Title: The Worst Pony Name You've Ever Heard
Post by: miamorecadenza on September 29, 2013, 08:07:19 PM
There's probably been a topic on this already, but I stopped searching after page 10 lol.

The #1 worst name that comes to mind is Tink-a-Tink-a-Too. I mean what is that?? That has ALWAYS bothered me >_<

There's most likely a whole lot worse, but I'll let you help list them!

...Tootie Tails... Floater... And there are a couple others that have that "bathroom humor" sound to them... :toot:

Steamer and Floater definitely have scatological overtones.  Not a big fan of those.

Hahaha!!! XD my boyfriend always used to laugh at that name!
I feel the worst names are
Whizzer
Tootsie (I think that's the name  :wonder: )
and Romper (Again, I think that's the name also)

Whizzer, Tootie Tails, and the recent G4 phenomena of "add Dazzle at the end."

Spunky, Whizzer, Pinkie Pie sounds a bit questionable too, esp. considering what pie means to my younger brother.

And then of course the aforementioned Floater, Steamer and Tootie Tails. :x
Title: Re: The Worst Pony Name You've Ever Heard
Post by: jupiterlily on September 29, 2013, 08:33:49 PM
All those mentioned come to mind for sure!

Ok...so this may be a very unpopular opinion, but for me Pinkie Pie is the worst.  I hate saying it, because I've grown to love her character and am a fan of her design.  I just can't get past the name.  I wish they had called her Surprise as a nod to her G1 cutie-mark soul sister.

Ditzy Doo.... That's all I can think of. I mean, if you think about it, her more common name (:muffin: Pony) is just stupid. It's also really mean to the pony. Oh and Whizzer sounds pretty bad.. You know why.

Post by: Sandra on September 29, 2013, 08:51:46 PM
I was never a fan of Tink-a-Tink-a-Too (if that's how you spell it.) Never liked Toola Roola's name much either.
Title: Re: The Worst Pony Name You've Ever Heard
Post by: Rachel-Eyes on September 29, 2013, 08:54:20 PM
Steamer is the absolute worst, I think. G3 had some pretty dumb names too, like Bunches-O-Fun or Gigglebean. Springy the Colorswirl pony is kind of lame too, which is a shame because she's a favorite of mine. :/

There are so many bad names in G3, too many that I want to list... >___<

I was coming in here just to say Tink-a-tink-a-too....I'm also not to fond of Toolaroola...but I had never heard Steamer and Floater before!..Those names are just....unfortunate...
Title: Re: The Worst Pony Name You've Ever Heard
Post by: Cherry_Sunset on September 29, 2013, 09:54:47 PM
Razzaroo, Doseydotes, Flutterbutter, Lolligiggle, Skedoodle, Tra-la-la (does any song come to mind?), Daring Do Dazzle, Snailsquirm, Snipsy-Snap, and Scootaloo never ceases to make me embarrassed when I talk about her because of how silly her name sounds.
Title: Re: The Worst Pony Name You've Ever Heard
Post by: Sky_Rocket_Sammie on September 29, 2013, 10:17:06 PM
G1:
Sticky
Steamer
Hollywood

G3:
Flutter Butter
Keen Bean
Yester Daisy

Even as kid I thought some of the names made no sense.
Nice to see Hasbro is keeping up the tradition.

Post by: goddessofpeep on September 29, 2013, 11:23:20 PM
So many to choose from!  Every generation seems to have their terrible names, but G3s had more than their fair share.

I always though Alphabittle was pretty bad.  Blushie was another terrible one.  I always hated Pinkie Pie as well.  Tink a Tink a Too is just awful!
Title: Re: The Worst Pony Name You've Ever Heard
Post by: mul-ta on September 29, 2013, 11:44:12 PM
Whizzer, Fizzy, Floater, Squeezer, Snookums, Hippity Hop. Sticky is a bit like Shady: too funny to be actually bad, but her poor twin Sniffles has a horrible name as do Big Top and Toppy, Jabber and Jebber, Bootsie and Tootsie. Little Tabby and Little Whiskers... I don't do cats. Anything with Sparkle. Most Big Brother names. Twinkle Dancer is a little stupid, Pretty Belle and Flowerbelle quite unimaginative. Scootaloo and Cheerilee are absolutely awful.

