Are there any other fantasy worlds with similar character names to MLP FiM?

I mean names like Twilight Sparkle. Are there other fantasy worlds with similar names?

[Hazard Time 1,127]

Not that I can think of, though I'm sure that there is a fantasy race in some universe that has a similar naming style.  However, I believe that if it were to be something like "Twilight Sparkle", it would be done similar to how Native Americans earn their names.

I can't think of any at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were.

The Strawberry Shortcake universe has sort of similar character naming schemes,

 

 

 

Not too fond of the show as a whole though, It lacks depth...

Hummm...

 

Well, in Mercedes Lackey's books there are people who have similar names. I haven't read too many of her books, but these tribal people are in a notable role at least in the Owl Mage trilogy.

Then there's the Warrior Cats series, where most of the characters have nature themed names like Echosong and Thistlepaw.

If you're into comics, Wendy and Richard Pini's comic series Elfquest centers around the Wolfriders tribe that has names like Skywise, Clearbrook and Dewshine in the cast.

 

Those are what I can recall off the top of my head.

There are a few MLP names I can see easily easily work as Transformers names. Hell there are plenty that have been reused such as Fireflight(sometimes referred to as Firefly), Sea Spray, Beachcomber, Flash Sentry, and Rumble, to name a few

 

 

Also there are plenty of Transformers names I can see working well for ponies, and vice versa

I think I might check out how Native Americans earn there names.

Yeah they seem very unique to the setting.

Okay cool. Thank you for telling me.

Alright cool I'll check all of those out.

Okay cool. I never thought of them working for transformers.

Some of the Warrior Cats had names that could probably translate well into Equestria, if given to a pony. Also, without saying too much, the names of the cats were sometimes connected to their destiny, which is a bit similar to ponies' names and their talents.

 

It's been a very long time since I've read the books, so there might be other comparisons you can draw between the naming systems of the two. ^^

Yeah, I think Warriors does have a good name system. It would fit pretty well into Equestria. Though, they did have the whole rank-suffix thing. That's the only thing that wouldn't transfer over too well.

Hi, as this topic is about other media with a certain similarity to FiM, but not the show itself, it has been moved to Sugarcube Corner.

<p>This thread appears to be related to the My Little Pony franchise and/or the Bronydom in general. Thus, it has been sentenced to Sugarcube Corner.</p>

Oh ok thank you for moving it.
