Nicknames?

Aviano

I dropped my balls
Well, I began training my Exeggute today, and realised I had called it "Fegg." I get the egg, but not the F. I thought is was a really strange nickname - I think it was because I caught it by accident in Safari Zone.

Fegg is the best nickname ever for an exeggute. I hope you will forever stay innocent enough to not understand it.
 

Cain

RAWR
Eh, I generally don't nickname my Pokemon. I do for some though, and I usually forget why. Yesterday I noticed that I named my Dustox and Beutifly Est and Ich, and it still confuses me.
 

Riversong

Buggy down.
Some of my more favorite ones include:

Rocket the Latias
Lunar the Latios

And this is my team:
Lucky the Togekiss
Berry the Vileplume
Chico the Charizard
Crunch the Huntail
Seth the Aggron
and Cavern the Crobat
 
I sometimes name my pokemon, but usually all I do it put it in lowercase instead of it being at all default. Sometimes, I may give it's japanese name. Or I can give it a name that suits it.

I used to nickname all of my Pokemon, but I had too much Pokemon owned by other people. So I couldn't. But I my Crocanaw's name used to be Mac.
 

gameboy

Pokeball go!
When I was little I named 2 poor oddishes New and Hampshr. I thought that New Hampshire's name was hilariously funny for some odd reason, no offense to New Hampshirhians.(sp?) At Nintendo's World I found a wurmple in their try-them games that you play for 5 minutes that I named jalalala, while my favorite nickname must be Cezanne. It was my 1st lv.100 pokemon, a dewgong in Blue, and I renamed a Dewgong it in D/P.

I nickname all the pokemon in my party ALWAYS. It bugs me when people don't give them names. I don't call my cat CAT, so I'm not gonna call my skitty SKITTY. :) The only ones I never nickname are the legendaries (except to lower-case their names - LATIOS to Latios, MEWTWO to Mewtwo, etc).

Some of my personal favorites I've used:
Miranda (Charizard)
Chiko (Pikachu)
Meepos (Lanturn)
Tango (Infernape)
Scully (Cubone)
Boba (Wobbuffet... get it? Wobbuffet... Bobaffet... Boba Fett? Eh? Ehhh?)

Venusaur- Gardan (Garden and Dan, my uncle)
Charizard (F)- Eliza
Rayquaza- Raykwanzaa (Need a shiny, so i can change the normal ones name to Shen Long)
Typloshion- Ifrit
Feraligatr- Leviasteve (Tribute to Steve Irwin)
Heracross- Hera X
Magmar- Calgary (Calgary Flames hockey team)
Gyarados- Soda Rage (Gyarados backwards, basically)
Most of my pokes from XD end in -lion, my name on their was Axelion.
 

Mojira

Wait 'til next year.
I don't call my cat CAT, so I'm not gonna call my skitty SKITTY.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Admittedly, most of the pokemon randomly floating around in my PC have no nicknames, but anything I train will get one. Some of the best:

Boof (Bidoof)
Zoth-Ommog (Manaphy)
Guy Noir (Dusknoir)
Torgo (Medicham)
Kiryu (Skarmory)
Odako (Octillery)
Damon (Blaziken)
Ecto (Rotom)
Bill Gates (Porygon2)
TAKI 183 (Smeargle)
Epona (Rapidash)

Plenty of obscure references there...

Mist Wolf...I get it. You called your Mightyena "Yuki" becuase it is a mist wolf? (Although yuki technicallly means snow...)

Am I right?

I have taken to naming any pokemon I train, though I didn't name my in-game party(except for Lucario). Otherwise if something seems to fit, I just name it. I also like/try to give them Name-names. I'm sick of seeing every other Pikachu named Sparky.-_- Or for that matter how everyone names their cats/dogs Fluffy. I mean How'd you like it if your name was just whatever your hair color was or something.

Current names:
Cyrus-Leafeon
Ragnarok-Aggron
Flansburg-Charizard
Lucian-Flygon
Super-Bot-Starmie
Jet Stream-Garchomp
Sasha-Cradily
Brent-Hippowdon
Cecil-Skarmory
Natasha-Tyrannitar
Vash-Rampardos
Specter-Ambipom
Suzuki-Ninetails
SpiritBomb-Spiritomb
Gideon-Gliscor
Rosa-Roserade(shoulda thought of something better)
Riley-Lucario(after the guy who gives one to you)
Jake-Empoleon
Blumier-Gardevoir(Male)
Gaston-Bastiodon

I don't normaly name Legendaries, but I did name my Heatran DoomTrain.
