Soaring Surf

English for, nearly literally, a very tall (and potentially still rising) wave.

Pronounced: as expected, or the usual English pronunciation

Unironically funny name that could fit would be Roaring Moon, but here’s this instead! It’s in the vein of past paradox Pokemon such as Flutter Mane, Walking Wake, etc. I also think it conveys very well the idea of a very fast wall (of water).

Shogunawa-e

Portmanteau of the words "Shogunate", "Kanagawa" and "Tokugawa", and "ukiyo-e" and "meisho-e". Also, "wa-e" sounds similar to "wave".

Pronounced: "show-guhn-nuh-WU-eh"
IPA: /ʃoʊˈɡʌnəˌwɑeɪ/

Undarumare

Inverted "Mare Undarum", latin for "sea of waves"; also the name of a lunar mare.

Pronounced: un-da-ru-MA-ray


A lunar mare is a plain on the moon formed by lava flow. They were perceived as seas by early astronomers, hence their name meaning "moon sea".
 
Final Submission

Kabegawa

Kabe, Japanese for wall - based on concept and a tsunami being "a wall of water" - and Kanagawa, from "The Great Wave off Kanagawa.”

Pronounced: "kahh-bay-GAH-wuh"

I've always been a sucker for names ending in -wa.

A combination of the words Marina ("From the sea" in Latin) and Nanami ("Seven Seas" in Japanese), doubling for Nami ("Wave" in Japanese)

Pronounced: (ma-ri-na-na-me) at a quick speaking pace
 
Final Submission

Pixilake (Pixie + Lake)

Pronounced: Pik- si-lae-k

combination of pixie, since they are associated with start, and lake because it's a wave
