I like Tootie Tails a lot because of her eyes and colors. I like bright colors so I think Paradise/Tropical Ponies are really cool. I love Sea Breeze because she looks gentle and nice.

I always loved Pina Colada

Hulaway

I had a hard time choosing one, because I love all 4 of them! I only know them from pictures though, since I don't have any of them. I chose Tootie Tails, even though I don't really get her name. The others all have tropical sounding names, but what is a 'tootie' and what does it have to do with her tail?

Tootie Tails sounds like the name of a pony with flatulence problems.

Glad you said it and not me, haha...I was just thinking about how my 5-year-old boy would interpret that name, you should have heard his gleeful hysterics when I told him there was a pony named Floater...

I had Pina Colada/Hula Hula in my childhood ponies.  She is one of the few ponies that I let get away.  I'm hoping one day I'll be able to get another one. 

I really like Tootie Tails/Summer Heatwave and Sea Breeze/Surfing Days too. 

I think the UK names fit some of the ponies better.

This is what I think of too when I hear Tootie Tails

Well, if you eat certain foods...

I picked Tootie Tails, I love that pose and yellow ponies and fruit...so...yep (and yes, that NAME, what were they THINKING??).  She's on my list of ponies to try to get in 2021.  I also really like Sea Breeze except for her pose.  I'm not a huge fan of the set though, not sure why.

Back to the names.  I have...suggestions:
Tootie Tails could be called Pina Colada (she has a pineapple!)
Pina Colada could be Palm Delight (or something else with palm in the name)
Sea Breeze could be Ocean Angel (angelfish)
Hula Hula could be Sea Breeze (sailboat needs wind)

I think they have some different names outside the US?  Are they just as non-sensical?

Tootie Tails because she got a funny name


but also I like her colors

[FernMariposa919]

I chose Hula Hula (the unicorn) because she was my childhood tropical pony! I also owned the Having a Luau outfit (although I called it the Hula Hula outfit!) and she was the perfect pony to wear it! I still have it, but I'm missing the hat. The tropical ponies are one of my favorite pony sets. I really like all of them, but I agree that Tootie Tails has a funny name.

I love them all but my favorite is Pina Colada. I love her colors, her symbol and her pose.   I agree that the US names could use some work. But, I think there a number of ponies whose names don't work well with their symbols.  It would be very interesting to know the company decided upon each individual name. 

[StillandSilent]

I had Pina Colada as a kid, but I found her at a garage sale and didn't know her name.  I renamed her Oasis, and I stick with that one to this day. 

[BubbleTea]

Sea Breeze is my favorite

The UK names make a lot more sense to me than some of the US ones.

Tootie Tails is Summer Heatwave

Pina Colada is Hula Hula

Sea Breeze is Surfing Days

Hula Hula (the unicorn) is Sail Away
