If you could rename a pony...

[Leave a Whisper]

I'd name every Snookums something else. Its just an awful name period.

I'd switch Autumn Crisp and Pumpkin Tart's names.

I'd give Ribbs a different name. What was wrong with Draco, or Flamethrower? Ribbs makes absolutely no sense what-so-ever. I like to joke that barbecuing is his true passion.

Green Apple should have either been green or been named Pink Lady.

Pink Sunsparkle should have just left off the pink.

 Tink-a-tink-a-too should have just been called Tink.

Lots of G2 names are nonsensical and feel hastily slapped on. Glittery Study, Springly, Junior etc.

I hate it when ponies within a generation have duplicate names! The UK had the right idea by giving some of them original names, so I'd want those to be used worldwide in those cases.

Other names that would warrant changing:
Sundazzle and Princess Sunbeam
SS Twilight-Candlelight would be a pretty name
TAF Yum Yum
Tropical and Baby Seabreeze
Prom Queen Cha Cha
DNW Cuddles and Snookums
SHS Twinkler
MGR Sparkler
Winger Sky Dancer
Baby Sweet Stuff
TAF Fifi and Buttons
Any baby sea pony that looks nothing like the adult they share a name with
Although TE Sky Rocket was the original, I think the name works better with the Sparkle version, so I'd change her name.


Unrelated, but
I get Brilliant Blossoms and Brilliant Bloom mixed up all the time. One of them needs a more unique (and less long) name

Also 1987 Hasbro, let's go back to the drawing board with every year 6 newborn twins (except for Sandcastle and Shovels. Those are fine). You can do better than "Sticky and Sniffles" or "Puddles and Peeks".

Puddles and Peeks fits just fine with the bird poop twins.

I also love the pony Finger Paints, but to me she is "Pretty Palette."

Makes sense to me. The shame of being named Finger Paints when neither you nor your friends have fingers...

Somewhere in this thread someone mentioned Heart Throb, and I agree... Even as a child, when I didn't even know what the name meant, I thought her name sounded gross, I don't know why.

Also, many of the "suggestive" names went right over my head as a child, and most of them still do since I was born and raised in The Netherlands, so I'm not familiar with most (slang) words like that. Though to be honest I think most of these names fly right over a child's head, when I was a child I never picked up anything at all. But then again, maybe I was just an extremely naive child.
For example, as a child I listened a lot to Boudewijn de Groot (Dutch singer), and one song mentions a "book/magazine with pictures on which you could see everything". I sincerely thought he meant a book with some magical, holographic pictures with rainbows and such. Yeah, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, haha!
