Same! Then again, "Pidgeotite" sounds horribly awkward. Say it out loud. It's weird. xD And "Steelixite" is so unnatural to say as well. Just all of them sound bad. They should have figured out a far less awkward naming system... xD

I think if they had JUST taken the front part of a name and then chucked "ite" on, it would be better. Like purposely only put a few letters, rather than trying to use the entire name + "ite." Like Houndite. Or Steelite. Or Heracrite. Or Pidgite. Even if "houndite" could mean Houndoom, OBVIOUSLY it's not, and same with the other "Pidg-"s in the family.
