what if whatever the parents name their kids, destiny corresponds to what they have named them? destiny as an entity learns the names of the new ponies and makes sure their destiny will match their name, as their name will match their cutie mark.

Maybe its because what there name is might be a word for a talent and the body of the pony knows it but not the brain of the pony so  the pony body fined a cutie mark based on the name and gived the pony it when it did some thing to get it and the also fined the picture for the talent and cutie mark so the pony knew what her or his talent was. And sorry for the long sentence

theultimateusukfan, im with you. I believe that Celestia can't name them, because in the epispde where Cheese Sandwich appears, the first song they sing is about how awesome Pinkie Pie is. One line quotes: " She planned our first floal shower where WE chose pound and pumpkins names." , said by the Cakes.

theultimateusukfan Yea like sweetie drops or Bon Bon has candy drops as a cutie mark. The cutie mark responds. When the pony does something similar to the name, a spirit gives them the cutie mark.Like if Celestia has great power, than she could probably watch over every blank flank pony and when the pony does something amazing and similar to the name, than Celestia paints a cutie mark, and gives it to them!

@Gnartic Warfare Well, "zephyr" by its definition refers to a "soft, gentle breeze" or "any of several delicate soft yarns, fabrics, or garments, usually of wool," (per dictionary.reference.com.)

So the re-occurring theme of these definitions we see here is "soft" and "delicate." That really suits their family well, considering how soft-spoken and quiet their family is, though Zephyr inherited his namestake through a different interpretation it seems. Instead of being a modest and shy little guy (lel rhymes), he seems rather out-spoken and brash. We actually get to see his "soft and delicate" nature through his insecurities though. He's so afraid of failing that he refuses to see thing through to the end. He has such a gross anxiety of being ridiculed that he does what he can to either get out of work, or to "make it better," and whenever his efforts go "unappreciate" he uses that as his excuse for why things didn't work out. A sort of self-preservative "It's not me! It's them!" reaction.

It's natural for people that are out-spoken and charismatic to have some sort of anxiety that forces them to act confident so they don't appear weak. It's generally referred to as "false bravado," and it's definitely something we see Zephyr exhibit :P
Ponies: be careful what you name your foals! You may be giving them severe social anxiety without even realizing it!

Guess I shouldn't make an OC called "Broken Home" then, huh? xD

@Gnartic Warfare Waiting to name your child is something that takes place in the real world too. Some islanders even believe that the infant doesn't even have a soul until it's around five.
So what this at least reveals a new fact for us to work with at least :P But it still doesn't explain much towards the name-to-destiny ratio xD Seems almost as if ponies just receive some sort of "divine inspiration" when they go to christen their offspring and that they just know what their name should be from an unseen force of destiny. I accept no other explanation for why a pegasus was named Scootaloo xD

Well, if anyone seemed to pay attention to the latest season's start. Shining Armor named his daughter in the final minutes, suggesting ponies will actually hold off naming their children until they exhibit a personality trait or perhaps interest, whatever. Course some might name them right off the bat if their name is inconsequential like in the Pie family, thus resulting in Pinkie's elder sister being named Maud Pie for example, or any member of the Apple Family.

@The Desert

Uuuuuuggggggggghhhhhh, I had such a long gorgeous comment typed up explaining why Featherweight was my least favourite character and going on a journey of discover that lead to me realizing something ground-breaking about him that makes him one of my favourites, but I clicked outside of the notifications box and it deleted the entire thing, so I'll just skip back to my point:

The word "Featherweight" has three definitions, being light in weight, a class of Boxer, and someone or something of insignificance. After careful consideration, the only one of these that could make sense is the "insignificant person" definiton, and it proves that while Destiny can be sweet, she can also be a cruel, cruel mistress. Until we see Featherweight taking an important role or having a feather-related talent, we'll know that he is literally destined to be unimportant and he has no significant talent. 10/10 character design - Featherweight nominee for Darkest Pony.

Pipsqueak, I'd like to see his cutiemark. And everyone's cutiemark is simple, you made a elaborate conclusion about Derpy's.

Just remove the spaces in there and it should take you straight to the image - that's the one I was talking about C: I feel so accomplished!

@Mini Microsoft Plus

You. I like you.

I really like that idea that they are not Queens because that role is already taken, what are princesses known for being? Daughters of the proper rulers of a kingdom. We've seen even regular unicorns capable of performing great magical feats such as banishing creatures into another dimension - who is to say that if an entity was powerful enough they could exist almost extra-dimensionally through-out the MLP universe. A sort of omnipotence, if you will. I've also heard that according to the "Journal of the Two Sisters" book, Celestia and Luna were born Alicorns already and did not have to attain princesshood. What could justify this more than their parents being extremely powerful being themselves?

They control the sun and the moon and represent balance in the land. They both are capable of omni-potence to a degree (We see that Celestia is able to monitor Twilight's every move, and Luna is able to even monitor dream her sister's dreams). Celestia even took over the role of raising the Moon when her talent is supposed to be with the Sun (great power exists in these two indeed - I would wager that Luna could raise the sun, if needed). For these two immortal goddesses we have to ask, "What could transcend THAT?"

Creation. Destiny. Their entire spatial dimension. Their entire possibility for any choice and the consequences of those choices as well. All that was and all that could be - we see that ponies control just about everything within their world (things that are natural occurances in ours such as the rising and setting sun, the weather, death, and even the creation of our world), so we can safely assume that things such as Destiny would be manipulated by a conscious being(s) as well. The same thing applies for their creation as well - for them to have a spatial plane to even exist in, somepony(-ies) had to have created it.

I think that these entities were - in fact - Celestia and Luna's parents, and that they're the proper King and Queen of Equestria. That they are so powerful they exist outside of the ponies' dimension and control literally all things that occur in their world. (Maybe the Everfree forest was where these two transcended into Gods and that's why that is the only place that has "unnatural occurrences" that happen without the influence of ponies? Imagine it as a type of scar left on the world and some of their residual magic is what made the place the way it is - that's why everything that happens there doesn't need the influence of ponies!

But hey - that's just a theory. A PONY theory! Thanks for watching!

And oooooooh, that sounds like a good fic c: I'd be happy to give it a read and proper review sometime. Link to my FiMFiction inbox if you would.
Username: "Technical Difficulty"

I'm glad you actually entertained that thought as well - it's been a theory I've been mulling on ever since I saw that ONE picture (no idea what the name was or who drew it lol) but you could probably find it if you googled "Celestia and Luna's parents" - the way their parents are depicted in the picture made me have a very, "Oh my God, they created everything and control all destinies" feel xD The picture itself features two gargantuan Alicorns helping a filly Luna and Celestia learn to fly. It's large too - very, very large. You'll know the picture when you see it c:

I see. Sort of like in Greek mythology how Zues, Ares, etc. were "born" gods, but ambrosia exists, so it's possible for mortals to ascend.

I guess that works, too.

@Phoboskomboa
 Going by the original first episode that tells a quick backstory, they were both referred to as Unicorns and just that. Alicorn is actually a fandom thing, which became the accepted term for a Pony that transcends their status as a regular unicorn/pegasi/earthen. Essentially speaking Luna and Celestia were basically Unicorns born with wings and exceptional magic gift, originally.
Obviously times have changed, and now thanks to the fanbase, Hasbro calls any Pony like Twilight/Cadence/Luna/Celestia an alicorn.
Where was I going with this... Oh right, yeah, at a certain point someone from Hasbro explained that Luna/Celestia are the only natural born 'Alicorns,' after said terminology was coined.

@Phoboskomboa thats also a great theory! I just agree with ink rose's headcanons because they make a lot of sense to me personally.

@Phoboskomboa thats also a great theory! I just agree with ink rose's headcanons because they make a lot of sense to me personally.

@theultimateusukfan It's possible, but in the Hearths Warming Eve episode they say that it used to be the unicorns' job to raise the sun and the moon, so at one point Celestia and Luna had to have taken over. So it's quite possible that they were unicorns who were especially good at raising the sun and moon respectively.

Their names aren't that unusual, considering. I mean, they are basically just named after the sky and the moon. It would make perfect sense within the logic of the show for ponies named after the sky and moon to have their talents in line with manipulating the sky and the moon. And at a time in history where raising the sun and moon were the domains of the unicorns, it makes perfect sense to name a unicorn something that has to do with it. Especially if their family were already in charge of organizing groups of sun raisers or something.

@Phoboskomboa good point, but @theultimateusukfan has a point as well. Names, names, names. They sure are an important aspect of mlp, ain't it?

@MiniMakeshift c: or Brony Craft
I think it makes the most sense if you just think of the "Princess" title as not meaning the same thing as in our world. It doesn't seem to be a monarchy, where royalty is inherited but rather a magical meritocracy where a pony becomes an alicorn princess once they've reached some level of mastery of some form of magic.

