This gave me inspo to make a thing of ALL the reused names

Kinda. There are more ponies than you’d think in G4 who are based on older generations. I’m not a huge fan of the old G1 and G3 cartoons, but I do find it fascinating to try to follow the “lineage”, so to speak, of the G4 characters.
 
To complicate things further, there also exists an early G4 Blind Bag figurine named Fizzypop who’s clearly based on G3 Fizzy Pop.
 

 
I’m also pretty sure G3 Fizzy Pop is in turn based on G1 Fizzy. I understand she was something of a fan favourite. Just look at all the fanart of her on this site.
 

 
I’m really excited to see which characters get brought back and updated for G5 and not only from G4 but earlier generations as well.

You mean she existed before her debate in My Little Pony The Movie?

Some of their expressions are priceless, like “I was that?”

I can’t believe there two G3 ponies named Cheerilee.

@Myrica Gale  
And here’s G3 Fluttershy  

I just realised, that’s the wrong Cheerilee and there are actually two ponies named Cheerilee in G3.

And just for the heck of it, here’s G3 Moondancer.  

Minty?

 
 
This one took me far too long to notice. I kept wondering why people were drawing Tempest with a sundae cutie mark until finally one day I stumbled across an image of G3 Fizzy Pop.
