Hmm..

Flygon: Chronizera (Long story about how I came up with his name.. so, I won't tell it)
Linoone: Swift (Cause well, its the rushing pokemon, so its bound to be swift)

Many others, too lazy to list more X3

Also, Nidowolf, I also have a Charmander named Nova (Although she's actually a Charizard now :p)
 

GolemGuy

Better Than Thou
Rayquaza: Dragend.

Dragend has basically been my main Pokemon for After-Game ever since Emerald. There, I cloned a horde of the guy and sent him to XD, Platinum, Diamond, and kept a few in Emerald. He's my highest leveled Pokemon in all of the games, btw, with his best incarnation being Lv. 92

Dragon/legend. IT'S SOMETHING OKAY.

Also, for whatever reason, I always name my starters Octop, my Bird Acearon, and my Golem Rockawn.

Slavophile and hockey fan
Okay-

Pikachu- Charlotte. I like that name
Gardevoir- Annabeth, after the actress Annabeth Gish (she played Agent Reyes during the last two seasons of The X Files
Teddiursa- Anderson, after CNN's Anderson Cooper, who's news program I enjoy. I also have a Seviper named Shepard, after Shepard Smith of Fox News (he's the ONLY person on that network I actually like)
Luvdisc- Dana, another X Files reference (to DANA Scully, our beloved heroine)
Umbreon- Blair. He's named after the host of a late-night radio show (it plays country music) called After Midnite, Blair Garner
Phanpy- B'Lanna. It's a name from Star Trek Voyager I've always liked.

Those are the ones NOT named after NASCAR/NHRA/Formula One/IndyCar drivers I support, or online friends.
 

HallwayKid

Water Pokemon Maniac
Luxio - Shaw (Shaw dude!)
Mothim - Drox (Felt like an appropriate sound)
Kirlia - Selie (Kirlia - Selia - Selie)
Lopunny - Ruse (Felt like an appropriate name)
Absol - Solne (It was kind of a cool name I came up with)
 
Umbreon: Kaitii
Umbreon: Reitii
Umbreon: Teitii
Umbreon: Beitii
Umbreon: Ceitii
Eevee: Sweitii

See a pattern? xD All one big happy family.
 

Wigglytuff FTW!

Oh hi thar
Giratina - Betsalel
iirc, it's Hebrew meaning "son of my sorrow". I think it fits.

Shiny Staraptor - Lucky
I can't chain for beans, and I have prolly 10 shinies, but they're always welcome. Only problem, was when I was going to catch it, it knew Whirlwind. Why couldn't I have the Gen. I engine then? But I caught it, it has pretty sweet IV's, so "Lucky" fits.

Lanturn - Nigel
When I caught it as a Chinchou, it reminded me of a certain friend of the same name whom I met in the 5th grade, but since I moved, I haven't seen him since...

Darkrai - Siegfried
I named him after my favorite fighter in the SoulCalibur series, Siegfried. I felt that Darkrai has had a bad past of nightmares, but is trying to redeem himself.

Typhlosion-Axel (from KH)
Arcanine-Leo (Arcanine always seemed to be a noble creature and I thought Leo was a noble sounding name)
Tyrannitar-Gaara (Yeah... he was my favorite character back when I liked Naruto)
Umbreon-Roxas (another KH name)
Espeon-Xion (yet another Kh name. I like the Roxas x Xion pairing so it only seemed logical)
Poliwrath-Yoshi (that cute turtle thing from the mario games. Yes, I know poliwrath is a frog...)
Raichu-Rika (haha... from Digimon)
Aerodactyl-Auron (from FFX)

As you might have noticed, I have a bit of an obsession with Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy X and a few other series.
