~ Remember in the episode "The Perfect Pear" when Mrs. Cake explains she changed her name to match her cutie mark. Maybe some of the other ponies have done that too.

One of my characters did that. Her original, name was Lemon Doodle, but she found her love in crystals and geodes. So she changed her name to Crystalline when she got older

Yea that I’m pretty sure it’s the answer but the time this vid was made was before that episode was made.

They can’t be named later in  life. For example   Like Apple Bloom and sweetie Bell and scooter Lou  there names Don’t Match Cutie marks

Filthy Riche's wife was named Spoiled Milk before she married him.

A Channel that has been deactivated for 6 months

First of all, Cake is her last name.<br>And second, I thought she changed her name because she married Carrot Cake(Mr. Cake)

First of all, Cake is her last name.
And second, I thought she changed her name because she married Carrot Cake(Mr. Cake)

I think that their talents can come from their name and their cutie marks too which makes their parents choose their destinies, Idk its just a theory 😅

Yeah. Before her parents named her Chiffon Swirl.

Maybe they try stuff that has something to Dow it’s their name.

she didn't change her name to fit her cutie mark. her name is chiffon swirl, but she goes by mrs. cake, because she's married to mr. cake. her name would be changed to chiffon cake, but goes by mrs cake, to match mr cake who also has another first name but choses to go my his last.

Well, when you talk about ift,it was the most ridiculously emotional and best episode of all time.Not only did they finally uncover apple jack's parent's past,they really made that episode super emotional. And grand pear was the best pony and character i don't know everrrrr!It is really sad that he did not appear after that episode in the whole show (At least,not that i remember from).Does any of you agree?

True, though it's info that wasn't revealed until aftet this video came out.

You guys do realize that her husband's name is Mr cake so it would only make sense that she changed it when she got married just saying

Yea! Me too! I changed my name to muffin but i like to call myself derpy hooves!

Yeeeees they all have a name that is like it’s cutie mark and in a episode that apple bloom was having nightmares of cutie marks and she had a cutie mark that wasn’t an apple so they told her to CHANGE her name so maybe first they have one name and when they get their cutie mark they change it’s name

And pear butter’s changed name is buttercup<br>(Name chosen by bright mac in “the perfect pear”)

And pear butter’s changed name is buttercup
(Name chosen by bright mac in “the perfect pear”)

@Atlas Her name is actually a metaphor for her being a "blooming apple" in how she learns stuff and passes it on to others.

When u marry someone you have the husbands last name

True maybe they had a name then when they get their cutie park they change their namez

Julianna Copper That was Goldie Delicious explaining how Pear Butter’s cutie mark was so vague it could just be assumed to be apple butter, meaning her identity as a Pear could be hidden easily. Applejack realises that Goldie is talking about her mother when explaining the feud as soon as she mentions her nickname “Buttercup”.

@Bright New Future I'm pretty sure that's just what  Bright Mac called her. I could just be remembering things, but I recall Apple Jack at one point explaining "Apple Butter's" cutie mark, before she was aware of "Pear Butter."

Beverly Kell Didn’t she just go by Buttercup?

@Spair M Still, her name was Chiffon Swirl ... and she changed it completely to Cup Cake ... while Pear Butter simply became Apple Butter.

Maybe it's optional too. Some ponies change their name, some don't

Well this video was presumably during 5th season

While that is a good point, her name was chiffon swirl, which is a type of cake that is more commonly known as a marble chiffon cake.

I think her husbands last name was cake and <b>thats</b> why she changed it

I think her husbands last name was cake and *thats* why she changed it

Julianna Copper Yeah, that would make sense. Like some other ponies had a different name at birth, but they changed it to match their cutie mark. Some ponies just kept their name, even if it doesn’t match.


I can imagine a pony naming their kid “Star Wars” and it gets a lightsaber cutie mark

I’m going to make that. I just am going to make that.

Imagine that a pony names blaze and becomes a flame wizard

@Kurapika Kurta “you have to or else we are gonna fight with are lightsabers and do a epic boss battle”

@Kurapika Kurta "FINE ⟟  WILL GET YOUR MOTHER STARWARS"

@LilyTheEnder “You’re not my father don’t tell me what to do!”

That would be hilarious 🤣 I mean I would die!


i personally imagine that it's all circumstantial.

like the apple family. they work on an apple farm, so they're more likely to have an apple based cutie mark. hence why granny smith has an apple based name but it doesn't entirely line up with her cutie mark.

then there's also, perhaps, situations where a blank flank notices that ponies have cutie marks that match their name, so they begin pursuing something that matches their name.

@aliendxde “Granny! Time for schooooooool!”

the thing is for Granny Smith's cutie mark and name relation is that in certain cultures grandmas love making pies

imagine being like 10 and everyone calls you <b>granny</b> smith

imagine being like 10 and everyone calls you *granny* smith


I always wondered why they named their daughter flutter SHY! If she didn’t end up being shy that would’ve been pretty weird!

@Nothing._.Here! oh that sounds more plausible lol

I think their last name is Shy as they being referred to Mr and Mrs. Shy, they probably named their kid Flutter and right after she grew up to be shy they fit her last name in

@DontTouchMyTea imagine beings called “flutterdepressed” 💀💀💀💀💀

@Great Editor imagine being called "flutterhappy" 💀💀

Well, her parents are refered to as Mr. and Mrs. Shy, so she probably inherited that name from one of them.

What if fluttershy name is flutterhappy i guess she will be so happy


When you consider how Flurry Heart got her name, this raises even more questions


Imagine being born and your names filthy rich.

yes, I’d like that very much

Imagine being born and your names filthy rich.

*yes, I’d like that very much*

I will love it my name is filthy rich and my cutie mark matches filthy rich cool man

His wife was named Spoiled Milk before she marries him.
How do last names work in Equestria,
Would Cadence be Cadence Armor?
If Twilight got married to Flash Sentry woukd she change her name to Twilight Sentry?
Or are name changes optional when marriage is involved?

one of the names in my name is "Faith" and i have trust issues-

LOL
Imagine being born and your called filthy rich but your poor
Everyone would ask for money because they think you have money BECAUSE OF LE NAME
lol

Or being born into a poor family with that name

Mom and/or dad: “Our son is Filthy Rich.”

Some stranger that they know: “Wasn’t he born yesterday?”

Mom and/or dad: “Oh, no, no, no, no, no! You’ve got it all wrong! That’s his name”

Some stranger that they know: “...”

Mom and/or dad: “Our son is Filthy Rich.”

Some stranger that they know: “Wasn’t he born yesterday?”

Mom and/or dad: “Oh, no, no, no, no, no! You’ve got it all wrong! That’s his _name”_

Some stranger that they know: “...”

You’d get teased though.

In the future you’d be sooo rich though so it’d be worth it

what the heck that is a good one and<br>it is kind of funny

what the heck that is a good one and
it is kind of funny

Before marriage, Spoiled Rich was Spoiled Milk.

The teacher be like:

Ur the 3rd person who made my day XD LOL

His grand father was named Stinkin Rich. Although, the Rich Family didn’t exactly start off rich. They were poor.

then you turn out poor with money but have lots of love and your filthy rich of love

Yes, thank you lots whoever named me

*then you turn out poor with money but have lots of love and your filthy rich of love*

*Yes, thank you lots whoever named me*

YouGotNicoked
. . .
. . .why. . .?
Why would you do this-

Ayyceeve We can obviously tell from this that the pony-in-question doesn’t decide what their first names are.

Imagine how much people you could trick

“Hi, I’m filthy rich”

Other ponies:  What’s your name?
Filthy Rich: I’m Filthy Rich
Other Ponies:  Stop showing off, what is your actual Name?
Filthy Rich: It’s Filthy Rich
Other Ponies: You are such a snob, we don’t like you.

