Well, I have my share of nicknaming things. Playing in English X helped me in making cool names I couldn't do in my Japanese AS.
First of all, though, it is my
Triples team core I used in Battle House.
Heatnix (Heat + Phoenix. I recall, also a Maverick boss in Rockman X6)
Navitzer (Navy + Howitzer. I mean, cool panzer)
Kirito (霧
Kiri, 'mist'.
Not related to SAO's Kirito, I'd make him Physical if I do)
I also have a girl Nymphia named...
Nina. Basic, but cute. I should get another one specialized for Trick Room, naming him
Elpis or
Elpizo of Rockman Zero 2.
I also did Psychic specialism. Esper type is cool.
Vixenia (Sounds basic, but I like how it sounds)
Maleficia (Looks maleficent enough)
ほしな (
Hoshina. Partially keepsake name of a friend)
And haven't had it yet, but would want to have a male Nyaonix named
Nix. Being dark blue colour helps.
And should have named a Metagross "
Arms of War" in X. He's made for wars.
The others are not very creative though, like ルナたん (Cresselia) and ラティちゃん (Latias)
And then there are some cool names like Anticalibur, Blazerion, ジュピテル (Jupitel), Voltyr/らいと, and so on. Somehow I like making it sounding like they came from some RPG.
Anyways, seeing epic names makes my creativity flow somehow.