One G2 name that I never understood is Glittery Study. :|

You know, they did something awhile ago, where there was a test, and it would give you a name and you'd have to decide if it was a Stripper name or a My Little Pony name. . .

Morning Glory (poor thing)
Whizzer
Floater

And sort of unrelated, why did they have to name the Baby ponies exactly the same thing as their parents! Its just a little bit narcissistic! Sure, they can look the same (minor differences would be nice though...) but give it a different name! Geez!

What does Flicker mean in Dutch?

I'll put it in a spoiler box
Spoiler
It's actually written flikker, but it sounds the same, and uhm it's a kinda negative/ mocking name for (sissy) homosexuals. So.. the first time I heard that name, I was like: Baby what!? LOL... :P

Also Jolly Lolly *gigglesnort* AND Tipsy Tulip (who was called Rum Raisin in Dutch) hehe
Title: Re: The Worst Pony Name You've Ever Heard
Post by: SeashellnBubbles on September 30, 2013, 05:08:40 AM
Oh, man...G2 has some of the most wretched names EVER!! Tipsy Tulip? What is that about? Butterfly Hunter is pretty wretched. As is Swirly...sounds like something involving a head and a toilet for college initiation!
Dizzy Lizzy, BEACH PONY!? C'mon who phoned that one in? Countryside Pony, Miss Teacher, Miss Painter, Miss. Chef, Apple Pie, Clever Clover, and Medicin. Actually, I'm on the fence about Medicin. It's quasi interesting...it sux, though because I love all of these ponies, but I don't really want a MIP Dizzy Lizzy...her name on the package makes you wonder if she's going to kill you a shiney hatchet...

I felt most of the G3 names weren't all that bad. They might have been exceeding cutesy wootsie but at least they didn't sound like something someone does in the bathroom (or bedroom) like some G1 names.

Scootaloo (reminds me of my dog when he scoots to scratch his bum)

In germany they indeed got a little different names.
For example,
Firefly & Baby Firefly = Feuerfunke & Baby Flammenflitzer (translates to "Firespark" & "Baby Flame Dasher")
Glory & Baby Glory = Sternschnuppe & Baby Schätzchen (translates to Shooting Star & Baby Darling / Honey / Sweetie)
Moondancer & Baby Moondancer = Traumtänzer & Baby Sternentanz (translates to Dreamdancer & Baby Stardance)
Blossom & Baby Blossom = Primelchen & Baby Honigkuchen (Primrose & Baby Honey Cake)
Cotton Candy & Baby Cotton Candy = Kügelchen & Baby Karamell (Pearl / Pellet & Baby Caramell)


welll... I have to admit, some of the german names dont have an intelligent meaning lol. But at leeeeeeast they got an own name lol.

I'll try not to do repeats!

I like Lolligiggle, actually. Wordplay!

I'm not thrilled with Kimono. Isn't that the equivalent of naming a pony "Shirt?"

Also not a fan of ponies named for real life/"human" places, like Hollywood or Honoluloo. To me, ponies live in a completely foreign fantasy land and have no association with humans!
Also don't like when the creators just name a pony after their symbol instead of something even a little creative, like with poor Cupcake, Waterfire, and...did I read that right? Orange Flower? Wow is that bad. It's not even a blossom from an orange tree...her symbol literally is an orange flower. Uuggghh

Not a fan of the names of the Sweet Kisses ponies, especially their UK names. They're just a bit...questionable. Kiss-and-Tell? Really? But then again, who an I to begrudge ponies their rights as sexual beings?

Someone mentioned Tra-la-la. Am I the only one who thinks of Captain Underpants on hearing that name?

When they add sparkle or rainbow or glitter or dazzle to a name... I usually shake my head. Yes, this does include Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle haha

I really do think the names got worse as far as creativity as the generations went on, but I guess there are only so many names out there!

There's a pony named FLOATER? :blink: Hahaha, oh dear, both of the "slang" definitions of that word are not nice at all. Also giggling at Baby Dangles.

