I suppose they chose Moonshine because Mountain Dew is already a registered trademark. :lookround:

White lightening. :P My Mom's family lived in areas frequented by old time shiners. Honestly most people I know, don't know the true name. So it wouldn't be a problem.

However if you do know, it would make you do a double take.

Applejack is a type of whisky, so really, Hasbro's been trying to get kids drinking since the 80's! :)

*giggles* Well, I think her name is cute :) Even though I've just realized the double meaning!
Title: Re: Oh no they didn't name her that?!
Post by: Carrehz on October 04, 2013, 12:21:03 AM
Haha! I didn't know she was also named Moonshine, I've only ever seen her called Moon Shadow. How funny ;) I was just about to point out Applejack's name before I saw someone else had, haha.

What about the G2 pony Tipsy Tulip? That name always makes me raise an eyebrow :p.

Lady Moonshine could open a speakeasy and Tipsy Tulip could be her bartender.  :)

Ah, ok! I only had the version named Moon Shadow.
Well I'm being followed by a Moon Shadow;)

Plus Lady Moonshine's best friend is Tickle.  Hehe.

Two words; Pillow Talk. XD The fact that there is an actual pony with this name amuses me to no end.  I mean, it was probably seen as innocent back then, though. Tied in with slumber  parties, and all.

Don't forget about Tipsy Tulip and Woosie!

In the Transformers line, one of the original names proposed for Ratchet was "Cool Hand Lube".  Let's just ponder that for a second.

(Though to be fair that name was not proposed by a Hasbro employee, but by a Marvel employee.)

Heh -- funny thing is, the definition of "moonshine" that everyone's alluding to here is listed as the third meaning of that word in the dictionary I decided to consult. The first meaning listed is simply "moonlight", while the second one is "nonsense".

And Waterfire. 

("Fire water" was the alcohol the old time fur traders used to trade to the Natives for animal pelts.)

Heh, and Baby Nightcap! I know her name refers to her symbol (night caps), but still.. :p

And Waterfire.

Waterfire's actually named after this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WaterFire) :).

that's funny - isn't there a cereal by the name AppleJack? only with an 's' at the end?  gee the conspiracy of there company's. Next ponies will be getting street drug names.  " Mom I really really want Wacky Weed. I'll be really good with a cherry on top."

Well to me, Pillow Talk will always be innocent.  To me, it will always be seen as a response to lying awake at night, and needing someone to talk to...

I actually wrote a little something for it for the cutie mark/symbols thread.  I will admit, I even had tears in my eyes while writing it.

With that pony, who else in Pony Land needs to visit a liqueur shop!? If you ask me, a sailor pony named Salty sounds pretty suspicious too!
