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

@Dustcan
 
Suggestions close in three hours.

The Sphinx’s name is just The Sphinx.

I’m all for Mrs. Shy being named Posey Shy, and Trixie’s mom being named Dandy Lion. For the Sphinx I propose Meowpatra.

@Damaged  
Eh. I was close. But still wrong, thanks for the correction.
 
@UserAccount  
Sure, Spike-abusing baby Rainbow Dash.

I only came here to name the sphinx as I have two names for her. Giza II (Like the Great Sphinx of Giza) or Shepsut (like Hatshepsut)

I only got one suggestion so I’ll just drop this here.
 
-Sunflower Serenade for Trixie’s mom.

wait did they not namedrop fluttershy’s parents in the show?

@NLTLF  
Nope, they never got any official names.

@NLTLF  
They’re named “Mr. Shy” and “Mrs. Shy” in the credits, just like how Twilight Velvet and Night Light were named “Mrs. Sparkle” and “Mr. Sparkle” in the credits for The Crystalling Part 2.

@Exhumed Legume  

 
A good counter-argument for the position that both Mr. and Mrs. Shy should have names ending in Shy.

@cheezedoodle  
Certainly a point in favor of something a little more… original, at least.

@cheezedoodle  
Yes and no. Traditionally, let’s say Robert Paulson and Sandra Clark get married, they’d be referred to Mr. and Mrs. Paulson, regardless of name exchanges (some cultures even use Mr. and Mrs. Robert Paulson).

Sphinx: Sphinx  
Trixie’s Mom: Trixie’s Mom  
dunno aboot Fluttershy’s parents ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For the poll; will it be multi-choice, where we can select all the options we like. Or will it be single-choice, where we need to vote strategically and not for what we actually want (the two major party problem in politics)?
 
My question is kinda biased ;)

@Damaged  
The point is, Twilight Velvet and Night Light were credited as “Mrs. & Mr. Sparkle” without “Sparkle” being part of either of their names.
 
Thus, it’s not necessary for “Shy” to be part of the name of either “Mrs. Shy” or “Mr. Shy.”

@Exhumed Legume
 
Same for the Pies and Rainbow Dash’s parents, but i don’t like completely haphazard naming patterns.

Sphinx: Sphinx  
Trixie’s Mom: Dandy Lion  
Fluttershy’s parents: Nimbus Breeze (father) and Posey Shy (mother)
 
_{… and, yeah, it’s surprising that for all they’ve been in the show they’re still just “Fluttershy’s mom and dad”.}

@Liggliluff  
Read the first post again, please!

I can’t think of a better name for Trixie’s Mum other than Dandy Lion which is already in the tag’s implication. plus, it’d be a little easier because of that
 
as for Shy’s parents, same situation with Trixie’s Mum, Posey Shy sounds lovely & would definitely suit her. & her dad, I can’t really think of one tbh, then again, I don’t really mind what he’s called, it doesn’t even have to end in Shy though I don’t mind if it does or not.

Other than the pies, the hooffields, and the mccolts, what families have a family name that is a part of their official name?
 
Even the apple family, as tradition-focused as it is, doesn’t retain the apple name.

@cheezedoodle  
The Cakes.
 
 
@Galestorm  

A typo, I’m sure, but an amusing one. ;)
 
 
@Wildcard71  
OP doesn’t answer Liggliluff’s question, though…

@cheezedoodle
 
Not even the Pies. the sisters just happen to have the same suffix while the parents have completely unrelated names. that’s hardly a family name.

@Exhumed Legume  
FAHCK!!! hang on a mo
 
UPDATE: i corrected it, cheers for spotting that for me.

@Mildgyth  
Maybe the parents wanted to establish one?

@Mildgyth  
Igneous Rock Pie. You’re correct on Cloudy Quartz, though.
