I could see the Japanese name for Sphinx playing a role if we were in Japan, but we’re in Egypt. Just doesn’t sound right to me.
 
does not mean that other characters are not named after different countrys tho they are not from there in the show.
 
like Iron Will. He’s clearly a Minotaur wich is from Greek Mythology, yet he’s named like some sort of American workout nut. Would it not be better then if he was nemed something in greek?

I don’t know much about Egyptian lore, but I feel some good names for The Sphinx would be either: Isis, Nefertiti or Rosetta (Like the Rosetta Stone)

Look man I don’t care what you have to say at this point. You sock puppet, and you kusu-folk are militant about tagging big-purple as kusu. Kusu has been removed from this site more than once, I’ve had the name kusu shoved in my face since I started drawing the Sphinx. I don’t find it cute. I’m not buying. Kusu is my LEAST favourite candidate and it’s because you guys don’t know when to quit.

I agree with this.
 
@Raritybro  
I would wait at least until the show airs its last episode (and probably a bit after that) before considering fan names for these characters. You never know who will receive a canon name in a future episode or Q&A.
 
But will also say this:
 
@LightningBolt  
Definitely just “Sphinx” for the sphinx. I like Dandy Lion for Trixie’s mom and Nimbus Breeze and Posey Shy for Fluttershy’s parents too :D
seconded all of this.

Sphinx should just remain “The Sphinx.” Y’all can name the rest whatever but she’s pretty good as a nameless terror.

we mods talked it out among ourselves and figured it’d be apropos to give a heads up. in the interest of the spirit of the vote and the site itself, sockpuppeting or otherwise gaming names unfairly is a very good way to get that name disqualified from the vote. and believe you me, as sure as you were born we know when people are doing it.

i apolygise for doing that. I’m just so set in naming the sphinx like that cus it’s what i’ve hade given her as a name for me and a friends rp ever since the episode, and i tend to name characters by words but from a different language.
 
So i highly truly apolygise for sockpuppeting.

Edit: I’m allowed to make a new post every time I get a new idea right?

You’re pretty defensive over a bit of purple prose that wasn’t making any point… Though, speaking of Greece…
 
Phix. Why? Because that’s the actual name of the riddle making sphinx from Greek mythology, daughter of Echidna and Typhoon, and the only female sphinx, as the Egyptian ones were always male.
 
Your honor, I rest my case.
