Name curiosity

[ZamuelNow]

It's possible that the answer is super obvious but what in the world is Toola Roola's name supposed to mean?

that tools rule   The pony is master of brushes

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought it was an adaptation of an Irish phrase which I've seen more often spelled like Toora loora that I think means something like Goodbye (sort of like Tootle-oo).

I like both of the descriptions above , either one would be nice for a pony name

i always just assumed it was a silly, made up, non-sensical fun sounding pony name

Herm. I thought it was just fun-sounding. And maybe in some song lyrics? [Quick google check] Wow, it's hard to get any search results that aren't just about the pony, but I think this is the song I'm thinking about- it's the chorus from "An Irish Lullaby", same one 3377345 linked to:

"Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby."

A little creative license on the name, Toola Roola instead of Toora Loora.

I think the Irish lullaby explanation makes the most sense, especially since she originally had a triskele as a symbol (a popular motif in Celtic artwork).

I have always known the lullaby and thought the name was a spin on that. But without association between the lullaby and the pony - just that its a whimsical name which seems to be ponyish
