Naming Background Ponies Thread!

That classical model of the atom makes me really want a name that involves either Rutherford or Bohr.

I’d prefer to stay away from human names, myself. Perhaps Outer Shell or Quantum Leap?

Not to mention we already have Prince Rutherford. Human names fit better for non-ponies usually.

Oh, yeah, I agree about not using human names. I just really wish there was a good way to make some sort of fun reference since the Rutherford-Bohr model is kind of what he has there.
Quantum Leap isn’t bad. How do you feel about Valence Shell?

Human names have origins in nouns too, though. White Breast, Lake Lander, Echo Child, Blessed One, Wolf-Bear… (See if you can guess what names I’m referencing)
Bronwyn, Lachlan, Kyouko, Ilisapesi, Ulfbjorn

I mean, that’s why some of my AU names tend to be direct translations of their canon names. Havijtâp, Ataraseray, Azaspares, Talayiangur, Kamandagsom… Guess who are these.

Carrot Top, Firelight, Shining Armor, Goldengrape and Bow Hothoof. I’ll assume that Derpy and Dinky are somehwere there in yours.

I’ll go with this name for the atom cutie mark one too.

Also, other thing i’ve noticed:
32 and 33 appeared in Grannies Gone Wild and 38 appeared in that episode plus Once Upon A Zeppelin. something to keep in mind when tagging them.

Pretty much all the same characters appear in background scenes in any Las Pegasus episode. Grannies Gone Wild, Viva Las Pegasus, Once Upon A Zeppelin, Friendship University share most of the same characters.
I’ve been thinking about making a tag called “Las Pegasus Resident” to be implied by any of those characters, and have the long description >>#s each of them for easy identification. Same for “Student of Friendship” for the students.

Prepares Pinkie-style extensive filing system, checked by Twilight, double-checked by Spike
I like this idea. Rounding up and grouping pony sightings would make them a lot easier to find.

Should we then do this not also for Ponies from other towns like Canterlot, Appleloosa or Manehattan because these Cities has also their own BG-Ponies?

The Equestrian Zodiac
Still got the suggestion, Little Violet, for her name.
Maybe Amber Locks could be a nice fit for her.
