*/Overhead clap* NEW IDEA FOR A PONY OC!!
Hunker Squat!
I adore pony naming conventions. Alternative title for him, "Hunker the Junker"!
"Naw welcome to Hunker Squat's Good Deal's Emporyum! Where I kin garuntee I have what chew want!
This? I don' e'en know what this is, but it makes a good backscratcher so that's what it is. Now buy it!
These here unattended fillies? Five Bits each! Good deal, no questions asked, just give me the money."

And your insinuating literal translations of Pony Names have to make a direct correlation? Scootaloo doesn't scoot her way to Loos, Sweetie Belle doesn't apply sweetener to ringing instruments and Applebloom not only is around apples without her choice but does nothing to involve flowers or the act of such growing.
My condition for pony names is that they're vaugely descriptive of the pony! He both hunkers AND squats! He's a pro Squatter! ...that, and we need more characters named Squat.
Little known fact that the movement of a Squat is a variation in the group of movements known as a Hunker. There's a lot of things you can hunker "down to" but not all squats help you get to stuff.

Hey now, Sweetie Belle is a sweetie (and a belle for that matter, as in the French word for beautiful), Apple Bloom did grow flowers with a potion in the episode Twilight Time if I recall correctly, and Scootaloo has a scooter and looks like a loo. Most of the names I can call to mind refer to an actual talent on the part of the pony, which implies that Hunker Squat has an exceptionally magnificent crouching technique.
... do folks ask him to get stuff on the bottom shelf just so they can admire his exquisite haunch posture?

1. I doubt Tweetie Ball is from Prance and her beauty & sweetness are vauge measures at best. One could say your average eight year old isn’t so much pretty as Loud.
2. Oh yes, the one time. Then never shown after. We have no word if that same potion would have worked the same in anypony else’s hooves.
3. And has Tooterpoo ever used her Tooter?!!? … I mean Scooter. Think the message was that they had specific talents, but they weren’t important enough to be emotionally invested in.
...and yes, if you’ve ever been to a county flea market you know a large part of it is crouching and glaring down customers.
