GeekySonic 1,150 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 Are you confident in that statement? That a name isn't going to hurt anyone?: A careless oversight on my part, but my point remains.

SilverStarApple 849 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 That is a terrible idea, but I guess Lyra would make a nice human name. 1 I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was akin to a slow death. If I must live as I did before then... -Lelouch, Code Geass - My NEW DeviantART: http://SilverStarApple.deviantart.com/Want to make money for being an AWESOME PONY? https://www.tsu.co/Epsilon725 My fanfic, starring Silver Star Apple: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/224996/the-shining-silver-star-of-the-apple-family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simba86 1,541 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 it depends, some of them would work as human names, but naming a kid "pinkie pie" would probably not be a good idea 2 It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Octavia- 1,176 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 I had once considered Octavia if ever I were to have a girl, but more for its ties to Roman history (both Octavia/Octavius) than the show. Thinking upon it, however, it does seem quite dated, and whilst I would wish my child to have a more unique name, I wouldn't wish for it to be ostentatious. I shall probably settle for a name like Sophia or the like. Of course, I do not plan on having a child for quite some time, so I am not sure why I should be worrying about it at the moment. Do remember, however, that your child is not you (biological semantics aside), however much you wish them to be. Aria Rosewood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANUTERCISD 204 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 bronys are capaple of having kids, we are not different from anyone else. We just have different personalities. Also the good mlp names for humans: Octavia Lyra Cadence Bad mlp names for humans: Big Mac literally every other mlp name ever Harsh. People have given stranger names to their kids. I can be a pompous moralist too and say that people who smoke should not be allowed to have kids. I'm pretty sure most bronies are incapable of having children, anyway. I inhale dank memes, and i intend to make a dank signature soon. I also have shyabetes btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpeggio Sweep 48 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 My co worker has a daughter named Cadence. I'm not sure if it was inspired by the show or not. It's not a name that really stands out as being odd though. It just sounds like a variation on Candace to me. I've been meaning to ask but don't know if it's weird to do so. I wouldn't give my kid a legal pony name but I could see doing so as a nickname if it fit the personality. I think Rarity is pretty, as is Pinkie. Pinkie could make a cute nickname if it fit the child's personality. I also like Luna but that seems to be a very common choice for people with pet cats. Maude is a real person name and I love the character but I'm not sure how she'd be perceived in this day and age. I'm not even crazy abut the name. I SWEAR I remember hearing that Britt McKillip, who voiced Princess Cadence, has a daughter named Cadence who (this blew my mind) is the singing voice for Cadence. I can't remember where I heard that, I've been trying to look it up, but I remember hearing that somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Breeze 2,528 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 I think lyra, vinyl, luna, selestia or dash would be cute names but you should call your child that because you think it's a nice name and not because there is a fictional character that's named like that. thanks Pastel Pinkie for the amazing sign! and thanks icyfire888 for the super cute profile picture!

FlootahBabby 265 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 (edited) I would say no. It really reminds me of this one sketch that DawnSomewhere did (non MLP related) and I can't find it anymore but the script was only this. Greg: Hey Allen? Allen: Yeah Greg: Remember that one news story where these parents named their kid Optimus prime? Allen: Yeah I remember that... Greg: And throughout his whole life he taught himself to hate every single thing about Optimus Prime? Allen: .......Yeah? Greg: So........ Would it be a good idea to name my kid Hitler? The end Basically, I can't stop anyone from naming their kids anything. But if you name him/her Fluttershy, he/she's probably going to hate her for his/her entire life.

EverEverOn 346 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 Some names, like Cadence, might work for a real person's name. But Pinkie Pie isn't an okay name for a child. It all depends on the name itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Piranha 29,424 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 I think most pony names don't fit for people, I mean, many of them could lead for them being bullied for it. Few could really fit for a person, like Luna, Celeste (I Celestia still sound too fictional character like), Cadance, Octavia, Lyra.... but not many. Pets however, you can name them any pony name with no problem 1 Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Underhill 219 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 Celebrities give their kids weird names, and surely they pay a price for it.. Frank Zappa named his son, Dweezil. And his daughter, Moon-Unit.... Kanye names his baby girl, North? People who treat their children like fashion accessories/pets should be ashamed. 1 Signature by Jewel of Rarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarcup 198 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 lol most pony names would sound like stripper or porn star names. Also im pretty sure the kid would get bullied alot with a mlp namehttp://www.buzzfeed.com/shootthemoon/my-little-pony-character-or-stripper-name-17s25 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Horse 12,961 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 Personally, I don't think so. The majority of the character names are just too irregular to be used in real life, most of them are just plays on other words after all. I've actually heard of someone naming their child after Zecora, which is about one of the only names I'd consider to be less conspicuous than the others, and it is quite a nice name in itself. Would I choose it over a more traditional human name though? Probably not. 1 "Always watching - Always lurking." Signature by @Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,487 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 Names, like any other words, are just words. Society can take offense to anything nowadays. This, I wouldn't recommend due to that reason. Society would flip out and go psycho bonkers over it, causing news coverage for weeks. That wouldn't be too great for the standings of bronies either I don't think. If this wouldn't happen, I wouldn't see the big deal personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyStrike 603 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 I plan to never, ever have children but if I wanted them I probably would probably not name them after a MLP character. I would want them to have a "normal" sounding name. The most normal sounding name is Luna and I don't really feel like naming my baby Luna. No, wait Lyra! That sounds normal enough! I'm naming the baby I will never have Lyra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxsie (Inactive) 1,343 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 Absolutely not. Naming your child like you would a pet is demeaning and doing so shows a severe lack of priorities. This is a human being -- give him/her a meaningful name. Naming your child shouldn't be treated lightly, because it's a gift that will stay with them for life.

Mane Quest 104 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 Luna is actually a decent name for a girl Luna is considered an actual name though (Luna Lovegood, a character from Harry Potter for example, though plenty of real world examples that I can't think of right now would exist too).

Nila Bean 133 January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 Hecky no. I would completely understand if my children hated me if I gave them a MLP name. That's something that is going to stick with them for life... That would also set up your poor little ones for being teased DX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
