My Favourite Mane 6 Pony

How did you find MLP Forums?

I just looked up the name online

How you became a fan of My Little Pony

The artwork that people made of the show was cute 


Hello, I'm new here, and I have a pony sona that I commissioned from someone on Etsy named "LeahLaceCreates".

Basically, the pony is a planetologist/astronomer, who specializes in astronomy and planetology, and studies magic, geology, geography, weather patterns, anything related to science, really. He lives in an observatory, the design of which is inspired by the Cosmo Canyon observatory from Final Fantasy VII.

This pony is basically a self-insert of the real me, basically someone who's kind, caring, intelligent, laid back and down to earth, and loves to play video games.

 

The only problem I have with this pony sona is that I can't settle on a name for him. I've tried lots of different results, but none seem to satisfy me. I think it's because I got the design first, and not the name.

 

I might change the pony sona design to have it so that I come up with the name first, and then commission the artist to edit my pony sona into the new design.

 

If I want a name to come first, maybe I would want a pony that's basically a male version of Twilight Sparkle, somepony that's interested in studying both science and magic, and is a bit of a nerd, too, which explains the glasses.

 

So, if anyone has any good names for my pony sona, please comment down below

Nice to meet you and I hope you like it here on the Forums!

 

As for a name..hmm. Maybe Zadornin? That means 'Saturn' and your cutie mark reminds me of Saturn. If not, then maybe Atlas since that has a space meaning and there are Atlases for maps of the world?

I'm thinkin about changing the colors and cutie mark of him if I want him to be "Starfall Dusk"...

Any suggestions?

I really like the color palette already, but I'd suggest maybe making the coat or mane and tail look like the sky at dusk and the cutie mark maybe be stars falling? You can always add markings on the coat as well!

Yeah, I think that Starfall Dusk might be a male version of Twilight Sparkle, but not too similar to her.

OH so like a counterpart to her, like Trixie is to Twilight in the show, or like Moondancer?

No, just inspired by her, he's into magic and science, but he's not really associated with her much. 

I do imagine he's good friends with all of the Mane 6, including Twilight, though...

Oh, I get it, like he likes what Twilight likes but he's not really involved with her as a person, I see :)

Actually, he is, he's actually good friends with her

The hair and tail style of the pony sona would remain the same, as would the glasses.

 

But I'm not sure about the colors, any suggestion(s)?

I like the colors, I think they should be kept :D

What about the cutie mark? Should it stay the same, or nah?

I'd definitely change it to more of a star based one

I suggest the name 'Cronus' because Cronus is the Greek God of time, agriculture, harvest and wealth. The Romans identified Cronus with the planet Saturn, which appears to be their cutie mark. 

I personally like the cutie mark just the way it is.

PS: Hello from my astronomer OC Ursa. Her name comes from the constellation 'Ursa Major'/'Ursa Minor'

Welcome to the forum @Reagan0523! Hope you enjoy it here and make lots of new friends!

As for your OC, I think Starfall Dusk or Cronus are great suggestions. I like the design you already have, so personally I think the suggestion for 'Cronus' would work better if you want to keep the design as it already is. If you want to change the pony's design, 'Starfall Dusk' would be the name to go with. Like I said though, in the end, it's your character, and it's up to you to decide how you name them or redesign them if you so choose to.
