Nothing, we just don't want to insult people that have them.

We never saw Ditzy Doo. They could easily retcon that if they wanted.
It's true, "Derpy" is very Internet, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
Anyway, canon or not, she will always be Derpy to me.

So is "duh" and Pinkie Pie still says it.
Wait, what? "Duh" is just common english slang used to emphasize something seemingly obvious. Never heard it used in a way to make fun of mentally challenged people.
The problem I have with Derpy is that it's a bit too..."internet-land" if you ask me.
This too. "Derp" isn't even an actual word, but something the internet cooked up.
Though Faust did say "she can be Derpy to you if you want to."

Still a word.
"Duh" has the same root as "durr", the source of "derp". When used to point out something obvious, the implication is that you'd have to be unintelligent to think otherwise.

Just implying that something was or might have been obvious doesn't necesarrily mean calling someone mentally handicapped in a mocking way.
Just saying "duh" isn't bad. But making a retarded face and going all "durr" at someone could be pretty damn insulting.

But I agree that I'm used to calling her Derpy Hooves and that Ditzy Doo sounds kinda odd.

I didn't say "duh" did mean calling someone mentally handicapped in a mocking way, so I don't know what you're facepalming about. I just pointed out that the etymology is the same.
Calling a cartoon pony "Derpy" isn't the same as going up to somebody, making a face and going "durr" at them, either.
Edit: You call her "Derpy" too? Why are we arguing? This is stupid.

IDK, it started to feel like we were, and that would be a weird thing to argue about.
The Doctor has to have companions. But no reason Derpy can't hang out with both. It's not like being a companion of Doctor Whoof is a romantic commitment or whatever.

Well, as much as I'm used to Derpy, it just wouldn't... What's the word? Connect well with the non-internet crowd?
And Derpy is a pretty bad, but funny name.
And well, my point was that some people might think that the name combined with the crosseyedness is insesitive towards the mentally handicapped.
No personal issues with it, except that it just sounds like a stupid canon name, while fine as a Fan Nickname.

Besides, Ditzy Doo has already been mentioned, and it sounds like a pretty good pony name.

Still find Ditzy Doo kinda unappealing myself, though it's probobly a better choice for TV broadcasting than Derpy.

Well, Ditzy Doo is maybe the best we can come up for her.
And sorry about the arguement part. Some poor communication there.
I blame it on the flu affecting my... Thinking. Part. Thingy.

Don't worry about it, it's cool.
It's my fault, anyway, for my compulsive need to nitpick every fucking thing anyone says. Sorry about that.

Rarity/Fluttershy also works pretty damn well.