Once ascended, one is more akin to a deity, but none are the queen because in theory they all share the same authority.

@Technical0Difficulty from your other comment referring to the princess's parents, I just want to drop a fact I personally haven't seen discussed before- why do the stick with the "princess" title, and not "queen"? I know that the peoples behind the origins of mlp named them that because they thought queens were generally more "evil" than princesses, (if we look back at nearly every popular Disney princess movie...er, ya get what I mean.) But that aside, what are they're reasons for staying princesses? I have a few ideas-
They are humble ponies who don't wish to become "queens" for the sake of they're kingdom feeling as if they are...taking control, or pressuring them...? That was a longshot.
They have some political pressure in the inside preventing them from such.
Or, there is already a "queen" or/and "king" existing somewhere we haven't seen before.
And who could that be? Their parents. Taking the possibility of a physical "destiny" or "space", celestias's parents would take the cake. But, thats saying that there isn't any other Alicorn candidates. Then again, does it have to be an Alicorn? This is based from the assumption that Alicorns are the only beings able to preform "destiny...seeing?" I have seen a few fanfictions about a physical Death. If; keeping an open mind; beings like him are alive, wouldn't be possible that Destiny itself could be a thing? If so, discarding the (pretty good) theory of self-fulfilling profecy, could Destiny actually help name the newborn? That would explain a lot. Eheh.. I'm rambling, aren't I. I'll just stop there. What do y'all think?

@Phoboskomboa
Lol I don't like to think of it as "right," rather "what was originally intended." I have heard that very same theory way back when too, but I had only ever heard it tossed around comments and forums - never from an official source (what's more official than the lady that wrote the script? lol). I think some fans just came up with the idea of Ditzy Doo being her own independent character because they preferred that name over Derpy, or something like that. In the end, she could still technically existed as her own independent character, buuuuut the fact remains that they were originally the same character :)
Where will the pursuit of knowledge and truth for the sake of knowledge and truth take me next??

@Phoboskomboa

ACTUALLY, Ditzy Doo was originally intended to be the canon name for Derpy according to Amy Keating Rogers herself (the glorious lady who wrote The Last Round-Up).
Here's where she talks on it: /watch?v=jarV_RAz5ys between 51:46 - 52:50 (Or just YouTube search "Nightmare Nights Dallas 2014 - Guests of Honor Panel"

So, no, while many people have created another character named Ditzy Doo, they were in-fact originally the same character, and Derpy was the canon name given to her in honour of us Bronies (though the logo of the Muffin is the only reference to her name we see from Hasbro anymore, it's still their subtle way of acknowledging her as the character we all know and love and forever will be Derpy). :)

@MrRainbowCrash Actually Ditzy Doo was another character entirely that they had planned to introduce eventually, but never got around to it because reasons.

Derpy has always been Derpy. Did they give her name as "Muffins" in the credits of ep 100? 'cause they certainly didn't call her that in the episode.

@The Desert Well, while we know her as Derpy(though it was originally to be Ditzy-Doo). They had to change her name, which is why she is referred to as Muffins in the show now. But getting back on track, her name, the actual one that is, refers to her day-dreaming quality. She loses focus on her surroundings and ends up going the wrong direction(Winter-wrap up) or dropping things during a move,(maybe she forgot to shut the door in the "Pinkie Sense ep"), wasn't thinking about the consequences of jumping on a cloud, messes up mail deliveries, etc etc.  IF ADHD was a real disorder(sorry just seems like bullocks to me) Pretty sure Derps/Ditzy/Muffins would be our poster filly.

But umm, now that its Muffins, its because bitches loves Muffins! SHE LUUUUUUVES MUFFINS, she can even BAKE muffins. SHE IS A MUFFIN connoisseur. Thats all I can think of XD

@some one like i said before, they wouldn't name their foals something so great like that. it'd be disrespectful to the princesses of equestria.

[Headcanon] I've always wanted to believe that Celestia and Luna's parents are the equivalent of "Destiny" and "Space" (in the sense of creation and existence) - perhaps that explains where Celestia gets her troll-like personality! Her mom was a jerk!

@theultimateusukfan which could explain why Trouble Shoes ended up such a klutz despite his hard work, and even talent shown in regular rodeo tricks. Then, destiny intervened with a talent and cutie mark closer to his name, instantly making him clumsy. . . . man, destiny's a jerk O.o  . . .

@The Desert
Well, she has a rather "bubbly" personality. Derpy/Ditzy/whatever you know her as, most likely had her destiny formed to bring smiles to others by being silly and appearing in comedic scenarios. She's just a sweet, little ball of sunshine dropped into Equestria, and while her antics may not always be appreciated for those involved, certainly for anyone looking in from the outside, they love her for it.

Clutzy grey horse's destiny was to bring smiles with her clutzy, yet bubbly personality. :)

Derpy, define her destiny from her cutiemark.

@theultimateusukfan <br>I've actually had the same idea when tossing theories around with my friends. Let's use the example of Diamond Tiara since it's used in this video. Notion assumes that Filthy Rich wasn't planning it to correspond to her cutie mark, but it turned out to be her mark. Destiny however, seemed to think otherwise. I've always felt that whatever name was given to them, they would end up geared towards that label. It's not so much that the parents were planning it (or maybe they were.....) but more like that's how destiny works in Equestria. You get a name and you get paired with the a complementary future. Works for me.

@Epicsting The reason they wanted to give her a different name in the dream was because 'Apple Bloom' implies that she's part of the Apple family. Changing her name was symbolic of the idea of them disowning her, which was the main point of the dream.

@theultimateusukfan You state that as if destiny is an actual entity, and that made me think of that actually being a possibility. Like what if Destiny did have a physical form by the name of Destiny Star or something to that affect? And maybe they were a celestial being that did have that type of affect of ponies in Equestria?

Ok in seriousness lets say that a pony names their foal "Paw Print" or something. Does that imply that the filly is ultimately destined to be something like a veterinarian, or be like FlutterShy? On the note of Fluttershy's name, how did the parents know her specific traits when they where to young to express personality in a way that others can see.

@theultimateusukfan "Sweetie, what shall we call our son" "His name shall be GOD"

@theultimateusukfan "Sweetie, what shall we call our son" "His name shall be GOD"

Exactly! Destiny can be changed by the power of a name. Also, in "Pinkie Pride" the Cakes explicitly state that they chose Pound and Pumpkin's names. Psychic bakery organization confirmed?(see end of this video)

@Epicsting That was a nightmare.  Kids over think and over react to small things when they don't know what will happen.  That was Apple Bloom over exaggerating the possibility of what might happen.

@theultimateusukfan With possibly some social pressure to follow their name given to them. (ex. MLP Season 5 Bloom & Gloom)  Seeing how most families we've seen have children named similar to both parents names and possible talents which they (possibly) got from their parents, etc.

@Epicsting This. During their first foal shower they CHOSE their foals names. I think it is more likely that ponies destinies are shaped by peoples expectations of them. For example with a name like fluttershy, people will assume you're shy and quiet, and an easy target for bullies. So... you get bullied. This causes you to BE shy and quiet, and you end up retreating to earth to live among creatures who don't care what your name is and value your kindness. This is also true to some extent in real life. Children with names that present a certain image are often expected to fill that image. Like, Ashley for example brings to mind a reasonably thin cheerleader type. So if everyone expects you to be a cheerleader type it is much more likely you will grow to fit that image. So if I name my newborn baby pony Bright Star everyone will assume that pony has a bright future ahead of them, probably as a scholarly type. If I name her Daisy May... well... you get the picture. If you are expected to be a certain way you will try to be good at that, if you find that you are you will be granted a cutiemark for it, giving you the skills you need for it to be your very special talent. However if your talent lies elsewhere I think ponies are permitted to change their name when they receive their cutiemark. Pinkie Pie is an excellent example of that. Her full name is Pinkamina Diane Pie. But no one knows her as that... she is Pinkie Pie. Of course this is just a theory... a PONY theory... thanks for reading ;)

My only problem with that is the dream ep with apple bloom. in the episiode they want to call her something diffent when she got her cutie mark, also durring a song with pinkie pie the cakes said for the first foel shower the choose pond and pumkins name.

@theultimateusukfan that would make sense,especially seeing as all of the apple family have apple-related names, and apple-related cutie marks.

@theultimateusukfan that would make sense,especially seeing as all of the apple family have apple-related names, and apple-related cutie marks.

@theultimateusukfan Yeah I was thinking something like that... or it could be simply because the parents name the ponies something the see fit, then the pony is influenced by them so much that they sort of create their own destiny...?

My head hurts...

