Can pony parents see the future?

[pinkieshyrose 58]

maybe they use magic or maybe therew parents stare at the first thing they see to reveal there name and that thing could magically be the thing that inflnces there child talents magically or maybe ponys wait a while to name there kids the parents my reqgnoize what they think is there talent through and some might just be normal names like in the case of apple bloom her name proably has nothing to do with her name scince she seem to be good with biluding or fixing unless her name represents a new trend to be biluders instead of apples and pinkie pie and apple jack could be obvious and rainbow dash I bet she was fast even when she was born

Meh, the names are out of question since the ponies name their kids immediately (as shown with Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake) and in the episode where the Mane 6 have flashbacks about their cutie marks, their names don't change.

Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark has to do with magic, obviously. Her CM is a spark. Her parents named her Twilight. They didn't know about her super magical talent until that one day when her magic went out of control. So they didn't name her based on talent. o_o

Sometimes it may just be by the foal's appearance, for example: Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. And they obviously named Applejack, Applejack because she's in the apple family. They named Rarity, Rarity because maybe they wanted to give her a precious name. Featherweight...well you guys already know anyway.

Snips? Snails? I can't see how someone can look like scissors or a snail, and Snips most certainly doesn't look like that.

Maybe they have some kind of "oracle" where the parents bring their children and which gives them the names. I mean there are flowers that show if someone lies, there could be easily something/someone that finds fitting names. And those who aren't brought there are just named by their parents like "Trixie" or "Pinkamena Diane Pie"

Well, as stated earlier in this thread, Trixie was probably named for her love of performing magic "tricks".

Well I was almost named Cornelius. Would that have predestined me to have a preference towards growing corn? Or meeting people named Neil?

 

Or better still, my name is Tyler and my interest leans towards Christian theology and also Team Fortress 2, but my name would mean a predisposition towards tiling floors or roofs. You wot

 

In the words of Lauren Faust, it's cartoon logic. Just like how Tank the tortoise is named after a piece of technology which technically doesn't exist.

 

Bahahahahahaha. I never thought about that with Tank. Since when have ponies used artillery?? XD haha

Oh that's not all

 

Rarity uses the word "Die" as a lyric in The Art of the Dress

Rainbow Dash uses "Bullet" as a lyric in Find a Pet song, and "bring out the big guns" in S2E14 The Last Roundup.
