My Little Pony III: The Great & Powerful Thread

[Evil DM Mark3]

In my ceramic class, I was designing a greek helmet. For one of creatures on the helmet: I made a Triunicorn (three prong horn is better than one). I even gave it a cutie mark.

What mark? The internet (well, me) has to know.

[Starbuck_II]

Originally he was going to be some sort of designer guy with a cutie mark based on an incredibly bad pun (blue hoofprints = blueprints. Geddit?), but now he's backstoryless. So, I guess he needs one of those as well.

Three Shoe? I know not very epic, but it fits him. He is the shoemaker.

What mark? The internet (well, me) has to know.

Just a Triforce (like Legend of Zelda). Once it is complete and fired, maybe I'll take a picture of that side of helmet and post it here.

[Mystic Muse]

Hm. Horseshoes are a symbol of luck. He could be a gambler pony named... Lucky Shoes?

But they're upside down which is unlucky.

[PhoeKun]

Hm. Horseshoes are a symbol of luck. He could be a gambler pony named... Lucky Shoes?

While that is an awesome name, sadly his horseshoes are all facing the wrong way to be symbols of luck (in fact, I think downward facing horseshoes are a bad omen).

So if a gambler pony he be, he'd have to be something like Last Chance. Alternatively, he could be employed by the pony casinos and his cutie mark would represent the house advantage, in which case we name him Ace.

[Starbuck_II]

Wouldn't it be, Aces Wild, because every pony has 2 part names?
Except Rarity or the Trixie.

I guess he can be an individual like them with just Ace.

[Mystic Muse]

I think I'm going to go with soft serve. Thanks guys!

[darthbobcat]

Also, the exceptions to the Two Name thing prove the rule: Rarity and Trixie are both kind of arrogant ponies, and in real life, people who go by one name do so because they expect you to know WHICH Madonna they are.

Uh... Fluttershy.

[Trobby]

Soft Serve delightfully suits your pony.

As for the pony with hoof marks on his flank, I see a smith myself. Maybe (as the down-pointing shoes indicate) one who is down on his luck, but a smith nonetheless.

Therefore, I give him the name...

Cast Ore!

@One-name Ponies: Applejack is one name as far as I can tell.

In fact, naming convention seems to be "you get exactly one name and, while you may be connected to a family, it is less important" for the pony universe. Otherwise, the name "Big Macintosh" would imply a huge lack of creativity on the Macintosh family. ;p

In fact, isn't it implied that their last name is Applebuck? So then maybe one's "first name" can be two words if desired, or one word if not.

[Starbuck_II]

Ooh, now I want a naming episode so we can know the pony procedure.

[Castel]

In case anyone missed it: new awesome video.

Poor Rainbow Dash.

Then my Pony's last name is smoothie.

I get the best of both worlds!

[darthbobcat]

Uh... Fluttershy.

But her name is a compound word, so it fits the two name thing. But Trixie and Rarity are only one word each.

[Castel]

Uh... Fluttershy.

Not to mention Rainbow Dash being pretty high on the arrogance levels.

[Soilborn]

Keep in mind that many if not most of the ponies in this show have names that are lifted directly from or are derivative names from the original 80s show. And back then they were simply marketing ploys just like Pound Puppies (bleh) or Transformers (awesome). The pony universe likely lacks any naming convention as stringent as what even the most basic of societies enforce on earth.

It basically boils down to us thinking too much about it. They have names, the names fit them, that's about it.

On another topic, who's cranking out pony avatars?

[Evil DM Mark3]

Any ideas for this guy's name?

[SlyGuyMcFly]

Poor Rainbow Dash.

Where's that "So Awesome" image when I need it?

[Mystic Muse]

Any ideas for this guy's name?
<---

Well, is he an evil Doctor or an evil DM?

[Jahkaivah]

Bad Horse?

[Mystic Muse]

Bad Horse?

I say go with this.

[darthbobcat]

Not to mention Rainbow Dash being pretty high on the arrogance levels.

Okay fine. While I count Fluttershy as a compound name and thus two names, I was mistaken that single name = arrogance.

[Trobby]

Any ideas for this guy's name?
<---

Oooh, that one's hard...

I think we need more info on him. He's clearly a mad scientist kind of guy, but what KIND of mad doctor is he? Is he into the crackling electricity type of powers? The evil experiments on biological life forms type? Or is he more of a mixed bag?

Moreover, is he a card-carrying mad scientist? And his his madness more of an "I'm superior and carry myself as such" sort of mad, or more of an "I hold a grudge against the world!" sort of mad?

All these things make a difference. Though judging by his body...I'd say...Dr. Beaker, just for starters.


Incidentally, whenever Alterform finishes my ponytar (not rushing, just saying I'm thinking ahead), I've come up with a name for him.

He shall be...Floppy Disk!

[Welf]

Dr. Equus von Umbringen?

[TSA]

Poor Rainbow Dash.

Welp, at least I now have something else than Art of the Dress going round in my head.

How can these songs be so catchy? I was fixing my bikes today and I played AotD once. I then played it again. Then I decided to just roll with it and stuck it on repeat. I was still singing along the fifteenth time around.

I don't think that qualifies as sane anymore.

Guess I just got to

[RdMarquis]

I'm a little fixated on his two pairs of eye wear. Double Specs or Six Eyes?

[Orzel]

Beaker?
Labcoat?
Twin Specs?

Naming isn't my special talent.

Given the immense power of friendship, and his status as an earth pony and thus his inability to use magic, plus his status as a rational scientist in a world where magic exists, I think he is fixated on trying to harness friendship into a weaponised form, either to seize power from Princess Celestia (regular) or in the service of her empire (Iron Hoof). "You shall ALL be my friends, whether you like it or not! HAHAHA!"

[ZombyWoof]

Why can't he be siezing power from Celestia in iron hoof?

[SiuiS]

MWahahahaha! We shall take over the internet!


And then I'll have more people to hug =3

Shine on, you adorable tyrant <3

66% compleat.

Fix'd

Dr. Equus von Umbringen?

YES.

[darthbobcat]

Beaker?
Labcoat?
Twin Specs?

What would a naming cutie mark look like?