What if Luna goes into the babies dreams and sees their future cutie marks then goes into the dream of one of the parents dreams and subtly hints to he/she what to name their kid?


The cuties marks are linked with theirs names , theirs designs and theirs talents. To give theirs names ... hum 🤔 let the parents' imagination decide and as I said above, cuties marks are not a problem. What do you think about this ? 😉<br>Oh ! That is a great video !!! 👍🏻👍🏻

or maybe once the ponies were named, maybe their cutie mark will automatically match their names?


If "The Perfect Pear" is any indication: ponies are named at birth, but changing them later is somewhat expected or at least accepted.


I have a Native American coworker who explained to me that in her parents gave her a naming ceremony. She was placed on a blanket outside surrounded by several items significant to her culture. Her parents waits from a distance for a sign of what name to give the baby. (If the baby grabs an item, etc) In my coworker's case, a raven decides to land near the baby so my coworker was named "Raven".

Maybe ponies does something similar during foal showers?

@HitomiNoRyu
Yeah, that'd be more or less my own theory as well.  I think it's also important to consider that humans in some cultures sometimes name there children after traits/virtues or even historical figures that they hope their children will exemplify as they grow, something that indeed often works because of the way most humans self-identify with their own names and to try and emulate the expectations of adults around them based on that name.  Especially since a cutie mark is supposed to represent not just what a pony is good at, but also what makes them feel unique and special about themselves, this only make all the more sense.

The tendency to self-identify with ones own name is also why even if a pony does end up with a talent that is different from their name the form their cutie mark takes to represent that talent will often still have some sort of thematic connection, such as the apple shaped handle of Babs Seed's scissors mark.  Furthermore there is the fact that cutie marks aren't always a literal representation, but can instead be metaphorical.  Cheerilee for example has flowers on her flank, but she's teacher not a gardener.  In a way, however, she is a gardener, but instead of cultivating flowers, she raises and nurtures children.

That's simallar to how fairies in tinker bell get their talents

So the ponies choose their Name/destiny and "forget" them during the search of their Cutie Mark. That's a great theory thanks for mentioning this Story!

OMG I just imagined the Cake Family surrounding their twin foals with bakery sweets and allowing fate to decide which names they would get. (With all the ponies making a betting pool...go death-by-chocolate!)

@HitomiNoRyu Wow that is really interesting!


i think that they usually get their personality from their names originally and not get their names from their personality, since maybe when they knew their name they just decided to go with the vibe since they prob just felt like they should


Ya know.. this whole thing seems kinda messed up. How about we turn the whole thing around? Their cutie marks are dependent on their names, appearance, personality and more! <br>:)

I know this is an old video but I think it would be really cool if you could look at what the comments said and come up with other theories based off of the new info and ideas


I honestly think Zecora comes and names them because she’s kinda a witch but also a psychic sorta


@The Brony Notion You should do an episode about writing in Equestria. Can it be translated, and how come in the Elements of Harmony for example is written with symbols, but the Daring Do book covers are written in English? I would love to see you analyze this in a future episode, thanks! :3


I think their cutie marks go with their names or things that they like to do.


I say ponys get they're names in they're upcoming personality we don't get them for a reason.that reason is that we should learn about the ponys by watching the show more often so we have results if we watch the show after all seasons end when the future comes by the story ends there we must rewatch the show so we can get how ponys get they're names.


Interesting. I suppose I could see princesses naming the children.

Simple.

Their parents name them, they live up to their name and because they’ve followed their name, they now have cutie marks with the same personality as their name (if that makes sense)

me who has "faith" in my name but has trust issues:<br>(ps. many people dont actually call me that its just part of it-)

me who has "faith" in my name but has trust issues:
(ps. many people dont actually call me that its just part of it-)

True bcuz if they follow their name they think of their talent and a cute mark represents a talent


Okay okay hEaR mE oUt

In one of the episodes (don't remember which one) Applejack and Pinkie PIE might be second cousins. Now, no one knows if this is true. BUT I think they are!!
Here's my proof:

Applejack and her family (The Apple's) run an Apple farm, where they make Apple food and sTuFf. Pinkie Pie also lived on a farm when she was younger, but it was a rock farm. SO, they already have farming in common. Then, just listen - Pinkie is part of the PIE family. The Apple's make Apple Pie as one of their foods!! So, I could easily see the two families being related. And, ofc, they are both earth ponies.


It could be Luna coming in there dreams helping. I mean, there both alacorns and probably with the same powers (probably) and it would be easier for Luna. Or they parents could visit Celestia


Do you remember how the The main six all had an episode about how they got there cutie marks I think it’s because they just need them and then they get their cutie marks by  their appearance.


The magic of the universe helps the parents figure this out. Like vision dreams or something. That's my theory


Stop stop stop....
If Celestia give's the ponys names than who named Celestia ???
I mean maby it went likr this
Celestias mom: awww my new baby how shud I name her ?
Celestia:CALL ME CELESTIA MOM !!!

I mean, "Celestia" doesn't exactly refer to the sun specifically... Sure, it could imply celestial bodies, but that itself also incorporates the moon. And we know that her personality, when not presenting to the public, is more jolly and curious, and as a teen she was even somewhat arrogant. So I think they could've named her Celestia based off her appearance- White coat with aurora-like hair, which the comics picture her with even when young, before the flowy mane.

You see
Celestia and luna comes from an Alicorn civilization
So things there work diffrent then in equestria

I think Celestia's mom(Queen galaxia) was incharge of naming ponies before Celestia was incharge of equestria

@peanutbutter  1) I know that they were.
2) I was explaning why I wrote with mistakes.
3) sorry if I was a bit rude...
Bye 😘🤗

@Crina Gîrlă They were just correcting you don’t have to be rude to them

@birth to death roblox my little pony classic rp  i am sorry. I was like 7 when I wrote this + I dont speak eng. I speak ROMANIEN. lets see... you try posting a comment in Romanien with out google translate. Have a nice day 😘🤗

you know that's not how you spell should

@munchkin chalateo name me greenfire limestone darklrerme hellswood.

Actually it’s as simple as her parents were Alicorns and named her.

Maybe back then parents just named their children like parents do irl

I think the naming is something taught to her by her mom or dad, or someone with that power at the time and they named her

@StrawThatBends “NAME ME TWILIGHT SPARKLE RIGHT NOW OR ILL CRY.”

XD I can’t stop laughing and yes I’m rewatching this video

@StrawThatBends MY NAME IS MUNCHKIN NAME ME MUNCHKIN NOW

Omg what if all the babies just scream what their names will be when their born


Let's also remember Pinkie pie came from a depressed family and is still named PINKie PIE. That would leave me two theories:
- Some force gives the names, like you said. That would mean the cutie marks work as prophecies, which would mean Pinkie's family were prepared for her "Rebellion" and knew what was going to happen.
- The parents first give them names related to the rest of the family (Like the Apple family names). The ponies later chose if it suits them or not, that would mean Pinkie's birth name isn't Pinkie but was some rock related name, and then she changed it to feel more comfortable. That would kinda work like dead names. Maybe some force is the one that suggests names? I think Fluttershy would be too shy to name herself SHY (which is funny tbh).


Well, you can see that they got their names before their cutie marks cause of the cutie mark crusaders. (Yes I know this is in 2015 )


Do you remember Cadence saying, “We were thinking...Flurry heart”<br>THAT MEANS SHE OR SHINING ARMOR AND CADENCE NAMED THEIR BABY SO YOUR THEORY COULD BE WRONG.

Do you remember Cadence saying, “We were thinking...Flurry heart”
THAT MEANS SHE OR SHINING ARMOR AND CADENCE NAMED THEIR BABY SO YOUR THEORY COULD BE WRONG.


What if they are named and their cutie mark is just a representation of their name, like sometimes people with the same name are alike. I don't know if that makes sense...

@Celeste yes i am im ghessing you are 2 if you r who i think you r

@Shy GalaxyYT are you shy from any and all kinds of art amin!???

It makes sense my names shy and im really shy


Well, time travel is established to be real and possible, even by amateurs with zero experience like that episode where twilight time travels back to herself


Watch the episode ,, the perfekt pear “ again and you might get an answer to this question. Listen carefully to Ms.Cake


Part of me just thinks it’s just weird pony magic most of the time lol


I think it might have been some one else like queen galaxia Luna and celestias mom cause she is the queen of the galaxy so yeah it might also be celestial and Luna they both have similar powers but they are different elements so they might have gotten it from their mom and if it was celestia she would probably be a goddess instead of a princess 👸 and also if it was her who named her she couldn’t name herself and it might’ve been her mom and she inherited it from her mom and so did her sister that’s what I think.


