I recently had a chance to look at paint colors, and one thought stuck in my mind.
These sound like the names of background ponies.
So I decided to make a little quiz out of it. Below are thirty names. Can you identify which are colors of paint, and which are the names (official or fan-made) of ponies? Or could it be both?

Any readers of the New Scientist Feedback column will likely be familiar with the concept of Nominative Determinism—the idea that some authors, consciously or not, gravitate to a professional area which in some way matches their name. While the academic value of this theory is limited—although apparently some studies have done enough robust analysis to conclude that this is a genuine effect, and not just the result of
Hello there everypony! My has it been a long time since I have seen you all much less done a blog post!
It's nice to see all your loving faces and hating comments!

In the shower a couple days ago I was mindlessly reciting a metal song and then had to go check a translation on my laptop. So basically, the name "Joachim" is actually from Hebrew, "Yoyaqim", meaning roughly, "whom God will establish" or "whom God will set-up" (it's from a verb that literally means, "to cause to stand up", "to establish", or "to set up").
When it come to EqG fics, does it bother anime to see real-world names in a world where everyone had a pony-style name?

Just curious to know what you think.

Well, okay. If you want more, I should have the next chapter up on Friday barring any new assignments at work. I'm thoroughly enjoying working on this one, so I'm writing at a pretty good clip.

Hat tip to RobCakeran53 (author of My Little Dashie) for bringing her (I assume) to my attention.
Boy, it's been a while since I've written a worldbuilding blog post. And this one's gonna be kind of short--there are a couple of possible resources that you might find helpful, and down at the bottom, there's also an update to Science II. I'll mark that somehow so you can skip it if you heeded the warning on Science II.
...of the existence of White Lightning. Or, at least, that that particular pegasus is named thus.
Welp. I guess now I know who the moonshiner is in Ponyville, huh? And it's not the Apple monopoly I expected.
Yes, I am aware this is a rather random assortment of topics.
Hello everyone and welcome to the Question of the Week. It is the 1st of March and hopefully the weather will continue to improve her in Spokane.
A while back I had asked if perhaps I should go through a redesign of my OC, Robipony. This week's question is, what would be a good pony name for Robipony?
