What is the Silliest pony name ever?

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Pick-a-lily's kinda silly.

Spoiled Rich is just. No.

Barber Groomsby is just Bleck.

Silly Lily has silly in it.

Pinto Pipsqueak-Like, you couldn't just call him Pipsqueak?

Bubble Muffins-What is a bubble muffin precisely?

Any character who has different names in the same era. I'm not talking Twilight and Twilight. Or a pony who was called something else in a different country. I mean like, DJ Pon-E also being called Vinyl Scratch or something stupid like that. Name the darn horse and stick with that name Hasbro.

Pipsqueak is too generic a word to be a trademarkable name on its own.

Bubble Muffins... That's silly, but it's preferable to her brony-given name. More acceptable to use.

As for the DJ Pon-3/Vinyl Scratch thing.. That's just a case of stage name vs. actual name, and Hasbro alternating which they slap on merch of her because they want to keep both as trademarks.

It gets confusing.    Is G3 Cherry Blossom the same as G3 Chereliee? The Bon Bon/Sweetie Drops name change never really made sense to me since she was referred to as Bon Bon in the show.

Yes and no. Yes because Cherry Blossom was later renamed Cheerilee due to what I recall was a translation issue with Cherry Blossom. The original Cheerilee isn't even the same colors, or the same type of pony. For silly names, what about Toboggan? What does that have to do with winter?

Point one: Generic has never stopped Hasbro before. Bumblebee, Firefly, Duke, Blinky,  Riot.

Point 2: Good point.

Point 3: She's not the only pony they do this with. Its rather annoying.

Because you sled in winter.

Does Toboggan mean sled?

Yes. It's a type of sled.

Pony Bride has one of the worst names. It screams, "I have no identity. I'm just a permanent bride."

Mommy and Baby count.

I'm surprised no ones mentioned Loligiggle. It's not even a good play on words.

Ooh. I forgot about her. G3 had some very weird names.

[Khoufu]

Cranky Doodle - it's a reference to something not in the mlp universe  (Yankee Doodle)

Fluttershy - what does that mean? Afraid to fly in any capacity?

First Base - that's just called kissing.

And so many g3s. So many.

We've always had a mismatch between show names and toy names (most especially here with US names and UK ones in the animation, but even within the US there's Lilac and whatever the boy pony's name is that's not correct to release. I imagine they're prototype names that they later don't get licences for.

For me the pony's name is what is on the package that appears in stores here. If they're not released then their name is pretty irrelevant to me as I don't watch FIM. So I consider Sweetie Drops her official release name.

But it's a really stupid name.

Cheerilee is also a stupid name. Cherry Blossom was much nicer.

I didn't see anyone mention Lickety Split yet...

[PoserBeachball]

I didn't see anyone mention Lickety Split yet...

I knew a real-life pony called Lickety Split because he trotted fast everywhere - so I don't mind the name for the pony as she's in the trotting pose and looks if she's on her way somewhere fast (at a 'lickety split')

Shampoo 
I know her symbol is a bottle so maybe it makes sense but it is a too weird name for me
