How about Puddle Jumper or Splish Splash?
Puddle Jumper sounds so cute, great name.
 
Thanks. The way she’s hopping around in that .gif reminds me of a child splashing in puddles,
 
@Wiimeiser  
@Scrounge
Of those two, Puddle Jumper sounds good…
 
I prefer that one too, actually.
 

Speaking of names, did you notice the stallion on the right has a cutie mark reminiscent of a dice game currently owned by Hasbro? Maybe we should just call him Yahtzee and be done with it. Or I suppose there’s Lucky Dice, or High Roller… plenty of options there.
I have a harder time coming up with ideas for the mare with the green tube of paint (at least that’s what it looks like to me) cutie mark. I did think Crimpy Curl might work (in part because because you can crimp and roll up a tube like that, in part because crimping and curling are hair things and she has an elaborate mane, and in part because Crimp n’ Curl ponies were a part of Hasbro’s 1993 Cabbage Patch Kids line).
 
For the mare, my instinct is to go with something that emphasizes the poofyness of her mane, like Fluffy Tufts or Cotton Curls. But that’s just me.
 
Yahtzee works fine for the stallion, but if you want something not quite so on-the-nose, how about Yacht Game (as a nod to the game’s official history)?
 
@Background Pony #124E  

His cutie mark is absolutely a polo helmet, so if you wanted obvious, Polo Play comes to mind. Or… I don’t know, Kingly Sport (since polo is actually known as the “sport of kings”)?
 
He’s blue, how about Water Polo?

Polls are now open for the first round of characters. For those that only had one or two suggestions, I added a third option, “Something Else” and ask that if you vote that, please make a suggestion here. If the options are really unappealing and that option wins, we’ll leave that character open for another round of voting.

@Chopsticks
Check your filters.
 
The filters are all on, but episodes still show, but I’m talking about the naming discussion. i.e. …
 
@cheezedoodle  
I would suggest that we stick to Discovery Family airing schedule for name discussion, to prevent the participation from being divided further. It’s not fair otherwise.
 
 
  • So far, I really like the click-and-vote options. +

Eh…. could we not?

@SecretTitan
Flowerescent is a great pun.
 
Love it.
 

Seriously, am I the only one who thinks his cutie mark looks like the hat from “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” segment of Fantasia?
 
No, that was the only thing I could think of actually. If we went by the Sorcerer’s Apprentice’s live action, the character’s name was “Dave Stutler”. Which could be ponified.
 
OR if we want to pretend that movie doesn’t exist for—reasons—we could ponify the origins of the animation. The original musical piece was subtitled “Scherzo after a ballad by Goethe”.
 
Scherzo is “a vigorous, light, or playful composition, typically comprising a movement in a symphony or sonata.” So that is the name suggestion I would give.
Background Pony #1A10

Actually, I was trying to reference the original animation.
 
Manny Brooms, because the short features an increasing number of runaway brooms, and Yen Sid, because that’s the name of the sorcerer.
 
 
@SecretTitan  
Huh… maybe we should call them Bait and Switch (mostly kidding on that, so don’t take it seriously).
