Tyger 213 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 A newly born girl's mother named her "Pinkamena Zecora Smith"(source), stating it was a cute name itself and gave her alot of options for nicknames. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Matt 250 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 (edited) If I was a pony in Equestria, and my wife gave birth to a baby: I doubt I would name it based off a television show about humans. (ok, pointless perspective!) But you know, I am going to stop there and just say...they can name her what they want. Personally, I think its a little too far! As a guy, I am not too sure I would be comfortable with the name Optimus Prime either (which was stated in her post).

Doctor XFizzle 8,669 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 Well I remember hearing about some teens changing their names to that of the Mane 6, but not a newborn baby being given a MLP-inspired name yet.

Tyger 213 July 30, 2012 Author Share July 30, 2012 It's a cute name, but the mother could've atleast think through this logcally before picking the name for her child. Where's the father in this? Why not "Diane Pinkamena Smith" (as quoted from one of the comments)? If I was a pony in Equestria, and my wife gave birth to a baby: I doubt I would name it based off a television show about humans.

ShinyRibbonsAndSparkles 164 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 (edited) "Our friend has a child named Optimus Prime." THIS IS WHY TEENAGERS SHOULD NOT GET PREGNANT. I sure would love to have children when I'm in my mid to late twenties, but I definitely wouldn't want to name them after characters from my favorite cartoon... I know they have the right to name their child what they want, but it's just... not exactly the kind of thing you'd name your child... Edited July 30, 2012 by ShinyRibbonsAndSparkles 2 Hi there.

moneyshredderofdeath 414 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 Giving your children outlandish names like that isn't a good idea. Even changing your own name to a pony's is very silly and something I'd advise against doing, but at least it's you doing the name change for yourself. Giving your child that name is bound to give them embarrassment that they had no control over. For instance, there were parents in Sweden who wanted to name their kid Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 to protest a naming law intending to prevent names like that from occurring. Thankfully said name wasn't allowed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine 16,333 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 Hey, at least the child wouldn't have to change to change her name when Equestria emerged from the pacific Some people can be very near-sighted when it comes to naming babies, or any long-term stuff. But that doesn't give others to judge her like that. I can only hope she doesn't take those mean comments on deviantart seriously :/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephala 2,633 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 (edited) Er...not sure what to think. I'm more disturbed by Optimus Prime (mother of god, the poor child) but seriously...that's a little far. To each their own however. Maybe have done Diane as a name or Pinkamena as a middle one but their choice. Hope the kid's chills with it though.

tanoshii 131 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 I know it's her choice at the end of the day, but, don't you think maybe this is pushing it a little bit too far? top lel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akemi Homura 7,680 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 That must be her full name. Sounds a bit strange, but "Pinkamena" doesn't exactly sound weird by itself - unique if anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somebody 570 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 I personally like it! No one ever uses middle names for anything, anyway. Incidentally, I was named after a character from Simon and Simon. You don't see me complaining of a horrendous childhood experience related to my name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 I think this is an elaborate troll, or something... I mean, Optimus Prime? I feel sorry for these kids if this is real. They will probably get a lot of hate for something that they had no choice in.

Otter 1,942 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 If I had a kid, I'd probably name him "Super 3D Child 2 Turbo Edition Extreme", so "Pinkamena Zecora Smith" seems quite normal to me. 2 how even is otter and how can it be if Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SrFrog 927 July 31, 2012 Share July 31, 2012 Their daughter isn't really going to appreciate that one when she's all grown up. Since it's their kid they can name her whatever they want of course, they just have to be reasonable when doing it. "Never give no manipulative bitch the benefit of the doubt" - Compa's grandpa...

Nouth 496 July 31, 2012 Share July 31, 2012 Not very well thought of, to say at least.

Somebody 570 July 31, 2012 Share July 31, 2012 (edited) Honestly, I don't see what everyone is worried about here. Pinkamena sounds like a name somebody invented to be different or hipster, a derivative of Philomena. I've known girls with much sillier first names: Mercedes, Reality and Meadow to name a few--yes, those are all real names given to people. And at least it isn't Espn. Yes, that's been given to enough people to appear on the US census (Google it if you dare). And Zecora? It's a middle name. It doesn't even appear on most legal documents. And if you replace the 'E' with an 'A,' Zacora is a real name. Only a handful of people have had it as a first name since 2008, and it's also a real last name: http://www.ourbabyna...larity.html Besides, I'd bet kids would probably call her "Pink" instead of "Pinkie," anyway. You have to admit, Smith is the most generic name in English, so the most unusual first name is rather suited for it. Pinkie Smith... you have to admit it sounds cool.

Princess_Molestia 1,460 August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 I've seen far, far worse names, Pinkamena isn't that bad... oh its bad, but it can be far, far worse even actual names, like say Gaylen is worse, thats a traditional scottish name, which would hurt a kid, here at least, far worse then Pinkamena we have some pretty dumb names that aren't outlandish... and sometimes names are created out of thin air and stick (like Wendy) names come from somewhere, and 100 years from now Pinkamena could be the new Cathy or Helen, just another name (myself, I would just name my kid after one of my parents, my family does that alot, I'm named after two people lol) 1 Can't visit Ponyville?

Mayuen 77 August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 I was named after the Australian song Waltzing Matilda, with no real relations to Australia at all so... and this was of course not simply added for the characters limit, of course not, anyway. I find the name actually rather nice sounding, if I hadn't known about MLP and heard the names I would most likely just find them exotic but with a sweet touch to them. 1 Signature made by me, screenshot as base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
