This headfanon sounds actually nice. Why does nobody use it anymore?

@Background Pony #0731  
They weren’t “determined”. Everybody has different naming ideas.

@paluzna  
When did I say they weren’t fan names?

Hmm… Interesting.

Writer of the descriptions here:
 
@StinkomanFan  
Yeah I feel like I could have done much better, the 1st part is just superior.

Expect a re-work of these someday.
 
@Background Pony #1CD3  
as @Background Pony #0731 said, it’s just a remnant of /mlp/‘s reaction at the 1st EqG trailers, some of us expected the names to be altered to sound more human (it is what caused the birth of “Brad” as a different character) we kept this naming habit to differentiate “our” vision of BG humans.  
It’s pretty much “complete headcanon territory” so you’re free to imagine them with different names.  
(Just a friendly advice: don’t come to the /nn/ thread to say that you want a different name for X character, no change is gonna happen.)
 
Also, for all those even little curious about this rag-tag band of unlucky bastards, please, come give a look at our humble general on 4chan, “The Bradical Adventures in Canterlot High”.

@Red Yellow Moon  
the names, i meant the names :l  
most of them start whit “human” name and end whit a chuklefuck “pony” name.
 
and you do realize these all are fan names, right?

@Red Yellow Moon  
Well most of the names were determined by /mlp/ some time ago.  

@paluzna  
What do you mean by “half human half “pony”? If it’s because they appeared in the EqG world, then what about the Mane 6, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Big Macintosh, etc?

@paluzna  
Nolan is another background character in EqG

@Background Pony #1CD3  
well, they are half human half “pony”.

@StinkomanFan
 
None taken.

why are tehy human names when in eqg the names were still their pony names.. I’ll stick to calling them BG characters over “Timothy” lawl…

No offence but a good chunk of these characters sound… bland.
