When the polls were first set up, we didn’t have a clear idea on how many submissions would be made and (at the time) the site limited polls to 10 entries. With the number of entries upped to 20 per poll, multiple rounds are no longer necessary, so a few changes are going to be made from what was announced in the initial post.
 
  1. This is the final poll. It’s still multiple choice, so you can and should vote for all the entries you like.  
  2. The #1 vote-earner will become the primary tag for the character.  
  3. The #2 vote-earner will become an alias of the primary tag.  
  4. All existing tags will become aliases of the new primary tag. This means that (for example) even if two brand-new names win for Mrs. Shy, the Mrs. Shy and Posey Shy tags will still remain aliases.  
  5. For the Shy parents, in the interest of keeping parity between the name tags, Mr. Shy and Mrs. Shy will only remain the primary tags if both those options win their respective polls. It would be odd for one parent to have a fan name as their primary tag and the other to go without one.
     
    This poll will run for 7 days. Ballot order is randomized. Once again, votes will be monitored for sockpuppet voting and moderation will be applied as needed.
     
    Good luck to the submitters!

Not if you take a stratus cloud and swirl it around. Remember that pegasi can do that, they are able to transform and shape clouds.
 
 
I would like everyone to consider the name “Stratus Swirl” for a moment. His cutie mark are three clouds and he is collecting clouds. I think that gives sufficient evidence for it that he once worked in the weather factory as a cloud shaper, his job being to create and shape the clouds that go up into the sky, before he retired. Which would naturally include changing the shape of clouds and move them around a lot, maybe swirl them in the process.  
And now that he is retired, but still loves his job, he is collecting clouds instead as a replacement for the work he can’t do anymore. All of these things considered, Stratus Swirl is the best of the suggested names, as it implies all of that.

Theory? It’s a well-established fact that ponies are named after their special talents. How that is possible before they know their special talents is indeed a matter of theories, but nearly everypony has a name that reflects their special talent in one way or another.

Their name sometimes reflects what they do, yes. However, we all know the writers design a character, then give them a name based on their role and/or appearance. Many pony names are completely batshit unreasonable choices to name a child (Filthy? Troubleshoes? Hayseed Turnip Truck?)
 
Fictionally, I think it makes more sense for a character’s talents and interests to develop in response to their given name and the guidance and expectations of their parents, rather than their name and talent being tied to the wiles of some cosmic fate-force.
 
How do Pinkie Pie, Cheerilee, Braeburn, Cadance, Junebug, Meadowbrook, Maud Pie, Sapphire Shores, Mistmane, Stellar Flare, or Blossomforth’s names reflect their special talents?

The ‘Braeburn’ is a cultivar of apple that is firm to the touch with a red/orange vertical streaky appearance on a yellow/green background. Its color intensity varies with different growing conditions.
Hybrid parentage ‘Lady Hamilton’ × ‘Granny Smith’
Maude (approximately pronounced “mawd” in English), is an Old German feminine given name meaning “powerful battler”. It is a variant of the given name Matilda but is uncommon as a surname. The Welsh variant of this name is Mawd.
Huh. I learned something new.  
And if we break down the name, Meadowbrook
M1. a piece of grassland, especially one used for hay.
M2. a piece of low ground near a river.
B. a small stream.
Which could be loosely attributed to having a deeper connection to those lands. Other names are a stretch. Like Stellar Flare, mostly because we haven’t seen them show what their special talent was. (If they did, please spoiler if it’s a plot point in comic/later episode) Junebug is also hard to connect. Bug that eats plants and flowers. Cannot figure what the others may be.

Kinda don’t care for gentle breeze. It’s not bad but Zephyr means ‘a gentle breeze’ So is he naming his kid after himself?
