Didn't see a thread like this, so here's a few of my guesses:

Hyouta = Cliff
Appropriate name for the Rock theme that isn't already taken.

Natane (Grass-type Gym Leader) = Blossom
Obvious reasons. And there used to be a TV show called Blossom, I think, with the titular character being a teenage girl.

Pachirisu = Squirrent
squirrel + current (as in an electric current)

Pochama = Rainguin
Saw someone else use this name for it and I like it. Rain + penguin obviously.

[qote]Pachirisu = Squirrent
squirrel + current (as in an electric current)[/quote]

Seeing as how none of the pikas have had their name changed, I'll be very surprised if Pachirisu doesn't just have its name romanized as Pachirese and leave it at that.
 
Shirona will likely be Sharon or Sharona, I'm almost certain (as are most people)

Adam is a good name for Akagi, but I don't know...it seems just a little on the dull end, though.

I hope Crescelia keeps that name.

Merissa will probably keep her romanized name "Melissa." I can't see the Nacho Libre gym leader staying named Maxi, though, because we've already had a Maxie (pronounced the same way)

For Dianose I'll guess "Trinose," since it has three 'small noses' on the West, East and South points of its body.

I hope Hikairi breaks tradition of "M" and becomes "Kairi". Or something that's similar to her original name. But nothing like . . Angel. Ew wtf. Can't believe I even though of that.
 
My list:

Lefia: Leafeon (or possibly Foleon since Leafeon isn't that original)
Glacia: Glaceon
Dianozu: Nosestache
Mitsuhoney: Beehoney
Beequeen: Beequeen
Sukapuu: Skunpu
Sukutanku: Skuntank
Minomucchi: Pinecoat
Aruseus: Aruzeus
Elekiburu: Elecabull
Jibacoil: Magnufo
Giratina: Guillatina
 
Glacia = Shiveon
Coming from "shiver" of course.

There is no "tradition". Misty was just a randomly named Gym Leader having to do with water. May was just a name chosen with no particular pattern in mind.

How does that hint at tradition? That's something I don't get when people say that.
 
Yeah, May and Misty's names were chosen by people who had nothing to do with the anime production teams. It was total coincidence.
 
Third time posting these :p
You didn't look good enough, Geodude.

Hikari: Mina
Kouki: Claude
Jun: Jason
Hyouta: Tremain
 
Didn't see a thread like this, so here's a few of my guesses:
Well, there is one in Video Games.....
I say Makishi should be Marcus.
And whatever name Hyouta has, Tougan's must be similar, to emphasize the connection.
Sumomo-Beatrice
Suzuna-Colette
Goyou-Preston
Hikari-Madison
All I got in terms of human names.
And Habunake's list continues to awe me with its purposeful badness.
Zepplurk is about the only decent name among them.
 
I'm guessing Sumomo will become Plum (a la Chobits).

I hope Naetle stays the same - it's very similar to Nettle
 
And I'm still saying we'll get Boolloon as one of the ghost balloon names.
