they were weird with Vinyl's name, I'm sure I saw some official stuff that called her "Vinyl Scratch"?I think "DJ Pon3" or however you spell it (stupid name why they went with that over Vinyl or anything else, I'll never know) was originally a fan name too, though.
I think I recall seeing some early toy concept design (or something??) that called her "Bon Bon" so I'm wondering if it was just that they couldn't trademark that, or something.I dislike DJ Pon-3 since it really only works in writing. Still not sure how you're meant to actually pronounce it o_O "DJ Pon-three" sounds weird, and "DJ Pony" just... yeah, like Zapper said, DJ Human. It's just silly. I know they had that explanation w/ Bon where they said both names were right, I wish they'd done that with DJ too x) normally I go with the official toy name over fan nicknames, but DJ.. I just can't...
To this day, I still don't get that there are debates on her name, when it can easily be assumed/imagined that "DJ Pon3" is just her stage name. It sounds like the easiest ones to compromise, since Vinyl Scratch sounds more like a real name in FiM at least, but DJ Pon3 sounds made up even by their standards, so it sounds more like a stage name a DJ would give themselves, rather than their real name.I'm sure others must have seen it this way too (I know my friend/pen pal referred to DJ Pon3 as a stage name), but I've seen more people debate about it, or feel they should have gone with Vinyl Scratch completely, which struck me as odd, as it was such an easy name to compromise over, in my opinion.

I just can't...It's just supposed to be "pony" or "pone", with the 3 in place of the E just to make the name look cool (a similar thing was done by Playstation with their game Driver 3. The logo says "Driv3r").