I remember being surprised by the name Pillow Talk myself, but it's a cute name.

My least favourite names are the long clunky ones Hasbro mashed together to appease G4 fans i.e. Lyra Heartstrings, Trixie Lulamoon. Should have stuck with one or the other imo. :P

Post by: SilverRains on September 30, 2013, 08:46:40 PM
I would just like to take a moment to point out that the pony 'Silver Rain' is in no way 'silver' or 'rainy'. She's blue and white, and her mark/symbol is a bow. P:

It's not a bad name or anything, but it's always been a bit of a pet peeve since I found out about her (after I'd already picked this username).

Don't knock Waterfire's name. Hasbro is located in Rhode Island and in the summer they (Providence, the capital city of Rhode Island) have an event called Waterfire where they have bonfires in these metal baskets on the river. While it has never been officially stated that the pony's name was inspired by the event it seems a little too convenient.

Eh, I don't think the intent in this thread is to "knock" pony names so much as laugh and wonder at the sillier ones. There are quite a few names in this thread that I personally don't think or silly but I can see how they might be seen that way, just opinions :)

Filthy Rich.I assume his parents hated him. The worst part is that during that episode they kept making a joke by just calling him Filthy. As if the entire name isn't bad. 
I also dislike human names for ponies and a lot of the current fanon names. I want to hit the name "Colgate" with a stick.

Post by: RainbowRay on October 01, 2013, 09:56:51 AM
I agree with names like Scootaloo, and other nonsensey words with too many 'oo' sounds in them! And the G4 ponies with 'surnames'. Ponies don't have surnames!

One name that really bothers me though is Peppermint Crunch. I think it's the association of the word 'crunch' with ice cream, it really makes my teeth feel uncomfortable just thinking about it... Also I hate mint flavour so that just makes it worse. It's a shame, I love the pony but I can't stand the name!

I forgot about Pillow Talk and Night Cap! I know the latter one they mean the hat you sleep in, not a baby pony taking "sleep aids." It's even funnier they're in the same set.

I've always found the name Morning Glory hysterical. I mean, it survived over multiple generations! Did NO ONE in that board room say 'Erm, do you guys KNOW what that means?!'
I had to look up what it means. And now I'm highly amused.

As many have said, 'Floater' XD

Also a lot of the Big Brother ponies have funny names. Gah, that scene in the cartoon, my friend unfamiliar with MLP found quite hilarious (not an exact quote) "blah blah what do you think Steamer?""Blah blah I don't know Score, what you think SALTY..etc etc" the names getting gradually funnier, also possible to mishear 4-Speed for just 'Speed', and then they also rename Slugger as 'First Base' in the UK.
Oh Hasbro

And sort of unrelated, why did they have to name the Baby ponies exactly the same thing as their parents! Its just a little bit narcissistic! Sure, they can look the same (minor differences would be nice though...) but give it a different name! Geez!

In germany they indeed got a little different names.
For example,
Firefly & Baby Firefly = Feuerfunke & Baby Flammenflitzer (translates to "Firespark" & "Baby Flame Dasher")
Glory & Baby Glory = Sternschnuppe & Baby Schätzchen (translates to Shooting Star & Baby Darling / Honey / Sweetie)
Moondancer & Baby Moondancer = Traumtänzer & Baby Sternentanz (translates to Dreamdancer & Baby Stardance)
Blossom & Baby Blossom = Primelchen & Baby Honigkuchen (Primrose & Baby Honey Cake)
Cotton Candy & Baby Cotton Candy = Kügelchen & Baby Karamell (Pearl / Pellet & Baby Caramell)


I actually like these.


I don't know about the worst but weird names are Backstroke and Sand Dollar, at least to me sand dollar is weird. What does it mean?

When I was younger I watched MLP cartnoons on VHS dupped in finnish, well ponies names were translated and there were some oddities.

How about Pink Pony and Purple Pony?

Sand dollars are little sea critters (a kind of urchin, I think). When they die, they look like this:

And wash up on shore where people oftentimes collect them. There's a lot of folklore surrounding them.

