Ponysona name - also a G1 pony - advice needed on this "clash" :)

[Whippycorn]

Lacey Lavender?

p.s. I don't think it matter if they share a name

Lovely Lavender Lace? Lacy Lavender? Lilac Lace sounds really nice to me too, just because they're almost the same number of letters!

Honestly, you can pick whichever name you would like most, I think! Just so long as you don't mind the inevitable "oh, I love G1 ponies!" "no, not the Hasbro one" conversation that will probably repeat itself if you go to get any adoptables! There's nothing wrong with having Hasbro or Hasbro-esque names, folks do it all the time!

EDIT: OMG, Whippycorn thought of Lacy Lavender ahead of me! So smart! Maybe, uhhh, lavender spelled a different way, like a name? Lavendre? Or is that just too silly?

You should pick what you are happiest with She is your ponysona and I dont think there is any harm in her sharing a name with another pony. Sharing a name in real life or even in ponydom is not that unusual after all

I say call her what you like best.  As others have said there are many names that belong to two ponies.  Bright Eyes for example.  I always have to specify Tales Bright Eyes and it hasn't caused any confusion yet.

Why not keep the name but play around with the spelling, like say Lavender Layce , or Lavenderr Lace? A simple change like that would still essentially have the same sound but would technically be different too ^_^

thank you very much again for your useful advice, everyone! I will still think things through, take time to decide and "taste" new possible names, but after what many of you wrote I am much less worried about sticking with the original "Lavender Lace" if that will be the conclusion.

my main problem with the name clash wasn't with commissioning. in such an event I would definitely state that I am commissioning my own ponysona and would also include a picture for reference, so, to be honest, it didn't even cross my mind this might be a problem until several of you have mentioned it here. my main concern was just that I thought doing something like this is simply a "no-go by habit". but you are right in that it might cause confusion.

you have offered a lovely variety of possibilities, thank you for brainstorming with me!
Lady is just... not something I can really relate to, and I have silly prejudices over the name Victoria (which I am trying to fight - please do not feel offended if that is your name or you like it! I do know people with this name whom I love. it's just that... they unfortunately aren't the ones that come to mind first when I hear the name and because of this I wouldn't be able to name my ponysona Victoria unfortunately).
I did try, and will keep on brainstroming about possible other variations or additional alliterating words, but so far I haven't come across any that I liked. it seems I was thinking of Lavender Lace so long my mind now works like "it sounds good, and any other variation I think of doesn't sound right", so to eliminate this effect I will take my time to decide and get used to other possible varieties as well. I do like the idea of possibly using a third, alliterating word, though it must be short, because too long names can be a pain in the bum (I already know this from my own name. I don't even want to imagine what would have happened if I decided to use hubby's name next to mine as well  ). Lacey Lavender also sounds cute, I will also be thinking of that. however, I wouldn't really like to use letter-changed variations, as want to stay fully English in the name, if part of it is English already.
