Names For Rainbow Dash's Parents?

[Prof. Yana 16]

I believe this is the correct place to post this, since it's directly related to a fanfic I'm writing, correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Does anypony have any suggestions for names for Rainbow's parents? I need them for a fanfic I'm writing.

[zDashiez 496]

Well, a lot of people just go under the assumption Firefly is her mother, so you could just go with that.

As for her father Idk how about, Sky blitz?

 

Just found this.

 

Rainbow Dash

 

To promote The Cutie Mark Chronicles, The Hub's website gave users three potential stories for how Rainbow Dash got her cutie mark. Rainbow Dash's parents are mentioned in one of the stories as "loving, supportive parents" who tried to help Rainbow Dash find her mark.^[3][4]

It depends on what they would look like to judge their names, although I like the name of the mother xP Firefly seems fitting, as for the father I'd go with Lightning Blitz.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

Firefly, and Sideswipe. I dunno, I think that name would suit him. It just sounds like something you could hear an announcer saying.

[Prof. Yana 16]

Huh, I've never heard of Firefly before, that's a good name.

I might go with Sideswipe, it sounds kind of fitting.

 

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Really? you've never heard of her? She apparently the most famous pony there is.

She is the pink one(obviously). She is a G1 pony, you know, from the first mlp.

Oh, don't you get me wrong, I have heard of the Generation One pony, I've just never heard of using that name for Rainbow Dash's mother.

[Doctor XFizzle 8,651]

Mom = Firefly as in the Gen 1 pony

Dad = Spectrum Strike

 

In my fic I made Rainbow Dash's dad a former football (hoofball I guess) player and her mom a former track star to show Dash came from an athletic family.

[Super Writer 13]

Want something ironic, make the Rainbow Dash, Element of Loyalty, the daughter of Backstab, who got to wherever he is by undermining his piers.

[Soaring Symphony 372]

I don't know about Rainbow's dad, but I have reason to believe Dash's mom is none other then the one, the only, Daring Do

Just read this little headcanon here and you'll know what I mean.

I guess maybe her Dad could be named Rainbow Strike like it is in this story.  However, I have a different name for her dad.  I think his name is Buckaneer Blaze.  The "buckaneer blaze" is the name of Rainbow's signiture move and it would be really touching if she named that after her dad.  

 

Btw, before you call BS on Dash's mom being Daring Do, just think about it for a second.  

if this mare

 

 

and this stalion

 

 

decided to get together, their daughter would probably look a lot like Rainbow Dash.

He shouldn't do that. Piers cost a lot of money to repair. 

 

Anyway, Rainbow Dash's parents are completely unknown. Any names can be reasonably attributed to them.

[Megas 27,038]

Her father is most likely named Rainbow Blaze if this card is any indication

 

 

As for the mother, anything is possible, but personally I'd still like to see her have Firefly's appearance, even if she has to have a different name

[Silver Letter 1,830]

That card doesn't say who that is in relation to Rainbow Dash. One of her neighbors maybe?

Coincidentally similar looking for a neighbour.

[Ze Ubermage 226]

Blitzwing for the father maybe if that hasn't already been taken. =)

[NerdyByrd 0]

Father- Thunder Dash

Mother- Raindrop

[Denim&Venöm 16,439]

Rainbow Blaze as the dad, and looks like her mom on the left is Rainbow Shine.
