In light of the recent thread about pony names and their devolution over the years, especially in regards to G4, I figured we should give some respect to the G4 names we do like, from either the show, the toys, or both.
I think the three eldest princesses, Celestia, Luna, and Cadence, have really elegant names that suit their design and roles.
I also really like:
Spitfire
Coloratura
Fleetfoot
Sunburst
Octavia
Vapor Trail
Angel Wings
Autumn Blaze
Noteworthy
Roseluck
Helia
Sassaflash
Starry Eyes
White Lightning
Star Hunter
Minuette
Golden Harvest
Pepperdance
Lovestruck
Meadow Song
Tropical Storm
Neon Lights
B Sharp
I like the names Lyra and Heartstrings separatley, but I'm not a fan of Lyra Heartstrings together

Starlight Glimmer
Sea Swirl
Lemon Hearts
Sandbar
Lucky Clover

Songbird Serenade

my fav name is Octavia.

Flutter Shy
Tea Love
Rose Luck
I’ve always thought of Flutter Shy as a cute name. I do think there are a lot of really cute G4 names in general.
-
Noteworthy is hands down my favorite.
Also really good: Meadow Song, Feathermay, Coloratura, Octavia.
-
I'll probably forget some...
Lovestruck
Bitta Luck
Songbird Serenade
Plumsweet
Feathermay
Noteworthy
Photo Finish
Pixel Pizazz
Sandbar
Silver Spoon
Rooks Rampart
Honorable mention goes to Vinyl Scratch since it's more of a fan name than an official one. :)
-
I third Noteworthy.
-
I love lots of the names! The names of the Princesses are probably my favorite.
Sweetcream Scoops
Pixel Pizzazz
Pepperdance
Sea Swirl

I like the following names:
Twilight Sparkle
Rarity
Luna
Colorotura
Somnambula
Chrysalis
Shining Armor
-
Had to think for a minute. A lot of them are from previous gens!
Celestia
Cherry Spices
Photo Finish
Daisy Dreams
Feathery
Flitterheart
-
Plumsweet
Photo Finish
Twinkleshine
Spitfire
Fluttershy
Celestia
Tempest Shadow
Sandbar
Applebloom
I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting because there are just so many names to remember.
-
Sunburst is a G1 name first, so that one probably shouldn't count. Ditto any other names that are rehashed from older generations, which probably also covers Somnambula, just about, albeit not a pony name exactly....
I really like Spitfire as a name, and also Coloratura as well. I agree on both of those.
Most G4 names are pretty inoffensive though. All the really stupid ones appear in the show in cast members who were never going to get toys so didn't need to have sensible identities xD.

Flutter Shy
Tea Love
Rose Luck

Me too! Fluttershy suits her. G4 definitely has some gems in the name department (and some not-so-good ones, like Elbow Grease)
-
Hm-m I think they're perfect for me :heart:
Twilight Velvet
Diamond Rose
Ruby Splash
Emerald Ray
Sugar Grape
Cheese Sandwich
Pepperdance
Powder Rouge
Raven Inkwell
Florina Tart

Tempest Shadow
Queen Novo
Potion Nova isn't a bad name either
I have to say the worst g4 name I know of is lugnut

Yet another name shared with transformer.

Heartstrings - An AWESOME name! I know that it got added on to "Lyra", which is an okay name, but let's all pause and appreciate just how good this name is on its own. First, it's part of an idiom ("playing on their heartstrings") instead of just being two random words jammed together. Second, it cleverly references the lyre being a stringed instrument. Perfect name.
Coloratura - Another great name! A colorataura is *looks at Dictionary.com* "an elaborate ornamentation of a vocal melody, especially in operatic singing by a soprano". But also it invokes the word "color". Both of those fit in perfectly with the pony's symbol--a colorful rainbow of music notes.
Tempest Shadow - This a perfect, badass, edgelord name for an edgelord pony.
Princess Celestia & Princess Luna - Dignified and beautiful names, I love them. (I also like Cadence but not quite as much as these two.)
Sunset Shimmer / Starlight Glimmer - They're both foils for Twilight Sparkle and thus both have names that are reminiscent of hers. (celestial body + word for light). I find that satisfying, but beyond that they're just very pleasant names on their own. I rank Sunset Shimmer a little above Starlight Glimmer because Sunset's name is tailored more specifically to her design.
Rarity - Originally a G3 name, but whatever, the point is this is a great name. Reminds me of the classic G1 names like "Glory." And I actually think it fits G4 Rarity better than G3 Rarity. G3 Rarity seems more like a Skedoodle, based on personality.
Sea Swirl - Great name, if someone told me this was a G1 sea pony's name I would believe them.
Big Macintosh / Granny Smith - I put these together because they're both "apple pun" names. A cute idea for an apple-themed family.
I'm not super well-versed on the blind bag ponies, but I took a quick look through them . . .
Sassaflash - A clever play on sassafrass AND sassy AND flash (because her symbol is lightning bolts). This is clever!
Sugar Grape - Just sounds delicious.
Sweetcream Scoops - Usually I am not a huge fan of alliterative names, they're a bit cringey to me. But this one sounds so yummy, plus it actually makes sense instead of being two random words that happen to start with the same letter. *stares directly at Peachy Pie, Pearly Pie, and Pinkie Pie WHY DID THEY DO THIS THREE TIMES*

Similarly I like Luster Dawn's name! And her design...
