Nicknaming Phanpy, which evolves into Donphan.

What should I name him?

I'm thinking Peanut, Dumbo, or Hotrod (Donphan rolls up into a wheel/tire).

Also, good Pokémon nicknames thread.

Incineroar is obviously John Incineroar or Incenaroar.

Decidueye is Green Arrowl or Owliver Queen.

Primarina is..... uh, I've got nothing, not even bait.

Just came here to say that this pic is too adorable.
That Phanpy struck a chord in my heart.

Same. A cute Water type alternative evolution would be perfect.

Personally, I would go either with something like Adolphus, with its long, dark, broad sounds mimicking Donphan's appearance, or a Punic name like Hasdrubal or Hamilco, because of Carthaginian elephant autism
those names are probably out of place for your team though, I usually give my pokemon names from antiquity

Good names, but I am looking for a cuter name for my Phanpy. I typically only use names from antiquity if they're particularly fitting to the actual Pokémon being named.

And I feel like giving Pokémon names of gods and goddesses has become cliché and trite. Those with actual mythological knowledge are no longer original for doing so.

Sometimes cute and clever is all that's needed.
