Quote from: Taffeta on June 26, 2018, 11:30:55 PM(ie Tiffany means white, albeit not a fan of humanoid names on ponies) but others are a bit...Wait, Tiffany is Pearl though in the UK, right?I've been calling her Pearl since I discovered the online pony community as a kid, I always -hated- Tiffany, with a firm belief that ponies do not need human names, as well! >.> Glad someone feels the same! I was so happy to discover she had an alt name, and Pearl was so beautiful to me. I always tried making up names for her before that, but once I discovered Pearl, she's been Pearl ever since.

...whereas Tiffany is a bit obscure unless you're into name meanings...
But Sticky and Sniffles are also bad names - Sticky? Do you guys call hobby horses stick horses or something?

I mean, is it dumber than Tim and Tom (their names in France) ?

Because you see, to my British brain, the combination of 'Sticky' with 'Sniffles' is...erm...a little bit gross and definitely reminscent of flu season...
Quote from: Jorgito93 on June 27, 2018, 08:03:47 AMI mean, is it dumber than Tim and Tom (their names in France) ?Honestly? Yes. I mean, imagine the university application form I also think Flic and Flac (is that right?) sounds cute.But while we're on the subject of twin names, my favourite names from the French release are the G2 twins Drifter & Dreamer...or 'Vive la Vie & Vive le Vent". It doesn't translate so nicely into English (Jorgito, feel free to correct me but I think "Long live life" and "Long Live the Wind"?), but it sounds so cute in French. Most of my G2 ponies and almost all of my twins came from France when on holiday there so I always remember that from the insert. Sadly they're the one set of twins I didn't find there, so mine are in English packaging. But I'd actually rather have them in French because those are the names I always identify them with. It took me a long time to learn the English names xD.Spoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or loginImage from the pony Business site.
Flic and Flac is cute, but i really can't see Flic as a baby pony name since it's slang for cop.
Yes, she's Pearl in the UK I guess that can also be a human name, if we're picky - but I am still just in love with the UK characterisations of the Princesses, and gemstones and jewellery do kind of make sense...whereas Tiffany is a bit obscure unless you're into name meanings...

I still have serious problems with Primrose = Ruby. Primroses are yellow by default. I mean, you can get other varieties, but generally, its 'primrose yellow'. So erm. What happened there exactly, Hasbro?

What happened there exactly, Hasbro? That's very interesting... In the US, what we call primroses are usually pink, sometimes with yellow centers. One of their common nicknames here is "pinkladies"! I wonder if it's a completely different plant from the English primrose or just a varietal difference... Two nations separated by a common language!
