Naming Fluttershy's Parents, Trixie's Mom, and the Sphinx

@mjangelvortex
I'm absolutely fine with that.

@Edhelistar
It doesn't.

The word "zecora" was, but is no longer, the word used for zebra by the Oromo people of east Africa.

I throught this form was suppose to be closet intill july 23

I was the one who said Spectacle Showcase, Darth Shy.
For some reason my post doesn't seem to be here anymore or I'm constantly over looking it.
If someone could show me it that'd be great.
But that was my suggestion was Spectacle Showcase.

And it's cause she was referred to as "Spectacle" or "Showcase" in some cases.

So I thought combining the two names was perfect, thus Spectacle Showcase.

Fluttershy’s parents: Posey Shy and Cloudy Breeze work

The Sphinx is The Sphinx

For Trixie’s Mom — the name Sunflower Spectacle really encompasses the family’s traits

spectacle noun [ C ] (UNUSUAL EVENT)

an unusual or unexpected event or situation that attracts attention:

She made a spectacle of herself (= behaved in a way that attracted attention and made her look ridiculous).

@PastelBacon
The comment you're looking for is here.

I made a similar name suggestion as well a while back too. The only differences is the words are swapped. So it's more or less a personal preference to which one a person may prefer.

@Wispy Tuft
That more of a nickname, what would the whole name be?

@Liggliluff

I put forward these suggestions that way because their kids also have different second elements to their names too, and if both had the same second element, Zephyr's name would be the anomaly. i remembered that it is possible for the daughters of a certain couple to have the mother's surname and the sons to have the father's surname. That was rather common, for example, in Portugal, until the 19th century.

@galaxy eq
The choices will be locked in then.

@galaxy eq

You still have… 10 hours to submit suggestions.

So just to summarize, faves for Trixie's mom so far are, Beatrice Sunflower, Beatrix Sundazzle, Showcase spectacle and Dandy lion, Right?

Any other notable standouts?

@Mildgyth
But he is referred to as "Mr. Shy", that is my point.

@cheezedoodle

SPHINX: Alramalia (means "sandy" in Arabic).
MR SHY: Triple Cloud
MRS SHY: Patchwork Flower
TRIXIE'S MOM: Sunflower Wand.

@Liggliluff
His name is Fluttershy. He named his daughter after himself.

Ehh, I can't hear the name Beatrix without thinking of the Final Fantasy IX character of that name

@Background Pony #27DC
Well Jinxy is the full name. You see the same thing with Tirek, Chrysalis and Grogar. Villain characters tend to have one name and a title. Queen Chrysalis, lord Tirek pharaoh Jinxy. My name fits well within the shows naming conventions.

I don't like sand. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

Also wouldn’t naming the creature Sandy be one of those Copyright problems? I don’t have to google anything to be reminded of a certain squirrel.

So do we start voting on the suggestions yet?

@Dustcan
It will be a poll.

@Wispy Tuft
I doubt it would be since these names are fanmade, not offical. We have a background pony named Doctor Whooves (the comics get around legal loopholes by calling him Time Turner).

@Dustcan
That's a good question. I'm rather curious too.

@LightningBolt

And that will happen in…?

@Dustcan
When it does. What's the rush.

@Wispy Tuft
Whut? But we already have a character with a name close to that. And she a heckin' qt.

@Brokedownandmadeone
She is rather cute. That being said we do have two canon characters with very similar names:
Clear Skies and Clear Sky

That being said, I do think you make a good point about the names being a bit too similar. I was just pointing out that we've had something like this happen before.