One week later....
Teacher: So, could Filthy Rich come to the front
Other Ponies: ......

Parents; This is our son filthy rich <br>Others; ....

@ruby bf alt  I always think sawtoothwaves is always correct

@Stormi Wolf probably the cmcs get cutie marks that dont match their nemes

@ruby bf alt I have no clue, I completely forgot what I meant by this

Ah yeah Tempest Shadow or fizzlepop berrytwist -I mean why she’s god damn dark purple


Sawtooth : In our culture, we name our children at birth.<br>Me : So you're actually not a pony nor changeling?

Imagine being born with a label that just says disappointment

My parents told me I was born with a label that said peanut

"would disappointment please come up to the front of the class"


I think it's more like their cutie marks are kinda forgone conclusions. As in, they were destined to get those cutie marks no matter what because of their names. If the pony is named Peach Pie, it's pretty much guaranteed that their cutie mark is going to relate to some way. It's possible that whatever force gives ponies their cutie marks is subconciously driven by the ponies' own minds, similar to how the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter takes the students' choices into consideration too.


Cadance: We decided to name her Flurry Heart

Is she gonna be a mcflurry of every heart?

@Anime Fox♡ i don’t like how it doesn’t relate to something shiny or something<br>or maybe it’s just for twilight and shining armor

@Anime Fox♡ i don’t like how it doesn’t relate to something shiny or something
or maybe it’s just for twilight and shining armor

I don't like the name flurry heart is sounds weird just like my name 🤔

Sorry, Mc Donald's doesn't exist in MLP lol

i think that is what she said in the my little pony offical video

So is she gonna have a heart as a cutie mark?

Me: I like that name but why is she an alcorn!!!!

@♡Devil's_Karma♡ your name is a mix of mine and my GF

Yeah to remember the disaster where  the crystal heart broke and there was a blizzard

That doesn't help because flurry is a blank flank if that was your idea just saying

true, but couldn't cadence also maybe soo the future or something like that?<br>she is an alicorn after all, but not knew like twilight

true, but couldn't cadence also maybe soo the future or something like that?
she is an alicorn after all, but not knew like twilight

That's because of the Crystalling. Flurry was named after her Crystalling Ceremony.

But what celestia and Luna and Cadence and twilight don't match💜🌙🌞🌟<br> cutie mark

But what celestia and Luna and Cadence and twilight don't match💜🌙🌞🌟
 cutie mark

So her cutie mark is gonna be a heart and it is flurry

Flurry: The cold and storm outside the kingdom
Heart: The crystal heart

There might be some other meaning behind the name, but that's my interpretation of it.

They name her like that because what happened That day...I not sure:"v

@Sundae Cookie she said cadance not candace

dude its not my fault my child is named flurry heart🙄

Every one she meant that cadance& shining armor named flurry heart

@LovableBella - A Half Witch Her name is Cadance, not Cadence. Do some research.

When pinke sang party pony song Mrs and Mr cake said we had soo much fun we chose pund and pumpkin “s name I think


what if princess celestia knows their destiny's, and tells luna and since luna sees all the pony's in their dreams she tells the parents what to name their child? as you've said, celestia seems to have a lot of knowledge about the future, so maybe luna is the messenger to these parents

Don’t forget that Cadence’s real name is MEAMORAY CADENSA

Meamoray is similar to Spanish, Mi (my) amor (love) idk about the 'ay' tho


The reason their names match their cutie marks/ personality’s is because the people making the show didn’t think about the fact that you don’t know someone’s personality when they are born lol 😂!


Since all ponies have an innate magic, I always assumed it was a form of the magic manifesting that made a ponies guardian pick a fitting name. If their destiny changes, they may rename themselves though.


Imagine this
Doctor: it's a besutiful little colt! What sould yoh like to name him?
Mom: pizza cook! He will make pizza and his cutie mark will be pizza

Years Later

Son: * grows flowers and has a garden shovel as a result*
Mom: FUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Pizza Cook/Flower Fun: Yes, cooking pizza was never my thing.


How about let's add an alternative:<br>The creators made the name cute and sweet (for most ponies) because it's a children's show for sweet and kind ponies

My theory: I think that some ponies are given a different name after they get their cutie mark, Mrs.cake's real name isn't really Mrs.cake, we've seen some other example of it. As for the crystal empire I think they kept their names, even after they got their mark. And I guess some ponies doesn't want to change their name, I'm not sure about my theory but it can be a possibility I guess-


How do ponies get their names?
THEIR PARENTS

How do ponies get their names?
*THEIR PARENTS*

Did I get the spelling of Mrs.Sparkle wrong

• c h e r r y • you can still like if ya want to like then do it why what's the matter

You are right like Twilight Sparkle Ms Sparkle named her

@Sammy  nO    blank flankes got there cutie marks the sAmE nAmE

iiFrappe Not how the ponies get their names, its where. If you said their parents that would mean where did they get that name from. Your saying it wrong

yeah they do get their names from their parents

Congratulations. You are a person on the internet who used the correct there/they're/their.

Connie bee they get them

I’m an intellectual

No they don't they get their real name by their parents first and then they change their name after their cutie mark


In the episode Perfect Pear, it was mentioned that Mrs. Cake changed her name when she got her cutie mark. In the episode Pinkie's Pride, Mr & Mrs Cake said that they picked Pound & Pumpkin's name in their baby shower. Shining Armor and Cadence named Flurry Heart to commemorate what she did.

I'd say that maybe ponies are named by their parents, but if their destiny didn't 'match' their name, they can to change it if they want 🤷

I have a theory: Maybe their cutie marks always will represent their names. Maybe the cutie marks are based on the pony’s destiny and name and the cutie mark’s symbolism. Maybe the cutie mark usually has to be identical or related at the least. But there are a few exceptions like, the cutie mark crusaders, but they were destined to solve- uh problems I guess? But still they were destined to solve different issues around Equestria. Like you mentioned, Granny Smith’s cutie mark does not resemble her name, but it is related to Apples, her destiny. It’s apple pie so that my theory but it could just be anything.


Honestly, the producers just wanted some of the characters names to match their cutie mark. I don’t think it’s supposed to be taken to seriously.


I have a theory:
They have a name, they stick to it, then later on when they are use to their name and talent (basically the same) they get a cutie mark.
The C.M.C  had weird/odd names (applebloom (maybe an apple in a flower) sweetie bell (a bell that tastes sweet) and scootaloo (idk maybe a loo skating? (The skating part is okay))

@munchkin chalateoIf cutie marks represent a talent or attribute, what about something like a skull and shovel cutie mark? Grave digger. Grave robber. Stylized Duskull cutie mark? Maybe something to do with ghosts since Duskull is a ghost type. Pony with an alien emoji cutie mark might be interested in extraterrestrial life. I dunno who thinks of it.👽👻

Apple Bloom: A blossoming apple flower that is learning to mature and grow up and pass owns knowledge to others

Sweetie Belle: She's just a sweet pony :3

Skootaloo: She uses her scooter to get around most the time

@simplykhlxe Bell <i>peppers</i> taste sweet.😺👻

@simplykhlxe Bell _peppers_ taste sweet.😺👻

For scootalo,She loves using SCOOTers!<3


Maybe, the names have to do with the family.

