So we know that practically everypony from Equestria has a human counterpart through the mirror with the same skin colour and hair, similar personality and even the same name. Sometimes though, this has been a bit perplexing to me.

Now I get WHY they chose to design them this way, so we can easily identify who's meant to be a counterpart to whom, such as human Rainbow Dash having blue skin, rainbow hair and the same name as her pony double. And also so the kid audiences wouldn't get so confused.

So my question is: If you had to, what HUMAN names would you give their human counterparts?

For example, (this is just off the top of my head so forgive me if it sounds stupid) I might call Applejack's human double Abigail-Jacqueline Apple, that way she could still retain her nickname "AJ" and Rainbow could possibly poke fun at her name sounding similar to Applejack which she could use as her other nickname.

5064438 So far the closest I have gotten are the following.

Tabitha Sparks

Amber Jackson

Rachel Dawson

Raquel

Felecia Summers

and Patty Peterson. Mind you these were not intended for use like this, they are just barely close enough that they could be.

5064438 Flash would be Vincent. Twi would be Tara. Soarin would be Michale or Edward. Dash would be Sarah or Jessie.

Mac doesn't need to change, neither does Applejack(Or she could just be called AJ) Sunset would be Abigail. Bulk Biceps would be Brian or Bruce.

Cheese Sandwich would be Al. Pinkie would be Dee Dee. Rarity would be Jasmine. Fluttershy would be May.

Thunderlane would be Josuke. Vinyl would be Ashely. Neon Lights would be Derek.

That's all I got for now.

5064438

Twila Sparks (Twilight)

Ally Jackson (AJ)

Rachel Dash (RD)

Renee Richards (Rarity)

Flora Summers (Fluttershy)

Penny Pinky (Pinkie Pie)

5064438

Xanthe Coi.

Figure that one out.

5064438 I've actually thought a bit about this before, not much though. So, here are the names I like:
Twilight Sparkle=Tiffany
Pinkie Pie=Penny
Applejack=Abigail Jacqueline
Rainbow Dash= Ridley
Rarity=Elizabeth ("Beth" for short)
Fluttershy=Faith
Sunset Shimmer=Stephanie
Flash Sentry=Brad

5064497 Stephanie is so perfect for Sunset. It works as a bad-bitch name but it can also be super friendly!

Scootaloo's human counterpart would be named Scota.

Believe it or not, that's a legitimate girl's name. It's Gaelic too, which makes it really awesome.

5064438 Everyone has such silly names for RD…

She'd be Raina Dash duh

5064497 I have an even better idea for rainbow's human name: Iris. Iris, if you don't know, was the Greek Goddess of Rainbows. Pretty good connection, huh?

What a coincidence! My human name for Twilight is the same as yours! but for Rainbow it's Rachel Dawn and for Pinkie Pie it's Patricia Patterson, Rarity, Reina Wilson, Fluttershy, Francine Harp, and for Apple Jack, Amelia Jackson.

Wouldn't it be weird to see Big Mac with red skin. Everyone would think he got a nasty sunburn

Been prepared for this one a LONG time ago:

Twilight Sparkle = Trisha Sparks
Applejack = Abagail Jackson

Shining Armor = Samuel Archer Sparks
Snips and Snails = Sam and Shawn
Trixie = Trixie (Trixie is a human name, no it needs no change)
Sunset Shimmer = Susan Shirley
Moondancer = Molly Delia
Starlight Glimmer = Stephanie Gabriella

5064438 Sunset Shimmer- Sabrina

....You know, if someone must mark my post down they could at least tell me why.

5065199 Nice ones :)

I go with "Rachel" for Rainbow Dash just because of the precedent set by Animorphs :)

5297190: You ain't fooling anyone with the altered names here; you stole these ideas from my names and added your own.
