Thread: Would you name your kid after a Pokemon?

I changed idea. I'll not name my kids after Pokemon, but after members of Organization XIII or something, Ill'also change my name, and the winner of my Heir Contest s' name.

Actually, Altaria isn't too bad of a name for something that's not-a-Pokemon.

I'd consider that. Definitely a middle name if anything.

Only names that are based on actual words/real names are acceptable.
Ex: Altaria is just a feminized version of Altair, a constellation. It's also the name of a band, a transport system, etc.
Roselia, Kirlia, Deino...they're ok.

Naming your kid Mewtwo or Zoroark? No.

Meloetta and Altaria sounds nice... Other than that, not really. Even though I love Victini, I sure ain't naming a kid Victini XD

Anyone who chooses a name that's obviously a Pokemon to name their child worries me and probably shouldn't be allowed to have children tbh.

simple answer NO

The Kids would just get embarraseed and bullied at School like

"look it Turtwig,hahahahaha" and "Mr.Turtwig would you please meet at my office NOW!!!!"

it would sound weird and what if my children would try to be President?

"so the candidats for the President possesion is Mr.Obama, Miss.Clinton and.... Mr.Turtwig???

it would be embarrasing to be named after a pokemon.....

Heck no.

They'd be ridiculed so much it would be like torture.

No.
I mean seriously who would name their kid after a pokemon? I mean naming your child from a video game character is showing that your not taking anything seriously with raising a child.
I mean it depends....
If your naming your child after a anime character I wouldn't care but I a otaku and that's just how things go XD
But naming your kid Naruto is a big no-no!

Thinking about this in a completely logical way, (because as a fangirl it would be my dream to be named Pachirisu ) if it sounds like a human name than yes. Eevee, Kirlia, Roselia, Shaymin, Deino, the rest...perfectly logical names.

If I met someone named after a weird Pokemon, say...Exeggutor (random), there would be this reaction: slightly insulting giggling, then feeling guilty, then giving the guy (I hope) a high-five for an awesome name. I'd applaud such names. I hope people wouldn't be immature enough to bully someone for having a Pokemon name. Sure, a lot of laughing, but a name shouldn't be a significant enough reason to hate on someone too harsh...right?

To the list of names I contribute: Kakuna, Paras (agreed with previous person), Abra (seems fairly possible), Chansey (agreed), Starmie, Jynx, Mew, Ledian (agreed), Marill (I think I've seen this before...), Blissey, Linoone, Starly, Staravia, Burmy (I had a knitting teacher named Mrs. Burmy), & Archen. Plus all the others mentioned before. Plus a whole other list for ALTERED Pokemon names. And Japanese ones.

Wow, long post, lol.

Sure. Some of the names actually work like Kirlia, Altaria, Natu, Xatu, and Roselia. I think one of my classmates back in elementary school is actually named Xatu.

I might name my child Ledyba or Ledian. Those names sound unique yet not too over the top to me.

Theres a girl in my neighborhood named EV no literally its spelt like that so i guess thats normal but i would give my kids human names imagine the torment IN HIGH SCHOOL they'll suffer

Of course I would. It would have to be something subtle though... Like Politoed.

No. I wouldn't do this to my child. There are plenty of normal names to choose from, so there's no need for me to name my child after something that they could get made fun of for.

I would give my child a powerful name, to reflect its greatness. So I'd name them after a pseudo-legendary, like Metagross or Tyranitar. Or something cute, like Girafarig.

I'm assuming that I really hate my child enough to name it Metagross.

Absolutely not, but I'm sure when he/she is a teenager I will take to calling him/her 'Leech Seed'.
