Renaming Ponies?

[Rachel-Eyes]

The only one I've deliberately renamed is Gypsy to Tambourine because I don't want to call a pony a slur.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one bothered by that. :/ I know it was probably not intentional since many people do not know that it's a slur.

If I ever get one, I probably will start calling her Tamborine as well! I like that name a little more anyway. :wink: Another pony name I do not like is Steamer (I will spare you my mental images on that one!) so when I get one I already have plans to re-name him Lionel.

Tambourine is such a pretty word too. I love saying it. Lionel's a pretty nice name. I approve.

I remember calling Cherry Treats "cerecitas" wich is spanish for little cherries.^^

A lot of my ponies got new names when I was little. n_n
Glory was Star Streak
Baby Quackers was Ducky
Baby Princess Sparkle was Crystal
Twins Jabber & Jebber were Tipsy and Topsy (I still think these names fit them a lot better!)
Baby Waddles was Flip
Baby Sweet Celebrations was Tufty, Mommie was Comie, and Daddy was Ribbons
Baby Sweetsteps was Tasie
Baby Rattles was Bunny (Tattles was tragically lost. :C )
Twins Puddles and Peeks were Dixie and Trixie
Powder was Powder Puff
High Flyer was Dragonfly
Teeny Tiny Whiskers was Trinket
Baby Cuddles was Rattles

Moondancer, Applejack, Lucky, Firefly, Blossom, Baby Milky Way all kept their original names.   I only remember because I wrote them all down in a mini paper pad that somehow miraculously survived all those years!

Growing up with just one pony, I called her "pony" - though all my Barbies had their own name. It was kind of a letdown when I found out the pony's name was Fifi. I mean, it's such a dull name when other ponies have names like Rainbow Dash and Cherries Jubilee! Haven't come up with a new one, though - I was better at naming toys when I was a kid, I guess. Josephine? Dogwalker? Euphrasie?!

Fifi does seem kind of a surprise compared to most other Pony names! I wonder why they weren't more creative.

Which Fifi did you have? The white with blue hair, or the blue with pink hair?

So Soft Fifi! Once I have more of an income I need to round her up some friends - I have a few blind bag ponies, but they come up to her knee... Come to think of it, I haven't named any of those either, probably because they're all Mane Six so far and I don't have any duplicates.
