'Sup MLP Forums, how are you all doing?

For those of you who may already know me, you may already be aware that my site username also happens to be the name of my Ponysona OC (and the name of my Music Channel on YouTube).

However, I have started to notice that:

1. It may not make that much sense to use as a male pony name (despite some pony names literally having names that human beings also use, such as Cadence, Octavia, etc.).

2. I honestly feel a little cringy having my Ponysona OC using my real life nickname (and what I also use for personal real life branding), Jonny. It just doesn't sound right and feels out of place.

3. I did not know how to better name my Ponysona OC back then when he "became alive" back in 2014 when I asked someone to create an OC for me.

And so because of this, I have been thinking to change my Ponysona OC's name to something else, such as these potential new names I came up with:

- Shining Pipe (this might be a good name for my Ponysona OC) [Note, this name was inspired from Shining Armor and the sound producing part of a "pipe" organ]

- Silver Pipe (sounds pretty generic to me personally)

- Charming Stallion (according to the "Rum & Monkey" Pony name generator, lol)

- Wild Pipe (not sure if my Ponysona is "wild" enough for that kind of name, lol)

- Tin Pipe (as in the material organ pipes tend to consist of)

- Steel Pipe (same as above)

- Silver Whistle (Decided officially as the new name)

(The last 4 were found/inspired from the My Little Pony name generator from the Fantasy Name Generators)

UPDATE! (new names!):

- Lucky Pipe

- Lucky Whistle

(The reason for "lucky" is due to the association the colour green (my OC's coat colour) has with luck))

If you have any name suggestions or if you happen to disagree with my thought of changing the name in any way, please feel free to share your thoughts, I'll be looking forward to them.

Also for reference, you'll see an updated image of my OC attached.

UPDATE:

As of Jan. 19, 2019, my Ponysona OC's name is now "Silver Whistle".

Go for Silver Whistle. Your OC's got a whistle for a cutie mark and it's the most pony-like name out of all of your choices. Plus it's easy to roll off the tongue and fun to say! :muffins:

Sliver Whistle may work, tho to elaborate on something, my OC's cutie mark is actually a smaller/shorter principal "Flute" organ pipe. That's why I also got another person elsewhere saying that "Tin Pipe" may work.

 

Thanks for your input tho. As I said, Silver Whistle might make the cut. :)

I liked Silver Whistle, but to be honest, something a little more badass might be appropriate; you've come up with some deeply badass tunes.  "Major Key" comes to mind.  "Harmonic Fugue" is another one.

Those sound like good name ideas. Though I happened to agree with @Odyssey that Silver Whistle does have a nice ring to it. :)

For instance, Silver can easily be a masculine name for a stallion (also to represent the colour of the pipe cutie mark anyway), plus, one may not want to underestimate the "Whistle" in the name, as it is a crucial part of a pipe organ anyway. ;)

Also, I noticed that the first letters of the name, S and W, are coincidentally the first two letters for the name of a section or "division" of an organ. I'm referring to "Swell". While the other common ones tend to be "Great", "Choral/Choir", "Solo", "Antiphonal", etc.

Recently updated the post with two new names I came up with.

Lucky Pipe and Lucky Whistle. The reasoning is mentioned in the post.

Name him Piper.

Ah, if only it were that simple. Unfortunately, in this case, it isn't. Piper is too simple for a unicorn stallion like him. Hence why I already have other names listed. ;)

Welp, after some voting being conducted on other places and hearing from others, Silver Whistle got the popular vote and I will make the new name official.

I like Silver Whistle, has a nice sound to it, if you'll pardon the pun. :D

Good choice.

Good to hear (yes, I'll pardon the pun as it, funnily enough, makes sense, lol. :mlp_laugh:

Thank you. :)
