Naming!

[cheyinka]

So I was curious about how other people name their Pokémon. I've had little luck getting anything nicknamed off the GTS or Wonder Trade, even with asking for a nickname in the message box in X. On the other hand, I see people elsewhere giving their Pokémon really clever names, while I end up usually having a clever name for my starter and then just going with boring things like "Grassasaurus" for Bulbasaur or "Fairy-Gem ♦" for my Carbink.

What do the rest of you do? :)

(the Bellsprout I carry in my Pokéwalker is named Leafy Belle; I can't decide if that's clever or boring.)

I often have a theme I set at the beginning of the game and all my pokemon end up named with that theme. Sometimes it's fandom related (HeartGold was Avatar:TLA characters), sometimes it's location based (Unova got AMERICAN names like Freedom and Washington) and I often default to mythology if anything else. XY is one I'm going with European Mythology themes for.