It's also her symbol so it's not the world's most inspired name, but that's where it comes from!

I'll try not to do repeats!

I like Lolligiggle, actually. Wordplay!

I'm not thrilled with Kimono. Isn't that the equivalent of naming a pony "Shirt?"

Also not a fan of ponies named for real life/"human" places, like Hollywood or Honoluloo. To me, ponies live in a completely foreign fantasy land and have no association with humans!
Also don't like when the creators just name a pony after their symbol instead of something even a little creative, like with poor Cupcake, Waterfire, and...did I read that right? Orange Flower? Wow is that bad. It's not even a blossom from an orange tree...her symbol literally is an orange flower. Uuggghh

Don't knock Waterfire's name. Hasbro is located in Rhode Island and in the summer they (Providence, the capital city of Rhode Island) have an event called Waterfire where they have bonfires in these metal baskets on the river. While it has never been officially stated that the pony's name was inspired by the event it seems a little too convenient.

My apologies for not knowing that.

I would just like to take a moment to point out that the pony 'Silver Rain' is in no way 'silver' or 'rainy'. She's blue and white, and her mark/symbol is a bow. P:

It's not a bad name or anything, but it's always been a bit of a pet peeve since I found out about her (after I'd already picked this username).

Well, it's better than naming her "Golden Shower" :)

Jebber and Jabber I've always thought were awful.

Someone mentioned Lil Tot--a *terrible terrible terrible* name, especially for an adult pony.

Some of the G3s had dreadful names w/ deliberate misspellings--the one named something like Marshmellow Creme or whatever comes to mind.  I hate the thought of children thinking you actually spell "marshmallow" that way!

Sticky & Sniffles is just gross. Ew. Boogers.

I never liked Munchy either.

G2 name Moonshine is aweful adult for a child's toy.  So is Pina Colada.  But I like both those names anyway.

Title: Re: The Worst Pony Name You've Ever Heard
Post by: Silver Glade on November 01, 2013, 01:19:00 AM
For me, it's not really individual names, but naming trends that are annoying.  A list of my main gripes (these include ponies and non-ponies alike)-

~Literal or symbol-matching names (e.g. Ruby, Island Rainbow, Star Swirl, Wysteria, Cherry Blossom, Bowtie, Cupcake, Ribbon, Cotton Candy, Buttons, Parasol, Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara etc.): They're just so unimaginative - and now in the G4 world, where a pony is named long before they have a symbol, it's not quite logical or realistic. 

~Human names (e.g. Tiffany, Susie, Lyra, Octavia, Serena, Trixie, Pristina, Gilda etc.): I prefer having the pony world be its own autonomous entity, with its own naming conventions.  Give me cutesy candy names and adjectives, please!  ;)

~Pun names or word play-ons (e.g. Smart Cookie, Filthy Rich, Fancy Pants, Shining Armor, Iron Will, Babs Seed, Cranky Doodle Donkey, Mulia Mild): Something about G4 I'm not especially fond of.  Occasionally was fine (e.g. Hoity Toity in the first season), but since then it's become way more frequent, especially for one-off characters.  I enjoy bad puns actually, but as names?  No.

~Long or awkward names (e.g. Dancing Butterflies, Pink Sunsparkle, Up Up and Away, Tink-a-Tink-a-Too, Strawberry Surprise, Caribbean Delight, Owlowiscious etc.): I think once you go beyond four syllables, it's just a bit of a chore to say.  Two to four syllables work the best, in my opinion.

Floater was one of my original ponies & I never associated her name with anything other than her until I joined the Arena :P

Names that I'm not too keen on: heaps of the G4 blind bags not even going to start listing them theres just TOO many.
Scootaloo, Spunky, Dots N Hearts, Snookums, Sticky, Player, Sportstime, Bunches O Fun, Fluffaluff, Good Morning Sunshine, Island Rainbow, Jolly Lolly, Paradise Island, Pink Sunsparkle, Tink-a-tink-a-too

Vanilla Treat - just plain Vanilla would have been better

Caramel/Peppermint  & Crunch Berry - loose the crunches & insert a softer name like  Pop

Spunky  :shocked: I nearly fell of of my seat when i saw this

 :rofl:

Darn it, you people have ruined me! I can't ever look at pony names normally again! XD
Given, I have a gutter mind on occasion, so why half of these never occurred to me before is beyond me. Spunky definitely takes the cake though.

