Alright, question time: We have Rule 63 ponies. They are awesome.
For Pinkie Pie, we have Bubble Berry.
Twilight Sparkle is Dusk Shine.
Rainbow Dash is Rainbow Blitz.
Rarity is Elusive.
Fluttershy is Butterscotch.
Applejack is, well, still Applejack.
Then, we have Solaris (Celestia)
Applebud (Applebloom)
Red Gala, or Macareina (Big Macintosh)
Barbara, shortened to Barb (Spike)
And I believe we have one for Zecora, named Zircon.
My question is: What do we call our favourite cross-eyed mailmare? Derpy Hooves. What's to be done with that? I'd like to hear the ideas of anyone who reads this. I have an idea cooking, and Derpy's my favourite, so she needs to be in it. Big problem if there's no well-known name, isn't it? I'd be delighted to feature the best (in my opinion) name, and would credit the contributor in the story. Additionally, if you have any other good r63 names for the others, don't hesitate to tell me.
I prefer Connor Cogwork's Applebloom alternative, Applebuck.
As for Derpy, I figure that's one of those names that's good for boy or girl, just like Applejack.
106940 Oh, wow, I like that! Applebuck... that's properly clever! Okeydoke, we got one vote for continuing with Derpy.
Check out Connor's stories, particularly On a Cross and Arrow, and it's sequel On a Whisper of Wind.
Connor advises on his page that he didn't come up with the names of the male main 6, he got those from Trotsworth on Deviantart, with permission. If it sounds like I'm tooting Connor's horn, it's because I am, it's easily one of my favourite stories on fimfiction.
