In the spirit of Terry Pratchet (I still randomly crack at his "Freidegger") It's only recommended to use ponified celebrity names in fics. Some of those names migth as well be philosophers, and wouldn't it be cool if more people began using the same literary contortions?

The names Haydegger and Neighzsche already crossed my mind and I randomly fitted them in my newest fic.

What else are there?

I used Day Cart (Descartes) in one of my stories and got a laugh out of that. It's not exactly ponfied though, is it? It's a hard business sometimes to change names like that

Well, I could see it as a pony name. A bit weird name, but pony names often are.

Aristrottle

I like that one.

Just posted a story in which I have:

Hay Digger
Neightsche (author of Thus Spake Zecora)
De Whoavoir
Sartrot

...and another one, though it would be a huge spoiler so I'll have to leave it out. Suffice to say that he's a leading light in the Cloudsdale School.

David Hock

That actually is the name of a friend of mine.
