Comes from Magma + Abyss. It has fire, water and a touch of darkness, just like the CAP. It's also easy to understand and pronounce.
Pronounced: "MAG-muh-biss"
IPA: 'mæɡməbɪs

Octoburn
"octopus" + "burn"
Pronounced: OCK-toe-burn

Esquidsite
Combination of Exquisite + Squid
Pronounced: es-QUID-zit
IPA: ɛskwɪdzɪt
Exquisite: "of special beauty or charm, or rare and appealing excellence, as a face, a flower, coloring, music, or poetry." You know there's something special about a Pokemon that has a mustache. Alakazam and Jellicent are all fine examples of classy Pokemon, and they're very usable in battle. And as a Pokemon designed to take a couple of OU misfits and take them to the top as a core, well, you know it's gotta have some sort of insane patience not to go berserk. And as for the squid part... it's a squid. Yeah.

interesting idea but since this is a squid not an octopus maybe aquateuthis to get the same effect but with the genus for squid.

Poulpyre
A combination of "poulpe", which is French for octopus, and "pyre"
Pronounced: POOL-pyre
IPA: puːlˈpaɪər
The French term for octopus ties in with generation 6's French inspirations, while how it's pronounced further emphasizes its Water typing.

Since I have yet to get feedback on which name I should take, I decided to create a poll. Please vote here. (All done) It only takes 10 seconds (hopefully)
The Names
Lucernabyss
Pronounciation: loo-SAIR-na-bis
Lucerna ("lamp" in Latin) + Abyss
This name is evokes a "light in the dark sea" sort of feel which I feel this CAP exemplifies. Sort of like an Anglerfish, using the light to draw the prey towards it.
Lamiabyss
Pronounciation: la-MI-a-bis
Lamia ("vampire" roughly in Latin) + Abyss
This name was made to showcase more of the "vampire squid" aspect of our CAP. It is the vampire of the deep I guess.
L names are best names.
Edit: Thanks for voting. I decided to go with Lucerabyss as it got the most votes and I want to enter the submissions early. Thank You!

Lucernabyss
Combining "Lucerna" (lamp in Latin) and "Abyss"
Pronounced: loo-SAIR-na-bis
IPA: luː'sɛərnəbɨs
Since we are forming a trio with Lucario and Latias, our CAP should have a name that starts with "L". I envisioned this CAP as like the "light" in the deep sea, and since lamp has a fiery connotation, the root "lucerna" would be appropriate. The abyss part is self-explanatory. This name evokes an image of the Pokemon using its light to draw in its prey, leading them towards their consumption.
