If I plan on keeping any Pokemon, they get a name. Shinies are definitely keepers.

I nickname most of the shinies I hatch on GPX+. Usually I give them random names, though sometines I'll name them after video game characters or songs.

I make it a thing to nickname my shinies. Even if the nicknames are awful, every shiny gets one. Though I try to go for puns.

Me too! I always give my shinies a name. Usually I name it based on events that relate to its birthday or any event around me that's in. XD

I nickname all my shinies and all of the pokemon I've determined to keep in general, actually.
I used to name every single pokemon I got on site, but as you can imagine, that stopped before too long LOL. As for a theme, the vast majority of my shinies have Homestuck names. -------------------- |

I do nickname my shinies. Usually, I either nickname my shinies something random on the spot, something related with what the Pokemon is based off of, or after a character from a video game or television or web series.

I always nickname my shinies. Usually after the predominant color. And I'll use foreign language words for colors as well.
Here's a list of all the shinies I have currently and what language their names derive from (if I remember, that is. ) Azul, male Yanmega: Spanish for blue Goldenrod, female Drifblim: English Violet, Cresselia: English Bleu, female Zangoose: French for blue Cerulean, Braviary: English Citrine, female Kricketune: English Xanthe, Klink: Greek for yellow/gold Cyan, female Corsola: English Indigo, male Zoroark: English Fuchsia, female Ariados: English Aquamarine, male Ludicolo: English Lila, female Lapras: French(?) for lilac Blau, male Zangoose: I... honestly don't remember what language, but it's supposed to be the word for blue. Lapis, female Reuniclus: English Aqua, male Feraligatr: English Cinnamon, male Vespiquen: English Whyte, male Winter Vulpix: corrupted English Lavender, male Kingdra: English Midori, male Serperior: Japanese Jaune, female Galvantula: French for yellow Saffron, female Girafarig: English Amethyst, female Gigalith: English Navy, female Carracosta: English Aura, female Mismagius: Latin for gold Ora, female Electivire: Spanish for gold, feminized. -------------------- I'm also known as Queen_Lugia on SPPf, and Queen-Articuno on dA, as well as a former aspiring trinketer on GPX+, a proud TheRunawayGuys fangirl, a proud participant of Extra Life, and proud supporter of TwitchPlaysPokemon.

Do any of you ever nickname your shinies? I always name mine because to me, naming them helps me feel like I have a closer connection to them. I name some of mine after deceased pets, and some I name whatever they remind me of. For example, I named my Furfrou and Mightyena George and Tula Belle, respectively. I also named my Meowstic Missy, because that's who she reminded me of. Then your Black Furfrou is so suave! -- YES. HECK YES. I name them after a gem of that color, or a gem relating to Steven Universe. For instance, come Octoberfest, I plan to rename my shiny Dusknoir Garnet because Garnet in Steven Universe is a fusion of a red gem and a blue gem, and Shiny Dusclopes go from red to blue upon evolving. I also have a shiny Mega Lucario named Topaz, a shiny Psyduck named Sapphire, a shiny Pumpkaboo named Amethyst Star (as in the Unicorn pony), and a shiny Skitty named Ruby (previously the unoriginal Bling). -------------------- This is funny.

I nickname most of my Pokemon, not just shinies. Sometimes I have names planned out already, sometimes I just call them whatever springs to mind first.
My nicknames tend to vary in origin, if you haven't guessed. (I mean, I named my shiny Duskull Bill Cipher, my fake Groudon Francis [if I remember correctly], and I'm planning to name my hopefully male shiny Misdreavus after an OC of mine-a stripey, color-changing demon dude named Icaruba.) -------------------- |

I nickname mostly my Shiny Pokemon instead of my normal ones. The Pokemon in my signatures have nicknames: Shiny Ruru (Shiny Gardevoir), Shiny Ryu (Shiny Gallade), Kid Goku (Shiny Lucario), Pollo Campero (Shiny Blaziken), and Pollo Jr. (Shiny Combusken).
It's better for me to nickname shiny Pokemon it seems worth it to name something that you completed from the shiny hunt. -------------------- |

While I give names to most of my pokémon, my shinies have a naming theme: WoW lore characters. Their description also has a paragraph on the character the pokémon is named after

I tend to have a theme for each box that I start on. My first box was named after typefaces, and right now I'm doing song titles.

I've never nicknamed a Pokemon in my life. On the games or here. I just can't think of anything cool enough to give them

Pretty much all of my Shinies are nicknamed in reference to something. You'll have to figure out the three in my sig by yourself.
Music: Spoiler (click to show ) Stuff that references other users, I think: Spoiler (click to show ) Random references, some of which are dank: Spoiler (click to show ) References to IRL friends: Spoiler (click to show ) Nicknames I chose because they sounded cool, or some other lame reason -- I'm hopefully gonna change all these at some point: Spoiler (click to show )

My Charizard is Kostbar (means precious, as I just snatched a random egg) and my Togetic is Dragonsbane for an obvious reason.

Shinies seem like a lot of effort, and I'll want to name mine because I think I'll feel closer to them, like you said. When I first started playing pokemon (Blue on the Gameboy, way back in the day) I named every single poke! I think I may reuse some of those names (at least the ones I can remember) for nostalgia. |
