Senko 459 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 Just rewatching season 6 and this time I noticed while distracting the Rich's he say's "So from that moment on I took to referring to myself as Big or Large or . . . " Which given other comments about pony names got me wondering. Is his name Big Mac or just Mac with the Big being a nickname he decided on for himself that caught on because of his size? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
碇 シンジン 27,440 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 His design seems to imply that he is bigger than your average pony Rarity Fan Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His full name is McIntosh. Big is mostly a nickname as is Mac. Of course on occasion they spell his name Macintosh, which adds to some confusion. Guy has so many name variants. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senko 459 July 26, 2018 Author Share July 26, 2018 Ah I see. Pony names do like to confuse us this one has two names that one has one that one has one but two nicknames. Of course I understand why Spoiled Milk became Spoiled Rich pretty much any other second name would be an improvement. Unlike if the Dash/Quibble shippers had their way in which case she would not want to be known as Rainbow Pants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlareGun45 2,221 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 I think his original name was Bright Mac, Jr., until he got the name 'Big'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senko 459 July 26, 2018 Author Share July 26, 2018 Apparently he gave it to himself he could have been known as Large Mac if that one had taken off instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMaguz 1,023 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 My guess is that he's either Bright McIntosh Jr. or Apple McIntosh. Then the Big was added after growing up to teenager (a large teenager). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conred 274 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 His full name is Big Macintosh Apple. Big Mac is a full name of an apple. Just like Granny Smith Apple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senko 459 July 26, 2018 Author Share July 26, 2018 Except he himself say's that he started calling himself big. I did not know that Big Mac is an apple as well as a burger imitator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But must have been named Big Macintosh by his parents when he was born bigger than other ponies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry my point was in where the apple lies he say's he's the one who added "Big or Large or . . ." to his name not another pony. I'm not disputing the Macintosh part just that any other pony was responsible for the Big part of his name. He may well be know as Big Mac like the apple but the Mac came from his parents while the Big came from him (before the series started) if you see what I mean?

Never Returning 28,615 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 His name's MacIntosh, he just calls himself Big because well, he is! 1 Signature by @Mellow Mane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDDash 19,246 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 His name is based of this apple, I guess you could say that he is slightly bigger then average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrond 3,271 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 Yeah, I agree that his name is probably just McIntosh, given that that's what the apple is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziltoid the Omniscient 286 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 His name is based off an apple. Like most apple family members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cedar 1,408 July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 I suspect he was simply named Macintosh, same as his cousin is simply Braeburn. As an infant they would hardly have been able to tell he'd grow extraordinarily large, so I think "Big" came later as a nickname.
