Naming Fluttershy's Parents, Trixie's Mom, and the Sphinx

Fluttershy’s dad: Cloud Cone  
Sphinx: Giza

I personally always called Trixie’s mom Summer Showcase myself

@cheezedoodle  
then how aboat we all go ask them on twitter it save everyone time and won’t cuase a fight over name the character.  
becuase if everyone going say name they think fit for character. and if they rely just straw poll the name.

@galaxy eq  
Go ahead, sounds like a great idea

Okay, here me out…
 
Sphinx: Bastet (based on the Egyptian goddess of cats)  
Trixie’s Mom: Sun Flower  
Fluttershy’s Parents: Nimbus(the dad) and Posey(the mom) Shy

@mjangelvortex  
Japanese Plant?
 
Kusu (with an S and not a Z) is a part of the full japanese translation of Sphinx. Wich is Sufinkusu. Again, Sufinkusu is japanese for Sphinx, and not a plant!

@Johnnyxluna  
Gotta admit, it reminds me of kudzu too.
 
Oh no, what have I done? Badumsquish! Don’t look at this! We don’t need adorable tentacle-plant sphinxes!⸮

@Johnnyxluna  
it more commonly means “fart” in tamil. i thought that was the joke, to be honest.  

@DanielTepesKraus  
well it’s not. Kusu is nickname of Sufinkusu mening Sphinx in Japanese. So if anything if people want to name her sphinx, but still wanna be uniqe, then give her the name Sufinkusu.

@Johnnyxluna
 
I was on board with Kusu until it turned weeb.

@Johnnyxluna
 
Kusu anyone? :^)  

@Damaged  
Lets call them “Daisy”.

@Dustcan  
turned into weeb?

@Johnnyxluna  
I believe they’re referring to the practice of taking a Japanese word, chopping an arbitrary part off it and using that as a nickname.
 
Example: Shortening kitsune to sune, which doesn’t work because the syllables don’t line up. Ki tsu ne, not kit sune.

@Damaged  
Only weebs would get this militant over a name. The dots are connecting.

@Johnnyxluna
 
Kusu was cute before it turned out to be a portion of the Japanese pronunciation.

No name for the Sphinx pls

@Wispy Tuft  
I think whoever put forward Sphinxy McSphinxface had the right of it.

@Dustcan  
Wich is why i say to name her Sufinkusu and have Kusu to be a nickname.

@Damaged  
Sphinxy mcsphinxface really is a god tier name.

Khafre for the sphinx (name of someone entombed within)  
Bloom Vega (star princess according to tanabata since Bellatrix is a star)  
Cirrus Gust (father) and Meadow Bouquet (mother)

all discussion aside, i did some googling. i don’t think we can actually use kusu in the first place. it’s a copyrighted product that’s trademarked which, according to the op, we’re avoiding for this.

@Johnnyxluna  
COUGHweeb

I thought Trixie’s mom already had a name..

@DanielTepesKraus  
This is a good day
