Eh, it rhymes and has a rhythm to it, so that sounds kinda fake.

What would you guess the other ponies last names are? Applejack Apple? Fluttershy?

Rarity Belle has a nice ring to it.

I stand by my hypothesis that Fluttershy has eight middle names and her established identity is actually an acronym (acponym?) for her full name.

I say Ponies only have one name unless proven otherwise.

That fits into my headfanon that she came from a rich family, but her parents disowned her after she failed flight school and began living like a hippie.

That seems odd. So some people have last names and others don't?

I am interested in your hypothesis, share with us.

Edit: God damnit ninjas.

I came up with one a few pages back.

Francesca Louisa Ualani Theresa Tagioalisi Etherea Rhianna Sophia Hadara Yellowstar.

Three are from other languages and two I just made up.

It's not a 'first name' 'last name' thing, It's all ponies have only one name, but some of them have names that are two or more words long.

Its triple-barelled names that bother me. Weird to read, and seems pompous.

Which probably could fit as a name for Rarity, if there's more to it. And maybe Bluelood.

Oh FUCK they got Spike. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/11/more-blind-bag-names-sosoft-pinkie.html My fault for wishing for another Spike toy.

The names you made up are probably more reasonable than the ones based on reality.

Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho? Maybe.

Actually: guessing game. Which names are from non-English languages, and which did I make up? You get bonus points if you can identify the one I pinched from Schlock Mercenary.

Tagioalisi

Correct!

Rhianna the singer, right?

UNDER MY UMBRELLA-ELLA-ELLA-ELLAAAA

Does anyone else share my headfanon about Fluttershy coming from a rich family? I find it hard to believe a shy animal caretaker who lives in a cottage near the woods would know about French haute couture without some kind of odd background.

I sort of like the idea... except for the fact that I extremely don't like the thought that her parents 'disowned' her, or are ashamed of her. The fact that she's rich might go a bit of ways towards explaining her shy personality (high society, keep quiet type thing), but I'm sure her parents would be fully supportive of her no matter what. One way or another, that sweet personality of hers has to come from somewhere.

"Oh Celestia! Is that a rabbit in this house?!"

Eh, I can see an episode where the Mane 6 try and get Fluttershy and her parents to reconcile, but Fluttershy is freaking out. In the end, it turns out her parents missed her and have accepted her for what she is.

Yeah... I can sort of see them having trouble... joining in, with her lifestyle, and she might be really nervous about letting them down in some way, but in the end they'd love her none the less, and try really hard to help her feel accepted.

Heh. All of their family problems could come from the fact that none of them are any good at talking about feelings. So they just keep sort of skirting around each other - Shy thinking she's disappointing her parents, and her parents thinking they've accidentally scared off their daughter, and both parties are too afraid of a confrontation to actually come out and say that they love each other.

I think that would be a really good episode idea.

"Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I learned that, while being quiet and not liking to talk is perfectly fine, and even better for a lot of situations, sometimes a pony needs to know how to fucking talk to somepony else. Seriously. Like, jesus christ, they've been dodging around this for 5 fucking years.

Yours truly, Twilight Sparkle"

Fluttershy's dad is that guy from Manehatten who didn't know what a rooster is, because they're rich and they don't associate with animals.

Was he even a pegasus?