When it comes to names less easy to "corrupt" shall we say, Berries 'n Cherries kinda irks me. I love the pony, but it just sounds like random words to me. It just, doesn't really register as a name in my mind. I kind of really like Toola-Roola as a name though, I just find it fun to say.

yeah Banana Fluff and Shoeshine are pretty bad.  (This thread makes we manna post the same question in the Transformers forum.)

I'm fairly sure poor Erector is going to win that one. I know it's supposed to be a name referencing that he's an engineer, perhaps a reference to the old erector building sets, but really....yeah...
Hasbro sure has some, interesting, names in all of it's toy lines.

When a person has "the sniffles", they are sick with a runny nose.  I'm guessing because she's paired with her snot-filled-twin, Sticky probably refers to having sticky fingers, like a baby would get eating candy.     Unless Hasbro was trying (unsuccessfully) to make a reference to scratch-n-sniff stickers!   If they were,  Scratch and Sniff would've been better nick names :P

I've kind of been putting this off, mostly because it will end up being slightly off topic as it doesn't mention any names I find bad, but...

I'm going to get on my soapbox, and say I like the name "Pillow Talk", in fact, I find it really cute.  Just because  "Pillow Talk" means talking to one another in bed doesn't mean there has to be anything adult going on, and to be perfectly honest I never thought of any of that when I heard the name;  I just thought about how there are times when you wake up feeling alone at night, and need someone to talk to, which is a phase children go through a lot.

Pillow Talk is also used to mean when people talk to each other during slumber parties, which of course goes with her gift set.

So, basically, I find the name far too innocent to be corrupted, whatever it may suddenly mean now.  I hope that's okay.

I will try to post a more on-topic response in future, i.e. the names I find bad, or at least below par.  If there are any.  I admit I can see the point with some.

I think "Tink-a-Tink-a-Too" is kind of cute. Especially when you just call her "Tinka" and pretend that her surname is "Tinkatoo" :lol:

In general I hate all the fanon names that have "Hooves" as the latter part of the name. So boring. And of course :muffin:. Not because I think it's offensive but because it's just internet slang. It's like calling a pony "Lulzy" and another one "X.D. Trollolo".

I never thought anything gross about Floater until someone pointed that out. lol Her symbol is balloons so I always assumed to meant to "float like a balloon" at least that's how I played with her when I was little. She's also a flying pony so it made sense.

Someone please tell me why Morning Glory is funny? It's just the name of a flower right?

I've never liked Pinkie Pie but I've gotten used to is.

I can't believe that no one said Baby Noddins. I don't even know what that means or how it relates to her symbol.

PS I I think all the new born twin names are cute, they are meant to match each other, although sometimes the symbols don't match but I still find them cute.

Woosie, Alphabelittle, or maybe Honeybuzz.

Well to be fair, it was never mandatory that the pony's name had to match their cutie mark/symbol.  Many of them do, but many others don't.

Off-Topic, but on the subject; am I really the only one that thought that "Magic Dual" was going to end with Pinkie getting her mouth back, and then going on, and on, and on about how bad it was for her not being able to talk... so Twilight makes her mouth dissapear again (it was Trixie the first time)?

It would have been out of character, but it just seemed like the direction they were heading in - especially as characters did act OOC in season 3 for the benifit of a scene...

Toola Roola (because it's very awkward to pronounce)

"Her Majesty" prefixes in G2
Crimson Gala (reminds me of Red Wedding...)

She's the G4 who appeared as an alicorn once due to a drawing error.  She had a better name forher qt first, but she became Princess Erroria.  Seriously she's named after an error?

Normally she's a pegasus who gets called "Alula." In that one shot she got to be an alicorn and was named "Pluto" for a couple years or so, until some other site decided to rename her Princess Erroria. Such is democracy. (And she's also appeared as a unicorn, because background ponies are fluid that way...)

