Do you nickname your pokemon?
Any of us feel the attachment or have the humour to nickname our pokemon? Whether your nicknames are serious or just jokes, what are some of the nicknames you've given or plan to give? And what are the meanings behind them?
Myself, I nickname stuff all the time, especially my permanent party members and competitively trained guys. Some of my favorites:
Dragonair♀ - "Cielo," Italian for "heaven."
Lapras♂ - "Baten," named after the star Zeta Ceti or Baten Kaitos, Arabic for "belly of the sea monster."
Tauros♂ - "Elnath," named after Beta Tauri. Arabic for "the butting" as in with bull horns.
Arbok♂ - "Ophiuchus" after the constellation also known as Serpentarius. (I have a thing for astronomy if you can't tell. lol)
Meganium♂ - "Ailanth," after the Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) known for its aggressive growth and foul smell. A bit ironic considering he knows Aromatherapy. lol
Now for some joke ones!
Clefable♀ - "Handle it!" Named because she sponges damage. A lot. And yes the exclamation point is part of the name. =P
Samurott♂ - "Lancelott" (See what I did there?)
Excadrill♂ - "Orville" because Drilbur's name made me think of the Wright Brothers.
Miltank♀ - "Trolltank" because FRIGGIN WHITNEY dasdfasdf
Claydol - "o.-.o.-.o" ...Most appropriate name I could come up with.
Beheeyem♂ - "MindFlayer" because somehow that's the only name I can remember this pokemon by.
