Damn near everyone is named after a flowering plant of some sort, too.
>Viola-Violet
>Grant-Pomegranate
>Korrina-Cornichon, French name for gherkin
>Ramos-Ramus is Latin for branch; also Adonis ramosa
>Clemont-lemon/clementine
>Valerie-genus Valerianella
>Olympia-synonym for the genus Hypericum
>Wulfric-genus Wulfenia
Obviously compiled shamelessly from Bulbapedo. The flower/plant thing extends to the E4, Champion, Flare Scientists, Lysandre, and just about everyone else who has a name up until when you beat the game.

His Japanese name Masaki is a shitty pun on "misaki" (meaning cape - the sign outside his house says "The misaki house: Masaki's house" which is sort of amusing), but his English name seems incredibly random.