Like, the apples have names related to apples

The unicorns usually have names related to magic, or astronomy

The Pegasi usually have something to do with the sky or flying

And the Earth ponies are just kinda all over the place

Hi 😢 happy happy day to happy birthday happy happy birthday to love love bye love you love bye love you bye bye hi hi love hi love bye bye hi hi love hi love bye bye hi hi love hi love bye bye hi hi love hi love bye 😢😮😅😊🎉😂❤🎉❤😂😊😅 bye love bye love love you love bye love you love

@Nothing._.Here! but he or she said "usually" not everytime

No, Rarity doesn’t have any single thing matched with magic or astronomy

@♚ — crescents ! how did I not notice that part XD

@Glitter Znail I'm heaven backwards, so my name is nevaeh.

The Earth ponies usually have food cutie marks

"And the Earth ponies are just kinda all over the place"


I've got a theory: What if Celestia sees through her thingy where she saw all Twilight's adventures and stuff, Celestia could see the ponies that will be parents in the future so she could have conversations with them on what to name their children without her seeing the pony.


I like the idea of pony parents experiencing some mild prophetic abilities when naming their children.


I'm an edgy MLP repainter and this definitely made me really think about my ponies' names. Imagine your parents naming you Fallen Angel or Red Revolution, lol


it's possible that magic may play a part when parents name  their foals and they just get a 'feeling' which could be fate giving them a clue as to what to name their child. It is also possible that they just may feel more drawn to things relating to their name so it shapes their destiny.


I’d love to see a sequel to this taking later eps into account


I'm about 5 years late to this video but I know how they do.... According to what I think They get their cutie-Marks based on their names,
For example, let's take Rainbow Dash, She got her Mark when she did the Rain-boom. Seeing her name she and her parents try to get her cutie mark that goes with her name. I feel like it makes most sense.
Another great Example is Applejack! She is born in an apple so she works and lives there itself, Growing up there she is best at what she does at the apple farm at her home and she just happens to do something which is worthy enough to get her cutie-Mark


Mrs. Cake (Cup Cake) was named Chiffon Swirl, but changed when her cutiemark appeared. So they change names sometimes once they get their cutiemarks.

She changed her name bc she got married to Mr. Cake tho


They get their names based on where their from. Apple Jack - The apple farm<br>And AJ would know to do things at the farm and help out there. So she gets her cutie mark when she does something extraordinary which is related to her.

Has anyone realized the connection between magic pony users and their names?
Usually, ponies that are good at magic have names that are related to astronomy.
For example: TWILIGHT Sparkle, Trixie LulaMOON, STARLIGHT Glimmer, MOONdancer, SUNSET Shimmer, LUNA, CELESTIA

Uhh.. Well yeah because they come from family that are interested in magic. Probably when those last names were created, it was because those ponies were interested on astronomy and so the thread follows on

My OC: born a unicorn, has Star in his name, is good at magic and loves magic, became an Alicorn

Yeah i see a connection

@The Sparrow Yeah, but she's good at Trix (Tricks)

@The Sparrow Yeah, but she's good at Trix (Tricks)

in Latin, Celestia means "heavenly" now in most religions, heaven is in the SKY and hell is down underground.. as you mentioned, all the powerful unicorns/alicorns seem to have names that have something to do with the sky... BUT what about Trixie, she isn't too powerful.. she's no better than the average unicorn,  so why her? Well, the word Lulamoon has meaning, it's terms are: courageous, clever, creative, and sometimes a bit of a show off.. i think trixie does indeed demonstrate that, she may not be courageous, but she does have some guts to admit she never banished a Ursa Minor/Major, she's clever because she put her performance-wagon together all by herself, it has to have pretty good engineering to work and good stability to hold all her magic supplies, same thing goes for creative..and well.. i think we can all agree that she's a show-off... thank you for coming to my ted talk :)

Kokomomo6 what about flurry heart? She darn powerful 💜💙🤔

@Fluffs Needs help she's more of sewing, considering her name not so relatable to any, astronomy stuffs

@azurite xox I used Google translate on Italian and it says '' I love cadence'', but cadence is a property of energy and music, not love. Maybe her power is represented by waves?

@Jeresa that's the second name of Trixie, I bet

The other thing I thought of was Harry Potter--there are a LOT of sky/astronomical names in the wizard community, too.

Wait, what about Cadence? She’s probably more powerful than Twilight considering that she’s older and a princess. And Shining Armor? No normal pony can make a GIGANTIC PINK SPARKLY FORCEFIELD AROUND THE CAPITAL OF EQUESTRIA, (Canterlot) WHERE THE PRINCESSES LIVE, RIGHT?

There’s a good chance that Luna or celestia names them

Wow so if i was in the mlp world i could name m h child something to do with astonomy and then super stong

Well sunburst is an actual thing since the sun is a star, and stars can die/explode and since the sun is huge and close to earth, if it explodes, we’d all be dead. Or what’s left of earth anyways.

kokomomo6 but the great and powerful Trixie * rolls tougue * isn't very good with magic ?


I never thought about it but now that I’ve seen this, I feel Zecora would have a part in this


If you have seen the episode 'The perfect pear', in the episode when the children goes to ms.cake she tell them "back when I was chiffon swirls".<br>So I think ponies who has names that are totally not related to their cutie mark, change. Their names..

The original mlp show had cutie marks by their name so they carried it out. Cutie marks and their talents is an mlp friendship is Magic original idea


what if, ponies tend to lean on the characteristic depicted by the name given to them, which then in turn gives them a cutiemark closely related to their name, because their characteristics were determined by the name?

this explains why some have weirdly specific names and cutiemarks, while some who has an actual magical destiny, like twlight or cadence, has a cutiemark far from their names,

and some just don't have such specific names, because they are incapable of leaning to any specific characteristic, such as ratity and/or pinkie pie.


Maybe naming your child in Equestria has a lot more to it than in our world as it's name might play a huge role in what their destiny is and what their personality will be like?


Here’s what I think:<br>Their destiny/special talent is actually hung in the balance of their name given by their parents. If you name your kid Pound Cake, chances might be that they’ll have a cutie mark associated with pound cake (or pounding cake). Their destiny isn’t marked by their name, their name marks their destiny.

Sawtooth: what if someone who sees their desties and can see the future named them?

Me: its pinkie pie


I actually think its the opposite- ponies more or less grow into the names they were given at birth.

Examples include
Scootalo likes to scoot.
Rarity is extraordinarily beautiful and radiant.
Pinkie Pie (Birth name: Pinkamena Diamond Pie) is really cheerful and shiny, as the names imply.

Given that everyone in Pinkie's family has "Pie" as a last name, everyone in the "Apple" family has an apple-related name (Big Mac, Granny Smith, Goldie), it's likely that there are links in some cases


My theory is that they are named based off where they where born, their looks and what they are probably gonna be influenced by at a young age, like if a ponie's parents are bakers, they are gonna learn to bake. Then, their cutie marks, in turn, are related to their names, while some aren't, because it doesn't depend on their future because that is untold. The theory that Celeste names the ponies is also flawed, since you saw that in a episode, Mr and Mrs. Cake named their kids by themselves and you can tell that easily.


It actually follows VERY CLOSELY (r: same way) how most horses are named. It doesn’t have so much of what they do or will do as it’s a combo or reflection of the parents.


Actually, i made a little theory on that.
You can think that someone gives names, and you can think that someone uses magic to get perfect names for everypony.
But think about that - Magic itself giving parents names for their children, subconsciously. Like, magic makes everypony ability to sing and dance together unprepared, even if it hundreds of ponyes.
I make that theory long ago, and its making almost everything in MLP clear. Magic itself sentient.


