Maybe a magical cucumber flys to where newborns are and checks their future for what their name will be.

Shape-shifting is easy once you do it for a thousand or so years.

I've always wondered about this. Let's go with Troubleshoes as a guide, if he had been graced with a different name, would his fate have been so bad? Inevitably it worked out, but for ponies it didn't work out for...?

What if Applejack didn't go into the apple business.

 

Would Fluttershy have been so shy if not for her name?

 

Presumably horses grow into mature articulate creatures faster than humans do, and are able to let their personalities shine earlier, but how much does a ponies name shape their life?

 

I'm probably thinking too much into this.

I feel like the parents name their children endearing names. So even a name like Troubleshoes could have been done in an endearing way maybe he was clumsy and had a hard time standing on his hooves. I don't think ponies take naming as seriously as we do. Maybe when Granny Smith was born she was a wrinkly baby and grew out of it when she was a young mare and became wrinkly age but from old age.

If Tree Hugger's reaction in Make New Friends But Keep Discord is any indication, ponies choose their own names and can change them on a whim.  :lol:

but in magical mystery the main 6 did not gain difrent names just cutie marks. If this is right then they would have changed there names too
