StarSwirlTheBearded 356 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 Just for laughs, let's imagine some kid was named Rainbow Dash or Pinkie Pie. Could you imagine all the pain that they would be subject to throughout their lives?

Rarity Paige Belle 1,854 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 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. My advice, Just name your kids normal names. I went to a boarding school, so a lot of the kids had weird names. For example there was a Hermione in the school. You can imagine the teasing she had to endure. Another kid was called Tristram, the piss taking that he had to endure, I feel sorry for him. I used to get teased about my name, Thomas Angel Rampling, even though its a normal sounding name! Beautiful, Stylish, Fabulous AND evil! What more could you want?

AnonBrony 1,468 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 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! Luna means moon in Spanish. That's where they got the name for the actual Character. Its an actual Spanish name and it's a very pretty one too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirrus. 1,089 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 Lol. All I have to say about naming kids - remember you are naming A PERSON who will have to live/deal with the name. Naming pets on the other hand- they aren't going to give a crap. 2 Rainbow Rocks... at least how it could've looked... in a stranger, more interesting dimension For those who are wondering, Twilight is chewing bubble gum.

GhostPony750 959 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 Take something subtle, like Cheese Sandwich. Your kids will never be bullied, because they won't know it's a pony name. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonBrony 1,468 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 But in school you just know people are gonna call her 'Loony' Luna. And whats wrong with being a bit Loony hm? Honestly, you shouldn't let something as minute as that let you affect whether you name your child something. I doubt they will call her Loony unless she really is a loon.

Rofl.............now that would be the funniest thing to hear. OT: Personally, I rather give normal names to my kid, however, I would want to name my kid Soarin. If you guys remember Matt Hill's interview with Ponyville Live, he was told that the creator of Soarin, was in fact named after her son. So, you could say there are some names that are fine, but most would not be suitable. 1 XBL: Riot Rojas 3DS Friend Code: 5300 - 9568 - 7902 WEB/CHANNEL: THREADS: Youtube - ThunderColt Studios MLP:FIM - Wrath of the Ancients Fan Fictions Weebly - ThunderColt Studios MLP:FIM: The Day Equestria Stood Still - Volunteers Wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeReallyRandomGuy 137 March 23, 2014 Share March 23, 2014 If somebody actually did this... well, I feel bad for the kid :/ I see your point in it being a good name, but they would most likely get bullied, a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenron00 366 March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 (edited) This thread reminds me of the time the video game company Acclaim Entertainment made a game called "Turok" and they had said that they would give I think $10,000 to the first person to legally change their name to Turok. The $10,000 was given to a couple who named their newborn baby Turok. I bet Turok's living a happy life. Edited March 24, 2014 by Shenron00 Yo! I'm Shenron00, but you can call me “Shen” if you want! Thanks to WheatleyCore for the sig! BTW, yes, I do realize that's Carnage and not Shenron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspiredBrony 31 March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 If I were to ever do that, I would have to look and thing long and hard about which character to pick. Besides, anyone who would do that is a fan gone too far. BTW, how about Lyra? If I were to ever do that, I would have to look and thing long and hard about which character to pick.

Erm... also latin, which spanish is based on. thats probs where it came from.

Nohbdy 4,108 March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 I don't feel it's right to give a potentially embarrassing name to a child. Like it or not, a name like Twilight Sparkle or Rainbow Dash will be made fun of. It's doing your child a disservice. That said, I have entertained the idea of naming a daughter Twily. It's still an unconventional name, but I don't think it would stand out too much. Non-bronies likely wouldn't give a second thought to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeReallyRandomGuy 137 March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 How about Lyra? Vinyl is weird, but kinda sounds good? Lyra I can understand, it does not sound like something I would instantly relate to MLP. I've heard the name before, just not sure where. Vinyl is just.... odd, and personally I could not even consider that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 There is really no need to name your child after a character from the show, unless you want to.

If people are in to that, then thats their choice but in reality I don't see it happening, mainly for the sake of the child. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Cedar 1,408 March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 In short, no. No no no no no! Don't do it! I'm as big a cartoon/anime/science fiction fanboy as any out there but when my children were born I was very careful and conservative in selecting their names. Even then I almost vetoed the name my wife wanted for our daughter because it was the same as a magic-wielding character from Archie Comics. Since coming into contact with other parents or discussing children's names with health officials, I have learned that a little boy born around the same time as one of my children was given the first name "Legolas" by his parents. I have heard of young Luke Walker, who is fortunate in that he will be able to select who he reveals his middle name of "Sky" to. And my daughter had a little boy named Harley in her kindergarten class. I was intrigued as to how his parents came up with that unusual name until I learned that his last name was, in fact, Davidson. In short, for crying out loud, don't do that to your kids! You're setting them up for who knows what kind of torment when their peers find out what their names actually come from.

Adorkable 2,737 March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 But I do think Rarity and Cadance could be nice names. Cadence is actually a pretty common name. ^^ Rarity sounds very cute as well. ^^ I plan on naming my kids after some video game character, but as much as I love ponies, I don't think their names would sound very good for an actual name. As much as I would like to yell "Twilight Sparkle! It's time for school!" across the house, it just doesn't sound like a good name for a human. ^^" But hey, 'tis my opinion! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
