actually.. Aggron came from the word Argon, the metal...
Argon isnt a metal, it's a gas. Look it up on the Periodic Table, it's element number 18. So why on earth would they name a pokemon like Aggron after a gas... my guess is they wouldnt, I would say it's wrong.

Search a Pokemon in wikipedia. 90% of the time you can find where it got its name. For example, Girafarig is a palindrome, (spelled same front to back) because it looks the same front to back. (you know, 2 heads.... one normal, one psychic, so normal/psychic type....)

That's really cool I never knew that! :D

Let's see here,
Moltres was already covered with Molten + Tres, but there is also Zap + Dos and Arctic + Uno, thus uno, dos, tres. Also, a not-so-well-known one is that the name Deoxys is actually derived from DNA, which really stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid.
Also, Sudowoodo is derived from Psuedo, which means fake, and wood + o to make it sound...gooder. I could list tons of names because I made it a point to figure out almost every single one, so if you have any questions for some, just ask.
