The more you know about pony culture. Otherwise, their naming conventions are seemingly random.

That doesn't answer my question.
Will you be able to choose just one, or multiple answers?
If I've missed the answer to this question, perhaps you could quote it to help me out.

I mean, it might make sense if one assumes that pony names are like Plains Indian names: sound much better in their native language, are often translated literally to English even though they sound awkward after translation, and surnames are not a thing.

You mean the polls in forum threads? Are we doing this on-site? I assumed we'd be using the same voting system as the regular pony naming polls.
The devs are fixing poll creation. Apparently it's been broken for awhile and nobody noticed.

No — the site where these polls are held only works three weeks each month. if we used that we'd have to wait until the 1st of August.

I have always assumed they work like a combination of Eldar from Tolkien lore and racing horse naming conventions.

That I guess, but I was thinking more like they gain a formal/courtesy name of Mr/Mrs Sparkle or even Mr/Mrs Armor after their children were born even though they originally don't have these two suffixes in their original name.

Voting could be a Google Form with 3 options per row: "I don't like it" (-1), "I'm indifferent" (±0), "I like it" (+1). Then you simply count the score.
• You can simply copy the options from the spreadsheet you got into the form, and each line will be a separate option.
↑ that's a neat trick
• The user shouldn't have to fill out all answers, as not answering and answering with indifferent is the same.

Wow, that's a lot of suggestions. Pretty cool to see the ones I came up with are on it. I still don't think the Sphinx needs a name, though.

I only cared for the names in Poll A so I only voted in that one. I wished I picked more options but it's too late for that. C'est la vie.
@cheezedoodle
I voted for Beatrice/Beatrix Sunnyflower for bracket A, Sunflower Showcase for bracket B, and picked Showcase Spectacle and Beatrice/Beatrix Sunflower for bracket C.

I wish Kusu and Widdles weren't on these polls. Anyone agree?
Unless of course I'm alone in saying I don't want an mlp character named 'fart' or 'peeing'

I agree but there's not much I can do except vote for other options.

Yeah but hopefully they won't get voted. I voted for nothing on any Sphinx polls as I hate all these names tbh.

I'm indifferent to most of them at best and dislike a lot of them at most. I'm perfectly fine with her just being "The Sphinx".
