This is legitimately the worst nicknaming trope. I challenge you to find a worse one.

honestly I know most of the major Greek/Roman figures thanks to browsing Wikipedia while I was bored in primary school and Percy Jackson when I was a kid
>>46491571

I do the same, though at times I use some derivative if I see fit. For example, I have an ampharos named Louisa, if you know you know

I name my huge (rocky) Pokemon after mountains. For example, my latest Aggron was called Matterhorn and my Tyranitar was K2 (because it's the deadliest mountain in the world ayy lmao). Other than that, I have no specific naming conventions.

It's a little weird how some of us (I think) all went through this phase immediately. I also had one where I made the nicknames the species name backward, retarded as fuck

I guess it's a better phase than "word your dumb kid self thought sounded cool", like I did for some reason. I also used to smash multiple words together, whether they were related or not.

>Resistance the Cyndaquil
>Starhigh the Fearow
>Nightnone the Espeon

I also did the Greek shit at one point.

Yes because John Dwayne in WWE calls himself "The Rock". And pokedex usually says that Geodude is a rock.
