Comet Tail 808 August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 (edited) So, that kind of threw me off when I first watched it. I was like, "Ponyville, really?" But I'd done some pre-reading (yes, I read about the series a bit before watching the first episode ) And heard about how Lauren Faust had taken an old series and made it awesome and new, so I figured, "ughh, legalities must've kept her with some old stuff, like that name... If only they'd let her change it!" Well, My Little Ponies, the name "Ponyville", I hereby declare to be realistically plausible, upon discovering this: http://en.wikipedia....iki/Humansville EDIT: This just in, I posted this same message on Facebook, and someone informed me that you'll get results if you google maps "Ponyville" I did!

Dusty Soul 2,611 August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 Humansville... Well I'm at a loss for words. I never really gave it any thought, but I'm sorta glad it can be called legit now.

OptimisticNeighsayer 478 August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 (edited) I live near there! (Well, the next county over anyways...) I knew it all along a name like "Ponyville" was possible. Actually though, it's pronounced "huh-mansville", not "Hyoo-mansville", so I'm not sure if it really counts. Still awesome though.

MrL0LZ 866 August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 Oh. My. God. I wonder if there is a "Androidville" in a different universe. That aside, this is truly a shocking discovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Chaser 633 August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 This town was named after a man named Hugh Mansfield. Obviously that's rather hard to fit on a sign that small. So they shortened it logically, "Hu" short for "Hugh" and "Mans" short for "Mansfield" and "ville" is a natural additive to any city name. So, Humansville was founded! That's all crap. I made it up. Good story, though, right? 5 "The dead don't talk. I don't know why." - Odd Thomas "You want to take the easy way out because if you try and fail there's only you to blame. But you know what?

Phoenix Dirac Wright 121 August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 Pony this, pony that, human this, human that, lion this, lion that, fool this, fool that. It seems that almost everything and word is named after something. Something like porcupineville or something. Oh wait, wait wait. I know 1 place I want to live in.

Rainbow Dash Loyalty 1,275 August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 Humansville? That sounds like the fake-est town ever, if I told my friend that this was real, no one would believe me xP But it kind of does seem legit to me >.< It's pretty random to have a last name called "Human" though. ~Signature created by Chaotic Discord~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaghettinoodles 298 August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 I feel like Lyra would change her last name to Human. Or have it in her middle name. Lyra Human Heartstrings. That sounds creepy.
