Alright, moving right along!
So I basically decided that the top 10 names that weren't totally outlandish would get slated. Since names are majorly a flavor aspect of the CAP, I think names that aren't totally out there or basically a clone of another name should get a chance to shine in front of the community. This also works really well with an IRV vote setup, so yeah! I didn't want the slate to be too large, however, otherwise the winners are decided by too few votes to be very representative. Also remember that you had to have Final Submission in the post for it to be considered.
Lastly, some submissions I didn't include because I thought they were way too close to the following Pokemon:
Good luck!
Base Stats: 55 HP / 85 Atk / 80 Def / 20 SpA / 70 SpD / 40 Spe

This is an IRV poll, which means that you can vote for as many entries as you want to in order of preference. The top three from this poll will move onto the next stage. I've reiterated some rules for this vote below so that everyone knows exactly what's going on.Scratchet
Kittihawk
Hatchlet
Tinipaw
Welpie
Fisticub
Navahone
Apachick
Tomohican
Cataraxe
- Do not bold any text other than your votes.
The script we use to count the votes looks at bolded text, and ignores all other text. You can still write other non-bolded things in your post, but don't bold them or it will mess up your vote. - One vote per line.
Do not list multiple votes on one line. - You may vote for as many names as you want.
- Spell the name exactly as it is spelled above.
It is not case sensitive, but please remember that your vote will not count unless it is the name is spelled correctly.
Good luck!
Final Submission
Scratchet
Etymology: Scratch + Hatchet
Scratchet is a portmanteau of scratch, which is something that both sounds immature and PreCAP1 looks like it'd do a lot of, and hatchet, which keeps it totally in line with its evolution, Tomohawk. I really wanted to keep with the axe theme for the Pokemon to give it a tribal feeling, but I also really wanted a name that clearly indicated immaturity and a bit of scrappiness. I think that Scratchet really comes together to accomplish all of those things in one adorable package.
...and for those of you curious, the name stage is the only stage where the ATL can submit!
Final Submission
Kittihawk
In support of this name. Some background:
Aside from being Kitty+Hawk and following Tomohawk's naming scheme, Kittihawk also has some history behind it. Kitty Hawk, North Carolina was where the Wright brothers first took flight. This fits perfectly with the concept of a grounded pokemon learning to fly, and even if the reference is lost to some, the name still fits.
I thought of this a while ago but didn't want to post it after I saw how many closely sounding "Hatchet" names there are, but what the hey.
Final Submission
Hatchlet
It's very simply hatchling + hatchet. Hatchling is because it's recently hatched (and egg-shaped to boot), while a hatchet is a small axe. By the way, hatchet is from the French word "hachette" which literally means "small axe" (hache = axe) and that's terribly cute!
Tinipaw
Tini (teenee) + Paw, because its small and has paws, awww :D
Welpie
Simply the African term for cub, and it has a cute aura to it, so why not?
Final Submission
Fisticub
(fisticuffs + cub)
Pretty self-explanatory, really. It's a cub and it fights.
EDIT: 500th post! I would like to thank someone for this, but it's really my own doing, so...here's to 500+ more!
Navahone
Final Submission
Apachick
(Apache+Chick), also invokes the 'hatchet' thing.
Rocking the hatchlet but as a late Final Submission:
Tomohican
Because it has a cool hairdo, it fits with evo and native American theme, etc.
Loving Hatchlet as well.
Here's our pre-evo so far:Final Submission:
Cataraxe
(Cat) + Cataract + Axe
A Cataract is a loss of transparency in the eye, though it can also be a place where there is a large, steep waterfall. Cataraxe position themselves above their prey and strike down with great force, pouncing on them like a cat. Scrappy little things.
Let's just say this name didn't have much vision, since I just thought of it. (Then again I thought Tomohawk was myopic so...)

Supporting Material
Side-on pose showing spots and egg shaped body.
This Tomohawk prevo concept is a little cub with a protective fluffy egg body. The ruffles around its face show the beginnings of the feather-like fur that Tomohawk uses for flight after it evolves. Its wide, flat, oversized arms hint at wings. Tomohawk's purple markings are foreshadowed in the purple spots on cub-hawk's egg body.