I would love for you to do a remake of this video. I have been wondering if Celestia doesn't name the kids and the parents don't get a subconscious message of some sort, (that is to say if the parents do just name them randomly) do the parents control their child's destiny? I'm thinking about Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. "We were thinking...Flurry Heart. To remember the occasion." It seemed more casual then, "This is going to be her name because Celestia spoke to us earlier." Or something like that. Just an idea I was thinking about.  Edit: (decides to watch caned cream) (sees video on subject) Ah.


If celestia did name them just imagine the conversation wit the parents

Celestia:Name her Sweet Drops
Mom/Dad:but we were gonna name her—
Celestia:NAME HER SWEET DROPS

"this ones Zecora"
"oh thats kinda- :// u sure??"
"did i fuckin' stuter?"

@Puddle Slime 10,000! people are pottymouths

“Name her sweetie drops or I yeet coronavirus at you”

Imagine somebody telling you to name your kid silver spoon

Mom/Dad: How about Sweetie Drops?
Princess Celestia: Okay, but remember to call her “Sweet Drops” for short
(some time in the future)
Lyra Heartstrings: What are you talking about, Bon Bon?
Sweetie Drops: My name isn't Bon Bon. It's "Special Agent Sweetie Drops" or Sweet Drops for short, as Celestia wanted to call me. I work for a super-secret anti-monster agency in Canterlot, or at least I did until the bugbear went missing from Tartarus a few years back.

ya... I don't think Celestia would say that

Me sweetie bell and apple bloom in Minecraft

Mom/Dad: but-
Celestia: uses stare
Mom/dad: nods
Celestia: smiles

Mom/Dad: but-

@Just.Your.Average.Viewer. starswirl Named them

Cadance is actually no exception when it comes to being named by the cutiemark
I'm late to the subject so sorry if someone has already set this correct.
Cadance her full name is Mi Amore Cadenza
Amor is featured in her name which means 'love' in Italian

Actually you kind of could've guessed that Cadance would have a foal.
Cadance means a soothing rythmic sound.
When I first looked this up, one of the first examples that was given to me was:
"For example: A soothing tone of voice that a mother uses when reading stories to a small child."
Coincidence? I wouldn't know though


THEORY: The parents name their child anything they want. So, cutie mark destiny stuff gives them their cutie mark that is similiar to their name.


Granny Smith apples are the type of apple most often used in apple pie. I understand what you were going for, but that example is a little flawed.


I noticed a sight pattern with pony names and what kind of pony they are, like earth ponies have food/earth related names, unicorns have space/magic names, and pegasuses have weather names. There are, of course, exceptions to these, but it’s just something to think about-


“Maybe they were just born with labels”<br>I choked on my water😂😂😂

“Maybe they were just born with labels”
I choked on my water😂😂😂

Everyone one knows ponies are just sentient plush toys. They obviously were born with labels, more specifically labels on their packaging.

@Viola To be completely honest, we are all born with labels to some extent, the labels our parents bestow us.

Yeah 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

YOU DID WHAT!?!?

ehehe...sorry but i just didnt know you could even do that


Fun fact : candenciae means love in latin so cadence’s name still suits her

and her full name is Mi Amore Cadenza with Mi Amore meaning “My Love”


I have a theory! As we all know cutie marks have magic, so I want to say that the cutie mark sees into the destiny of the pony and try to match the cutie mark to their name. I know it’s not the best theory but it’s all I could come up with.


‘An incredible amount of foresight’<br>Pinkie pie:Are you challenging me?

‘An incredible amount of foresight’
Pinkie pie:Are you challenging me?


mrs cake explains it. they get born with sort of generic names given by their parents and can sometimes change them to match their cutie marks. ponies which are in families can also get a family name like pie, cake, or even more generic human sounding ones like mccolt, or a name that generally relates to their familys profession like the apple family. thats it.


In Season 7, Episode 13, The Perfect Pear, there was a conversation like this:

Mrs. Cake: But did you all know that it was your mom that convinced me to pursue baking?

Apple Bloom: But isn't your name Mrs. Cake?

Mrs. Cake: Not always...Long ago, when I was Chiffon Swirl, I had no idea what was I meant to do.

And so on.
Soooo, I guess, they sometimes want to change their names, when their cutie marks appear?
I get that she got married, but still that should change only her last name, right? How did she go from Chiffon Swirl to Cup Cake?

There was also the line that while Big Mac's mom was named "Pear Butter" her nickname "Buttercup" was what everyone knew her as and thus what she'd been known by.  Another example could be Princess Cadence as before Twilight realized her brother was marrying her old foalsitter her question was; "Who is this Miyamore Cadenza?"  If Cadence didn't choose to go by "Cadence" rather than "Miyamore Cadenza" it's likely that no one would even know the difference, especially as Chrysalis chose to use the fancier name when impersonating Cadence and Cadence chose to simplify it during her wedding

didn't she turn to mrs cake after she married Mr Cake

Kate Pūce no because prencess Twilight had her name before she had her cute mark. PS watch more episodes of My little pony.

She got married to Mr Cake so now her name is chiffon Cake

Kate Pūce no I think after she got her mark she got married after a couple of years


The webcomic goblins explicitly has the clan fortune teller naming all the kids. This did backfire with Dies Horribly.

However, we have repeated instances of ponies changing their names after certain life events. Both apple butter and chiffon swirl went by buttercup and Mrs cake respectively. Similarly, there is a tradition of evil personalities having their own independent name. See nightmare moon, daybreaker, and midnight sparkle.

However, you also have the case of enclosed cognition. Ponies try to live up to their names. this is helped by the predominance of family businesses and ponies taking after their parents.

Also, of course people change over the course of their life. One flashback shows Stinking Rich, father of filthy rich, and he looked like a ditch digger when he first started his store.


Well, here's my theory (very unlikely)

Maybe parents change the pony's names once they get their cutie marks while some parents just don't


Hey so I have a thing: In our culture we have 4 names. Our standard English name, then our iñupiaq name. Mine translates into pretty rock, and growing up (and even now) I like to collect pretty rocks. And not only that but I feel like I live up to my name physically. I’m strong, and pretty.


honestly I think it's probably all a combination of everything. Some ponies change their name, some don't, some have thematic names based upon their family (like the apple family), some may have gone to Celestia, and any mix or match of these scenarios. like maybe celestia doesn't visit every newborn, but visits when requested, while others get their name out of a family line or otherwise.


granny smiths cutie mark DOES relate to her name. a granny smith apple is often used in pies, which explains that. also, granny smith apple's are green, witch explains her colour.

Hazel Priestley-King I was just going to comment that XD

Hazel Priestley-King     Granny Smith is actually called "Lady Smith" but AppleJack, AppleBloom and BigMac call her Granny Smith cuz she is their granny! That's why we know her as Granny Smith but that's not her real name!! (Sorry to crush your theory about cutie mark relating to her name)

Hazel Priestley-King  granny smith was called lady smith

Hazel Priestley-King yes granny smith pie in shops??

Susanna Luhtanen actually there is a theory that Sweet Apple was her name but then she got married and changed it and gave the name to her daughter. The mother of AJ (not sure if anyone else believes it but me but.....)

Not only that but in movies/cartoons/series you see alot of Granny's making apple pie.

Maybe her name used to be Sweet Apple (as in Sweet Apple Acres). Then she married someone named Smith, and ended up as Granny Smith when Big Mac was born...

oooooow so cool wueyd86yryhf384ufr sorry cat got on key board opp

+Suiciderification probably called Gran from birth, and when she became older.

I hope her name wasn't granny smith when she was still a filly.... O.o


did he forget about mrs cake? she said in the episode "perfect pear" that she was formally known as shiffon swirl which has nothing to do with her cutie mark, but it did make sense when her name was mrs cake.


