Final Submission
Mallure
"Mal" ("evil" and/or "apple") + "Allure" + "Lure"
Pronounced: Mahl - LOOR
IPA: ˈməˈlʊr
"Mal" has a dual meaning of "evil" or "apple", befitting the serpent who had tempted mankind into sin. "Allure" and "lure" further the design and its origin with its alluring apple lure for a tail and how it lured Eve into eating that forbidden fruit. :P

- Harle: I'm not too sure what to think of Omeneve; there's a good flow to them, but there's something with it (alternating vowels and consonants, perhaps) that I find strange. Ourosuade's pretty good; the origins of the words are more obvious, but they still flow well. I mentally put 'suave' in place of 'suade' there, which is a mispronunciation. Can't do anything about that, though.
- Max Fightmaster: I'll address that it reminds me of 'tall' more than 'fall'. It sounds like it'd fit, but it'd get slight confusion for its word origin.
- DrNeoCortex: Both of them reference mythology and snakiness, and they both flow well! I like the sound of Cerepent. Just make sure to look at final submission format.
- iamdanielcruces: It has an odd assembly of letters, but it sounds really cool. :) I like it.
- adonnis85: Heh, Rappler remind me of 'rap', and I bet people'll make that connection during and (potentially) after the art polls. I'd rather not have that connection.
- Espeon65: Not bad with the references, but the etymology gets slightly confusing when you piece the words together. You're free to brush this comment aside. :P
- Nyktos: I think of Ophidden instead, if only because it currently reminds me of a certain type of den. It could also add another word, 'hidden', like the snake's tendency to ambush its prey. Pychthon is cool, but that 'chth' in the middle makes it pronounced the same as 'python', or it confuses those who don't know how 'chthonic' is pronounced.
- Roserade Raider: Hmm, hiss names. Not too fond of them unless they really work well with another word, which this one does so less. :(
- RabidChipmunk: Like with Vann Accessible, say the name out loud, and see why it's a good name, but why it won't work.
- Haradion: Forsnaken without that extraneous E is my favorite of your bunch, but none of them are that interesting to me.
- Mari: Temptolvo has a nice sound to it, as does Cladisnake. Their origins aren't too obvious, though, and that's my concern.
- Allethosea: I like both names you've posted, even if they are a little cheesy. :) They fit and have some component words that reference various parts of it while still being obvious!
- KoA: Addler is simple and has good flow and has great references to its origins and snakiness, though I can't see it working as the name for this CAP for its simplicity. Maybe a pre-evolution.
- Vann Accessible: Telltail does have a wonderful few implications to its name, and it certainly would fit. It would be a fun change from the other CAP names we've gotten. Basilibulb has less of an effect to me, but I can see it working.
- kickbox: Glython looks better, and I'd avoid a reference to something overtly religious. Anguit is also cool, if it weren't for the fact that the 'ui' in your component words are probably pronounced differently.
- Quickster: Not bad. o3o That is all.
- Ruby XIII: Pretty obscure in word origin, if you ask me. :P
- Juicy: Ah, homophone. ;D To the pronunciation, certainly!
- RegiFlame150: I'd take Wrapple, although it's slightly sillier than my personal preference. The component words are great, though, and it flows well, which are my requirements for a good name. :)
- SubwayJ: As mentioned, it makes me think of a bookworm rather than a deceitful snake. If it was for that, though, you'd have a shot at garnering voters.
- BrianFantana: 'Trick' is less obvious due to the 'st' start from 'constrict', though it works; I do prefer Malevopent, even if I bet it'll face competition with Malaconda.
- Keiran: 'Lact-' is often associated with milk; 'galaxy' referred to the Milky Way, lactation is the secretion of milk, and lactose is the milk sugar. Thus, Lactaboa makes me think of milk as well. Pessimamba does make me think of pessimism, which doesn't fully relate to the concept, but it's much closer than what 'lacta' implied.
- Ralts: Kalhissti is a 'hiss' portmanteau that is punny, but not too egregiously so to have me have an aversion to it. It fits, flows, and isn't too obscure or obvious.
- pux: Ouraboros is my favorite out of your bunch, albeit it could be thought of as 'our' 'arboros'. If you cut the 'u' out, it looks less like that, but on the other hand, it looks clunkier as a whole. Hmm. :/
- Kirbyofthestars: Between the 'bd' combination and the lack of 'ce', I'm not feeling the origins and flow of the name. I feel that there would be something from mythology that ends in 'bdu', but as it stands, it's rather clunky.
- Nomark: Cute, certainly. I can't see it as a serious contender for this CAP's name, though; a pre-evolution, perhaps, but not this design. Shame, though, since I really do like it.
- Thunderbolta: First one is nice and would fit with what pokemon occasionally does with names. Vismith doesn't make me think of vipers or apples, so go with Crueltalus. :P
- BloodOmen: If you can fit 'hiss' with another word so that the entire thing flows, do so, but this combination doesn't as much.
