Mlp Cutie Mark theory - Predetermined Marks

Mlp has changed how bronies have thought of cutie marks several times. First, in mystical magical cure, it changed it so it shows ponies talents also depend on their cutie marks, and in Appleloosa's most wanted, it shows it can be obtained at any moment even when not preforming the mark. 

But what is my theory?

 

Every pony in the show, almost every, has a name that also refers to their mark. Rainbow dash - Hers is she can fly fast.. and is rainbows. Apple jack, loves apples. Fluttershy, is shy and flutters, and so on. What if, families carry out a tradition to name their childs, which also affect what marks they will get in the future? Twilights family is shown to have a family tradition of having high magical powers. Due to this, they likely named her so they could continue to be what the family has set up. Some names are chosen are negative, such as fluttershy or trouble shoes. But due to the magic of friendship, it always brings out an outcome; something positive about that, so fluttershy is great with animals as she hides away from her own kind and trouble shoes can entertain people with his. But why would parents deliberately name their child's negatively? Probably, they are just the evil ones. (please help me explain this and possible theorys)

For nightmare moon, she is not a pony but a force taking over a body, with no friendship in her, so theres no positive outcome to her name. Same goes for discord, but even when he comes reformed most of his body is chaos so it ignores the friendship. Also, he has no proof of ever having a family, so likely he is a form of god, made to fit one affect. In season 2, the cakes had 2 children. Pumpkin cake and pound cake support this theory, as they named them to suit their family business who are already bakers. This does not affect other species ofcourse. For example, gilda is a straightforward name. According to the totally trustworthy urban dictionary, gilda means "a chick so pretty that pathetic losers sitting around dreaming of how glamourous it would be to be her."

 

I just made this theory up in one minute, so its quite simplistic at the moment. Help developing this theory would be appreciated.
