Not open for further replies.
Strikendo (strickendo alredy mentionned)

Stompatch (Thumpatch already mentionned)

Yes i know they are really close to mentionned names but i think those sound better.

Also,

-Sacrifierce (Scarifice+Fierce)

-Umblam, Umbang, UmBlingBlangBlong (Umbr+ Onomatopoeia)

-Voodim (Voodoo+Dim)

-Tenebrawl (Tenebrous+Brawl) *I like this one a lot

-Bravoid (Brave+Void)

-Darkapow! (Wow this one i felt really inspired)

So if any of these sound appealing let me know and it'll be my final submission.
 
Fistcraft

Sorta like witchcraft (which is what voodoo dolls are used for), but Fist instead..I feel like this explanation shouldn't have been necessary but yea, there it is.
 
Final Submission:

Vuduke (voo-DOO-kay)

Not gonna get any better, so it works. From a corruption of voodoo ('vudu') and....originally it was kurai, Japanese for 'dark', but I substituted the u for an e to make it sound like an African kind of name, and seeing as Africa is where voodoo originates....yeah. Could also be taken as vudu + obake, obake being a class of Japanese demon: "These words are often translated as ghost, but primarily they refer to living things or supernatural beings who have taken on a temporary transformation"....maybe that fits a vengeful voodoo doll? I don't know. But I'm throwing it out there anyway. EDIT: It also has 'duke', as in 'put up your dukes'....as in Fighting-type? I should probably stop finding things after I make the name and then try to use them as explanation....
 
In keeping with tradition, how about Pindick?

...

On a more serious note, I suggest Slaypuft. This is a reference to the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters, which looks quite like CAP11.
 
Hey, just so you guys know, you don't have to put together a bunch of words with a negative connotation in conjunction with something that has to do with the Pokemon to make a name. Most of them look stupid anyway. (Fight + Doll = Fightdoll!!!) There are some Pokemon whose names have nothing to do with anything but just sound cool/fit (Absol, Azelf, Dialga, Gorebyss).

If you can just look at the sprite and try to turn whatever it makes you think of into something coherent, I guarantee you'll come up with something five times better than crap you're putting out now.
 
Claydoll is a clay doll but still, creative names are better than the cliche combos we are receiving now. Try using Japanese or Latin. Two syllable is not the ultimate standard. Think like GameFreak. JK that's impossible, but don't go with something like Graypatch.
 
Throwing Vooshu out there. Combination of voodoo and wushu, a martial art that hasn't been mentioned yet.

Also, DolJustDol FTW.

EDIT: Eh, why not?

Final Submission

Vooshu

See above.

Presumably, Dialga is from diamond, Azelf is from elf (uxie pixie, mesprit sprite), and maybe azure or just a sound. From bulbapedia: Gorebyss's name is a combination of gore, to stab, and abyss; byss could also be referring to the byssal threads mussels use to attach themselves to rocks. Its name could also possibly be a play on gorgeous. Gorebyss's descriptions seem to confirm this view.
These are just possibilities, but I'm just pointing out that your examples arent really true. Most Pokemon names are at least loosely connected to something. You're right though in that they don't have to be overtly conjunction words.
 
Final Submission
Morblythe
Morbid + Blythe (pronounced More-blith). Morbid is obvious because of the typing and rather dark backstory. Blythe is a type of doll; doesn't look like a voodoo doll, but has these giant, creepy eyes and I thought it'd be a cool word to use for 'doll'. Also, blythe is derived from blithe, which means happiness. I think it's pretty ironic, because happiness is obviously the opposite of the feeling of the this CAP, and sort of is like the transition from innocent doll to an evil doll out for revenge. AND, Togekiss happens to be the Jubilee pokemon (a happy celebratioh, Togetic is the Happiness pokemon), so it has a connection to Togekiss.
 
Final Submission

Necrostryd

Necro means death (which fits the part dark type, respectively)
Stryd is the Afrikaans word for fight (I don't think I have to explain that one too much)

That's actually very cool, imo. Very creative and gives both the Dark-typing and the concept (a doll) some blended life. It's nice to see something without Voo or doo in it ;)

While I do agree that for CAP's names that simply put two words together are a little stupid (including my non-recognized attempt). However, just remember that there were a LOT of 1st gen Pokemon names that did exactly that. Seriously, Squirtle, Charmander, Bulbasaur? Those are pretty much what some people are doing here. Of course, some of the results are ridiculous.

And example would be: "Oh, it should be Darktakai because Dark is obviously dark which is perfect for the dark type and takai comes from the Japanese tatakai which means fight totally fits this mirite?"

While this isn't as horrible as the responses given, you'll probably see my point.

And Voodoom is one of those names that sounds simple, but it's worthy. Like a 1st gen Pokemon. ;)
 
Final Submission

Exorschism

Well, this is the best I can come up with. Doesn't quite fit as well as I'd like, but I like the way it sounds.
 
Just cause I wanna get back into CaP, eh?

PErsonally I really like Voodoom as proposed and Darknit (If only for the play on words lol), but for shits and giggles I guess I'll throw a few in too.

Scraps: More of a silly and simple name. Scraps not only refers to beaten and battered look, but also when one fights, they "scrap". lol

Punchure:Simple combination of punch and puncture. Simple name that fits well.

Voostiju: Obligatory Voodoo reference. But this one also pokes more attention to the stichy doll itself. Remedial I know, but the hard part is getting a spelling that looks not painful to the eye. Try pronouncing the word out loud and you should be able to pronounce it as voo-sti-chu. harhar

So those are my three. Since scraps isn't likely to garner much support, ill just decide between the latter names.
 
If you're going to say that your name is a combo of two or more words, make sure that all of the words can be spotted at a glance. Needless, for example, is supposedly a combo of "needle" and "needless" ... except it isn't because the word "needle" is completely absorbed by the word "needless". It's the same with Cryptic (the correct spelling of "cryptic" is not "criptic"). Likewise, Condark is just a combo of "con" and "dark" - the word "combat" isn't there despite what the submitter said.
