:The middle stages of the Kalos starters appear to be pretty heavily based on the generic fantasy game power trio of fighter, mage, and thief. Paladins are usually a subset or offshoot of fighters, so it's not as unlikely as you seem to think.

::Except that logic would make ''frogadier'' the fighter, because that's pretty clearly from brigadier, leaving Quilladin either mage or thief, in which case I might suggest "Aladdin"? I'm with Goukazaru on Paladin seeming unlikely, since what we know of Quilladin doesn't sound very "fighter"-y. Since I see the chespin line as being the thief/rogue in this scenario, ''especially'' since there is a suggestion that part of the origin on Chespin's name is *urchin*, and the happy-go-lucky street urchin doesn't seem the type to evolve into a paladin. EDIT: Just saw the species name on Quilladin, so, yeah, I can see where the "armored" thing is coming from.

:::(Edit conflict:) It's possible, but knights are more likely to wear noticeable armor (Quilladin's species name) than thieves/rogues. I don't have any theories about why Frogadier's name comes from brigadier, but if you ignore that, design-wise it's pretty clearly based on the slim, sneaky, speedy thief/rogue D&D archetype (perhaps even with a hint of ninja added, too), at least in my mind. Part of the problem is that both Quilladin and Frogadier have some traits of both fighters and thieves (which is, in turn, at least partly because the two classes themselves are inherently less well-distinguished from each other than from mages).
