I'm influencing my husband's Pokemon nickname choices

My husband does shiny hunting (searching for rare, alternate coloured “shiny” Pokemon through various methods) and always nicknames his shinies. I give him name suggestions, and he tends to use them.
Some recent examples (if you don’t know what the Pokemon looks like, you can look it up):

Perdita (Pumpkaboo)
Phrixus (Phantump)
Charles (Charizard)
Hannelore (Hatterene)
Raphael (Galarian Ponyta)

I’ll pick a pokemon from each gen and I’ll give it a nickname

I would nickname a Seaking: Pisces
[name_u]Reason[/name_u]: Pisces is symbolized by fish

I would nickname a Houndoom: [name_f]Bonita[/name_f]
[name_u]Reason[/name_u]: BONE + [name_f]Bonita[/name_f]

I would nickname an Exploud: Bansheena
[name_u]Reason[/name_u]: Banshee + [name_f]Sheena[/name_f]

I would nickname a Toxicroak: [name_m]Dart[/name_m]
[name_u]Reason[/name_u]: Poison DART Frog

I would nickname a Mienshao: [name_f]Maurine[/name_f]
[name_u]Reason[/name_u]: Not much besides a lot of the same letters

I would nickname a Meowstic: [name_u]Beau[/name_u]
[name_u]Reason[/name_u]: Not much just cute

I would nickname a Lurantis: Sparmint
[name_u]Reason[/name_u]: Sparring + [name_f]Mint[/name_f]