Whizzer, Fizzy, Floater, Squeezer, Snookums, Hippity Hop. Sticky is a bit like Shady: too funny to be actually bad, but her poor twin Sniffles has a horrible name as do Big Top and Toppy, Jabber and Jebber, Bootsie and Tootsie. Little Tabby and Little Whiskers... I don't do cats. Anything with Sparkle. Most Big Brother names. Twinkle Dancer is a little stupid, Pretty Belle and Flowerbelle quite unimaginative. Scootaloo and Cheerilee are absolutely awful.

One G2 name that I never understood is Glittery Study. :|

GLITTERY STUDY what even is that!

Some of the worst G3 names (besides the aforementioned Tinka and Toola Roola, etc) are the ones with food names combined with random words. Tangerine Twinkle, Strawberry Reef, Tangerine Sunset, Coconut Grove....

I still think she's a beautiful pony and I love her name I just wish it didn't have the double meaning!  :yikes:

Lol, I hear ya. G1 Morning Glory was my childhood hero. I love her, and what's more is that I separately discovered the flower and later learned it's name (in english). This is a nightmare!
I can't talk with my boyfriend about my fave pony, 'cause he'll just shoot me a naughty look and we both burst out giggling. And I suppose asking for my fav flower is out of the question...

Oh wait. He says that's no problem.

Toola Roola (because it's very awkward to pronounce)
My only problem with Toola Roola is that every time I hear her name, I get "Come On Eileen" stuck in my head. Or maybe that isn't a problem.

 :lol: I always get the song Bogart sings in the movie Sabrina stuck in my head "Boola Boola, boola boola..."

As a kid I always used to think of the icky names Sniffles & Sticky as meaning before & after. And Jabber & Jebber make no sense. These days they just remind me of Star Wars.  ;)

I wouldn't say it's "bad", but Salty never fails to make me giggle.

Because I'm into the fighting videogames scene and "salty" is a term in that community that pretty much means "sore loser". :lmao:

Tink-a-Tink-a-Too always baffled me. Plus, it's a mouthful.

Definitely not a fan of Floater. And Pillow Talk definitely shot my eyebrows up the first time I heard it.

And Graffiti really rubs me the wrong way. Makes me think of gangs spray-painting everything (like our wall and our satellite dish). Ugh.

This is kind of sad maybe but most of the names that everyone is posting as the names they like least are some of my favorites. XD
Like Snuzzle, Sticky and Sniffles, Toola Roola, Tink a Tink a Too, Squirmy, Pinkie Pie etc
The list goes on and on.
I can't really think of an Official pony name that I don't like though there may be one.
As a kid though for whatever reason I could never remember 4Speed's name so he always was called something different from 4 by 4, to Trucker, to the oh so imaginative Bob.

Lol this thread. :lmao:

I like G2's names, but i find Tipsy Tulip quite funny.

Also, They named some G2s in finnish using ''imagination'':

Lady Light Heart is in lady Happypill.
Baby Giggles and Wiggles became Jump and Horse.
Hip Holly is Trendy.
Princess Trixiebelle is princess Joker.
baby Flitter is just Flutter or Flap.

Sadly i dont have anymore pamphlets or backcards, that would have the finnish name on them. :----D

A pony named "Horse"? Now that is classic!

On the subject of G2, the "Fantastic Jobs" ponies were overly slimplistic with the names; "Miss Painter", "Miss Teacher", and "Miss Chef".  Okay, I admit it, when it comes to my writing it's usually the names I have the most difficulty coming up with, but come on Hasbro, do try and put a tiny bit of effort into it.  :lol:

Hahah yeah. Fantastic job ponies wouldve deserved better names.  :P
In the finnish MLP-series, Lickety Split and Posey were usually named 'Fast'. The name was very re-used, sometimes even in the same episode two ponies mightve got it. :lmao:

Oh dear, this topic comes up often between me and my partner!  :lmao:

