"Real" Names for Paradox Pokémon?

Iron Treads = Sphaneer (from "sphere"+"Donphan"+"veneer", for its shiny metallic look)
Iron Bundle = Parcyberd (from "parcel"+"cyber"+"bird")
Iron Hands = Sumanus (from "sumo"+"manus", Latin for hand. Also sounds kind of like "pseudo man", referencing its humanoid shape and the Occulture theory about it being a cybernetically reconstructed athlete)
Iron Jugulis = Wyvier (from "wyvern"+"vier", German for four. I headcanon that the future Hydreigon line counts down six-five-four in German with its names the same way the original line counts up one-two-three in German with its names. Don't have names for future Deino and Zweilous yet, though.)
Iron Moth = Corovirule (from "corona"+"virulent"+"virus"+"rule")
Iron Thorns = Generaytar (from "generator"+"ray"+"Tyranitar")
Iron Valiant = Gardevade (from just "Gardevoir"+"Gallade", but also contains "evade", referencing how it's the rarest future Paradox spawn.)
Iron Leaves = Virizitron (from "Virizion" and the robot-ey suffix "tron")
Iron Crown = Cobalitron (from "Cobalion" and the robot-ey suffix "tron". I liked the portmanteau, so I just ran with it for the whole trio, hehe...)
