New Oc Name Help Please

[Nook Cranny 65]

Wow it sure has been a hot minute since I was here last. I honestly forgot I had an account on here. Sorry about my absence. Been really busy with work, but I miss roleplaying and MLP, so here I am. Anyway, I recently came up with a new character idea. The problem is I can't come up with a decent name for her and what I have is probably already taken. I was really hoping somebody could help a fellow rper out. Please and thank you.

So here's what I have so far for my new character. She's a sky blue unicorn with a mane and tail that both have different hues of blue in them. Her main magic talent deals largely with cleaning spells. She cleans stuff super fast and leaves no dirt speck unchecked. She's also a neat freak and hates getting dirty as much as Rarity does, but isn't to the point of being a germaphobe otherwise she probably wouldn't be in the cleaning business, eh? She loves making everything around her super clean, neat and tidy to the point of being OCD about it. She's also super friendly and loves to help others clean up whatever mess they made. Twilight thinks it relaxing to grade homework. My character, meanwhile, finds it relaxing to clean away muck and gunk. Furthermore, she owns her own business where she creates various cleaning chemicals that she bottles up and sells to any pony who wants it. Basically, if a super villain left behind a big mess, my character is the one to call upon to clean it up and fix everything back. As for her cutie mark, I'm not entirely sure of that either, but it for sure will have something to do with cleaning.

So far the names I have for her are:

Bubbles

Clean Scrubs

Tidy Flair

Tidy Hooves

Soapy Water

Hmmmm...

How about "Spotless Shean?"

[SylvyrDrake 28]

the very first name that came to my mind was Spic Span, but it just seems a little too... well perhaps more fit for like a pair of siblings than a single individual.

So with a few moments of thought other and probably more viable names came  to mind like Pristine Polish, Brilliant Finish, maybe simply calling her Orderly or having it as part of a name, none of these necessarily touch on coat color though so maybe something that connects more with coloration design?

[Nook Cranny 65]

Oh wow funny enough I was also considering Spic Span, but then I started thinking how weird that sounded even for a pony name. And then I started to think I could give her a twin sister much like Film Flam being twin brothers and all, but then I started to consider that Spic sounded pretty weird by itself too whereas Film and Flam’s names didn’t sound too weird by themselves.

I really like your other name ideas too especially Pristine Polish. It inspired me to come up with Spotless Shine. I love alliterations! So fun! Now all I got to decide is which to use. As well as a cutie mark. Thank you both for your ideas!

I believe the saying is technically “spic n’ span.”

[Nook Cranny 65]

It is, but it would be very weird to call her Spic N Span or if she were part of a duo it would still feel strange to call her Spic or Span. The names just don't quite roll off the tongue the way Film and Flam does. Know what I mean?

But I was thinking perhaps Spic 'N Span could be the name of her cleaning business? Like it could be called, Pristine Polish's Spic 'N Span's Spotless Emporium? Might be a bit too long though, but it is an idea I have heh. Gotta love the alliterations!

As for her cutie mark maybe it can be soapy bubbles? I dunno... What do you guys think? What do you think would be a good cutie mark design for a sanitation engineer? 

Also I have a feeling that while certainly not evil my character could be something of an antagonist to some characters like Applejack or Pinkie Pie because of how much of a clean freak she is. Sometimes she does end up going a bit too far in her pursuit to make everything clean and neat. Like if she were ever to become evil she'd be scary. In my mind she'd be like that cleaning experiment, Felix that Jumba from Lilo and Stitch made. If you're familiar with the Lilo and Stitch cartoon then you probably remember the episode with the adorable yet potentially deadly neat freak experiment whom Lilo names, Felix.

So, I tried posting my character, but it wouldn't go through. Is it because I need art? I'm no artist I'm afraid. I'm trying to figure out what the issue is, but I filled in every required section, so I'm guessing I just need some art. Kind of an issue for me since I cannot draw that well. I did use that pony avatar maker thing, but I realize some people don't like it when people use it.

I also tried to draw her cutie mark myself because the pony avatar maker did not have a cutie mark that would fit with her talent. It's a trio of bubbles, but I fear that might be too simple. I dunno what do you guys think?

Throw in a sponge and I think you're set!

I like the sound of Spotless, with "Spot" or "Liz" for short.

Not to steal from Digital Circus, but for the same pun, Ragatha, for cleaning with rags.

Bright Sparkle or Sparkle Bright.

Buffy Shine

Pristine

And for the less serious, we have Elbow Grease and Lemon Pledge.

 

[Nook Cranny 65]

Thank you for your suggestions, but I think I'll stick with Pristine Polish. However, I might just use some of your name suggestions for my character's family whom I have yet to come up with. As for Lemon Pledge I don't know. about that one since it might offend someone. But I think I will use Spic 'N Span as the name for the cleaning potions that she makes to sell.

 

And I have this adorable image in my mind that I want to try to draw. It's of Pristine dressed as Sorcerer Mickey using her unicorn magic to get some mops to clean. I think that would be a fun little scene to recreate!
