Ooooo. I love nicknaming my Pokemon. Although at times I'm not creative with them I do find creating them entertaining. Here are some of the names I made for my in-game team in Platinum.

Empoleon- Misuzu
Togekiss- Cootie
Gliscor-Robin
Frosslass- Princess
Gardevoir- Diva
 
I mostly give simple names to my Pokemon or sometimes I give them a bit of a name that refer to the type like my Platinum team

Apollo/Monferno
Sparky/Luxio
Storm/Starvia
Cloud/Driftblum
Tails/Buizel
 
My nicknames are often alternatives to their origional names.
Treeterror-Torterra
Huntkrow-Honchkrow
and so on...
 
I named by Buizel Tails too!! xD of course I think its probably a popular name for the litte critter. I don't usually nickname my Pokemon, only the ones that I try to have in my final team. Most of their names usually have a meaning behind them or have to do with the type of pokemon they are like some of mine are:

Leader/Staraptor
Tails/Buizel
Sparkle/Pikachu
Sparky/Pikachu with Volt Tackle
Alterio/Umbreon (has something to do with night I forget...)
Helaku/Espeon (has something to do with day I think)
Dragon/Charizard
Ryu/Charmeleon (it means Dragon in Japanese ^_^)

And I have tons more...of course I ran into a person who named all their pokemon after food..really weird but funny
 
That really depends on my mood...

When I began playing Pokémon, I used the name of a Pokémon and modified it slightly.

Mudkip/Kippi. It's now a lv 100 Swampert, so "Kippi" sounds ridiclous.

Wingull/Winda. It's now a lv 100 Pelipper, but I still like the name.

Spheal/SEAL. Yeah, that nickname sucks XD

My current names are usually nouns.

Charmander/Flare, for example.

Then I had a period with names that just sounded fitting.

Seviper/Seiwe
Zubat/Zede
Vileplum/Noe

And then the "all girl team" period...

Oddish/Miss Petal
Wingull/Queen Sea
Wingull/Lady Ocean

So it differs a lot xD
 
And now for even more of my Pokemon nicknames!

Well first of all, I mentioned in my last post that I have a bunch of Harry Potter-themed Pokemon nicknames. Right now, I'm also in the slow process of building a list of Lord of the Rings-themed nicknames as well. So far I have:
Sableye: Gollum (mentioned in my last post)
Registeel: Mithril
Ponyta: Shadowfax (will make more sense when he becomes a Rapidash)
Torterra: Bombadil (previously named Pangaia...)
Gabite: Moria
Charizard: Smaug (Actually, Smaug's from The Hobbit, but close enough...)
I'll add to this list once I start catching the legendaries... especially Giratina, Heatran, and the psychic trio, and maybe Dialga as well. I know exactly what to name them. ^_^

Other nicknames:

Cherubi: Jubilee
Monferno: Imp
Luxio: Electra
Gardevoir: Guinevere
Gallade: Arthur
Xatu: Shaman
Mightyena: Ohkami (Japanese for wolf)
Seviper: Slytherin (I guess I'm still working on the Harry Potter theme)
Floatzel: Weasley (Likewise)
Bronzor: Ferrum (Latin for iron)
Teddiursa: Princess (because the "Hime" part of its Japanese name means "princess")
Milotic: Dreamboat
Relicanth: Granny
Lanturn: Lumiere (French for light)
Hypno: Mesmeria
Vaporeon: Triton
Jolteon: Static
Flareon: Foxy
Espeon: Akamaru
Umbreon: Black Cat
Leafeon: Leif
Glaceon: Jackfrost
Rotom: Robomaster
Aipom: Dexter
 
i find when i am trading, pokemon with nicknames dont trade as well as one without
as alot of people like them to be UT, mainly on shinys, events, etc...
so i keep all mine without nicknames, as i think it ruins there value if at some point i want to trade them.
 
Pokemon nickname request/showoff thread

My current pokemon that are nicknamed are....

Porygon-Z: Skype
Typhlosion: Chase (This was the nickname it had when I got it in a trade so I might as well stick with it)

Right now I'm having trouble nicknaming my Rotom (Lawn mower form) I was thinking of nicknaming it "Hacker" but I think people would get the wrong impression about it :p

You wouldn't be able to change Chase's name anyway because it's from a trade. As for Mower Rotom:

Motor
Sawyer
Rayzr/Razor
 
Acutally I had to do some rebreeding so it would be a mild nature :p I still decided to keep its name as chase anyways. It sounds cool.
 
For Rotom? "Poltrguyst" sounds cool, but is independent of form...

For mower form specifically, I'd go with "Blak&Deckr" XD

Make it something funny, like "iEatGrass".

Anyway, my Pokemon nicknames make no sense at all...

Pidgeot- "Wingo Starr" (After Ringo Starr)
Cloyster- "Auroracorn" (Aurora Beam + That horn on his head)

AND THE STUPIDEST ONE OF THEM ALL...

Arcanine- "Fog" (Combination of the words "Fire" and "Dog")
 
I always nickame my pokemon the best name i think i came up with was my areodactyls name which was LandB4Time
 
Yup i always give them nicknames.
For example:
Pikachu- Pika
