Nickname thread. Post nicknames, suggest nicknames, mock nicknames. I wanted to go the JJBA route and name my team after songs/albums/artists, but immediately hit a wall with Gengar since "Purple Haze" is already taken.

I named my Soundproof Electrode Shizune Nowadays I just use (relatively) normal names for Pokemon I use more than once or twice. Some from my current game:
>Wilhelm the Wartortle >Ulrich the Umbreon >Priscilla the Raichu >Scirocco the Sylveon >Maxwell the Meowstic >Astrid the Azumarill and so on. In Pokemon and other RPGs I try to name my characters something that starts with the same letter as their species or class.