Maybe for a little while new born ponys have the pony’s name where the cutie mark is but it goes away once the parents/guardian knows the name


I like to think that maybe some parents wait until they find out what their children’s personalities are like. Not all but at least some.


I know I’m late to comment, but… in one of the songs, Mrs Cake said that she and her husband CHOSE Pound and Pumpkin’s name at the baby shower. Cadence and Shining Armor chose Flurry Heart’s name as well, but I can’t help thinking it might work differently with a princess.

What if, for normal ponies, there is some magical pony, creature, being, or force that creates a sort of name drawing game / ceremony? For instance, when Pinkie Pie was conceived some of the unpicked name options could have been Balloons, Surprise, Pudding Pie, Candy Pie, or who knows what else? I could just see there being a bowl of names on papers delivered to the shower for the parents to draw from, or even a more magical version of that concept. It would be interesting, and make the most sense given the canon dialogue.


Babies are born, and they tell their parents their name like :
"Hey mom, my name is Flurry Heart"
"Okay thx Flurry Heart!"


adding my headcanon 5 years after upload too:

There are ponies whose talent is naming babies. It's a normal profession in Equestria. Upcoming parents choose to visit such a pony, get their input and then decide to name their child accordingly. Or not. Those ponies can't look into the future of the baby, they don't know what their Cutie Mark will be.


Cadance named her own baby so I dont think it works

But heres my Theory:
This whole show is fiction right? So anything could be true. But What if ponies were born with some sort of secret destiny ability thing like you said Celestia did. Without knowing , Starswirl would have been in limbo and sending some sort of force in there brain like " NAME HER LYRA HEARTSTRINGS" and it haunts them until her names Lyra heartstrings. In My head , it works

But its probably not true lol


My theory:<br>The pony's are given their name by the parents at birth and once the pony's get their cutie cutiemarks it is up to them if they want to change their name or not

My theory:
The pony's are given their name by the parents at birth and once the pony's get their cutie cutiemarks it is up to them if they want to change their name or not


In all seriousness, my real headcanon is that ponies display a lot of their personalities and perhaps even a lot of their talents at birth.

For instance, Pound Cake pounds on everything, and displayed this from the start. Pumpkin Cake is just an endearing name that matches Pound Cake. Or perhaps she saw a pumpkin somewhere and immediately started sucking on it, more vigorously and enthousiastically than anything else, causing that name to come up in the Cake's minds, and stick.

Fluttershy could have flown gracefully around during her flying surge, instead of displaying speed and agility. Instead of the fast wingbeats most ponies use during their initial flying surge. Fluttershy's wingbeats could have been slower. She'd also abruptly fly up into the air when excited. She could also have displayed her characteristic shyness from the start, for instance by shying away and crying every time somepony other than her parents came too close to her.

Pinkamena Diane Pie was named as such because she was born pink. Boring and uninspired as they were, her parents could have simply used their own last names as her last names. But, in all of their boringness, they still thought it to be special that she was the only pony in her family who wasn't completely gray, and so they made her first name out of her color: PINKamena. Pinkamena Diane Pie then later changed her name to Pinkie Pie because it reflected her personality better, and was considerably less cumbersome. Or perhaps it was a nickname that stuck with everypony, and she's come to like it and always use it herself.

Applejack could have been named as such because, while everypony else in her family specialized in certain types of apple or certain dishes you could make with apples, and displayed that part of them at birth by immediately taking a liking to said dish, Applejack took great interest in absolutely everything related to apples. Anything you would show her that's made of apples, her eyes would start twinkling and she'd start getting grabby.

Rarity could have been one of the few foals who didn't cry at birth, but instead displayed calmness and grace. She also immediately took a special liking to anything shiny and valuable. Her parents thought of her as a very special foal for that reason among many others, and decided to call her Rarity.

Rainbow Dash's initial flying surge could have started stronger than that of any other pony, and never ended. She could have displayed her exceptional speed from the start, and along with her rainbow mane, a catchy name struck her parents: Rainbow Dash.

Twilight Sparkle could have been named as such because she was born during twilight, and her colors beautifully matched the color of the sky. Her magic surge could have started earlier and stronger than that of most unicorns, and every time she would cast a really powerful spell, sparks would go flying off her horn.

@Celline Martins This comment was made 4 years ago, Flurry Heart wasn't even born yet.

@LunatheMoonDragon didn't you see how long it took for Cadence and Shining Armor to name Flurry Heart?

That's very interesting! Who needs midichlorians, this is the reason. No, seriously, it's so convincing I'd be surprised if it wasn't actually how ponies get their names

Wow. I wonder how long this took for you to type

Wow. I wonder how long this took for you to type

Therm6000 yeah but in the episode pinkie pride the cakes say they chose pound and pumpkins names at their foal shower

Wow, so long. But good. Good job, well said! :D

Wow, so long. But good. Good job, well said! :D

@Flufflepuff lol I would be named.screw.ball

@Flufflepuff lol I would be named.screw.ball

@LunatheMoonDragon no.like it could be appearance or something the foals repeatedly do

Or Twilight could have her first name because her mom's name was Twilight      °^° •-• 😂

So if my younger friends had pony names here would be how they got them

Harold would probably get interested when ever Ningago came on on TV, so his pony name would be "Ningy Skillz"

Noah's name would probably stay the same

Owen wouldn't have been too hard to feed, and along with his good luck most of the time, his pony name would be "Lucky Pac"

Duncan is the epic one that always causing trouble, so he would be breaking things on perpese, along with his green mane, his pony name would be "Green Skull"

Briggett is the nice and generous one, so she would comfert and share with other pony babys, so her pony name is "Heart Charm"

Cody is another kind one, so his pony name would be "Butterscotch"

Izzy is crazy and funny, she would try and do the sonic rainboom even though she's not a pegises, so the perfect pony name would be (I'm not stealing, it's just the first thing that popped into my head) "Scroow Ball"

Jude is with peace and love and all that, he would have shown Changelings can give joy too, the best pony name is "Peaceful Glow"

Gwen would not have done any crying, she would just stare at her own parents, and get interested when one of her parents were playing a horror game, a good pony name is (still not stealing) "Flutterbat"

Beth loves bugs, so she would have loved Changelings because of the bug wings, her pony name is "Flutterbuss"

Lushana is the opposite of Beth, Lushana is scared of bugs, she would have shown her love for all things shiny and apples, a good pony name is "Apple Gem"

Cortnee is smart and reresponsible, following all rules, but I don't really know a good pony name for her, you replyers diside.

I kind of agree with you if you don't walk up I just explain the main six but I still can't figure out Fluttershy or Rarity if somebody does tell me like I'm checking this video Everyday from now on just to see if somebody will respond so please

Nutiful...makes perfect sence. My theory comes alongside yours.

Nutiful...makes perfect sence. My theory comes alongside yours.

This is unlikely. How long do ponies go without being named, then? Are they just named after the first action the manage to perform after being born? The things babies do and the things adults do are totally different. Like just because a baby slobbers everywhere doesn’t mean they’re going. To grow up with a super slobbering ability.

+Therm6000 I have an OC that I've created a few pony generator renderings of, but I'm still not quite sure exactly what I want him to look like. His name is Midnight Edge, and I know exactly what his cutie mark is going to be. A sword-shaped constellation that uses the moon as the hand guard, and the stars around it form a sword that is going to be outlined. His story is that he was born soon after the clock struck midnight, 1,000 years before the first episode of MLP in the early days of the Crystal Empire, and after arriving home, the first thing he did was play with a knife. Not going to tell you how he catches up with modern times, but that will be in my fan fiction (if I ever get it written and uploaded to the public). But yeah, that's how my OC got his name, and how it inspired the cutie mark.

