Naming Background Ponies Thread!

Do we ever sync our names with those on the Wiki, i.e. submit them to Reddit to vote on them or check the Wiki for new pony names?

@Pulse Wave  
I don’t believe we do, no. Or at least, I’ve never seen a concerted effort to do so.

@Frustration in Excelsis  
People attempt to unify the names sometimes, but there’s nothing official going on.

Caught another one with already existing name suggestions:  
 
The suggestions are Quartz Quartet, Rosy Voice, Cantora.
 
And one that seems to have a name already:  
 
Floral Pattern? (This tag has been used twice so far.)
 
Another unnoticed name suggestion:  
 
Daisy Doughnut.
 
One more for today, a stallion for a change:  
 
The suggestion is Diamond Dust.

Sorry, but both of those made me think of Sonic.

 
While it’s been a year (hard to believe that, huh?), what name do you think we should give her?
 
Likewise for Mistmane’s parents?
 
 

@EPPony  

 
None of the Chinese or Japanese words for “purple” sound that good…

@EPPony  

 
Tranquil Winds and Everblossom

@sageconvert  

 
Something you want to tell us?

@Binkyt11  

 
I agree with these.

@sageconvert  
I hate spam accounts

@EPPony  
Blooming Lotus or Floating Lotus for her mother, Misty Raindrop for her father.
 
@Pulse Wave  
@LightningBolt  
I like those gem names for this stallion.

Is anyone willing to try naming the yaks, or not diverse enough?

@Chopsticks  
I’d love to name some Yaks. Any you have in mind?

@Chopsticks

Well, female yak names obviously all seem to start with y. Yona, Yigrid, Yojan, etc. Male yak names seem to have a tendency to be a mixture of British, Irish, Scottish. Everything that she sounds a little Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Norwegian and Flemish, would be legitimate too, because in the course of the settlement of Britain they had a great influence on the naming.
 
My favorite example is the Bayeux Tapestry. Of course everyone knows the names William (the Conqueror) and his brothers Robert and brother Odo. But when you look at the carpet, you read the following names: Willelm, Rotbert and well, Odo. These are Norman variations of the German names Wilhelm (like the famous German emperor), Rotbart (Red Beard) and Otto (also the name of an emperor).
 
My point is that people back then did not use the English names that are so well known today. Therefore I would rather use the original forms of their names for yaks as well.
 
For example: Harry (known) Heinrich (origin) -> Heimrich/Hinrich/Henric/Henrik
 
Sorry, I couldn’t think of a better example. But I think I could make myself clear. I don’t have concrete suggestions for a yak name, but I like Rotbert/Rotbart because it fits with the fur of the yaks. ;-)

I didn’t think anyone would take that suggestion seriously, but I thought we could start with these two.
 
 
Vidor. It’s Hungarian in origin, means “happy”.
 
 
 
I suggest Yettie, a form of Henrietta. The waitress is serving ice cream in the freezing north.

@Chopsticks
 
A waitress with a fine French mustache? :-D

@DarkObsidian  
Those are some good tips to keep in mind when naming them. Thank you.
 
@Chopsticks  
I like these names.

@mjangelvortex
 
You’re welcome. :-)
 
A bit of historical, archaeological and linguistic knowledge has never done any harm, and if I can help with that, I am happy to share it with you. Besides, I like the Yaks a lot. ;-D

@DarkObsidian  
Please do keep sharing. :D

@EPPony  

 
Hmm. Morning Fog? It’d go nicely with Mistmane’s own name.

@Frustration in Excelsis  
Morning Fog’s a pretty good name too.

@mjangelvortex
 
I will. With respect and humility. I don’t force myself on either, I just find this thread very interesting. Even if I’m usually silent. ;-D