I know how their name match the cutiemark:when they get their name they start making activities that match their name to get a cutiemark that match them


"Maybe they are just born with labels"<br>That is my new head canon

"Maybe they are just born with labels"
That is my new head canon


I kind of think their cutie mark is a combination of their name and personality. Pinkie Pie's name is actually Pinkithan Pie, because she's pink and a member of the pie family. Granny smith, Applejack, Big mac, Apple bloom, pretty much all of the apple family were named after apples, and their cutiemarks usually have to do with apples, but when they don't (Apple bloom), their name doesn't change to fit it. We were told Diamond Tiara's cutie mark means she can get whatever she wants. That doesn't relate directly to an actual diamond tiara, it corresponds with both that and her name, which her parents could have easily chosen. It sure sounds better than Filthy and Spoiled. What confuses me more is last names. Pie, meaning Pinkie's actual first name is just Pinkithan and everybody just calls her by her full name all the time, whereas Maud they don't call Maud Pie. What does Pie have to do with Rocks? And When the CMC helped Petunia Paleo get her Paleontology cutie mark why did Mr. and Mrs. Paleo have ocean-related cutiemarks? I don't think their first names are made by predictions but idek what's up with them last names


I think the parents have a sort of vision or something, but it would be funny if celestia names everypony. That would explain what the heck she does all day aside from smelling flowers,laughing fake and posing for them preteen magizines


I just figured their parents named them. Maybe they think of what it could become later and name them accordingly.


a bit late to the party, but it could be that cutie marks actually somewhat develop because of what theyre named. like its already in your subconscious that you are one with that name, so when your cutie mark pops up, itll partly be what most people at the time most feel like is the most solid part of their identity. for characters like rarity, i bet if you asked her as a filly what she thought was rare, shed say diamonds, hence why hers are diamonds. its along the same lines as being a kid and being asked who they see as their hero and its usually their parents because its all they know. if you asked what their identity is, its their name because its all they know, and so the cutie marks represent that


"How do ponies get they're name?"

BY THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP-


i screamed
“Celestia”
at least three times while watching this

I think for this time stop trying and look into the future to see their cutie marks and then tell their their parents


🦄Out of the first pony’s he named Lyra is my favorite, who agrees?🦄


This question doesn't have an answer.
This is really just bc the show needed cute names so the writer named them after their cutie mark.
But in the "pony world" I think they don't really look at their names like words that have a meaning, if they would, they would know what they meant to do from the beginning and earn they cutie mark earlier.


I've always wondered about last names specifically. The Pies are all Pies, but why aren't all the Apples, Apples? And what about Rarity? Is her last name Belle? I'm so confused! Lol


I have a theory, maybe the parents have a dream one day before their babies birth and the dream shows which name would be good. Not like directly but they would see their child’s personality and decide a good name. But the problem here is that Luna she controls dreams. So the theory would kinda not make sense


Does anyone remember the episode of hearts warming eve? Well, the reindeers could tell the future and past.

Wasn't that in that one special I never watched? Like The Best Gift Ever or something?


My theory :
I know this might be stupid but-
Maybe the ponies are born with cutie marks, then the parents name them according to their cutie marks but the the marks vanish before other people see it.


Maybe the ones who’s names aren’t related to their cutie marks were named by their parents and refused to allow Celestia to name them. Idk maybe you get a choice of Celestia naming your newborn pony/ponies?


I remember mrs cake used to be called something else I’m pretty sure she said her name in the episode where the apples want to know bout their parents


I'm thinking that names & cutie marks have to do with correlation, not causation. If you name your kid something like Diamond Tiara, she'll be treated differently then if she was named, say, Butterscotch. Someone named Diamond Tiara would naturally lean towards positions of power, of wealth, suited for someone with their name. So, they would end up finding their talent somewhere in that theme of high society.<br>Case & point, Troubleshoes. He was meant to be funny, to make people laugh with his own clumsiness. But his name most likely caused him to to be seen as trouble, as a problem, so that's how he saw himself, and thus how he interpreted his cutie mark when it appeared.

I think the Force theory is the most accurate, but you've forgotten that magic is a regular thing in Equestria, and all ponies have magic (evidenced by the Tirek episode). So perhaps the parents instinctively know what their foals should be named when the foals are born.


Maybe when the parents name them their cutie mark gets decided magically by some great thing or something?


Maybe every hospital is required to have a "naming pony" on hand.


I think that it has something to do with this mysterious entity called "Hasbro" who knows what characters cutie marks, personalities and other things are going to be even before they're born.


MLP fim could follow an old native American tradition of not naming a child until 1 year after birth so that the name matches the personality.


What is celesta tells Luna the name of the new born pony and Luna give the parents a dream relating to that name. this theory also works when she was banished because celesta received Luna's magic so she could lower and raise the moon.

Yeah, great theory! :)
C: Luna, Why they named him Filthy Rich?!
L: That's what you told me.
C: No, I'm not!!!
L: Yes, you did!!
( I know, that's impossible according to timeline :))
I'm just curious, what's happen if the parents prefer another name... " You're under arest because of using ungranted name."

Except no because ponies were getting names before Luna returned from the moon and in that time she was Nightmare moon which means she would not be doing any favors for anyone.


I think they would be named how flurry heart was, she was named flurry heart bc she broke the crystal heart so maybe other ponies did something related to their names??? Rlly unlikely tho but i still like the theory


There's a flaw Pinkie Pie's full name is Pinkamena Diane Pie meaning the ponies have possibly a first, middle and last name just like we do. The name that refers to their cutie mark may just be their first name.


Listening to the friend bit on full blast 🤣


Granny Smith's actually kinda does, since you do put Granny Smith apple into Apple pie, and, well, she is shown to like baking.


You know in one video you said that pinkie pie absorbed discored's magic and it made her special going through her whole life and tha't when pinkie became "pinkie" maybe the ponies cutiemark which comes in the future affects there whole life and the connection between their parents will connect a special power which makes them put on names for their foals similer to their cutie marks

Really I have a lot of theories on sunset shimmer being an alicon should I write it down in the comments of that video?

huh, that's really fascinating!! love that idea


Oh my god .Imagine if humans were born with labels and you had to take them off,why and how did you come up with that?


Maybe this:

They were named by the personalities of the families. I don't assume fluttershy's parents were shy, I think that flutter shy came from the fact that shes a pegasus, (flutter) and shy seems like a pretty name. Pinkie pie was named "pinkie" instead of a type of rock because she was pink, unlike her family. She had the last name of pie, because.. well.. their last names were pie. Idk.. that's my theory. I only explained with 2 ponies, not all of them.


actually, some ponys change their name when the get thier cutie marks. ex. mrs cake used to be chiffon swirl.


I have a theory, I had an idea about twilights name , she was probably named that because she was born in the twilight hour or time if day


theory: it's their surrondings.  a parent names their kid after their surrondings, and the kid grows up exposed to it, and they have no choice but to have that talent


How would ponies’ve named their foals before Celestia?<br>Edit: the end is the best part

How would ponies’ve named their foals before Celestia?
Edit: the end is the best part


I think they are named by their parents and the name may be linked to their destiny or describe there personality


There is something that parents sometimes do when they have a 1 year old, they lay down objects related to careers, whatever the baby chooses is possibly the job that the baby will take in the future, maybe this is what they do to baby ponies?


What about the episode of the Apple family finding out about there parents and they visit Ms.cake
Applebloom asks a question saying “weren’t you always Ms.Cake?” And Ms.Cake says something close to this:
“ Not always, until I got my cutie mark”


In Japan, parents often name their children after traits they deem desirable. There is actually some interesting psychology in this. If you're told something about yourself so many times, you start to believe it! Once you start to believe yourself to be something, you become it. It's for this very reason that you must be mindful of what you tell your children about themselves. A child that is raised in a loving, nurturing environment grows with confidence in themselves. On the other hand, a child that is raised with ridicule tends to grow up with a sense of lack of belief in themselves. They then go on to exhibit self limiting behaviors that reflect their limited beliefs. A child's mind is exceedingly moldable. Perhaps the ponies in My Little Pony eventually take on the character traits that they are named after, if going by this logic. I know, I'm stretching it. It's only a television show. I can't help, but wonder, though.


Maybe we have this all wrong. I think...the names decide their destinies! I mean, I am very sure that the parents name their foals, and maybe the names just decide their cutie marks and destinies!


