Hiraishin
If you ignore the glaringly obvious problem that comes with giving a Pokémon a Japanese/anime-oriented nickname (overdone, and all that) Hiraishin means 'Flying Thunder God', which is fitting, to say the least. Also - and oh no, I'm talking about Anime! - the guy that used the Hiraishin in Naruto slaughtered hundreds of enemies in the span of a few seconds, so there's that.

Skyfall
It might look like a reference to the newest Bond movie on the first glance, but the point of the name is, that with HP Ice and STAB Thunderbolt, Zapdos makes every flying-type fall off the sky, hence the name Skyfall.

When I think of Zapdos I think of lightning. In the middle ages people didn't understand electricity but they knew that when lightning struck the ground it caused fires, and therefor assummed it was fire from heaven.

Decent, though predictable. Unfortunately, most thunder gods are well-known, and common nicknames are bad news. Consider Taranis, for a Celtic vibe.

Lightwing
Well, I was thinking of a name when I caught this thing, and I figured in my mind that, obviously, when you think of an electric type, an URORIGIONAL name is Lightning. However, you can make a slight play on words there to change it into Lightwing. Not only does this reference to Zapdos' speed, it also includes both his types; a play on lightning,and the word wing (flying). The light part also works because the black bits look like shadows behind where the light is hitting.
