Azureth 687 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 I know this may come off as really nerdy, but hey, people have named their children after videogame characters. Could you ever see naming a child after someone on the show? While some names such as Twilight Sparkle, Applejack etc. would definitely come off as weird there are some I think could go over well. Namely Rarity and Cadance. I think they are really pretty names for a daughter and not TO out there, of course convincing my non-existant wife to go along with it would be difficult. Not to mention your kids would probably get teased and not like the fact they were named after a Pony lol. Just something that I thought up. But I do think Rarity and Cadance could be nice names. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlight Magician 494 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 Interesting idea! It would probably come off as weird to the people who watch the show and know who the child is named after. But who cares? Rarity and Cadence would be good names! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribbonfree 2,383 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 Some of the names from the show are good names, like you said. Provided the parents aren't too obvious about the name being pony I don't think the child would be too negatively impacted by their name. I personally wouldn't do it on purpose, but if others want to and think they can pull it off, let them. Not my child whose name they're deciding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSwirlTheBearded 356 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 (edited) After hearing of people naming their kids things such as "Facebook", "Hashtag", and "North West", I am surprised that I have not heard someone name their kid "Rainbow Dash". Wait a second! After a quick Google search, it appears that someone named their kid "Pinkamena Zecora". Seems legit... Cadance would be a pretty good name. Just don't let the kid know that it came from a kids' pony-show. Other than that, I'm 100% opposed to the concept.

Lagom 204 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 Some would be good and fit, but I wouldn't name them after a character from a show unless I really liked the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLPForums Phanact 1,374 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 If you conciously choose to name your child after a character on the show then you don't deserve to have children. It's the most idiotic and reckless thing to do, with half the names you're just asking for your child to be bullied and ridiculed. Don't be an idiot when naming your child. 2 let's love for me and lets love loud and let's love now cause soon enough we'll die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSwirlTheBearded 356 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 Yeah, but Cadence is a proper name.(although spelled with an a instead of an e) I was unsure whether it should be spelled with an a or an e. I know that it is spelled Cadance in the show, but I had a feeling it should be spelled Cadence. By the way, Cadance does not register as a word with my spellcheck. 1 Sig by Kyoshi — Ask me anything – http://mlpforums.com/topic/94670-ask-sstb-me/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yozer247 1,006 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 well, there is a kid in my school literally called rainbow, but I think a good name from the show would be... tom. 1 Sig by No DDR machines were harmed in the making of this signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut 6,988 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 I would only go for names that pass as real names. Luna and Cadance come immediately to mind. Only Bronies would think of the MLP characters when hearing those names. I once had a young online friend named Brittany. She was named after Brittany from Alvin and the Chipmunks. But only a Chipmunks fan like myself would even think to ask about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluttershyfan94 5,742 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 It's a good idea, but it needs to be something that's not too obviously straight from the show. Which is why Cadence or Cadenza would be alright. Celestia and Luna work too, so it wouldn't be too bad. If I had a kid I'd probably think about it. 1 DA: http://fluttershyfan94.deviantart.com/ Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/Fluttershyfan94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine 707 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 Yeah, don't name your kid "Pinkamena Zecora", unless you want everyone at the PTA meetings to think you're a total dumbass. If you absolutely have to, then like others have said, Cadence works because it's not obviously a pony name. Even Chryssi would pass, if you're into that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't call your daughter Rarity: even if it doesn't come across as a pony name, people will think it's a rich name (just as another poster mentioned about Cadance). well, there is a kid in my school literally called rainbow, but I think a good name from the show would be... tom. I suppose if a kid had "Rainbow" anywhere in their name, they would become a laughing stock. Especially since rainbows are associated with being gay nowadays. It's a good idea, but it needs to be something that's not too obviously straight from the show. Which is why Cadence or Cadenza would be alright. Celestia and Luna work too, so it wouldn't be too bad. If I had a kid I'd probably think about it. Celestia may be pushing it a little bit. 1 Sig by Kyoshi — Ask me anything – http://mlpforums.com/topic/94670-ask-sstb-me/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarity Paige Belle 1,854 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 Luna is actually a nice name. Name all the kids Luna. Yeah but if you name one of kids Luna, people will think you've named her after Luna Lovegood, out of Harry Potter. Not good! 1 Beautiful, Stylish, Fabulous AND evil! What more could you want?

But then again, Luna sounds just like any other of those modern names, like Clover, Spring, and Willow (I honestly just made all of those up). Only a handful of people would think of Luna Lovegood. Plus, it wouldn't be as obvious as a name like Katniss. Luna is probably one of the best of the bunch that we've thought of.