@Therm6000 you make big comments... brain hurt with all the reading

@Therm6000 Well, theories are estimates, so it wouldn't matter if it were true or not. Like you said, we may never know if they are. Most theories are behind-the-scenes things, or things Hasbro hides from the episode.

@Therm6000 Dude, I am just kidding. I understand the whole theory creating stuff, and I also do it myself sometimes. But I think that some people just get a bit too absorbed in creating theories, and forget about the fact that it is still just a show. Now don't get me wrong, I think that theorizing can be very good, but please keep in mind that this is still a show created by humans, and not a 'real' world, although I hope it is myself. I am also a bit sorry for my last comment. I was kinda bored, and when I am bored, I start doing 'stupid' stuff, which is kind of unnecessary.

@*****
It doesn't matter if our theories are true or false, or even if we'll ever know whether they are. It doesn't matter if it ever shows up.

That's not important for theorizers. Like I said before, the point is just to get the show to feel as immersive as a real world is. A good theory disproves the existence of a plothole. And a world without plotholes is a world that feels real. Heck, a good SHOW intentionally leaves things open, exactly so that people can theorize about things. This holds true even if they never reveal the 'truth'.

Until canon is revealed, any headcanon is just as valid as the unrevealed canon would be by the time it was revealed, to the viewer that believes in said headcanon.

@spook woop
You're missing the entire point of theorizing about a show. And that's trying to get the show to make more sense than the creators intended it to, or even figuring out the things they intentionally left for us to figure out. thereby making the show's world more realistic to us and enriching the experience. If we can fill the gaps of unexplained things with headcanons, the show's realism remains intact.

If a logical headcanon for something can exist, that alone means there was never a plothole in the first place. Plotholes are not logically explainable by any means. They're direct contradictions that singlehandedly make the world impossible, not just unexplained things.

+Therm6000 Or, but this is just speculation, this is a show created by humans, who gave the ponies names fitting their personality etc, and didn't think about the plot holes they created that way. But then again, this is all just speculation.

@Therm6000 Your first sentence, "In all seriousness" alongside your icon is perfect.

@***** more like
Fluttershy: was a weaker flyer and not much blah blahs

@Therm6000 i love your theory and totally agree with that, it sounds realistic and it makes perfect sense.

@Therm6000 You gave this a lot of thought, I love your theories!

@Therm6000 You gave this a lot of thought, I love your theories!


What if Luna goes into their dreams and tells the parents what they should name their kids ?


Omg. Great alternate name for pinkie pie...Helium!!! That would be perfect and still match up with her cutie mark!


I think some ponies change their names when they get their cutie marks and some just happen to have a cutie mark related to their names. I think this because in the episode where we see the story of apple jacks parents, mrs cake said she had a different name until she discovered her talent for baking


I think maybe the mom has a vision of the future with their child having a cutie mark, so she calls her filly/colt by their cutie mark. For example, Twilight Velvet got a vision when having Twilight Sparkle with her pink sparkle cutie mark, and decided to name her “Sparkle” but Night Light thought it was not enough so he added in the first name of his wife, Twilight, to make it “Twilight Sparkle”. I’d go the same with Shining Armor but differently. Twilight V. would see him as a colt with Twilight and the Royal Guards and that vision made Twilight name her little colt “Shining Armor.” Hope you like it! If you would like, give me an idea for the next pony you would like for me to do their name story


What about this theory: they have legal names that are just never mentioned, but the name that everypony uses is a nickname.

Another theory: the ponies name their children after saints in their world. For instance, we have "Michael", "James", "Thomas", "Christopher", "Patrick", etc. in common occurrence in our world because they are also names of saints in the Bible.

rings heaven
St.Patrick:hello
Me:is this the crusty crab?
St Patrick: no,this is Patrick.

*rings heaven*
St.Patrick:hello
Me:is this the crusty crab?
St Patrick: no,this is Patrick.

Like how pinkie pies real name is Pinkamena Diane Pie


The whole theory was crushed after we saw flurry heart named in “The Crystalling pt.1”


I always thought it was something similar to Warrior cats where they get a name which changes to match their Cutie Mark more once they gain their cutiemark but obviously this wouldn't fit everypony


i think it's just like the sorting hat in harry potter. it gives you the house that you chose. so if a pony have a name like silver spoon she'll subliminally think that it's their destiny and when time comes they will get their cutie mark.

the cutie mark crusaders were indecisive about their destiny and anxious about it. just like harry in the sorting scene. but when harry set his mind that he will not get slytherin, he got into gryffindor.

like ron knew he was gonna be in gryffindor as in his family everyone is gryffindor.

hermione read books about hogwarts and the heroism of dumbledore so she wanted to go to gryffindor.


I know this is old, but I believe ponies get their names, not when they're born, but after they've done something as babies that gives the parents an idea or glimpse into who they are. Case in point: Flurry Heart. She broke the crystal heart and caused a severe snowstorm... or flurry to almost overtake the empire. Had me thinking Babies are evil.
If that's the case, I really want to know what Pinkie Pie did as a baby.

I've always seen it as the other way around.... The cutie mark appears when the pony makes a personal discovery of who they are. I've always figured that their name influenced who they later become. Rarity learned to love rare gems partly because she herself had such a rare and beautiful name. Fluttershys name caused her to withdraw into herself out of shyness until she learned the love of animals. <br>A name can be a big influence in a childs life. Different aspects cause ripple effects.

I assumed that there was an innate connection between the name, personality, and cutie marks and this all came together to serve as a unique identifier of each pony


I think it's the cutie mark that always tries to find some sort of special connection to the pony's name


Theory: Remember how Luna could read a pony’s personality, I believe that she knows how a newborn is like so Luna names them based on their personality. Like for example: Scootaloo’s cutie mark doesn’t match her name but she does like to ride the scooter


I think it’s the other way around, and the CMC kind of prove it. The cutie marks manifest in ways that fit that pony’s nature/true talent. Like the Apple family mostly have apple-themed marks bc their talent is connected to their family, but as we know, Applejack associates hers with belonging with her immediate family on the farm - so her Apple-theme manifests as a group of apples together. Cheerilee has little flowers of cheer, but she understands them to represent the smiles of her students - and that could easily have manifested a different way. ponies understand or encounter their destinies first and the mark manifests as a representation of that destiny. Since it’s their destiny, it’s only natural that it would fit them.

All that and forgot the CMC - they get the same cutie mark but personalized for their singular traits - it’s not showing their talent (the crusader shield does that) it’s just the personal touch that goes with them specifically. The name-match ponies only underscore this. We see Featherweight’s mark, but we don’t actually find out what he’s good at. It could be he’s a hang glider, or that he’s a painter with a light hoof or a dancer light on his feet. But whatever it is manifests as a feather bc that’s in his name.


Maybe a cultural thing where many parents seek the help of unicorn fortune tellers? That would explain a lot tbh


How do ponies even get their names?

To me, there is a magical source with  foresight that subconsciously tells parents the proper names


Id say Celestia names them and its considered an honor and tradition, but parents still can decide to name their children other names (pinkie pie being an example).

Since Celestia is such an important figure and literally Royalty, there isnt a lot of exceptions in where parents refuse the name choosed by celestia  and just go by what she decided.


Maybe they get named by their appearance, (since almost everyone in the world has a name that goes with their appearance) and then they get their cutie mark from their personality, like if their overprotective, a gate or something. If you want a easier explanation, They get named that fits best with their colors and their cutie mark determines their personality.


There's a problem with that theorie  because in season 6 Cadence and Sining Armour named Flurry Heart so Celestia doesn't name them.


