Empty Room 512 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 I've always been calling her Colgate, but Minuette sounds nicer. Hell, sometimes I just call her Brushie. 2 "Have you ever felt the need to see more than you can see?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastel 7,630 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 I used to call her Colgate before Amending Fences. Since I prefer canon names, now I call her Minuette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonasDarkmane 19,788 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 I usually go with what the show labels/names characters. I liked the name Colgate, but I think Minuette sounds better 1 Signature by @Kyoshi Ask Me Matsunaga Hisahide's death https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKT5Khp3-0U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah 1,586 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 I get confused between the two; Colgate is a earth pony and Minuette is a unicorn. I love Minuette! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyNamedEarl 1,332 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 If her name in the show is minuette then that's what I'll call her.

superdogz1999 551 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 I call that beautiful blue unicorn, Minuette rather than colgate as the name Minuette is the canon name from the TV show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorous 136 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 Minuette sounds more feminine, and has a french tone to it. Colgate sounds like a man's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attack of the Pwns 894 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 I see Minuette and Colgate as two different ponies. Minuette lives in Canterlot, went to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, and is personal friends with Twilight and Pinkie. Colgate is a dentist in Ponyville who is a complete creation of the fandom and will almost certainly never be acknowledged as canon. This is how I explain the presence of the two identical ponies in some background shots, Colgate lives there and Minuette said she visits Lyra in Ponyville frequently. So, in short, I use both 1 Signature by the ever-awesome Overdrive! Pinki Pie FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdy Luigi 2,065 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 (edited) I always call ponies by their official names. Her's just happens to be Minuette (confirmed in "Amending Fences"). Edited July 23, 2015 by TwillyFSniper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoconutCola 48 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 I'll always call her Colgate, because when I was younger I thought "Minuette" was pronounced "Minute" and thought Colgate sounded better. Minuette has a nice ring to it, but I just prefer Colgate. *shrug* No male pronouns, please. All other pronouns are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fliksch 9 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 I personally call her Minuette. Sound better to me than Colgate. Cant thinking about my toothpaste when i hear that XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jangocoolguy 433 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 Minuette. I usually prefer official names over fan names. Besides, I never thought it was a good joke to begin with "It's like I found a piece of myself I didn't even know was missing!" How do you think WE feel?!

Scootaloo Is Best Filly 578 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 Honestly I prefer calling her "Minuette" a lot better to be honest. Just like I prefer "Bulk Biceps" to "Roid Rage" or whatever other fandom name he had back before he had a canon name. Facebook: Josh B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nth Doctor 663 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 Minuette Colgate is just her undercover name to hide her identity ...despite having a bright blue coat, mane, tail and a rather tell-tale Cutie Mark It doesn't share the same design with Time Turner's Cutie Mark; Minuette's has brighter yellow top and bottom pieces I also think Turner's is slightly slimmer "I love deadlines.

Paladybug1 288 July 23, 2015 Author Share July 23, 2015 (edited) Honestly I prefer calling her "Minuette" a lot better to be honest. Just like I prefer "Bulk Biceps" to "Roid Rage" or whatever other fandom name he had back before he had a canon name. His fandom name was Snowflake, but I don't really like that name so I just refer to him as Bulk Biceps. Edited July 23, 2015 by Paladybug1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troblems 5,619 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 I associate Colgate with dentistry, which is an unpleasant topic for me. Minuette, all the way. I got an extra hour in the ballpit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Cube 4,843 July 23, 2015 Share July 23, 2015 No offense fandom, but Colgate is one really lame name. She's Minuette, and that name is better by leaps and bounds. Naming a pony after a brand of toothpaste... yeah, no copyright issues there. Not to mention her mane really doesn't look any more like toothpaste than say, Lyra's. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Flair 332 July 24, 2015 Share July 24, 2015 I have never seen this pony before, but I will now call her Colgate until the end of my days. Even though I'm pretty sure Colgate is a brand of toothpaste, it just makes me think of the words "cold" and "stargate" combined, which seems to mach her color scheme very well.

Wind Chaser 4,768 July 24, 2015 Share July 24, 2015 I call her Colgate in reference to fandom interpretations, and Minuette in reference to canon interpretations of the character, because this is one case in which the canon and fanon versions of the character have definitively split. Obviously, trademark issues are why she cannot be referred to as Colgate in the show. In addition, even as other background characters have had their fan interpretations canonized, Minuette was never referred to as being interested in dentistry as the fandom has. At this point I can safely say Minuette and Colgate might as well be two different characters, and I now prefer the canon version considering her role in "Amending Fences". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen 1,387 July 25, 2015 Share July 25, 2015 I prefer to say Minuette as her name since that's her original name in the Gameloft app and from the episode "Amending Fences", previously I said was Colgate as that's a fan name a few years ago. Minuette does look like the symphonic name to "Minuet". Princess Twilight Sparkle always do legendary stuff with magic in Equestria. Time to blast from the past. ~Allen The V.I.P., The Legendary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Frostflame 3,568 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 (edited) the official name always overrides the fan made name... once they made it clear her name is Minuette I started calling her that... then soon after she became my new favorite pony... but now that I think of it was Minuette another fan made name?... hmm probably not... also fun fact... "Minuette" is Estonian for "My advance" His fandom name was Snowflake, but I don't really like that name I didn't like it either... for obvious reasons... I'm the true Snowflake...
