I Lied! Last Horse Poll I Swear · 12:28am Nov 27th, 2015
Since the votes between Paramount and Exclusive were so close, and because a third write-in contender was an excellent suggestion that was never fairly voted on, I've decided to do one last poll. I swear this is the end.
This will confirm Paramount, or if there is a substantial consensus on one of the other two choices, to switch.
I Pinkie Pie swear: no more hawt f**goty dresshorse polls!
This one, however, is going to be post-here-only. Write your choice for Rarity's new rule 63 name in bold, then provide your reasoning afterwards. For example:
Paramount
Because it won fair and square, and I like how it sounds. Plus, "mount" is horsey.
The three choices you can defend are:
Curio (the write-in)
Exclusive
Paramount
This time I won't be voting. Again, if there isn't a substantial sea change, Paramount will remain the winner. Think carefully, and thanks for the participation!
I definitely like Curio. It has the same flow as Rarity, but it also sounds more... masculine, whereas Paramount has a neutral tint.
Exclusive
Because it keeps the "limited resource" fell of 'Rarity'.
I still love Eminence, but...
Exclusive.
I thought R63 Rarity was Elusive. Not Exclusive or whatever any of those choices are.

Read back a few blog entries for context, please. I don't like most of Trotsworth's rule 63 names, which is why I only used three in Back to Normal. In the rewrite I want to get rid of those three as well. This is why I've been polling for the past four entries.
I rather like Curio, in part because it seems the most 'name-like' of the names, and does sort of have a masculine feel to it, for Shakespearean values of 'masculine'.
Much as I like Paramount, I'm voting for Curio because that's such a breakaway from the standard R63 scheme for Rarity. It's so clever!
Internet rule 99: when you think it's the last poll, there's another one looming out.
I'll Vote Curio has a nice ring to it. Though I prefer Elusive.And I think a change in name would be cool.
I nominate 'White Fashion Butt' as my choice
Just ran across this, maybe I missed it but hasnt the fandom decided on the names of the R63 ponies? I mean this will be like human fics that give the mane six human names you'll spend most of the fix trying to go, "Okay which one is this again?"
