^Like I said, Hasbro-worship. It appears on a card and you consider it to be “official”; nevermind that no-one may ever think of that printed card again, or that the nickname was adopted from the fandom.
 
It was a shout-out, like all the trading cards, nothing more.

No. Thanks to the history of the fandom, some ponies are just going to have at least two tags:
 
Carrot Top/Golden Harvest  
Colgate/Minuette  
Doctor Whooves/Time Turner  
Amethyst Star/Sparkler
 
Please don’t alias any of these. It will cause nothing but a gigantic shitstorm. Even bigger than what episode 5 of season 3 will. Please don’t do it!

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

^That seems Hasbro-worship to me: “Carrot Top” is in no way an official nickname, just a shout out on a trading card targeted at bronies. If it wasn’t a fanon name, it would never have existed on the trading card either.
 
Sparkler became Sparkler because her cutie mark matched the G2 pony by the way; naming ponies after the previous-gen counterparts being one of the naming methods in the early brony days. (There are a handful of other BG ponies who got the same fanon treatment, the difference is that Sparkler was the one to become a prominent pony due to Stuff.)

@Spaceman Craig  
“Carrot Top” is officially a nickname for Golden Harvest.  
“Colgate”, however… Is nothing.
 
@BP  
Yeah, aliasing fanon names to canon names would be a good idea.
 
@The Smiling Pony  
Ahem, “Sparkler” is the canon name of the Generation 1 pony in which Rarity was based on…

I’d think it’d make the most sense for ponies with more than one name to just each have their names all aliased to their most official name; that’d save tag space (which I recall hearing takes up disk space) and help ensure that the same images can be found and/or filtered no matter which name a person decides to use.

Problem is lots of people refer to that blue unicorn with an hourglass as ‘Colgate’ so it makes more sense to add both names onto images than just alienating those who call her Colate and being like ‘hurr, she is MINUETTE you dummy’

@Spaceman Craig:
 
“Carrot Top” became official in the trading cards, as Golden Harvest’s in-universe nickname; the “carrot top” tag just needs to be aliased to or associated with the “golden harvest” tag.
 
I’ve actually been meaning to bring “Colgate” up; the “colgate” tag could serve a useful purpose as a tag for images involving the Colgate brand and/or Colgate products, instead of just being an unnecessary additional tag for images involving Minuette.

@Craig
 
And thus why I feel like my idea of wanting both names on images isn’t as bad an idea as one Anon seems to think…

@The Smiling Pony: Not on the G4 show, but even if G1 Sparkler doesn’t count, there’s technically a G4 Sparkler in concept art (from before she was developed into G4 Rarity).
Background Pony #CEFB
@Starly: This pony is officially named Amethyst Star, and a pony other than this one is officially named Sparkler, so the “sparkler” tag belongs to that other one, not this pony.

Again a BG pony removes the name ‘sparkler’ from these images. WHY? Just to be a dick?  
Please stop, there’s nothing wrong with having both names..

Take this despair!
Whoops… I though that this was the first image here. Er… Can you delete it for real. I was just testing out the codes.
