Naming Fluttershy's Parents, Trixie's Mom, and the Sphinx

VanillaBeam

I was hoping to name the Sphinx “Kusu”.
 
It’s a cute name myself and a friend came up with. It’s comes from a part of the Japanese word for Sphinx (Sufinkusu  
“スフィンクス”). It sounds like a cute pet name, and we wanted to stick with it ^^

Jinxy’s pretty darn good, sounds age appropriate and fits with the universe name wise.  
Also a bonus with ‘Jinx’ being a form of curse/spell it does pretty good with the Egyptian god theme.

Also, to further the name for Autumn Beauty:
 
Autumn: Since the colors of the season are usually orange, red and yellow, it would work out pretty nicely as it matches her coat and mane colors.
 
Beauty: Self explanatory
 
Autumn Beauty: Is a type of sunflower, which also reflects her cutie mark (though it also is an indirect reference, since I’d like to imagine her parents didn’t expect her to have that as her cutie mark and thought the name sounded nice for her).

I would wait at least until the show airs its last episode (and probably a bit after that) before considering fan names for these characters. You never know who will receive a canon name in a future episode or Q&A.
 
Same.

Somebody could ask Big Jim on Twitter what the in-house names for them were; if he just throws something out it’s a pretty good indication they ain’t reappearing with canon names before The End.

This, honestly. Also, sphinx (character) seems a fine name for her.

Naming the Sphinx is like naming the Chimera. Isn’t the Sphinx a good enough name? She’s supposed to be based on mythology. Anyway, Mr and Mrs Shy and a name for Trixie’s mom I’ve forgotten not good enough?

Were it up to me, I’d name the sphinx “Bangles”. Both because it sounds exactly like the kind of cutesy name someone would give a cat, and because it probably walks like an Egyptian.

Honestly the best suggestion in this thread thus far. Plus there’s nothing like a community event to take one’s mind of the depressing realization that the show has ended for good.
 
Just to clarify, I assume that’s meant to be the last episode per the Discovery Family airings? I can’t imagine why it would be otherwise, but probably best to clear that in advance.

perhaps. be that as it may, i feel as if it’s doing more harm than good to be inserting “we shouldn’t be doing this” or “this is pointless” comments into what’s already going to be an absolute nightmare for op to sift through.
 
in fact, we probably shouldn’t be discussing names with each other at all, so much as simply posting suggestions and a brief explanation if necessary. i feel as though the purpose of this thread is merely to milk name suggestions, while the actual vote will be the actual “discussion”. unless i misunderstood op’s post and he also wants active discussion about individual names…

There will be a poll afterwards of suggested names for each character, though yes the discussion may help as there is a limit to how many entries you can put in a poll.
 
Though for real, Fluttershy’s parents and Trixie’s mom, fine as they are. Fluttershy’s parents are basically canonically Mr. and Mrs. Shy anyway. Naming them anything else is unnecessary tbh.
