DJ Pon-3 vs. Vın̈yl Scratch - Which name do you prefer?

[TheTEChguy27 273]

 

A simple poll I thought about making a while ago. I've always called her Vinyl Scratch (I just like the name better), but I know most people call her DJ Pon-3. Which name do you prefer and why?

 

Also... am I the only one that noticed that her cutie mark, two eighth notes tied together, is drawn incorrectly? The vertical lines are supposed to be on the right side of the dots, not the left. (Like this: ?) This bugs me more than it should. 

 

(Sorry in advance if there's something wrong with this topic, it's the first one I've made on this site and I couldn't find a poll like this elsewhere when I searched.)

Vinyl Scratch. It's just so much easier to say. Just compare it to DJ-Pon-3, it's really hard to say and a little annoying to spell, but Vinyl Scratch just rolls off the tongue easier

[Skygunner 352]

Hasbro has chose DJ Pon 3.

 

once they used Vinyl scratch, but since then in all official merchandise and commericas it has been DJ Pon 3.

Vinyl is simply a fan name that was passed around as DJ Pon 3 was...why people still use it is beyond me.

Some people just prefer it more. It's not like we've always stuck with the official names, anyways. Take Time Turner, for example. Most of us just call him Doctor Whooves.

I do prefer Vinyl Scratch though, since it is a real pony name like Pinkie Pie or Applejack. The way their usual names are made is always the same and nearly all ponies follow that rule. Some got their names changed during the creation like Trixie - she had a normal ponies name before, but I can't remember.

I like Vinyl Scratch. It just sounds cooler to me. I have nothing against DJ Pon-3, but Vinyl Scratch sounds more descriptive.

[Scootalove 10,684]

I like Vinyl Scratch it really fits the character of DJ Pon3 more. I don't mind DJ Pon3 as the name but, you know a DJ musician Pony is one of the best things Hasbro made.

[Antismurf9001 1,271]

Vinyl was the way that I heard it first, so that's what I tend to call her.  It also seems to flow off the tongue easier.  However, I don't mind DJ Pon-3.  It's clever at least.

Some people also think the earth is flat...that doesn't make it so.

 

Just like wishing her eyes are any colour other than the off magenta,   people may think what they wish,  but official cannon is established.

I'm sorry, but... what does that have to do with anything?

 

I was just saying that some people like calling certain ponies by their unofficial names. Nothing wrong with that.

[Sleepykitty 36]

I prefer generally just using Vinyl Scratch. At least in my head canon, Vinyl Scratch is her real name and DJ Pon-3 is the name she uses as a DJ.

Vinyl Scratch sounds better to me, but if DJ Pon-3 has been chosen by Hasbro, then I will use DJ-Pon3.  It is Hasbro's decision after all. 

 

Both names are cool, though.

<<<< wubuwubuwubwub Check that DP

 

I like Vinyl Scratch but I've always called her DJ P0N3. It looks cooler typed out too so thats prolly why I've always used it. Its like she has an actual name and then her DJ name, like most DJ's (including me)

 

Oh and I also noticed how her cuite mark is backwards. The first time I saw her it bothered me a little. Now I've just come to cope with it

[SørenWolf 227]

With me it has to do with where she is, I see DJ Pon-3 as her stage name, so if she is working the beats its that, if its more slice of life type stuff I prefer Vinyl Scratch

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

Vinyl Scratch as it is easier to say, Dj-pon3 is her stage name.  At least that's what I think, so yes I do like Vinyl Scratch WAY more then the other.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,833]

It varies, sometimes I use DJ Pon3, sometimes I use Vinyl Scratch. I just pick randomly. It doesn't really matter to me which name you call her.

[~Master~ Button Mash 2,307]

Vinyl Scratch, of course! It's much more in line with the way the other ponies are named. Not to mention it rolls off the tongue better than DJ PON3 does.

[Leafeon 2,701]

Vinyl Scratch is probably her actual name, while DJ Pon3 is probably her stage name. Hasbro picked DJ Pon3, but I prefer Vinyl Scratch.

[duidamasterXD 9,626]

Vinyl Scratch, mainly because it rolls off the tongue and is generally much more fun to say. I'm calling her Vinyl whatever the official ruling on her name is.

[TailsIsNotAlone 3,694]

I like Vinyl Scratch better. It sounds like more of a pony name. I can see her using DJPon3 as a promotional or DJ name, but her friends call her Vinyl.

 

Vinyl and I are friends.

Well not really, but I wish.

[Betez 1,734]

I honestly like Vinyl Scratch better. That just sounds more like a pony name. DJ-pon3 doesn't sound Equestrian at all, in my opinion.

[ping111 124]

Might I ask why there's an umlaut atop the N?  It makes me think that it's pronounced "Vin (as in Vinnie)-yill" XD

 

Anyways, Vinyl Scratch sounds like a pony name, is easier to say, yadda yadda.

Also, to anyone who asked, Trixie's original name was Lulamoon.

[Trekkard 49]

DJ Pon-3 (pronounced Po-nee for those who want to say it correctly), is more of a stage name like Deadmau5. Vinyl Scratch is more suitable because us Bronies and Pegasisters come up with creative names for background characters (and easy to get remember).

Apparently that's just how it's spelled, according to the MLP Wiki. I don't usually spell it with the umlaut, I just used it for the topic to stay relatively accurate.

[Sks_Burns 730]

I really dont prefer one over the other because she has a birth name and a stage name. i dont really consider Vinyl Scratch to be her fan given name, but her real name. DJ Pon-3 is her alias that she would use while performing or doing PR work.

 

since we're on the topic of DJ Scratchy Vinyl-3:
