Sparkleheart Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 So, we've got THIS floating around:Now to start bets on who it might be! My money's on Octavia or Vinyl Scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDashieXx Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Good guess, but i think it is going to be Derpy!! QUEEN OF THE MUFFINS FOREVER!! ;3 ;3 :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz:But, Octavia is also a good one!!-xXDashieXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huscarl Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Sadly, Derpy has already been named, and I think we all know how bad that turned out...... I'd put my money on Lyra. But I will be happy regardless, it's always nice to see interaction from the community and the show.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoExlucky Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'll bet on Octavia, I mean we have her as an official plush so it's not like they know she hasn't got attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RarityDash Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'd say Octavia as well. I believe it was after Equestria Girls came out that the staff said they don't really consider Vinyl a background pony. She also has had an official name for a while. I don't know if there's quite as much that can be done with Lyra on a major scale either, so I don't know if I'd t expect her. Octavia just makes the most sense.

Slazer Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 My bits are on Octavia, as well- and I'm quite thankful for it. Next to Vinyl, Spitfire, and Soarin', she's my favorite side-pony; not using the term background pony to describe any of them because most of my list has shown up in at least two episodes.

tacobob Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'd say Derpy..Since both Octavia and Lyra have official cannon names, while if you notice on Derpy's toys, she's usually nameless. I'm curious what they'll call her...Muffins? Bubbles? Bubble McMuffin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slazer Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I think she's been referred to as "Ditzy Doo" in-show, prior to "The Last Roundup" wherein she was actually called Derpy in-show for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamboltx Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I put my bet on Octavia. It'll be interesting how they officially introduce her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegalSteel Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Given recent events & facebook posts I actually think a certain "good man(stallion)" may be the one in question. The Doctor seems a timely choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkleheart Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Personally, I'm not too optimistic about the chances of Doctor Whooves or Derpy. The Doctor would be liable to get them in a ton of copyright trouble unless they had the blessing of the BBC, but that just feels way too out there. And Derpy? Considering what happened last time, it'd practically be *suicidal* for the show to bring her back as anything other than the usual background gag.I think that pretty much leaves Vinyl Scratch, Octavia, or Lyra. I don't think Bon-Bon has quite as big a following as the others, but she'd probably be involved in some way if it was Lyra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacobob Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 From what I've heard about the good Doctor is that they couldn't use 'Dr Whooves', but they were free to use 'Dr Hooves'...Besides, Derpy, the only one I can think of with naming issues is 'Bon Bon'. Sometimes she's BB, sometimes she's "Sweetie Drops". I prefer 'Bon Bon' since you can call her Bonnie, and she just looks like a Bonnie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacobob Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Ditzy Doo is never seen onscreen and never used in association with DerpyI believe they had originally intended to call her that, but the Derpy name just stuck. Until it became unstuck. Now she's just called "Unnamed Pony" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagwaver Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 BBC recently posted that they are allowing Hasbro access to their naming franchise. This could be a precursor for Doctor Whooves to be officially named.Perhaps they will also make mention as to why he was an Earth Pony in the opening episodes but then became a Pegasus Pony in the Young Flyer's Competition...

Kirby Krackle Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Rolling for the Doctor as well! But here's a question! His name isn't "Doctor Who". It's just "The Doctor". Which may not require too much legal dodging? Maybe other aspects of the show will be added, like the trademarked TARDIS for instance? I'm excited! And totally hoping for our favorite Time Lord!

xXDashieXx Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 To be honest, Ditsy-doo is actually Derpy's kid!! Weird right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrowghost Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'm looking forward to Vinyl Scratch, she is quite the girl I wish to hear her officially talk and have more screen time, she'll go well with Pinkie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'm with Taco. Watch it be Derpy, but the name they give her something like "Bubble Muffin".Lol, oh how the fans will rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrowghost Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Derpy is quite the love for everyone, even I love her when she appears in Gameloft and the SFM movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDashieXx Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Bubble Muffin is the BEST NAME EVER!!! And, of course its going to be Derpy. She is like the most lovable side character ever!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunio18 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 i really hope that its going to be derpy. i swear if they change her i will grind my teeth into dust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starswirlthebearded Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I really highly doubt they are going to touch Derpy again. Considering what happened the last time, she is probably going to remain as is. They named her, and then REMOVED the name from the episode and changed the voice. They know the fandom's name for her, and they know how attached the fandom is to her, they aren't going to risk ANOTHER large backlash.My money is either on Octavia or Doctor Whooves. The former is far more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
