Am I the only one who thinks that "Lullamoon" wasn't supposed to be Trixie?

[MJNSEIFER 55]

Around the time the whole "Lyra vs Heartstrings" thing was going on, there were several other pony toys facing the same debate amongst are fandom, one of which was a pony named "Lullamoon", who very closely resembled Trixie (not sure if the cutie mark was the same, but it probably was). After we complained (rather pointlessly to be honest) Hasbro compromised with what ponies they could, such as rereleasing "Heartstrings" as "Lyra Heartstrings" (a name I already used), and "Lullamoon" as "Trixie Lullamoon".

 

However, did they really need to correct the latter?  The thing about ponies like Lyra, and Colgate (released as Minnuette) is that they fannamed, Trixie was not fannamed, so if they release a pony with a different name, what makes us think it's her?  It's not like any of the other ponies had been officially named in the show (Derpy has nothing to do with this subject) so the jury was still out on them (somebrony even suggested "Heartstrings" could be a different pony, as the original was darker than Lyra - I'm personally okay witht them being the same pony).  Trixie has been named in the show, so I personally think that Lullamoon was a different pony, and that an actual Trixie toy may or may not have happened on it's own.  Lullamoon may or may not have appeared in the show, as in almost every generation/version there have been ponies who are toys, but never at any point appear on the show (Tales had some show exclusive ponies who never became toys, G2 was only toys, G3.5 is the only one to have all ponies in the show, and in the toyline, because there were only seven of them).

 

"Oh, but Trixie and Lullamoon look the same, though!" True, but as much as I love all generations, including this one, it has to be said; the Friendship is Magic toyline is pretty lazy.  All the toys are just recolors of the mane six, regardless of what they look like in the show.  It's not as bad as what G3.5 did, but it's still pretty lazy.

I believe Trixie just uses Trixie as it sounds better on stage. Her real name might be Trixie Lulamoon, and it wouldn't not make sense.

 

Also: Lulamoon is like Starswirl. Which makes that head canon fit better.