I think that when ponies name there kids, destiny gives them a cutie mark that sometimes relates to the pony's name or character


IMO they get a name, but eventually as they grow a personnality it's meant to change or the pony gets a nickname that gets more used than the name until it replaces it. Maybe some ponies got 5 different names, idk<br>Think about Pean Butter, the Apple sibs mom, she was named Buttercup after she cut the roots with her own dad.

Cutie mark image pony's personality so, maybe, when you are named Swetie Drops you associate yourself with Swetie Drops. Maybe it isn't names which matches cutiemarks, but cutie marks which matches names.

Or parents just want their children to continue their business (that's why all Apple's are named for... apples. If you born in Apple family, your life is obviously connected with apples)

Света Пономарева


I think that most ponies are named when they have their personalities. Like for Rainbow. Not only her Rainbow mane, but also maybe like the baby pegasi she zoomed around the house as a filly and got her name from that. Of course not everybody would do this like Mr and Mrs Cake.


This is just a thought that crossed my mind, but...

So when humans are born, they are given a name, and it sticks with them their entire life unless they get it legally changed. Once you grow up and establish a well defined personality, others might comment on how you "look like a Chris" or "sound like a Bethany". Every once and a while there might be someone who just simply doesn't seem to fit with their name.
What if ponies and their cutie marks work in the same or a similar way? Seeing as earning your cutie mark is when you discover what defines you as a pony, why SHOULDN'T it?

Maybe your cutiemark is just a predetermined characteristic that you have to discover yourself? It would explain why no matter how hard the CMC try to earn their cutie marks, they just can't. Perhaps they are trying too hard and should just let nature take its course.

This whole comment was a mess, but hopefully someone was able to understand it. These are just my thoughts at the moment. Feel free to comment your input.

My Little Twinkie Dash Flurry doesnt have her cutie mark yet!

But before Flurry Heart got her cutie mark, she was already named.

@Terr aria Chicken is best pony. (right after Luna)

@Kristina Meyer Who is scootalo i only know chicken

@Peridot It may be like I said. (First paragraph of my comment)

@Peridot We literally know nothing about Scootaloo's parents or relatives, so we can't exactly make a guess as to why she has the name she does.

@Kristina Meyer If that is so, then what about Scootaloo?

@Lindsey G.  I was kinda thinking something along the same lines. In many cultures names and their meanings are considered very important, and names in general have been proven to affect the way you see yourself.
Also, considering that parents name their children, and children tend to follow in the path of their parents, it makes sense that most foals and fillies would be given a name relevant to their cutie mark before they know what their talent is. In all likelihood, their talent is still along the same line as their parents' (for example, the apple family).
I don't think that would quite account for getting a cutie mark that fits a name perfectly, but it might be a step in the right direction. idk

I got it!
And I agree.

But I'd liked to say this naming thing is a happy accident, but there are no accidents.

Yeah that does make sense because the main six got there's without trying

That's actually a really good theory. I would never think about it if someone hasn't mention anything


My mom had a dream before she gave birth to me were she was chasing a girl with red hair and green eyes who looked like me. She had a dream about me before I was born. She was also calling to me, saying my name. Avyn. (Av-in is how you say it) She had a dream about me seeing what I was going to look like and saying my name before I was born. Maybe that’s how ponies are named.


Maybe they dream about the names? And name their children whatever name they dreamt about.


Science finds that names has impact  on people
Ex: if your name is Kind (I know it doesn’t exist) and you got called kind many times every day your mind will one get it as a trait of your personality and be kind
Or two get fed up with it and go against it


My theory is that magic in Equestria has some sentience, examples such as when rarity got her cutie mark and in my opinion the pie family all having a sixth sense, so maybe the magic of Equestria influence’s the parents when they name there child


They get a name first and then they CAN rename them if their old name didn’t match with their cutie mark. I think

BN: how did they even get their names?

Intro: FRIE-E-E-NDS


I just thought that the ponies were named by their parents and also adopted traits from the family like how everyone in applejacks family works with apples and have names that match. With filthy rich, since obviously sees monry and status as important, it makes sense that he would find the name diamond tiara endearing. Since she has always grown up with money and importance she kinda grew into her name. For the ponies that dont stay in the family business, they probably have names that don't match their cutie mark, or change their names.


I think the names are decided at birth, and the cutie mark forms somewhat based around that name AND their special thing


I have a theory, maybe the name of the pony determines their destiny. Thus the name of a pony (for example Rainbow Dash) would effect what kind of cutie mark they will have (since her’s is a cloud with a rainbow thunderbolt on it and thunder normally connects with speed) I hope that makes sense.


maybe their cutie marks depend on their name? Like for example, take sweetie drops for instance.<br>her parents named her sweetie drops and then her destiny changes her cutie mark to be related to her name.

her parents named her sweetie drops and then her destiny changes her cutie mark to be related to her name.


If celestia did name them all, it would explain why the older bronies don't fit there cutie marks as much. Assuming your other theory is true


I feel like Celestial names them.
Future vision
Has fond in the many ponies she meets
It’s perfect -3-


My only question is, what will the Apple family do when they run out of Apple names? Recycle old ones belonging to deceased family members (kinda like how social security numbers get recycled)?


I believe that the name makes the cutie mark makes the talent. If you name someone Construction Joe, they will have some sort of construction cutie mark, such as a crane, hard-hat, or a toolbox. his talent will be building objects, working with tools, or operating large machinery depending on the cutie mark. some are more symbolic, anything to do with light will cause extreme talent in all forms of magic.

Pinkie has balloons and is got at parties. It’s not true for everyone.


But what about Flury Heart? At the end of the Crystaling episode Kadence said that her and Shining armour were naming their child Flury Heart


"Who knows maybe everyone was just born with labels" pfffff.... LOVE THAT


maybe it's the other way around and the name effect the cutie mark, the parent names the little pony this will then subconsciously effect them as they grow up. this would show that parent has some say in their little pony's future by picking the name. parents I believe can't cheat the system though by naming them for a great destiny like diamond tirara didn't end up ruler of equestria. as well someone with a specific name like cheese sandwich is not locked into life working at a deli. instead, the name casts a wide net that all the possible futures that could fit the name the parents have picked for the kid are on the table and then the little ponys they have the freedom to look to what would best fit them.


I think they get their names from their parents, based off of what their parents do magic wise. Most ponies seem to take after their parents, pinky pie seems to be an exception tho, I wonder if she could have been adopted?


WHAT IF... there was a pony with an incredible amount of power, so he/she can time travel into the future and see the ponies future cutie Mark's just like how starlight went into the past using star swill the bearded's spell


I feel like the name “Amore” would've fit Cadence more, my opinion.

@Mx. Phoenix Boi it’s not Spanish it’s Italian lol

@Nancy Locket
Cadence - The notes at the end of a song.

Cadenza - A part near the end of a song where the performer plays by themselves to show off their skill.

@GWest I think in this context, it's "My Love Cadence," or possibly "My Beloved Cadence," if Italian is at all similar to Spanish in that regard.  "Mi amor" in Spanish is "my love," so I'm guessing that'd be correct.

Her name is Mi Amore Cadenza so you are right 🤣

@Nancy Locket Cadence is typically used when speaking about language, dance, or anything with a rhythm or flow to it.  A language can have a particular cadence, or the steps of a dance, and so on.

@Sydney Vann “Mi Amore Cadenza” is Italian for “My Lover Cadance”, so yeah, there’s that.
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie...
Edit: I’m actually not sure if it means “I Love” or “My Lover” now, can anyone correct me?

@Sydney Vann “Mi Amore Cadenza” is Italian for “My Lover Cadance”, so yeah, there’s that.
*When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie...*
Edit: I’m actually not sure if it means “I Love” or “My Lover” now, can anyone correct me?

