I don't know if non-pony toys count, but Duck Soup is technically still alive.


How do you know its not just one in a long line of Duck Soups?

G3's Fancy Free might be the most nonsensical, random, unfitting pony name I've ever discovered in my three collecting years. Can somebody explain what on Earth that means? She fancies freedom, like a purple-heart American patriot?!

G3 Puzzlemint confuses and confounds me. 

It did for me too for the *longest* time, but I realized after I got her that it's actually a play on the word "puzzlement!"
Meaning like, to be puzzled, because she came with a plug & play video game. It's just not a commonly used word!

Other than that though, she really lacks on the "mint..."
That would have made the play on words so much better if she was more minty.

Firefly, she is badass and brave, but.. she has no firefly symbols..Couldve been Lighting Mane, or Storm Kick.

My best explanation for Firefly is "lightning bug". ;)


Always hated Little Tabby's name. What's with the bear? And Little Whiskers from the same set. "Whiskers", but a rattle symbol?

It took me all these years to realise that "Scootaloo" is a play on "toodleloo", which is already an existing G3 name, released a year prior. I guess both "toodleloo" doesn't have much to do with butterflies either, but at least the scooter themeing makes more sense... like she's on the move? She hops on her scooter and says "toodleloo"? Yeah...

"Fancy-free" is a real term that Dictionary dot com defines as "free from any emotional tie or influence, especially that of love". I know the term because of Disney's "Fun and Fancy Free". There's some albums and a ballet titled "Fancy Free" too.

Gonna disagree on these. Toola-Roola's name is based on irish folk music and her cutie mark invokes celtic iconography (though it could be more explicitly musical) and Tink-a-Tink-a-Too, as Jorgito said, is a bell noise.

My best explanation for Firefly is "lightning bug". ;)

Also the word "fly", she does fly after all! :lol:

Honestly I like it more when a pony's name is a cute/fun twist or pun on their symbol. Rather than when their name is exactly what their symbol depicts (like Bubbles and Seashell. I get that these also work as cute nicknames, but still).

I guess Blue Belle can join this club too. Assuming her name is supposed to allude to the flower bluebell, and she's not just a blue beauty. Maybe she feels some kinship to Glittering SHS Sunblossom, since both have flowerbased names, but stars for symbols. (and then there's Starflower, who has the star part, but not so much the flower part in her symbol)

:what: Wow, what an idea, maybe I should've looked it up...?
Still, I didn't bother because I don't exactly have much creative faith in the same company that named a sun-themed unicorn Brights Brightly. But if that definition is accurate, Fancy Free's name is fairly clever! I'm sorry, little purple pony, you pass.

I do really like Firefly as a name too. Some ponies just have nice names that has nothing to do with therye symbol, or even ''powers''.

More to this thread.
G2: Tipsy Tulip & Dizzy Lizzy.. enough said  :P
Some of the baby G2 ponies also have names that do''not'' line with the symbol. Rumba & Samba, Fire & Flame.

Agreed. There's nothing Banana or Fluffy about her.
