What are some Pokémon you have accidentally named the wrong thing? Or just plain goofy names you have given Pokémon?

I recently just caught an Ursaring while half awake and in my attempt to name him Luke I ended up naming him Luck thinking it was how you spelled Luke. I then realized right after that wasn’t right, which was not good luck at all. :P Thank goodness for name rater!

I try to give nicknames to all my Pokémon that I play through the games with, or train for teams. Usually they're weird song references or something like that, but sometimes they're just names like Tammi. :P

A personal favorite of mine:
"Tyrone" the Bouffalant

Through my recent run of Pokemon Platinum I nicknamed all of my Pokemon. I just name mine whatever seems relevant or if it is a Pokemon that i catch a lot of for example, Woopers, I will just give them regular people names like Billy or John. Really my only name mistake in my most recent run was I caught a Tropius and named it BananaMan. It wasn't until after I had beaten the Elite Four when I realized that BananaMan was actually a BananaWoman. That is probably the biggest nickname mistake I have made besides back when I was younger I used to nickname my Pokemon what their evolved forms would be and I nicknamed a Venonat I caught "Butterfree" because I forgot that Venonat isn't the one who evolved into Butterfree (even though it makes so much sense.)


Good morning! And in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!