What if there was an option to get your baby checked for a future cutie mark so you could name them according to their cutie mark? The reason some ponies don’t have a name = cutie mark and some do? It’s like getting your baby be blessed or something?


maybe the mom and dad name them and it changes the kids destiny


Many Luna and clestea look in the future and both agree on a name that fits them but is not totally the same <br>And they many use there magic to GO IN THERE MIND AND SOUL. That's all

Parents name them , keep in mind that names can have influence in their personality , actitud and some other behavior and due to kuty marks is a representation of their choices, desires, likes and important things to them is easy to thing that some names are related with kutie marks and other no because of the diferent things ponies experiment in their lifes


I think that every ponies name is a nickname and they have an actual name given by their parents. Take Pinkie Pie for example, She has a real name given by her parents, Pinkemena, which means that ‘Pinkie Pie’ is her nickname. That’s my theory


I haven't really watched my little pony but now it sounds good. I still probably won't watch it tho


What if sometimes their destiny matched with their names instead of the other way around. Like someone was named something and their destiny went with that name. Probably not true but it’s my theory


celestia tells the names to luna, who appers in the parents dreams and tells the new borns names


I think that someone would predict their cutie mark by seeing what the character likes best and their personality and then gives the name and the cutie mark


Mrs. Cake was actually named Chiffon Swirl

˚✧₊⁎Audrey⁎⁺˳✧


well I think someone like princess luna would predict the future and the parents keep it a secret  to the child until they have their own child


I honestly think the marks are similar to their names so they are more unique to the pony themself, and less general. If a business or something they do runs in the family, as it would, they are named after it, as that's what they would do in the future


I think the princess is used magic to have the tags at their name is 😁


I think that someone who can go inside minds and give info is giving names, so what I’m saying is that (perhaps Luna) is going in parent’s minds and telling the pony’s name, then the parents give their children’s names. Idk, just what I think.


About the theory of Celestia naming the newborns...

Who named Celestia?


in the episode where the CMC wanted to ask Rainbow Dash how she got her cutie mark they end up running into the other mane 6 they had they're names before cutie marks and Rainbow Dashs Rain Boom caused them to GET there cutie marks so how they are named is really unknown.

BUT HEY THAT'S JUTS A THEORY

A FILM THEORY

AAAANNNNND cut.

I honestly think that it could have been star swirl at the time, but that’s just my guess.


I think their cutie mark is used based around their names


I definitely know that the parents are giving the names because look at Apple Bloom Apple Bloom doesn't have an apple bloom or like an apple on her as her cutie mark she has a cutie Mark crusaders logo and so does scootaloo scootaloo does not have whatever scooter was supposed to have she also has the cutie Mark crusaders logo


Maybe their names collide with destiny like diamond tiara was supposed to like diamond tiaras🤔


But what about when flurry hart was born? The parents said they were going to name her that to "remember the occasion"

I don't think an "occasion " (AKA time the entirety of the Chrystal Empire was almost destroyed AGAIN) can be a talent.

you are right maybe celestia sees their destiny and tells to luna after luna goes in the dreams of parents and tell them to name likewise

Well, fellow theorist, we may never know her cutie mark, so no one exactly cares.

Well, it's pretty clear that Flurry would be the next protector of the Crystal Heart for when Cadence stepped down, so the heart makes a bit of sense. The Flurry part... Well, look at how Flurry acts, sure, because she's a baby, she doesn't have control of her emotions, but there's also the point of, Flurry's more aware of things than other foals around her age. She has the intelligence of about a five-year-old, but the maturity of her age. I personally believe that in the future, Flurry would be a pony who's much more in touch with her feelings than other ponies, and she'll follow what her heart believes is right, even if she doesn't understand her full feelings on a situation. IDK, I'm just rambling.


But really- Just imagine if Pinkie Pie was called "Party Balloons" or something-


Keep in mind when making an apple pie usually GRANNY SMITH apples are used


Someone probably pointed this out already but this theory was disproven in the song "Pinkie the Party Planner" where Mr and Mrs cake sing: "She planned our first foal shower where we played all sorts of games / Having so much fun as we chose Pound and Pumpkin's names." Love you Sawtooth!


I myself have some questions. If I was a pony would my name be Star Platinum? (sorry for the JoJo reference but if I had a platinum star as a cutie mark) I can see my cutie mark being a platinum star. But if I go by Star Platinum the platinum miner.


But would that conspiracy be incorrect? Twilight got her name BEFORE her cutie mark.

She was named after her mom, TWILIGHT velvet.

The parent give them a first name at birth then a surname when they get a cutie mark if the filly or colt wants it


for granny smith she kinda matches<br>its an apple pie and im pretty sure those are mostly made with granny smith apples

Maybe the parents just named them and then destiny’s like hey we got to give them a cutie mark that matches their name


Wait what if luna went into the ponys dreams and if they were going to have a child then luna would tell them the name?

moonstar shadowwolf But I’m pretty sure ponies were getting names before Luna came back from the moon.


also me: has an oc named Nightlight (she's a pegasus) with a full indigo color palette but of course she's a lighter color, and her cutie mark is a star and I want to change it because she's actually a very smart machine inventor,,,,,. she casually just wears a nice purple bowtie also I'm limited to a 5x5 pixel image for the cutie mark because I used Pony Town to make her-- I'm still working on a good mark idea that isn't just a gold star h


Didn't the Apple family come from a different country/area and meet up with Celestia later on? How'd they work with the names?


Zecora knows almost everything, maybe she names them


What if there name affects their destiny?<br>After all, a cutiemark is affected by their destiny-

What if there name affects their destiny?
After all, a cutiemark is affected by their destiny-


I feel like it's chaos magic  it's self giving parents the idea because it would make sense if your new pinky theory is true (which it probably is) because not only does she ha e pinky sence but she and her human self made huge true predictions so the time she took discords chaos magic it affected her in every single dimension


Granny Smith is a type of apple, but he is right for the match up of the cutie mark crusaders


pie is her surname, maud pie is her sister and more. btw, tree hugger said after discord called her a wrong name: ,,Thats nice, i should change that." she was talkin´ ´bout her name


Or maybe the parents look to the unicorns With powerful magic for a time portal to the futuro


I think Luna names of all the ponies cuz she can go into the parents dreams

All these characters where born before Luna came back and I'm sure nightmare moon wouldn't do it.

Maybe princesses have the right to name their own children, and maybe its a thing where every princess has the "future sight" once they become alicorns. I know it sounds far-fetched but it kinda makes sense if you think about it fr a bit (or not and im just crazy...).

...Except she was trapped under the influence of Nightmare on the moon for a whole millennium. <br>No dream-diving allowed.

makes sense good theory  nice name by the way the same as ariana grandes

i would actally think that would be a good idea and she could subconstaly (can't spell) tell them thier kids names but  how would she know the kids names only Celestia can forsee into the futer <b>as far as we know</b> so would they work together??

Janneke Praster  but Luna might went into shining armor dreams and told him to name heart.

Ariana Kulak yeah maybe she does! Good theory!!

But did Luna go into the names dream exactly

Ariana Kulak Luna means Moon, not dreamS

But what about the thousand years she was in the moon?

Ariana Kulak Luna means moon in a other language !!!!!!!!!!!!😒😒😒

Ariana Kulak what if it's Luna's and Celstia's mom/dad????

Weeeeeell what about when Luna was Nightmare 🌙

Undertale_shipper Clark she can control their dream to make them have a vision of naming the child

Ariana Kulak wut does going into dreams have to do with it? Heh lol ;)

Ariana Kulak I known why luna is Luna because Luna is a full Moon's name I think because I search some gyphy and I type Luna and its came up a full moons gyphy

Ariana Kulak but cadence and shiningarmore named there own kid not luna


Celestia: Name her twilight
Mom and Dad: We can name her Mia-
Celestia: NAME HER TWILIGHT


Я думаю, их называют как угодно, а потом знаки отличия сами подбираются под имя


I might think star swearl named the ponys and maybe he can product the future?it makes sense he is a wizard anyways🙂


They could be called a different name before their cutie mark then when they get their cutie mark

I think they get there names by looking at what they are doing and look at their body parts like Feather wing his wing is made out of feathers


I honestly think one thing:

The parents associate the color’s of their baby/baby’s with their name, for example “PINKY-pie”
What im going with this is that in every creatures history they have the tradition of naming their children the associated colors of their fur/skin. Pink could mean “outgoing” or “fun to be around”. White could be “fancier”. Blue could be like… “strong”. Do you see where im going at? Even Rainbowdashes name is associated with some type of color on her body. This is my theory.


I think the names are there meant to be the cutie mark!😁


Apart from the ruler of The crystal empire Twilight wasn’t the first  Alicorn Remember that episode where in clouds well Rainbow Dash Need extra support But flatter shy was too quiet TwilightTurned Rarat In to an alicorn Before she was turned 😱😱😱


I think  the parents have an intuition what to name their kid. Like they dont realize that there naming the kid after there cutie mark cause it's just what they do


I knew this since the first time I saw the series.😏


so irl there is this concept going around that people adopt traits of the person they are named after. So what if... ponies talents and stuff are based on their names instead? A pony who is affected by their name and behaves as such, thus growing in such a way that their defined talent becomes relevant to their name...


