I also think Molinillo for Pinwheel sounds cute though I can't translate it. Spanish names sound pretty ;D
Yay, I found the list of Finnish names: http://www.elisanet.fi/myrskytar/suomennoksia2.htm
I think my favourite is Barnacle's. Apparently it means "One Eye"!
In Spanish, Trickles is Rocio. And I like that, because my first year in London, I had a flatmate called Rocio. And ironically, one of the ponies I had with me was a regular HK Trickles. Talk about coincidences :D I also think Molinillo for Pinwheel sounds cute though I can't translate it. Spanish names sound pretty ;D
I don't know Spanish, wondered perhaps if Molinillo is from the same root as 'mill' and 'moulin' which would make sense as a 'little windmill'.
Lemon Drop had a few different names in Spain, depending on which version ^^
Regular yellow LD - Gotitas
Piggy LD - Suspiro
Green LD - Agua Limón (which I guess translates something like lemon water :P )
Baby LD - Bebé Comilíon
The Spanish names are really interesting, thank you Perikoala.
The one in particular that made me smile was Braided Beauty - Enredos > Tangles
guess who was having a bad hair day when the naming meeting came around :) :)?
I have a Starlight moc whose card is English but who is fixed into this bigger greek packaging with a candle and tales pony art so that does make sense. When I bought it there were a lot around and apparently it related to Easter in some way...

The CP Lemon Drop had two different names in Spanish. Lluvia (Rain) with the first release of the Show Table, and Gotitas (droplets) with the second.
Suspiro > Sigh
Agua limón > Lemon Water
Bebé Comilón > Baby Glutton/guzzler
*Baby Quackers - Bebé Patito Feo > Baby Ugly Duckling

That's interesting to know! I'm very curious as to which ponies were sold in Greece after the El Greco ones and what sort of packaging they had. Do you happen to have any pictures of your Starlight?

Yeah, I do. I don't seem to have any images of the back that I can find at the moment, but here is the front:

There were many of these back when I bought mine, and they were not that expensive at the time, but I haven't seen another one come up for literally years. I am sure they have and there must be others out there, but maybe folk are hoarding them.
The Starlight card was/is fixed in place with tape which as you can see is yellowing and drying out, so she's a little loose but hasn't quite come away from the base yet. The card has also been trimmed around the edges but not by me, that also seems to be part of fitting her in the bigger candle...thing.
Agreed. I could rantcomplain about the amount of time people have spent not looking into stuff that's blatantly there (but I won't xD).SpoilerI have a Starlight moc whose card is English but who is fixed into this bigger greek packaging with a candle and tales pony art so that does make sense.

Awesome! The Greek says "Happy Easter". I don't know a lot about modern Greek culture, but I gather that Easter is a big thing there, and tends to involve candles and red-painted eggs, so I suppose that's why we have ponies like Paschalitsa, Lambaditsa, and this Happy Easter Starlight.
Global pony releases, merchandise etc. are so interesting, and there must be so much that still isn't known about them!
*Baby Quackers - Bebé Patito Feo > Baby Ugly Duckling
WOW, that is amazing. :lol:
Poor baby Quackers :haha:
@Perikoala, wow, all those names! I think Baby Quackers' is my favourite. Poor Baby Ugly Duckling :lol:

Do you know if Majesty, Baby Cuddles, Wind Whistler or the Princess Ponies (Sapphire/Royal Blue, Tiffany/Pearl etc) ever had their names translated into Spanish? I don't think they were sold in Spain, but I wonder if they might have popped up in the cartoons, comics or whatever.
"Barnacle - Barbarroja > Barbarossa/Red Bear" (Beard?)
Barnacle is Red Beard ? Again, weird but fits him..
I'm now filling a notebook with foreign pony names and random observations about ponies in Greece, maybe one day I'll have enough for a coherent history or my own website or something!
MASQUERADE –Muskeli (Muscle) .
CONFETTI –Konvehti (piece of chocolate) and Karkki (Candy) . Ok, Confetti and Konvehti might be same LOOKING words, but….
