Maybe because those are real human names?

Indeed.

Well, Robin Williams named his daughter Zelda, and sounds good. But there are very few Pokémon names suitable for a human name.

Zelda was a real name before Legend of Zelda despite what the intention in naming was.

LOL His name was intentionally given that way. Besides, a lot of japanese manga characters have puns as their names.


Anyway, I wouldn't really consider naming my kid after a pokemon even if I'm a maniac.

However, names like Roselia, Aron, Kirlia, or Phione sounds pretty real to me.

Sure! Like, "Dr. Ekans, please report to room 228." OK, maybe not.

Actually, no. I remember from around second grade kids used to make fun of a kid's name. And his name was GIO. If kids will make fun of Gio, they'll make fun of Darumaka.

I'd name my daughter Muk.

But seriously, that's a terrible idea.

Lol, maybe Roselia, because it might make a good name for a girl. Oh and if I have a boy, damn right I'm calling him Mr. Mewtwo.

NO!
Some Pokemon characters, maybe, but naming a kid after a Pokemon would just be cruel.

The chances of me having a child are slim to none. But on the off chance that I do have one, Pokemon would not be one of the inspirations for coming up with a name for that child.

"Aron" is a real name.

But no, I would not name a child after a Pokémon, for reasons that have already been said.

I would never do that, I wouldn't want to be responsible for a child having to be teased in school for having a weird name. No Pokemon names would sound good at all for a real name. Imagine naming a child... well any Pokemon names. pure embarrassment for life. I would name my child after a Harry Potter character, but I wouldn't make it a weird one like "Draco" or anything, just normal sounding names. Pokemon would be pushing it.

Only Aron and Roselia sounds realistic to me. Others are laughable.
Just spare your child from embarrassment. Eevee sounds kind of okay too.

I can't wait to bring little Politoed Swampert into the world!

Oh god. Leave those names to pets. Wouldn't it be cool to have a cat named Gyarados?

I once heard of a cat named "Charmander." See, it's cute for a cat, but please leave the kids out of it.

Can't we all just agree that this is a very bad idea?
