What about a delta version of Gardevoir and Gallade, using Holon's Castform and Eggs Jr./Sr? I cannot think of a good name!
 
Wow, if everybody likes to name they're super-duper deck something stupidly long and un-catchy, be my guest.

But look at old names and how nice they sound,

ZRE
Dragtrode
Metanite
LBS
Mercury
Bandoom
MSN
Destiny
Ambush

Please, keep it simple. Or atleast one word/abbreviation.
 
I'm still trying to decide between "A-Team" and "I Pity The Foo" for my Absol/Ambipom deck.

That's the biggest problem with deck names IMO. Everyone (including your opponent) knows what's in there, thus no element of surprise. Magsol is pretty obvious as you said, but "Burn Away" or even "Baleful Flame" isn't as obvious, sounds more dramatic and just plain shows more creativity.

Most people have the problem of putting more creativity in deck naming than in deck construction.

Calling your unoriginal deck a creative name does nothing for it. It just looks desperate.

you forgot RockLock =/
 
Note: If a deck is going to be a secret, then don't post anything about it.
Doesn't matter if you're elite or not, deck names with no info are not welcome on the Gym.
That does not serve the community.
 
I really like the name Happy Cat for Blissey/Delcatty. It's simple, rolls of the tongue, and is still one of the best decks in the format.
 
the best way to name decks is this, and this has never failed me.

magmortar/typhlosion/delcatty = magmortar
magmortar/absol = magmortar
gallade/gardy/absol = gallade/absol
gallade/gardy/other = gallade
gardy/gallade/whatever = gallade
blissey/anything = blissey
honchkrow/absol = honchkrow
empoleon/anything = empoleon
ape/anything = ape
banette/anything = banette
electivire/whatever = electivire
anything else = jank

names like "speedban" and "g and g" and like EVERY OTHER NAME OF A DECK are ridiculous. there's no need for secrets at a tournament and if someone told me they were playing "Baleful Flame" i'd tell them to go ahead and sign the slip because there's no way i'm losing to THAT.

But where's the fun in that?
 
I'd bet that 80% of Pokemon players who name a deck Baleful Flame write fan fiction or cosplay or something

Just saying.
 
For my Gardy Deck, i would like to call it "Plox"
It stands for Psychic LOCK.... Gardevoir's Main attack. It is also gamer/internet lingo for "Please"... It's by far the best name for Gardy.

PLOX, BDIF