I kinda like that idea but maybe theres a secret alicorn or even a powerful creature who sees ponys cutie marks befor they were born or after they were born  and decide their name


I know how they get their names!
The creators of My Little Pony makes their names!
:> true fact


What if the parents put a bunch of objects in front of the newborn for a week, then whatever the infant chooses corresponds with their name and if what they choose isn’t a good name (Like pinkie pie and balloons) then they choose something related to it


I know this video is old but have you ever thought of using the original MLP to help you with this?


maybe they get their cutie marks according to their names? like snips and snails, their names ares such so they get it in a such a way....but since ponies like pinkie pie can't have a pink pie on her flank she gets balloons. The thing is they get their cutie mark according to their name? but then the cutie mark crusaders are different but we still see mic in sweetie bell's mark, an apple in apple blossoms and a wing in scootalo sooooo their destiny is decided before hand? -- its just a theory


I think that it’s the same way as humans you just name the baby and they get a cutie mark similar to their names just as how humans fit with their names


Their names are random, Then ponies try to live up to their name and it often works!!!

i basically said that in my comment look i will copy and past it!  What if there names effect which cutie mark they get? For example name your baby Cherry Top BOOM Cherry top ends up wanting to be like her name so Cherry Top starts a cherry orchid and BOOM cherry cutie mark!!!

Ohhh okay. Just comes in a dream to the parents, sorta. I get it now. That makes sense. :D

Maddie the Turtle

I think that when they get a child they instantly know what name tham like cutie marks their names come naturally

Well, you said "they try to live up to their name" but the cutie mark crusaders didn't TRY to live up to their names. And how are the names random, like the family picks a random name, or when they're born a name tag is on them? The Apple family having only Apple names probably isn't random.

plus what would their names be with the cutie marks they got? Cutie mark 1, Cutie mark 2, and Cutie mark 3?<br>Sorry for the late reply

plus what would their names be with the cutie marks they got? Cutie mark 1, Cutie mark 2, and Cutie mark 3?
Sorry for the late reply

That's because their names don't really mean anything, I mean scootaloo is good with a scooter but that didn't end up being her cutie mark. and I said it often works, not that it always does!

What about the CMC? They didn't try to live up to their names. They just tried everything they could.


Plot twist: the names give the ponies their destinies XD


I think the names the parents chooses for the filly's are the filly's destiny (cutiemark) so let's say rainbow dashes parents picked rainbow dash cause of the rainbow mane, then in the future she's destined to get her cutie mark by Dashing.


They be named by their personality some time like apple bloom apple because she be making apple foods with her family and bloom she is always happy like a flower they bloom when the sun come on them and bloom and the sun equal happy that what i think


Flurry Heart was named Flurry Heart because her emotions affects the crystal heart


《when the video starts》"how do ponys even get their names?"<br>me: their parents finds a good name and gives it to them, Duh.. 《later》oh...

《when the video starts》"how do ponys even get their names?"
me: their parents finds a good name and gives it to them, Duh.. 《later》oh...

Hannah Wittrup Nissen yeah I agree with you


There is an alicorn that names the ponies, but not Princess Celestia.

Fausticorn names all the ponies


“Not all names and cutie marks match up”
puts granny smith

Me: Granny Smith is an apple...
the cutie mark is an Apple pie.

“Not all names and cutie marks match up”
*puts granny smith*

Me: Granny Smith is an apple...
the cutie mark is an Apple pie.


they’re named by someone who knows their destinies; the writers


I think that the generation of ponies that are named by their cutie mark were born with their cutie mark leaving the new generation of ponies to get their names that dont match their cutie mark which is why a lot of fillies don't have their name matching their cutie mark the ones that do have their name by their cutie mark they must have been raised to match the cutiemark


After all, Flurry Heart was named after the storm.

No she got flurry from the storm cause it was very flurry, and heart because Cadance’s cutie mark IS A HEART! FLURRY HEART. Get it now?Get it now?some people believed that she was gonna be named Princess Skyla. Princess Skyla is fake. Not a real pony

Cheshire Shadow yes she did this screeeeeaaaaam!

maybe her cutie mark will be a heart shaped cloud snowing!!! (I'm talkin about Flurry Heart)


I think a pony is named what their parents want and their cutie mark adapts to that


The tree of Harmony has a moon and the sun the same exact stuff and Celestia and Luna's cutie  Mark and the rest of the elements of Harmony have the elements of Harmony twilight pinkie pie Applejack cutie marks so that's how they can control the elements


My theory is that when a pony is born his/her destiny is not decided, so when his/her parents name the pony then their destiny is decided and they get their cutie mark accordingly...


Just like

"twilight sparkle"

Twilight has sparkles in her cutie mark

And

"rainbow dash"

She has rainbow in her cutie mark

And

"flutter shy"

Well she is shy

"Pinkie pie"

She always cooks pies

"apple jack"

Her cutie mark is an apple

Only rarity Name doesn't Fit her cutie mark


@Emily Monahan my child's name is
"Your smile shines in a crowd"
Perfect, isn't she?

@Emily Monahan my child's name is
_"Your smile shines in a crowd"_
Perfect, isn't she?

Let's name our child,

"Good things come to those who wait."

it's perfect

Let's name our child,

"Good things come to those who wait."

_it's perfect_


Guess what.

I’m being Queen Crystalis for halloween this year 👻


Example: pony’s name: Lyra  |After some time|  Cutie mark appears with Lyra
Another example: pony’s name: Rarity  |After some time|  Cutie mark appears with something “rare”, which is diamonds

Cuz we (should) know that ponies don’t born with cutie marks.


imagine if apple bloom's cutie mark was an apple blooming from a tree-


they change their names after getting the cutie mark. remember when pinkie wasn't pinkie pie before. Her real name was Pinkamena Diane Pie

... that's not changing her name that's a nickname.  PINKamena Diane PIE ... it's no different than someone named Richard going by Richie,  or Michael by Mikey ect. Also not using a middle name is typical


I think they got named before they got the cutie mark but when they find their destiny I think they following their name


Granny smith’s name does match her cutie mark, which is an apple pie. Granny Smith is named after a “Granny Smith” which is a variety of apple, it’s a play on words.


I think the names sub consciously comes to the parents


Maybe zecora names them????? Idk. but in a way it makes sense, zecora makes so many potions so maybe one of them could be a foresight potion or a "Im Gonna name your child" potion? But Then, why were all ponies afraid of zecora when they first met her if the parents went to her hut thingy to name their child? Maybe its cause after zecora names the child, she uses a memory potion to like delete all of it.

IDK!! But you gotta say its a nice theory...........................


When Twilight at celestias school she didnt earn her cutiemark so celestia called her twilight sparkle so yees you onow its just about parents choice


If Season 5 Premiere there is even more weird.

"Nigh" Glider  = A sort of moon in a dark night.
"Party" Favor = Baloons
"Sugar" Belle = "Sugar" I guess it's food.
Double "Diamond" = Diamonds is a gem representing somethings cold.And Double Diamond's favorite sport is only playable in snow and his cutie marks are Snow Flakes.

+Jace Simonsgaard my point is that I'm agreeing with what you and Brony Notion are saying

+Jace Simonsgaard in which Double Diamond Is a skier/snowboarder which goes with his name well. Come to think of it, Party Favor refers to balloons and other items you would find at a party that goes with his name, personality, AND cutie mark. The same thing goes with Sugar Belle, as Sugar is most often used in sweets, like cookies or candy whereas Sugar Belle is a baker

@Razing789 / Airstorm Double Diamond refers to a slope that is a "Double Black Diamond". Slopes with this designation are for experts only and should not be attempted by a weaker or newer skier. They contain mogul fields, free lance territory (area that is not combed and maintained very well), and most of the time don't have chair lift access. Skiers are usually air-dropped. DBD's are the hardest/ most difficult slopes. Black Diamonds are the slopes that still contain moguls and free terrain but usually have lift access. In decreasing difficulty it goes, DBD; BD, double blue, blue, double green, and green. Bunny slopes are for little kids and people skiing for the first time.

@Razing789 / Airstorm I think a Double Diamond is a difficultly of track you can choose when you go skiing or snowboarding.


I think celestia use magic to see the future and see the cutie mark and then say name her sweetie drop like that who agree ❤no 💚yes


I actually think the parents don't see their child's destiny, but what if...they decide their destiny? They just never look suspicious. Think about it. My example is Apple Bloom; APPLE Bloom. The name fits it enough. Her cutie mark or destiny may be to help other ponies with their cutie marks, but it still has an apple. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you think the parents get to decide their cutie marks, and perhaps sometimes their destiny?


They may be named after getting their names.

At old times of Oguzs kids got their names by completing or doing something important.

