Ponyville/Canterlot Business names

[ArmedBrony 3]

I'm currently in the process of writing my first fanfic, and I've hit a wall. I want to use businesses in my story, such as restaurants and shops, that the character(s) visit, but can't seem to come up with anything that works well. I would like to use anything equine related, e.g., Hay, Gallop, Trot, etc. Anyone know of a random name generator? I've scoured the net, but only found pony name gens. It's not too critical, but it's been bugging my flank for hours, and I'm getting frustrated. Thanks for any help!

i like this idea

 

i think its hard, because you have to know what kind of business it is.. what are they selling?  and then twist that around a poni-fied name.

 

even a restaurant can get tricky... the name suggests whether its upscale or casual, or even allude to whats on the menu.  otherwise you end up with stuff like "the jello and yarn shoppe".... >>;

 

tennessee walker's  for a shoe store? xD

 

 

my only help really is resources i guess.  look up tack, horse breeds, sports (barrel racing, bronc riding, dressage etc..), or other equipment like carriages and what not.

Okay, these aren't all equine related but I think you could still use them.  They're just a little creative.

 

Ferris Wheel Fashions - A division of Carousel Boutique  (Rarity has always wanted a Canterlot shop.)

Carrot Top's Veggie Shop

Tricks of the Trade - A magic trading and bartering store.

Barns & Noble - Obviously a book store.

Shadow Chaser's Lost & Found "You lose it, I find it." - My own OCs private detective business.  haha

I'd have to say something more of the lines, of a Ponyville business name would be easier.

I have like a few names but I thought of one.

 

Pinkie Pie Party Co. - A business that helps organize parties.
