Derpy Muffins or Ditzy Doo what do you call her?

[1111 1,284]

I call her derpy why because that what the fandom called her when she was just a glitched out background pony, but what do you call her and why?

[Moonlight 7,279]

Either Ditzy Doo (mainly what I use) or Muffins since they sound less dumb and annoying. Plus saying the name 'Derpy' makes me feel awkward.

[SkullcandyPegasus 603]

I originally thought I'd vote derpy ... but muffins is actually a really cute name lol

[DeadAccount 4,603]

I'm actually never sure what to call her because everyone else seems to follow a different current on this decision.

[Raini Skies 78]

I generally prefer to use the name Ditzy Doo.

 

But I also like Muffins as a name...

Hi ,

Your thread appears to be discussing MLP:FiM in some way, shape or form. Thus, it has been sentenced to Show Discussion.

 

 

I personally refer to her as Derpy Hooves. It's the first name I heard and it just stuck. Ditzy Doo is really cute though too.

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,298]

I still prefer the name Ditzy Doo.  Which was, as you know, actually her name prior to the fandom's interference. x3

[Odyssey 5,713]

I call her Derpy Hooves. It's the most recognisable of her names. Plus I think it sounds quite cute and fits her bubbly personality.

Wrong, actually. Faust confirmed in an interview a few years ago that Ditzy and Derpy are entirely different character concepts. When Faust caught wind of Derpy, she preferred Derpy's concept more, so she scrapped Ditzy in favor of Derpy.

 

As such, I only call her Derpy for a couple of reasons:

1. It feels much more genuine to her character. "Muffins" feels too lazy, and "Ditzy" creates a stereotypical impression. Derpy is an aloof, childike, clumsy pegasus; and the name fits her more.
2. Ditzy and Derpy aren't one of the same.

[GeekySonic 1,150]

I really don't have a preference. However, I heard Derpy first, I hear Derpy the most, so that's what feels most normal to me.

[Gearbox10mm 794]

It seems that she is officially named Muffins now, but she will always be Derpy to me.

Who is this "Faust" of whom you speak?  Why does she go about spreading hurtful lies?

My question is this how long after derpy appearing in the background of gala night was the name derpy coined and when was ditzy?

The so-called "lie" is nothing but the truth, and Faust isn't a person who'll lie.

My question is this how long after derpy appearing in the background of gala night was the name derpy coined and when was ditzy?

"Ditzy" was first mentioned in Winter Wrap Up when a background pegasus said she went north to retrieve the southern birds. (A gray pegasus with a violet mane passed by during the climax; a lot of people guessed it was Ditzy.) "Derpy" was first coined by staff when Faust admitted on DeviantArt she preferred "Derpy" in a Q&A. In the show, The Last Roundup officially named her "Derpy," but negative e-mails and letters resulted in Hasbro censoring her name, original voice, and attributes from the original airing.

Her name is Derpy [Hooves].  That was her canon name in Last Roundup until parents pitched a fit, resulting in the spoken name being removed entirely, and the name being changed in the credits.  We know that's her name, the FIM team knows that's her name, they know that we know that's her name, we know that they know that's her name.  That's what they chose.  They're just not allowed to say it anymore.

 

Incidentally, I hope somepony actually calls her "Muffins" on the show, but puts air quotes around it.  Then somepony, probably Twi, would say, "Quotes used in that context expresses some form of doubt, as if you don't believe that's her real name.  Something you want to share?"  And then the first pony would say, "No idea what your talking about.  Don't know anything about that!"  Then she'd glance back and forth nervously.

Derpy hooves it's how I learned her name and the name that the version of where she appeared (the last roundup) was the name I saw as I acquired an original version of the episode

[Sidral Mundet 1,666]

Derpy Hooves, now and forever!

[Guest]

I like Derpy Doo that's just me though.

[superdogz1999 551]

I mostly call her Derpy even though the name Muffins is very cute with her favourite food being muffins. But never take Derpy's muffins.

[Red Cedar 1,406]

She will always and forever be Ditzy Doo to me, as originally intended. Muffins may be a safe, cutesy but it's unimaginative. Derpy is just offensive, and a good warning to be very selective about listening to your fans.

[Silver Letter 1,830]

It was mentioned above that Ditzy referred to an entirely different character. I mean, even in Winter Wrap Up, we see that Derpy isn't the character that was said to have traveled south.

 

I call her Derpy, not "muffins". That is not really much of a name. Maybe a nickname though.

Once again, I will simply leave this here, and you can argue semantics with Amy Keating Rogers. This comes straight from the horse's mouth, as it were. She makes it pretty clear which name came first.

[Ridley Wolf 291]

Derpy is her canon name, and all the executive meddling in the world won't change that.

 

Derpy is Derpy, and Han shot first.

[Pastel 7,627]

Derpy is the most popular name and that's how she has been called the first time in the show.

[manic 121]

I call her what I saw her being called in this episode