It may be something like this.

Ah yes they get named after getting their name😌


“How do ponies get their names?”<br>F R I E N D S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“How do ponies get their names?”
F R I E N D S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


They get their names from....

The convenience store! Get it?

I'll just leave now

Nobody was taken Because everyone is here


I don't know maybe somehow some kind of force tells them the name for the parents and the parents listen and maybe the force is either discord OR a force that has never been introduced to in My Little Pony and well... it might never be introduced.... at all.


what if ponies visit Zecora and ask, Zecora seems pretty wise to me.


I think it we need some psychology (no). Maybe you don't believe, but you associate yourself with your name. You hear it every day from your first day to your death. And how you feel yourself is what you are. We know that cutiemarks are some kind of soul's reflection, isn't it? Then, I think, if Sweety Drops would have a different name, like "Blueberry Milkshake" her cutiemark would be changed too. <br>P. S. I'm sorry if I have some mistakes in my text, English isn't my mother language

No but like imagine being called spoiled milk (filthy rich’s wife)😭

OMG I didn't know it was her filly name. Well, at her place I'd be more than glad to change it for "rich"... but what does it tell us about her talent? Her cutie mark is a ring with a big diamond


But miss cake from the cake shop changed her name when she got her cutie mark if I'm not mistaken so in conclusion you can have a name but if you get your cutie mark you can also change it


Maybe the parents either name them by an old family member, or how they look, like granny Smith, her cutie make is an apple pie and her skin if green like the apple-


Candance: we will name her Flurry heart

Me: ahh yes, a McFlurry

Candance: we will name her *Flurry* heart

Me: ahh yes, a *McFlurry*


Technically after apple bloom got her name it was not apple related, therefore her name doesn't  relate to her cutie mark


Not a bad theory about Celestia! But if she names everypony wouldn't she always have to be at the hospital?

Gemma's Life mabey Zecora names them, I mean, she's a Zebra, and I also feel she doesn't get enough recognition. Also, watch episodes with Zecora in them, and you'll see why I think she names them.

Gemma's Life yeah but in mlp celestia is always on 'royal' duties! And who said royal duties cant be naming ponies?😂

LOL but true cause everyday a pony has to be born so that's way

well the mane mane 6 don't match there names
RainbowDash: rainbow lightning bolt
PinkiePie: Balloons

Gemma's Life why is your picture Hermione

flamefox puffballs celestial deals with gods so maybe

She goes to canterlot hospital or whatever when babies are born and others they send pictures! Or Celestia is the all knowing goddess that tells parents before the foal is born!

+Crystal Flowers LOL!!!! <b>Laughs uncontrollably</b>

+Crystal Flowers LOL!!!! *Laughs uncontrollably*

And here's why I think celestia does not name everybody:  1 if celestia names everybody who names her? 2 if celestia really does name everybody why didn't she name flurry heart?? If u have a responce please tell me

@Gemma's Life
Pony Mother: We had a kid, name please
Celestia while taking a sip of lemonade and looking at her lamp: Lemon Lampshade.

@Crystal Flowers yes. Time for ponies to step into the modern world XD #suchasolidtheory

Crystal Flowers peapulardronwos
Dronwivlaydrols

A new parent texts Celestia that they had a kid and she sends back a name. Solid theory xD

maybe there is a day where celestia is open for baby naming<br>it would kinda be like a baptism

maybe there is a day where celestia is open for baby naming
it would kinda be like a baptism

ahhhhhhhhhh!!! Kirby is so cute when he talks

And Flurry Heart was named by Cadence and Shining Armour

+Tom Bob Maybe her Mom if she's an Alicorn?

What if she gets a notification to tell her when a baby is born from wherever she is


I screamed OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! at the ending and you’re talking about my question <br>I love videos !!! 😃

I screamed OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! at the ending and you’re talking about my question
I love videos !!! 😃


Celestia: name her Pin-/
 Pinkie Pie Pie's parents  but we're going to name her R -
 Celestia: NAME HER PINKIE PIE

Pinkie Pie's parents: fine we will call her Pinkie Pie


What about Zecora? maybe she could name them?


I think when they get their cutie marks their cutie marks connects to their name


I have an updated theory based on the season 6 premiere <br>maybe ponies are commonly named after something that happened the day of their birth and their talents correspond because the same area they were born is where they will grow up and get their cutie marks

I have an updated theory based on the season 6 premiere
maybe ponies are commonly named after something that happened the day of their birth and their talents correspond because the same area they were born is where they will grow up and get their cutie marks

I think it comes from their appearence, or maybe their personality. Example: Twilight Sparkle was born as a Unicorn, so Twilight loves to read books, she loves magic, and she really worked hard long ago to LEARN magic, so I'd say its because of her magic. So "twilight" is like some sort of light, which is kind of related to magic, and sparkle is like a spark in the sky, so thats what I think. Pinkie Pie got her name from her appearence and personality, too. She IS pink, and she DOES love pies, so yeah. Where did she get the "pie" from? Its maybe cuz of her love of baking. Where did she get the "pink" from? Duh, I already told you SHE IS PINK. Rainbow Dash got her name from that too, her fricking MANE is like a rainbow, so I'm assuming thats how she got "rainbow" from. So she is fast, we all know, and she IS the coolestest of them all, (I know im sure thats not a word) and her speed is where she got "Dash" from. Now Rarity got her name from her personality, not her appearence. She absoloutly LOVES diamonds, jewels, and dresses. Maybe the "rare" came from the diamonds and jewels, and stuff thats valuable like gold,  and yeah. Fluttershy got her name because she LOVES animals, her cutie mark is 3 butterflies and thats where "flutter" came from and i'm not sure about fluttershy because before she earned her cutiemark, she wasn't really into creatures. "Shy" is her personality, so obviously its where that came from. Applejack got hers from the Apple family I think. The "apple" came from the APPLES of course, and i'm not sure where "jack" came from or what that even means. IF you do know, then maybe you can tell. LOL I only spent about 5 minutes writing this essay. OML LOOK HOW FRIKIN LONG IT IS!!!!

that WOULD  make sence if it was not for pinkiepie


Cadence's full name is (Princess) Mi Amore Cadenza<br>the crystal heart do reflect "Mi Amore"

Cadence's full name is (Princess) Mi Amore Cadenza
the crystal heart do reflect "Mi Amore"


Ponies names are the same as the cuty mark  because its easier to remember. It a show for little kits by the way


Name are given  by parents  and cutie  mark are coming   to match  with  their  names


I think luna does it bc the realm twilight got her wings was close to the dream realm luna selects the destiny of there dreams to so maybe.


I think that the ponies who match their cutie marks are the ponies who are in the newer equestria life, and like the mane 6 they probably just got named.


In one episode Mrs, Cakes say she was not always called Mrs. cakes so maybe people change their name of what their cutemark is


Or the name could influence their future character/cutie mark/personality....


fun fact, this (or the equestria girls cutie marks vid, whichever came first) was my first sawtooth video, and here i am, still enjoying their content today


I have a theory maybe Luna goes into the ponies dreams to show they destiny of the future to the parents before the child is born

Wait so how do ponies make babies do they do it different

star swirl banner maybe (I think that how you spell it/his name)

If Luna goes to ponies dreams, then who named Luna, and Celistia, since she is older, and ponies before Luna

Maybe... I like your theory and feather bloom`s! I think your both right! :D

@Patronofdragons i guess that makes sense. :)

@Ravenwriter Except she is a ruler and if she helped name every pony she wouldn't have time to do anything else.

@michlle ashleybffs wow...that's a great theory!!  :)

So that's when Tia took her place for a thousand years till her reaturn so that way Tia didn't come for pumkin and pound because Luna was back

@michlle ashleybffs except Luna was locked up in the moon for a thousand years.

Wouldn't that spoil the "hidden talent" thing


I wonder do the royal guard have the same name since they look very similar and supposedly what would their cutie mark look like?


I think ponies probably get their names by the type of pony they are and their personality. (but it could still be possible it was from their cutie marks)


We know how mane 6 get their cutie marks... But what about other ponies?


Maybe when the parents name their kids their cutie marks and personality matches their names


I can imagine celestia talking to pinkie's dad. "We're not calling her pinkie, your highness"
"How about... Pinkamena? "
"Fine"


I think they get Their name first then they get their cutie marks according to their name


How i thought it was for example diamond tiara,was she was originally just called diamond and then when she got her cutie mark she tiara was added.


I think ponies get their names at birth and when they get there cutie mark it matches up with the name


What if.. if your name is your destiny or your expression/emotions or personality is your destiny


I think that the magical force that names the ponies is something called (Hasbro)

i know it's hasbro that create their names,what a stupid question

Lol yeah... but this is the mlp bubble XD

+Luke Sminchak  ok i know that but he means in the pony's world,and yes that is true.

