What nicknames are you giving your Pokemon!??

[AmetsuCAT]

I hope to call my Lycanroc Midday form Balto, from the movie since it kind of looks like him. Litten I might call Koba, and my Silvally Chimera.

 

[Zegner]

My Salandit (Female): Xerina
My Mimikyu (Male): Quirnél
My Oricorio Sensu (Female): Oryanthia
(I have no idea for my Popplio, Formantis, nor my... last Pokémon i don't have yet...)

 

[Kameken]

Since catching the ultra beasts is apparently 100% a thing now, and since they are clearly just stands, I've decided to name them accordingly.

Spoiler:

I'll probably have to abbreviate a lot of them as I come up with more, but whatever

UB-01: [GLASS HOUSES]
UB-02 Absorption: [THE TOUCH]
UB-02 Beauty: [PRETTY WOMAN]

 

[Karous]

I'm going to name my Rowlett Olive, after Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow. I soft reset for a female starter so I'm going with the female version of the name.

 

[cyanidebaby]

Litten- Kyra/Kiara (soft resetting for female, both mean dark lady)
Rowlet- (soft resetting female) Darcy
Popplio (soft resetting for female) Banshee
Alolan Exeggutor BrokeANut
Mimiku: Boggart
Rockruff: Griffgruff
Alolan Cubone WhoCriesNow?
Mudsdale: Carmen

 

[Solar Snivy]

Got a few of these:

• For my Rowlet, I will do either Archer or Lily, depending on what gender it is. Unless I decide to soft reset for a shiny, in which case I will probably name it Pine or Conny (Conifer).
• I will name my Pichu either Puka (for obvious reasons) or Finn because that sounds like a surfer's name.
• Rockruff will be Ricky because alliteration. Never mind the fact that Ricky the Lycanroc is not alliterative.
• Steenee will be Stella. (might not evolve it to Tsareena)
• Oricorio (either pompom or hawaiian) will be Lulu
• Mimikyu: Aime from the french word meaning to like or to love
• Pikipek will be called Pikmin because "Picky Pikmin, Pikipek, picked a peck of purple pickled pik piks"

 

[Arjay]

Oranguru - King Louie
Dartrix (because I ain't evolving him into THAT thing) - Achilles
Mudsdale - Clyde

Haven't decided what else I want on my team yet. Probably Baile style Oricorio depending on how early it's obtainable.

 

[JoshTheTrainer]

I'm gonna call them: Glaceon, Glaceon, Glaceon, Glaceon... oh yeah, and maybe Glaceon.
Nah, I'm just kidding. I don't really give my Pokémon nickname. I have no clue what to call them. Maybe I should name my main Pokémon after the girl that got me into the newer Pokémon games I used to chat daily with... :P

 

[PageEmp]

Eh, I'll just do my usual naming scheme for regular play, which is whatever comes to my mind. So my names will probably be random.

 

[WingsofBliss]

I think it'll depend on the gender... I would like to get a female Salandit and name it Sandy, and name my Rowlet Kiwi.

 

[Darkbirt]

I usually don't give my Pokémons nicknames, but if I catch a male Gumshoos I just need to call him Trump.

 

[Azire]

What is this nicknaming business of which you speak?

 

[IndigoMoon]

I started thinking about it, and I already have some vague idea (I want to nickname my Rockruff Rough for example), but actually going by a theme this time would be nice! Maybe I'll use song names, I'll just have to go through my youtube playlists for inspiration ^^

 

[calebsdogsdrule]

Poptart

 

[Knyte]

For Rowlet: Archimedes/Archermedes (from Sword in the Stone)
jangmo-o: stays
wishiwashi: Merlin (a reference to the wizard teacher)

Spoiler:

get schooled

mimikyu: haven't thought of one yet
oricorio: stays
lycanroc: Howlycan or Lycanthroar (because rock-ruff)

 

[hijhiysonikku]

Rowlet - Lilo
Type: Null - Unodostres

 

[Xerecies]

I generally don't nickname my Pokemon, I am quite fond of their given names.

 

[shadowalex2000]

My team:

Decidueye: Owliver Queen or Robin Hoot
Lycanroc: Moony
Vikavolt: Motobug
Mudsdale: Arthur (Male), Epona (Female)
Wishiwashi: Lusitania
Turtonator: Bowser

 

[Terumi-kantoku]

Primarina: Lyria or maybe Caballe (A famous opera songstress surname.)
Lycanroc midnight: Flannel (From FE Fates.)
Oricorio Baile: Lorena (My friend´s OC that also dances flamenco.)

 

[w1f1pa55w0rd]

i like to name my Pokemon after moves, or sometimes abilities, or other references.
for example,
Deino-Hustler
INfernape-Heat Wave, etc.

I'm thinking for solgaleo, iron head, for jangmo-o, Head-BUTT, mimikyu- hex, rowlet- leif, type:null, (if he can learn this) body-slam, rockruff(the exception), THE ROCK
