I think it's incredibly forgiving to use Wysteria, Sunny Daze, and Amberlocks as the G3 examples. When I think of G3 I think of "Adjective + Alliterative-Noun" names.Cute CurtseySweet SparkleMorning MonarchZippy Zinniaetc.Of course there were exceptions, some of which were good (Rarity, Shenanigans) and some of which were bad (Blushie, Romperooni, Orange Flower). But overall I would say names like Wysteria were atypical. To me G3 was the start of the Bad Names and they basically never ended after that.I think a big cause of that is Hasbro started trying hard to use names that were easy to trademark. Someone else might use the name Zinnia, but they are unlikely to use ZIPPY Zinnia.
G1 also gave us a new born named Big Top and her twin Toppy. There are plenty of really dumb names in all the generations.
The G4 name that always gets me is Steven Magnet. It makes no sense in a world full of magical creatures. Ponyfan
