Naming Background Ponies Thread!

She wasn’t tagged with her name until yesterday, yes. Maybe the alt text doesn’t change once posted.
 
In fact, it took me a while to find out her name myself.
 
But we can keep the name Full House for another pony with a cards cutie mark.
 
@Mildgyth  

 
This comment suggests Nadia (and names for the four already named Somnambulan mares).
 
It also suggests Sarkash for her:  
 
The comments under this picture also suggest Jamishat Bariq (means “Amethyst Gleam”, but that’s a name already) and Jamishat Alsamaa or Jamishat Assamaa (to name two of the possible spellings; means “Amethyst Sky” which may be a nice name suggestion itself).
 
Upon further research (not exactly easy if pictures are only half-tagged), I’ve found suggestions for the following Somnambulans in comments under pictures:  
 
Shawr Almaa (means “shower of water”), Banaa Almaa (means “fountain of water”)
 
 
Tut Jannah (means “berry of heaven”)
 
 
Alzamarad Albahja (no translation given)
 
 
Budhur Alradhiyah (means “Earth Seed”)
 
By the way, it’s always worth looking for name suggestions or name proposal in combination with unnamed pony. Maybe there are suggested names in comments, or someone has dropped a name into the tags directly.

@Pulse Wave
 
Since all of these names are Arabic, i’ll have to suggest some proper Egyptian names again - all direct translations:
 

I for one like them better, yeah.

Husani (handsome boy)
 
 
Djobe (mud brick, origin of the word adobe)

@Mildgyth  
Thanks!

Here’s some name suggestions for Dirk Thistleweed’s two bandmates, initially appearing in the “How to Backstage” EqG short:
 

 
Violet Wisteria
 
 

 
Dakota Verde

I should note that for #290, one of the choices is Waterspout. We do have a colt named Water Spout, named in this thread about a year and a half ago. Ideally we wouldn’t have two characters whose names are just spelling variations.

@someguy845  

 
Funny, I posted these gals a few months ago and suggested the names Pink Lemonade (the pink one) and Deep Throat (the green one). But some people didn’t agree on the last one. So I’ll change it to Bari Tanya, after the word Baritone.

Pinky Linky  

Any suggestions for her? She’s been in a couple episodes already.  

@Frustration in Excelsis  
Curly Top (after the film Shirley Temple was in).

@Frustration in Excelsis  

 
Ringlet, Ringletta

 
Any ideas for a name for the mare holding onto Cloudy Winds?
 
Rosy Star
 
Tin Orbit

@The Equestrian Zodiac  
“Rosy Star” is so cute. Both the character design and the name.
 
I also like the name Bubblegum Star for her (because the greens in her color scheme remind me of mint gum while the dash of pink reminds me of bubblegum).

@mjangelvortex  
Bubblegum Star also sounds like a nice name for her.

@The Equestrian Zodiac  

 
@mjangelvortex
 
 
Are we finally voting on a name for her? I propose “Starlet Radiance”. That’s how I’ve named her in my fic for last year’s Nightmare Night (just for reference, don’t read it, it turned out horrible).  
She was part of that play with Coco Pommel and she gives me a vibe that she’s very good at acting and that she will have a very bright future as actress ahead of her (or, more precisely, that future already happens for her, likely), hence “Starlet”.  
And “Radiance”, because she is so good at acting that she completely draws in the audience with the acting skills she radiates. Combine both and you’ll get “Starlet Radiance” as her name.

@Frustration in Excelsis  

 
Praline

@The Equestrian Zodiac  

 
@CMC Scootaloo  
Same for this guy.

 
Who’s who in the newest roster of Power Ponies?

@DR35  
Top alicorn: Wonder Mare, Gallop Goodness  
Middle alicorn: Captain Mare-acle, Space Trotter  
Bottom pegasus: Sagittiara, Princess Dinara
