Naming Background Ponies Thread!

No clue. Must be awful to know that your lot in life is custodial work…

I’m kinda surprised this thread isn’t flooded with activity.

Spoilers for Best Gift Ever.
 
Any name we can come up for these two?

I already posted the first one, but I think “Aubergine Breeze” might work. No idea on the second one, though.

All of the character references from the Christmas Special (that I recall). If anypony is interested in naming any of them.

||From the movie “Elf” starring Will Ferrell  

 
 
Charlie Brown Christmas  

 
 
Home Alone 2, pigeon lady

@Chopsticks
 
I knew she looked familiar!

@Chopsticks  
It’s a shame that Buddy is already taken for the first one.

@Binkyt11  

 
Oooh, didn’t think about that. Think we could just add that as a character name tag? No fun horsey puns?

@SecretTitan  

 
Noticed now that she seems to have been tagged tip top for the last year or so. It’s not blue yet though. Since it’s not a recent thing and the name seems to be established, I’m going to make it blue and withdraw her from the polls.
 
@Zyr87  
Don’t want to use a trademarked name, but could use some kind of a variation on it.
 
@Frustration in Excelsis  
Rainbow Swirl is already a character, actually.
 
@ApplejackFan204  
We went over them when the episode aired - they’re not actual characters, they are manifestations of the tree of harmony.
 
@EPPony  
Is it really worth renaming a character that has no fanart and only 3 screencaps, who appeared in one episode 7 years ago?

So, the poll site is down again due to bandwidth, as it’s nearly the end of the month. Once it’s back up I will finalize the open polls. Here’s the list of characters up for suggestions. I will release polls for the ones that have sufficient suggestions this coming Saturday.
 
#86  
 
Clayton Potter, Larry Cooper
 
#87  
 
Scarlet Rose
 
#89  
 
Leafy Breeze, Linden Breeze, Sorrel Swirl
 
#90  
 
Garden Grove
 
#91  
 
Sparkling Brook, Glimmer Stream
 
#92  
 
Oak Embers
 
There are a couple of other unnamed kirin yet, but I think it’d be a good idea to hold off for a week to see what names and name components go unused from the previous batch, so they could be reused for the rest.
 
#93  
 
Sunny Seed, Golden Rays
 
#94  
 
Skittles, Rainbow Swirl, Lisa Frank, Pencil Pallette
 
#95  
 
Violet Windbreaker, Laguna
 
#96  
 
Guardian Angel, Bird’s Eye, True Blue, Aegis Storm
 
#97  
 
Clean Sweep, Gloss Coat
 
#98  
 
Aubergine Breeze, Moonlight Zephyr
 
#99  
 
Fabled Tales

#100 (Buddy the Elf)  
 
Budding Pine
 
#101 (filly), #102 (colt)  
 
Spring Green  
Gnarly Burl
 
#103  
 
Heartfelt Song, Starry Heart (after what the pigeon lady told Kevin)

@cheezedoodle  
Are you sure we should name 94?… While we didn’t officially get one yet, that’s one of the OCs. If we had to, maybe name her after the OC’s owner?

@Binkyt11  
Not to mention, we don’t even know if the character already has an actual name.

@cheezedoodle  

 
Canopy Rays, Seed Burst
 

 
Pumpkin Smoke
 

 
Seafoam, Lilac Sky

@Binkyt11  
@EPPony
 
If there is one, we’ll just alias the voted one to it.

@Frustration in Excelsis  
Seafoam and Lilac Sky are already taken.
 
 

My suggestions:  
89 - Beechy Bay  
90 - Forest Fall  
91 - Shimmering Stream  
92 - Roasted Chestnut  
95 - Seafoam Feather  
101 - Ginger Green

If you want to check whether a name is already taken, go to the menu bar, click on Tags and search for the name.

For #96 I’ve also seen suggestions for Spearmint and Valkyrie. :)

@EPPony  
Shoot.
 
Hmm… what about Seagreen?

@Frustration in Excelsis  
That could work.

@Frustration in Excelsis  
Seagreen is actually pretty good, I still prefer Violet Windbreaker, but I will admit bias because I’m the one who came up with the name 😅

 
Maybe the name Green Sprout would work out for him.

@EPPony  

 
This is adorable. I support this name.

Not too similar to Sprout Greenhoof?