'Toilet humour' names make me giggle :P
- Steamer
- Floater (ugh)
- Whizzer
- Windy
- Tootie Tails
- Seawinkle (eww)
- Trickles (down your leg? yuck)
- Puddles

Names with adult double-meanings:
- Streaky
- Morning Glory (I'm a florist, and as much as I know this is a flower I just can't help a snigger when I hear it!)
- Pillow Talk
- First Base (US Slugger)
- Doodles and Noodles
- Swinger
- Player


Other names that irk me:
- Nightcap
- Jabber and Jebber (What IS a Jebber?? Why does one want to jab me?)
- Sticky and Sniffles (oh yeah, snot ponies, fantastic)
- Banana Surprise (SURPRISE! It's a banana! *nudge nudge, wink wink*)
- Shovels (this pony sounds like she has a career in the grave digging business to me)
- Fifi (why not name one Rufus? What about Fido? No?)
- Sweet Stuff (is 'stuff' the best they could do? Really?)
- Up, Up and Away (Really? This name is just annoying, it's more a sentence than a name)
- Pink Dreams (What?)
- Munchy (what disturbs me most is she has hot dogs and other meat products as her cutie mark, she also reminds me of people who get 'the munchies' after some recreational substance use)
- Tossles (just toss her away! Not really, I think she is lovely, but her name makes me think she should be tossed :/)
- Woosie (I know it's supposed to be that she is a fraidy cat, but I can't help but pronounce it as though she is a tad tipsy)
- Baby Graffiti (makes me think this one is a spray painting pony)
- Baby Ribbs (mmm tasty, tasty pony)
- Foamy (rabies pony!)
- Songster (just, what?)
- Dangles (what, exactly, is dangling?)
- Frilly Flower (not sure, but this one just sounds odd)
- Fancy Flower (again, sounds odd)
- Pina Colada (mmm, yum!)
- Happyglow (lame)


There are probably others, but I think that's enough text! :lmao:

These ponies are all lovely, I would love to own them all one day, but some of their names, deary me! Yep, I'm a bit picky and I do have a bit of a gutter mind, but some of these names, my mind just links one thing to another! Bad mind, bad! lol

Yes, someone else who doesn't like the name Graffiti!

LOL. I think "jabber" is sometimes slang for yakking away, so I imagine Jabber is a chatterbox. :)

And Trickles ... ewww, yes.

Swinger and Player definitely make me raise eyebrows. I wonder how they got away with those.

I've seen a fair few parrot toys named Jabber so I always assumed it had something to do with talking/chattering, too? ie "jibber jabber"

I always figured Swinger was a reference to swing music/dance. But I cannot wrap my head around Player... oh well, it was the 80s. This happened before I was born so I have no idea what the slang of the time was, but that does seem odd nowadays... :P

Jolly is a pretty pony, white and blonde and delicate and I just didn't think it fit her XD
  I also thought she was white, but she is listed under green at the reference site Strawberryreef
she is very clear green aqua :) I just added her few weeks back .
:)
and on her name ,yes is a very simple name for an awesome pony:)

Player is called Player because she plays her guitar, I think.

I don't exactly hate these names, but sometimes the pony names which are either "this and that" for one pony, or sound like a phrase rather than a name.  What I mean for the former, are ponies such as Tux 'n Tails, Satin 'n Lace, and Always and Forever and for the former I mean ones like "Up Up and Away" (as Ariadna mentioned).  I still like the names, but I just can't wrap my head around how these ponies would work in the show if they appeared (which they never did) it just seems odd to have a phrase as a name.

I'm not a huge fan of "Sweetie Drops" either.  It's not just because I liked Bon Bon better, it just doesn't sound right to me for some reason.  I get that it's meant to sound like a kind of candy, but I just feel they could have done something else.

I agree Sweetie Drops are definitely a candy but not a good name, I think. It's difficult to say the two words quickly, while Bon Bon rolls off the tongue easier (plus it's the name of a G1 pony that almost has the same coloring and symbol!)

I don't hate them but I think some name.. elements are overused to a point I cringe a bit when I see them.
For example "Wishes", "Strawberry" or "Sweet". Also Sparkle/Dazzle/Shimmer to some extend.
