Ocean names for pets.. or pokemon?
Listing ones I've thought to use for my pet bc I have too many names in my brain. Ofc u have things like- Ray, Shark, Jelly, Mako, Koi, dumbo, but some other fun ones mainly based on scientific names! Ofc Personally I like to pronounce things incorrect on purpose too, so messing with the way it's said is a fun way to experiment :)
