Naming Background Ponies Thread!

@lincolnbrewsterfan  
I was also thinking Aqua Heart

@Background Pony #105C  
Nice 😀  
Great minds think alike!😁

@Pulse Wave  

 
Still looking for names for these two.

@Pulse Wave  
Electric Blues and Acoustic Blues sound good.

@Pulse Wave  
What are they?

Don’t you know where I found them?
 
In this case: They’re background ponies from the first IDW comic issue.
 
Or are you too young to have even the remotest idea of what the Blues Brothers are because that was WAY before your time?
 
In this case: Everyone who doesn’t know anything about 20th century pop culture and thinks that Ke$ha invented R&B, please hold on to your horseshoes.
 
I could go all the way back to the 1970s and tell you about how Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi invented the Blues Brothers as a musical act for Saturday Night Live, but then I’d also have to explain to you what Saturday Night Live was.
 
So let’s look at them from the point of view of the 1980 John Landis cult movie. The two protagonists are Elwood J. and “Joliet Jake” Blues, two “brothers” who grew up in an orphanage where they also learned about the blues. (I don’t feel like also explaining to you what blues music is.) They had a band that covered blues, soul and rhythm & blues classics mostly from the 1960s and 1970s, music that was completely outdated and almost forgotten by that time. The band ceased to exist after Jake, the lead singer, had to rob a gas station in order to pay the room service after one gig.
 
Three years later, Jake comes out of jail, and Elwood picks him up. They find out that the orphanage they used to call home will close if it can’t pay $5,000 of taxes within eleven days. Jake gets a divine inspiration at a gospel service and decides to get the band back together and make the money with a few gigs. Not only does this prove to be difficult, but the Blues Brothers also make a bunch of new enemies: Illinois Nazis, the owner of a hillbilly music joint, a country band and just about every last cop in all of Illinois, not to mention a mysterious woman who wants to kill them. To say the movie is over the top is an understatement.
 
The Blues Brothers is and will always be one of the cult-iest cult classic movies in the history of cinema ever.
 
Here’s the theatrical trailer.
 
Part of what makes the Blues Brothers the Blues Brothers are their trademark outfits: black hats, sunglasses, black suits, black ties, shirts that used to be white, black shoes. Elwood’s car, the “Bluesmobile”, a black-and-white 1974 Dodge Monaco Sedan police cruiser ex California Highway Patrol Mount Prospect City Police, fits this perfectly and has become one of the most famous and iconic movie vehicles ever.
 
It’s also worth mentioning that the Blues Brothers, through Saturday Night Live, their concerts and the movie, brought soul and rhythm & blues music from before the arrival of disco back to public awareness.
 
The Blues Brothers in a pony nutshell:  
 
Left to right, top to bottom:
 
Dan Aykroyd a.k.a. Elwood J. Blues, secondary singer and harmonica player. John Belushi a.k.a. “Joliet Jake” Blues, lead singer.
 
Richard J. Daley Center, Chicago, IL.
 
Chicago cops trying to catch the Blues Brothers in a monumental car chase.
 
Henry Gibson as The Führer of the Illinois Nazis. The All-Star Blues Brothers Band: Lou “Blue Lou” Marini, Steve “The Colonel” Cropper, Alan “Mr. Fabulous” Rubin, Willie “Too Big” Hall, Murphy “Murph” Dunne, Donald “Duck” Dunn, Tom “Bones” Malone, Matt “Guitar” Murphy, all as themselves. Charles Napier as Tucker McElroy, the leader of the country band The Good Ole Boys from which the Blues Brothers have stolen a gig.
 
Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin as herself as the owner of the Soul Food Cafe on Maxwell Street and in-movie wife of band member Matt “Guitar” Murphy who doesn’t want him to hang around with the Blues Brothers again and tries to hold him back by redoing her big hit Think. Carrie Fisher as the Mystery Woman who tries to kill the Blues Brothers with very heavy weaponry. Ray Charles as himself as the owner of Ray’s Music Exchange, singing and playing a cover of the Five Du-Tones’ Shake A Tailfeather with the Blues Brothers and their band.

@Pulse Wave  
I only asked because I don’t read the comics.

@Pulse Wave  
Dynamic Blues?

@Mildgyth  
Nice, another two names for my collection.
 
@Mildgyth  
#567 I noticed that she’s a pegasus in other screencaps she appears in, so this particular screencap might be a case of missing wings.  
 
As for a name, I can’t really make out her cutie mark, but it kinda looks like a drop of blood. Together with her probably being a pegasus, I’ll go with Red Sparrow, based on that one spy movie.
 
Edit: Checking screencaps again while tagging Breezy Serenade from last vote, I found two more screenshots of her as an earth pony. But this time, her cutie marks seems to be flipped vertically. This is confusing.  
 
I still have no idea what that’s supposed to be. Closest thing could be a red ♪ eight note maybe? So here, a good name might be Red Quaver.
 
#572 Country Harmonics
 
#575 He has a blue leaf as cutie mark, so I’m going with Hosta Blue.

@Yoshimon1  
I checked one of the more clear screencaps on the wiki and I think it’s a red ribbon?
