.
Cradily - Kirk H.
Aerodactyl - Cliff B.
Armaldo - Lars U.
Kabutops - Rob T.
Omanyte - Jason N.
 
I'll name them either if I plan to use them in some way (battling, catching, egg-hatching), or if I happen to have a good name on the spot when I catch them. Names can be anything from cool to serious to downright silly.

Some names from games I'm playing:

On Diamond with my "serious" party, I don't give them nicknames. On Pearl, I nickname them. The only 3 that I really care about on Pearl are Fireworks (Quilava), Tsunami (Floatzel), and Treestar (Leafeon). :3
 
I'd collect the Pokemon trio that I use in my drawings as characters and nickname them this way:
Raichu-Raichu = Rai
Roserade-Rozureido = Rozu/Roze
Floatzel- Floatsel = Flow
Oh, I usually changed the Pokemon's name to Capital then small letters. BUIZEL = Buizel
 
My brothe named the Starmie I gave him Shiruken or Shuriken which is really creative.
 
I usually don't give my Pokemon nicknames.

But, I nicknamed my Chimchar, Blazer.

Lol

And my Dialga was nicknamed Time, and Palkia, Space.

XD
 
Sometimes I do...it depends on what I would name it...it would have to suit the pokemon! ':D
 
Puffy and bubbles

I have about 25 eevees named puffy.
 
Before, I used to name all my Pokemon corruptions of their regular names.
Pikachu-Peekachew
Jigglypuff-Jigliepuph
Xatu-Zatoo
You get the idea.
Lately though, I'm trying to name Pokemon based on their mannerisms and have them based on other video games I've played. The only ones I have so far is a Sassy Pelliper nicknamed Phyllis (Animal Crossing reference) and the pokemon cast of Super Smash Brothers Brawl all named after their Japanese names (because we heard a lot of those brawl's english release).
 
I don't name my Legendaries.
But for my nons I've used two types of naming.
Part of their names such as Pika. Sometimes giving them japanese honorifics(On my Gen III games) such as Pika-kun.
Or character traits such as my Staraptor; Shiner. Stars do what? Shine, thus Shiner.
I used to do jap names like my old Pikachu; Rai. (I have a lot of Pikachus)
 
Mew - Birth
Mew - Baby

I am choosing between the two
 
Haza call it 'Birth', that is such a nice name for a Mew considering the amount of time it took to establish what Mew is.
 
Yeah you are right but its just not a nice sounding word which is why I was considering Baby.
 
Well it is a Cute Contest pokemon so I thought it fit and you obviously do too.
 
Well there you go! Problem solved.

I am doing the monotype challenge and am considering naming my Pokemon after mythology like Poseidon, Behemoth etc.
