Stoner Spike 186 January 2, 2012 Share January 2, 2012 The cannon names are nice, but I think they came in just a little too late within the series in order for them to stick. I appreciate that Harbro made the effort to create names so similar in nature to those thought up by the fan base, but after a whole season, those fannon names are just too well ingrained in my head to change. I agree. Had they come up with names for the ponies earlier, they would have stuck throughout the series, in my opinion. Derpy Hooves, Lyra, Carrot Top, Berry Punch. 1 Yo Applejack... Y'alright?

Zero000 435 January 2, 2012 Share January 2, 2012 Half and half for me, some are just harder to stick to since we never hear them in the show. Ditzy Doo, Lyra, Carrot Top, Berry Punch Signatures are for fillies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallow 1,137 January 2, 2012 Share January 2, 2012 I think I'm one of the few here who prefer the cannon names. I never really cared too much about the background characters and their names, so I guess that explains why I don't hate the fact that they've been given official names. And for the most part, the official names sound better than the fan names to me. Heartstrings just sounds good to my ears. Lyra sounds too simple and it's too close to the actual instrument. Berryshine and Berrypunch both sound good. Berryshine also sounds like it could be an alcoholic drink of some sort and makes it less obvious than Berrypunch, hence why I like it better. Carrot Top and Golden Harvest are both pretty bad names in my opinion. I don't really like any of them. Golden Harvest is just too long and I don't find it very fitting. Carrot Top just sounds silly. 1 "There was me, that is Pinkie, and my three droogs, that is Rarity, Rainbow, and Fluttershy, and we sat in the Ponyville Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening."

ScottishUnicorn 285 January 2, 2012 Share January 2, 2012 I'm going to have to say Golden Harvest, whenever I think of carrot top all I can think about is a terrible prop comedian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arylett Charnoa 4,919 January 2, 2012 Share January 2, 2012 Marshmallow just said most of my opinion really. I don't care much for the background ponies if I'm honest, so I just prefer the canon names. Also, I typically prefer canon to fan-made things in general. I'm really rather insane about it. I liked Lyra, but I'll go with Heartstrings because it sounds cool as well. I had no idea Berryshine even existed until a few days ago, so she is Berryshine now because it is canonical. Both names are equal to me in how much I like them. (Which is, I am neutral about both.) Personally, I preferred Carrot Top because it made me think of cake. Carrot cake. But Golden Harvest sounds kind of cool. So, also going there. 1 Aether Velvet is the name of the OC in my avatar. Drawn by me. Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tupin86 195 February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 (edited) Lyra and Carrot Top are better names. I really don't care what they use, because I'm always going to call her Lyra anyway. Edited February 26, 2012 by Tupin86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine 16,335 February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 Fanon name are more catchy, easier to remember, and directly related to their cutie mark (this fandom sucks at naming without looking at the butt) Canon names are more suited as their last names, like Lyra Heartstrings. But Carrot Harvest just sounds silly :/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarletDagger 88 February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 (edited) What about Derpy Hooves Vs Ditzy Doo? Derpy hooves. There is already a do. If you recall the read it and weep episode. Daring do. I dont care if its just a storybook character. Derpy hooves should stay as derpy hooves. Thats the only name in my heart for her.

Eenohay 318 February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 What canon names? There's no poll! Ok, I infere berryshine for berry punch and Lyra Heartstrings for Lyra, but what about carrot top? what's her cannon name? And about the previously mentioned. Berrshine is ok, and I always though that the fanon full name for Lyra was Lyra Hearstrings. Wasn't there some debate about her before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