+Rose Wish slice of life says her name is sweetie drops

Well in every video I watch it says Bonbon.

+Luke Sminchak  OR it could just be what name the birth givers like the most. Bonbon probely had birth givers who love making and/or eating candy. Also I think the force would be called "Mind" in like your brain.


My theory is that their marks would appear and disappear after being born. Giving their parents a clue as to what to expect.


Here is a theory idea, of course I have not done research I am just thinking it would be cool. Are twilight and shining armor even siblings?


I think your right about Celestia naming there babies


Dank flanks 4 life!!!

Celesta: name him buttin mash

Parents: …

Celestia: N A M E H I M B U T T O N M A S H !!!!!!!!!!!


My theory:

     They got their names from dat boi.

DUDEDAT IS DUMB not trying to be mean but how is dat boi in mlp

@xXTheAnimatedRexXx :D NO DEAD MEMES ST O P


Also fluttershy was called fluttershy before she got her cutie mark. I know this bc in one of the episodes shes being bullied (This was when she was a lot younger) The line is 'Fluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy can hardly fly'


Maybe Celestia tells Luna and Luna visits them the night before the mothers give birth.


One doctor pony can see into the future of the newborn and call it accordially for the most part


If the population is same then the whole day princess celestia would name kids. And even at night .<br>There might be future tellers

If the population is same then the whole day princess celestia would name kids. And even at night .
There might be future tellers


Well i think that the parents look at the kids and see a personality within them so they name them after the personality the parents see<br>


perhaps when ponies are born they perform a certain event that shows the parents what to name them?


Maybe it's not that the names predict the cutie marks, but that the cutie marks match the names. Maybe Cadence would have been a dancer or singer had she not been taken under the wing of Celestia.


does everyone remembers the core of the zebra well maybe she could say like what their future is going to be and what their cutie mark is going to be so the parents kind of make up what their name will be when like if she has a crystal ball and it shows a picture of them in the future do you know what I mean?


Brony I think I know how Snail got his cutie mark maybe he was in a garden one time and i found a snail so he took it in and slowly learned how to take care of the snail and improving his studies slowly like a snail so maybe when his pet died he got his cutie mark realizing now matter how slow and steady you are you might never win the race that is why he is not smart, a slow thinker and is trying to improve everyday (PLEASE POST THIS IN A VIDEO ONE DAY)


2018 anyone? No just me? Ok

Also i think that when ponies are born they get a normal name, but when they get a cutie mark they change their name to match their cutie mark. Or they keep the name name they originally had.

Sweetie im looking in 2019 almost 2020 xD

Yuri Gacha-Chan Idk who does that but lemme go look <b>grabs giant name book looks in the G section then closes the book and yeets it into a tree</b> Nope Granny Smith's not in da book 😝😝😝😝😝

Yuri Gacha-Chan Idk who does that but lemme go look *grabs giant name book looks in the G section then closes the book and yeets it into a tree* Nope Granny Smith's not in da book 😝😝😝😝😝

PaintedWinter  actually Appleblooms fits her name iz got an apple in the middle of it!!

Yeah. I mean, who names their kid <i>Granny</i> Smith?

Yeah. I mean, who names their kid _Granny_ Smith?

PaintedWinter Actually appleblooms cutie Mark had an apple in the middle of it so hers had something to do with her name

Finally someone got the right explanation because applebloom for example everyone thought that her cutie mark was going to be an apple but she and her friends became the cutie mark crusaders

But remember Apple Bloom Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo they never changed their names when the got third cutie mark

That theory doesnt match. because once the cutie mark crusaders got their marks they didnt change their names.

Pinkameana Cupcakes uh... ya know Pinkies real name is Pinkamena? Pinkamena Diane Pie.

Pinkie Pie ya I think so too I watch an ep apparently ms cakes was not called ms cakes she changed her name to suit her cutie mark

Pinkie Pie well that doesn’t explain why sweetie bells name sound like she could get a sweet candy bell, or scootalo, sounds like he would have scooter, but he got a lightning bolt, and sweetiebells name is still sweetiebell yet her cutie mark is a star inside a symbol

And also what about featherweight? Or countless other ponies the CMC have helped that have names that represent their cutie mark they haven't gotten yet, and then they get their cutie mark in that episode?

This thing has been bugging me since the first time

What about the cmc? They didn't change their names and their names don't exactly fit their cutie marks.

Im also here 2018

I personally just think upbringing influences ponies cutiemarks, so thats why the names match. I mean applejacks family has apple based names and they all ended up doing farm work or being good at fixing things up so that'd be my best guess

Pinkie Pie I guess it’s up to the pony’s whether they wanna change it or not

2018 also hello pinkie pie I’m pinkamena you can continue making cupcakes the “original” way but soon you won’t have enough bits to get the ingredients you need and will have to make them the “hard” way by force hehehe     —twitches—


Maybe they have nawes similar to there parents name,job, hobbies,etc


I think I know how they get their cutie marks it’s by their color and what their parents think


I think first the parents name them and what ever the parents name the newborn  later on they get a cutie mark that matched there name 🤔🤔🤔


Maybe their birth certificate already has a name on it predicted by the magic in equestria


Wasn't sweety.drops name really special agent bon bon, or was it the other way around, I forget


I think the parents name them like they want and then when they grow up they have to act like that . For example- filthy rich he named his daughter dimond tiara and when she grew up she liked dimond tiaras


Sweetie drops real name isn’t sweetie drop<br>Her name is actually bom bom

Sweetie drops real name isn’t sweetie drop
Her name is actually bom bom


How do old ponies names work? How would you like it if you were born with an old person’s name?


yeah, Cadance said we decided to call her flurry heart so what if...maybe...their parents CHOOSE their cutie marks!?


or maybe once the ponies were named, maybe their cutie mark will automatically match their names?


Hasbro actually names all the ponies including the newborns


Maybe they name the babies with similar to their family names or similar to parents cutie mark but if the family is big naming will be difficult so they name others differently


‘Or maybe they are just born with labels’

MarysiaBurger XDDDD JUST LIKE MY NAMES LEMME GO JUMP OFF A CLIFF XDDDDDD

@Katrina Brown thnx!!! =< ^ V^ >= cat face. ;p

@Katrina Brown .... sorry phone keyboards suck

Also wouldn't there names hive them a hint?


Also Apple Bloom, Sweetie Bell, And Scootaloo they got their names way before they go their cutie marks. Right?


Nope, the cutie marks come from who they are. They like us, are named at birth. But there cutie marks are who they are but if they are is a talent then that’s there cutie mark. The cutie mark principals just have to wait and see if they develop a talent any time soon if not then there cutie marks it there name.


I have a theory what if it's Luna I mean she can go into others dreams with her magic


The thing is, we see Pinkie Pie be the only pony with a last name along with her family. Her entire family is named (insert name) Pie. However pinkie’s family is all about rocks, and pies don’t really have anything in common with rocks. So it’s quite interesting when all other ponies have their cutie marks related to their name, but pinkie’s family doesn’t. I’d also like to point out how we don’t know Granny Smith’s real name. Sure we know her by Granny Smith bc she’s old, but what about when she was young? Did people still call her granny? Perhaps her name was Granny Smith and nobody thought of it since it’s a real apple, maybe once she grew old ppl used the word granny to have both meanings?


I feel like some of the pony’s parents Force them to get a cutie mark that matches their name


the CMC got cutimarks WAY different to there name so there's no may some pony  is looking into the future of the ponys or apple bloom would of got some apple sweetie well would prolly get a bell and scootallo would get a scooter so it's still a mystery


Maybe everyone was just born labeled xD<br>Makes a lotta sense

Maybe everyone was just born labeled xD
Makes a lotta sense


It depends how the pony's name is thats why their cutie mark SoMtImEs match with their name


Celestia: Ok, look into the pink ponies destiny<br>Also her: A pink pie? Ok PINKIE PIE!

Celestia: Ok, look into the pink ponies destiny
Also her: A pink pie? Ok PINKIE PIE!


I think this naming a baby pony is just the circle of life. There is no theory needed. It's just life. Magic. Idk.

No. How can it perfectly fit the name then?


Or the Parents just named them and depending on there name the got their cutie Mark meaning the Parents chose the destiny of their children


maybe they get their cutie marks depending on their name and not then other way around


Wait a minute. Was Granny Smith's name Granny Smith before she was a granny? Was it just Smith?


What if when ponies are born they are born with a name tag that destiny has already given them which tells the parents their name. It’s equestria after all anything can happen.


THIS SONG FEELS LIKE ITS FROM THE MLP GAME FROM LIKE 2009


Sweetie Belle- a bell?.
Apple Bloom- a blooming apple?.......