@Sydney Vann

Her name literally means “ I Love Cadence “

I’m dead

@Alex Ho You can't just say to a 6-year-old <b>"This is your foalsitter, princess Mi Amore Cadenza"</b> Of course little Twilight would forget her full name and go by her nickname

@Alex Ho You can't just say to a 6-year-old *"This is your foalsitter, princess Mi Amore Cadenza"* Of course little Twilight would forget her full name and go by her nickname

@Sydney Vann I thought it was Mi Amora Mi Cadenza

@Sydney Vann no, it's because she's Mi Amore Cadenza

Hmmmm. Idc what her name should be... I just know I share a name with a magical princess pony of love ahaha

@Mx. Phoenix Boi ''Amore'' isn't a word in spanish, it would have to be ''Amor'' to be considered a spanish word, It is actually Italian :)

@Alex Ho Twilight members her being called Cadence because she was little. She probably never heard her full name.

Beverly Kell I think it is Italian. In Spanish we have "amor" but not "amore".

@Alex Ho Also her name is Spanish for .... My Love Cadence... so it raises questions

Umm her name is actually Mi Amore Cadenza

I sometimes wonder whether or not Mi Amore Cadenza was her actual birth name or a title she later inherit?

I mean, Twilight didn't recognize the name Mi Amore Cadenza, but remembers Cadence.

@Sydney Vann Oh yeah, you're right I kind of forgot her name (･ω･*)ｰ

Cadence's full name is actually Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, so her name is technically Amore. However, I believe they called her Cadence because it just sounds better when paired with the title she later on receives (Crystal Princess).


Maybe when they get their name's Celestia finds out what their destiny/cutie mark is gonna be because their cutie mark reflects their destiny and when Celestia made Twilight an alicorn princess she knew that was her destiny


BTW granny smith's name and cutie mark actually do have a connection since the best apples to use for apple pie are called granny Smith apples


It’d make sense if the names are connected to the family, and traits and or skills they are shown to have as babies or fillies. It could also be that their cutiemarks tend to match their personalities and names not the other way around.


In the Crystalling part two, Cadence says that they were thinking of the name Flurry Heart, so i guess the parents just name their kids, but that doesn’t explain how names and cutie marks line up...


I think that the parents thought of the kids future and name them and then when they got their cutie marks they kept their names.


I think it’s Lina who does it she goes into the dreams of the parents and in that way she can whopper in names I think it more logical then celestia <br>Think about it when the parents are dreaming about there kid luna could see and she could also use magic to see what talent they will of might have that way she can help parents dicide for a name

In the real world, there is a job called a "birth certificate clerk" which is basically a person who writes out someone's birth certificate and the info to go along with it (your name, place of birth, gender etc)

So what if in equestria there are ponies that have this job but the only difference is that they posses a skill/magic that lets them know the name of the baby pony, for example let's say this was a job that was mainly performed by unicorns, in their training they probably learn a very difficult spell that can predict the most appropriate name for a pony (bare in mind that is all the spell does, it doesn't say what the ponies cutie mark or "destiny" is going to be, just their name plain and simple)

So yeah that's what a think, a pony giving birth would not only have a midwife in the room but also a birth certificate clerk (or maybe their role had a different name like "name giver" idk) and also I don't think that the name would have to be mandatory, like if the name giver pony said "the name of this filly should be snuggle bear" and the parents didn't like that name, then they could name the pony something else if they really wanted to, but I would guess in equestrian culture that going by the "name giver" ponies suggested name is the most appropriate/well-recieved way to go haha

Also if a pony grew up and wanted to change their name they could obviously do that to lol


Ok so there’s a lot of ponies all over equestria. So maybe celestia goes to most of them but they forget a few. So the parents have to name them themself


Pinkie Pie seemed liked she knew a lot about babies when she was excited to look after Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake. She also seems to know Ponies histories really well. She also has her Pinkie sense. As the Brony Notion has stated before, there are other Earth Ponies with Pinkie (or whatever their name is) sense. So what if certian Earth Ponies have the ability to see into a ponies future and pick a name. Like how some unicorns or pegusy (How do you purally spell Pegasus?) can become alicorns. This would also explain why not all Earth Ponies have a sense of the future. Maybe it's more commen to have a sense of future in Earth Ponies than it is for a unicorn/pegisy to have the magic potential to be an alicorn. Wait... did I just come up with a valid theory?


“How do ponies get their names?”

well, how did you get your name? THATS HOW THEY GOT THEIR NAME.

when I was born i decided to name myself Mini and my parents decided to name me a Chinese name called Ngan Tsz ching

@Puddle Slime 10,000! i was born with it

My only problem with the whole Celestia names them theory is that if their names were an indication of what their cutie marks were going to be, no one would sit around wondering what their special talent is. They would already know what they would grow up to do and what their cutie marks would look like.


Sweetie Drops was born with a tag that says “Sweetie Drops”.

Then why do ponies like Lyra call her Bon Bon? Simple, Slice of Life. Not the pizzeria in the LOL universe, the 100th episode of MLP. Sweetie Drops was actually a secret agent who tried to well, capture a Bugbear.


First I agree pony's probably get a stand in name and it may change or get a longer name later on in life. Ones name may even come from something related down below:

I believe the names comes from either ones (color coat/mane, family related name, special talent, personality, season one born in, or a pony made item/food.

   Pegasus-could be related to something related to the sky.
   Earth- could be anything related to land. Like (ground, plants, animal, diamonds and etc.)
   Unicorns- could be something related to space (star or planet)or a certain time(dusk, twilight, sun, moonlight, night, dawn) or even shine, glimmer, sparkle, or diamonds related.

Ms.cake did say she had a different name before.


My oc is named roxy and has a skull and crossbones cutie mark.

She is the granddaughter of queen chrysalis, and is half changeling, half pony.

Some people might not like this, but she's an alicorn. (Some people think alicorn oc's are annoying and stupid)

Because she is a hybrid, she is capable of the most powerful magic, including spells that were banned by Celestia herself.

She has a light pink coat, hot pink mane and tail, and cyan wings.


I like how you made sweetie drops who I prefer to call bon bon because she’s my favorite mlp character so far a example


I created my character in pony creator! Her name is  String glimmer. Her cutie ark was a neon ribbon. I think your theory is right.

•☆Dупаsту GІіммег☆•


I'm not really in this fandom anymore, but a theory I think is nice is that there is a group of people blessed by celestia, one in each town hospital, who can read the future so they can name kids accordingly


Well, we know the parents have alot of relationship with the names. If your family is known for star cutie marks, you would name your child "corn maze" so, usually the parents do something within their field and the kids pick up interest. The family is known for speed,"rainbow dash', your family is shy and Pegasi, "Fluttershy", you guys know magic and astronomy, "twilight sparkle", you guys know fashion? "Rarity". Then, once they get the cutie mark it just kind of fits. The only acceptions are Applejack's family, pinkie pie, CMC, shining armor, Cadance, but other than that, they all fit. Even discord fits his name.


Like you said maybe they are told their child’s name self-consciously and you know who can go into peoples dreams that’s right

Princess Luna!!!!!


I still remember kid me thinking that I was born with a label, <b>literally</b>

I still remember kid me thinking that I was born with a label, *literally*


The parents seem to name their kids like we would name a cat or a dog based off of appearance or personality and maybe they are born white or grey and slowly get more and more colour as they get older until they find something they are passionate about to match (separate ideas and I'd need someone to delve deeper into them) I would ignore the main six as they are all destiney


Or maybe they’re parents name them and they have a purpose and they focus on it their entire life
