I'll try not to do repeats!I like Lolligiggle, actually. Wordplay!I'm not thrilled with Kimono. Isn't that the equivalent of naming a pony "Shirt?" Also not a fan of ponies named for real life/"human" places, like Hollywood or Honoluloo. To me, ponies live in a completely foreign fantasy land and have no association with humans!Also don't like when the creators just name a pony after their symbol instead of something even a little creative, like with poor Cupcake, Waterfire, and...did I read that right? Orange Flower? Wow is that bad. It's not even a blossom from an orange tree...her symbol literally is an orange flower. Uuggghh

Hasbro is located in Rhode Island and in the summer they (Providence, the capital city of Rhode Island) have an event called Waterfire where they have bonfires in these metal baskets on the river. While it has never been officially stated that the pony's name was inspired by the event it seems a little too convenient.
I've always found the name Morning Glory hysterical. I mean, it survived over multiple generations! Did NO ONE in that board room say 'Erm, do you guys KNOW what that means?!'

Sure, they can look the same (minor differences would be nice though...) but give it a different name! Geez!In germany they indeed got a little different names.For example,Firefly & Baby Firefly = Feuerfunke & Baby Flammenflitzer (translates to "Firespark" & "Baby Flame Dasher")Glory & Baby Glory = Sternschnuppe & Baby Schätzchen (translates to Shooting Star & Baby Darling / Honey / Sweetie)Moondancer & Baby Moondancer = Traumtänzer & Baby Sternentanz (translates to Dreamdancer & Baby Stardance)Blossom & Baby Blossom = Primelchen & Baby Honigkuchen (Primrose & Baby Honey Cake)Cotton Candy & Baby Cotton Candy = Kügelchen & Baby Karamell (Pearl / Pellet & Baby Caramell)

I don't know about the worst but weird names are Backstroke and Sand Dollar, at least to me sand dollar is weird. What does it mean?
