Real life names for the Mane Six (and Spike)

Have you ever thought of (fitting) real life first names for the mane Six/Spike? So far I have:

Rarity: Isabella

Pinky: Mina (no-brainer really)

Applejack: Hanna

Fluttershy: Melissa

 

Also for additional credits think of a knightly motto for each:

Twilight: Knowledge is Power / Mind over matter

Applejack: For kin and country

Rainbow Dash: First to battle/ First in, last out

Spike: Deeds, not birth

What about Fay(e) (means fairy) or Fayette ( means little fairy) for Fluttershy? I think that the names starting with the same letter as their actual name is good. I like Mina for Pinkie. And how about Regina (means queen) for Rarity? Isabella is good, since Bella means beautiful. Rayne (sounds like rain) is good for Rainbow though it's wierd since it's related to Regina. And Jackie is pretty obvious for an Applejack name. I like Hanna(h), too. Sophia means wise, so it would be good for Twilight, but I don't know if it really sounds like a name for her. Gwen kinda sounds Twilight. Drake for Spike, it means dragon. And James for Shining Armor.

Rarity: Tabitha

Twilight: Tara

Rainbow Dash: Ashleigh (pronounced ash-LEE)

Applejack: Ashleigh (pronounced ash-LAY)

Fluttershy: Andrea (pronounced an-DRAY-uh)

Pinkie Pie: Andrea (pronounced an-DREE-uh)

Spike: Cathy

 

No, I'm only kidding.

 

But seriously, “real life names”? There really isn't such a thing. If you mean what I think you mean, the human counterparts of them can have “real life names” applied to them at birth, but they don't necessarily have to be normal names such as Sue, Diana, Erin, Cindy, etc. People have their names changed, or are born with nickname-esque names all the time.

 

Heck, words that fall into the category of normal nouns such as rarity can be a “real life name” too. You can change your name to be literally anything, the law wouldn't give a crap. In fact, I bet at least 50 people in this world were hardcore enough to change their first, middle, and last names to “Pinkamena”, “Diane”, and “Pie” respectively.

Someone actually came up with some real world names for humanized versions of the pony.

 

https://mangaka-girl...llery/#/d4txmj5

 

In it Pinkie is named Diane and Twilight is Estelle(though you have to look at the description to find that out)

Granny Smith: Sarah Smithson

 

Shining Armor: (Captain) Marcus George Reading

 

Mr. Cake: Franklin Baker

Mrs. Cake: Martha Baker

 

Thought I might try and assert these notions.

 

Granny Smith: Sarah Smithson Annie Smith(common fan-name for the young Granny Smith)

 

Shining Armor: (Captain) Marcus George Reading William Marcus Reading(seeing that his uniform was based off of Prince William's uniform)

 

Mr. Cake: Franklin Baker Andrew "Andy Baker

Mrs. Cake: Martha Baker Ann Baker

 

And no I'm not just sticking with "An-" based names arbitrarily. See? :D

Quick change the thread name to traditional names instead of real-life.

 

Lol but you make a good point. I believe there is a magician who named his daughter Moxiecrimefighter, and some celebrity named her daughter Apple or something like that.

For me personally I'd like

 

Taryn Smith for Twilight Sparkle

 

Alex Jackson for Apple Jack

 

Rhiannon Darcy for Rainbow Dash

 

Piper Pachelo for Pinkie Pie

 

Felicia Stanley for Fluttershy

 

and Rachel Fabian for Rarity

 

And of course Spike would most likely remain as Spike.

 

Celeste Samson for Princess Celestia

 

and Lunette Samson for Princess Luna

I am in a humanized Roleplay with MLP mane 6 and the names we picked kind of have something to do with their elements.

 

Kandise: Fluttershy Kandise means kindess in French.

 

Risa: pinkie pie Risa means laughter.

 

Amethyst for Rarity because of her hair

 

Applejack is Jesse because it has a country tone to it.

 

Twilight Sparkle is Twila for obvious reasons

 

RD is spectra

@,

 

We already happened to have a thread dedicated to speculating what MLP characters' names would be if they happened to have human names, so your topic has been merged with the older one.

I kind of like some of the names you've already come up with, Isabella, and Hanna are definitely a good fit for Rarity and AJ.

Twilight Sparkle:  Laura Smith
Rainbow Dash: Tayla Bolt (Bolt because of Usain Bolt ;P)
Fluttershy: Alice Evergreen
Pinkie Pie: Renae Hopp
Apple Jack: Jessie Jones
Rarity: Grace Diamond

 (Some of the first names are inspired by the girls I know at my school who have pretty similar personalities to the Mane 6, and I just made up the last names ;P)

Seeing how theres a kid named "Dragonborn" it's kinda hard for me to not see Rarity or Applejack as "real names". Though i cant really imagine someone named PinkiePie or TwilightSparkle unless their stripers. With that being said ill try to name them:

Twilight: Tara (cuzz reffrence and im lazy to think of a mystical sounding name)
Rarity: Gloria or Ruby ( they sound like the name of some diva

Applejack: Jackie(remove the apple and add ie and we have a new name!)

Pinkie: Diana (i wont to keep at least part of her pony name alive)

Fluttershy: Sarah (since yahoo answers voted this the most shy sounding name i'll go with it even tho its to bland if u ask me)

Rainbow: Roxy (it sound cool)

Spike: Drake ( means dragon, nuff said.)

Luna: Phoebe (Phoebe was the godess of the moon in greak mythology) or she could just stay Luna it is a real name after all.

Celestia:God?

k i think thats enough bad names for our ponies, their real names are 20% cooler then all names anyway img-1379355-5-xtWXQl1.png
