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!

Now I am really wondering, why did so many suggest “Posey” as name for her? I looked up that word again now, in Urban Dictionary, and most of the meanings it has are related to a certain personality or behavior, none of which fits or describes Fluttershy’s mom.  
I didn’t have any more clues as to why, until I came to this one:
 
 
“When you see a female you would love to have sexual intercourse with but also can’t stand any word that comes out of her mouth. A person that any interaction other than sexual is like listening to nails on a chalk board”
 
 
Now, that’s still not really descriptive of Fluttershy’s mom, because her voice doesn’t sound like “nails on a chalk board”. But I’m still worrying that this is the intention behind calling her “Posey” now. There is an especially high amount of clop for her, but not much else.  
Please don’t vote for a degrading name for her, everyone.

I see. Funny, I wonder if what I said was the motivation to call the G1 pony like that, instead. It wouldn’t surprise me if she had a voice that sounds like “nails on a chalk board” (not sure how sexually attractive the general population would find a G1 pony, though), that would fit to G1’s overall quality. xD

I personally really prefer if she didn’t have “Shy” in her name. Feel uninspired.  
Ponies don’t have the same naming convention we do. Don’t have last names, just A name.  
Can sometimes named after their parents, but that’s the closest you’d get. With some exceptions for some large families, like the Hoofields and Mccolts

When in doubt, I’d trust Urban Dictionary more than Wikipedia. But good to know that the term actually fits for her name. Now I don’t have to feel indifferent for voting Posey Blossom anymore.

I’m bothered by the same. It’s not wrong, per se, but also not necessary. Most ponies don’t have connecting surnames like that. It’s especially going to look odd if “Gentle Breeze” is going to win as name for Fluttershy’s Dad.

How would that change the oddity of Fluttershy’s Mom being named with “Shy” like she has a surname, but not her dad?

So even in the mane 6 alone we’ve got 3 instances of a child inheriting a name prefix or suffix from one parent, while the other parent has a completely unrelated name.
