So Little Known Fact:
Lapras's original name in Japanese was Laplace.
Which is French for "A place to sit." So... yeah... basically.... Lapras is just named Chair. The Chair Pokemon.
"Hey guys! Let's go out and catch a Chair!"
"Yay! My Chair has reached level 25!"

Wait one moment, there was a French scholar named Laplace.
One of the most influential scientists of all time, renown as the 'Isaac Newton of France', main developer of the acclaimed Bayesian interpretation of probability, one of the first to consider the existence of black holes, invented the Laplacian differential operator which is widely used in calculus to this day, invented the Laplace transform which is widely used in mathematical physics to this day, came up with the Laplace equation which is widely used to define the very concept of a harmonic physical system to this day...
...and he's named Chair?
The Chairian differential operator?
The Chair transform?
The Chair equation?

@Duality Well, if it's any assaugement of befrazzledness, there is the distinct possibility that he came first. That the French named chairs in his honor!
...And surely I have not completely done no research in translation at all on my part & am only going off what I've been told from Youtubers, which has since become a cemented, accepted fact in my own head to the point where I refuse to do the entomological legwork myself!
Besides! You saying chairs are pleasingly scientific? All that...*bleh* Symmetry?
(Thank me, that the word itself isn't also symmetrical...)
...Mew?
...The pokemon?
Well, you've lost me!
