Fusilite (or fusillite) (few-sil-Ite)

Fusillade (a discharge from many firearms at once)
--ite (a common and appropriate sounding suffix for stone)
 
Not to be rud, but I dislike stratagem, it sounds to cheesy and Artificial

Id have to submit FRAGMENTO(fragment with an o)
and
STONEFRAG (stone and fragment). I used fragment because it looks made of fragments.
Note Im on my psp so I cant bold.

vesicalith
took the latin "blade" vesica (thanks headpunch) and the greek for rock "lithos" (thanks metalgarx)

Borudaken since pokemon originated in japan, i decided to add so japanese. this is a combination of the japnese words for Boulder and blade "Boruda" and "ken"

i had another one..but only two allowed..drat.

comments anybody? i thought long and hard for these. i even researched latin and japanese words -_-
 
I'm somewhat suprised no one has yet tried to make a name with the word "erosion" in it. It's one of the first things that came to mind when I saw rockmon.
I'll try to think up something...

oh the vicious irony.All of those names sound cheesy
 
I like simple names :D
Fualith
:)
Fua- (faux is french for scythe, I took off the x and switched the u and a)
-lith (is rock obviously :p)

Also, I like it because it kind of sounds like "Flawless"
 
Shionard

or

Shaard

I really like Shard in the pokemon name, I can't explain why but it seems to suit CAP5 very well. In the first name I amalgamated Ion and Shard, in the second I just elongated Shard.
 
I'm going to close this tomorrow, at around 3-5 PM EST. Get your submissions in by then.
 
Huh.

Minerode - Mineral + erode, or possibly geode. I was thinking 'Gabrode' originally, but I think gabbro is a little too obscure.
Bassault - Basalt + assault. I spent all this time trying to think of a clever way to combine the two words, yet somehow missed the most obvious option.

Erocksion? Actually, there was one on the second page - Erosickle.
 
I really like 'Minerode'. It's a classic example of a simple but clever portmanteau name that Pokemon is well known for. Easy to pronounce and remember without sounding too menacing or cerebral.

Also a fan of 'Volatite' for the reasons above. I like that it describes features of the Pokemon both physical and abstract.

I read Volation like fellation. It's probably too easy to mispronounce.
 
The two names

One should be Rubillade.
This name is combining the two main appearance characteristics of "Rockmon", i.e. Ruby, which symbolises rare and valuable rocks, and Blade, which is the nature of angular rock pieces.

Alternitively, the name Glowanite is an option.
This is based on what it actually does. For example, it might use "MIRROR SHOT" or "FLASH CANNON" to protect itself from danger (although it is not steel type), and that is where glow comes in. The last bit signifies granite, which is very sturdy.

I hope you all like my idea, or at least take a look at those two. Thank you.

Oi, thanks, that's what I was going for. I have a qualm with it, though - I think it sounds too general, like it could apply to any Pokémon of its type. Just two generic rock words spliced together, really. Then again, that seemed to work for Pyroak, so maybe it's not such a bad thing.

While I can still get away with it, I've decided to change my other entry to something a little more fitting; details have been edited into my previous post.

It's not like we'll get a another chance in the future to name a pure Rock-type. Minerode is admittedly generic, but it has a decent flow, and not much is really important otherwise to the voters, so I'd say it has...a small chance.

Although I've always personally felt that Mariguana was a superior name. We're Smogon! Who cares about that small degree of political correctness? It's not as if our mothers are coming here too, right?