- Darth Missingno.: I don't know. I like both of them! That is tricky, then to decide, but if I had to choose, I'd go with Anguile, since its origins are slightly more obvious.
- SodaSwordfighter: It works, though it's on the obvious side of names. I'm not opposed to it. :P
- ProfessorPyroak: Eagle4 already mentioned the name. :|
- ShravanP: The second name makes me think that the 'asp' stems from 'wasp'; the snake isn't very aggressive--just deceptive. Ominasp is better, in my opinion, although if you can, think of another name.
- Yarnus of Bethany: I don't actually see the suggestion; I see just 'Eden' and 'apple' smushed together. :/
- Lster728: Surrpent will face competition with other names with 'serpent' in them. Surreptile is of the same idea, but I like it for how well 'surreptitious' and 'reptile' mingle with one another. :)
- adhdtv: But it's not based off of Norse mythology? Christian and Greek were stated by Dracoyoshi8, but not Norse.
- ShadowLime: Orcharm is nice, even if I think 'ore' is a stretch. 'Orchard' and 'charm' are good enough for name components.
- CJorex: This is both well-fitting and humorous at the same time, and it'd certainly alleviate some of the snake's deviousness! It brings a smile to my face, and it stands among some of the names I'll be voting for. :) I think the 'hiss' is unnecessary, though, and weakens the effect of 'delicious'.
- Flaresun: It is a bit of an unobvious mingling of words. That will not do well with voters. IPA, find a translator or use it from a dictionary. Apologies.
- Shanimanim: Ending a name with the idea of 'viper' will remind me of 'Seviper', which had already done it. Not that that's bad, but I'd like to personally see some variety. :)
- Flare Blitzle: I had thought of doing something like that, but I waved it off when trying to piece it together so it didn't sound muddled. I suppose your rendition works. o3ob
- Aurist: Hmm, really? Nachash means both 'serpent' and 'shine'? That certainly stands out. :) It sways me toward liking the name. Just remember the final submission format.
- TooMuchSugar: I like it! It's short, but it fits very well.
- TheTraininator: Addlure, certainly. :P Just remember that 'adder' is the type of snake, not 'addler'; that's KoA's idea.
- Yveltal: ? The words aren't obvious as to their origins, which is key for my favor.
- Spork: Hmm, okay, but it's of Christian/Greek, not Mesoamerican mythology. o3o Not that it can't be used, but it's less fitting than other names that attempt the same idea.
- Midnight: I prefer Envallper, though it faces competition. :P
- Shadowartistic: Obvious, but it works.
- Unoriginal Name: Nedevyl is a bit too original, I think. :P The original words aren't too obvious, so it comes off as fantasy outside of Pokemon to me.
- Itsame: One reason it hadn't come up before is that Sceptile already exists. :/
- Dracoyoshi8: o3ob It works, though I don't favor your name over anyone else's because you're the designer of the snake. 'Lance' makes me think of, well, lances more than snakes.
- Don Honchkrorleone: Malucifer would work, but it's blatantly religious with one of its component words. Greek mythology with 'Eris' in Erisnake is less drastic. I've heard this tactic being used to gauge your name; how would you feel if you met a pokemon named 'Malucifer' while roaming around?
- srk1214: Corruptile sounds better than Applesnake and is less compound-y. :)
- Rodan: Eh, you're not taking this seriously. :P Put up a proper final submission if you are.
- GRs Cousin: Great!
- Jebus McAzn: I'm personally not fond of names that directly reference Christian concepts, since they can be offensive to certain people. If that were not the case, your name'd work.
- Woodchuck: It would be great with what you're saying, but I also see a distortion of 'crater' in the name. that aside, though, yeah, good job!
- RivRivRiv: Top contender in other people's books, though just slightly less so in mine.
- ShravanP: Okay. o3o
- RavensNation: I doubt people'd want the string 'Satan' directly in a pokemon's name. :| As mentioned with others, would you want to see the name of this pokemon when you encounter it? "Wild Satanicoil appeared!" I don't think so. :P
- Eagle4: Aw, Pythorn would've been nice. :) It has thorns and it could be a python. Envyper, of course, reminds me of Seviper.
- Hollymon: Yay! :D Thank you for using a name that's not overtly religious.
- Leethoof: o3ob
- Magistrum: o3ob
- Mos-Quitoxe: Final submission format! But otherwise, o3ob
- tyranitar1234: Make sure to tastefully use foreign words instead of plucking them out without a specific reason, and make sure that if you read the words without knowing their origins, you'll get their components.
- Golurkyourself: Ah, my thought coincided with yours on the topic of 'ninja'. 'Naja' and 'Nahash' are less obvious, but they work. All of it works. :)
- deathsnake951: o3ob
- Timeblaze: o3ob
