#totw well this is a childrens show is lauren faust really gonna put much thought into it it is kinda neat to think about though

Light

#totw That's silly everypony knows that late at night when the filly or buck has gone to sleep a magical space frog falls from the medicine cabinet and draws graffiti in permanent marker on the ponies butt to symbolize their name. its tradition. though i don't really get why ponies feel its their special talent :/ i mean whats fluttershys special talent "being a butterfly?" no they just flutter and are very shy. that's space toad has his work down to a science! :D

#totw Probably not, considering that for example, "Scootaloo", "Sweetie Belle" and "Applebloom" may not have anything to do with their cutie marks. For one Sweetie Belle will most likely have some kind of singing cutie mark. As for Scootaloo, her's would most be one of the few that's related to her name (she might have a scooter or a skate board with wings, or something related as her cutie mark). For Applebloom, her's is kind of up in the air since she really hasn't displayed any sort of definite personal talent.

#totw Don't know. Don't care.

Trav

#totw I think it depends on the characteristics of their child.

could you repeat that question

#totw It doesn't seem to be their name that determines their special skills, but their environment that determines their name- their environment growing up, of course, also influencing what their special talent will be.

scoot

#totw Yes, completely, it's like how Hasbro is promoting parents controlling their children's lifestyles, sickening.

Ryazaki Daikaiju

#totw not exactly it determines of what they may turn out to be but not exactly who they are or could be

RedEnchilada (notice the lack of a space)

#totw Not really. See: Rarity - special talent: finding gems. Pinkie Pie - special talent: parties. Fluttershy - special talent: animals. Cheerilee - special talent: teaching. I mean, there are some nice coincidences (Rainbow Dash - special talent: go fast and make rainbows) but there's enough counterexamples to the theory of the name affecting the cutie mark to render it moot.

Dan

#totw I mean, look at the Apple's. Big Macintosh has an Apple cutie mark, same with Applejack and Granny Smith. All named after apples *Exception to Applejack, but she has the word "Apple" in her name*. I think Applebloom should realize that she is going to get an apple cutie mark from her family

Pony

#totw We see that some ponies do change their name based on what they become known for in Apple Family Reunion. Namely Aunt Applesauce got her name by losing her dentures in some apple sauce . So maybe it's possible ponies change their name to match their cutie marks in some cases while in other (e.g. Pinkie Pie) they keep their old names.

Crusader 8

#totw "what shall we name her, honey?" "well let's see. Rainbow Mane... most likely a future fillyfooler. She'll probably become a tomboy to express her orientation, so Rainbow Dash it is!"

Lee

#totw Unless the name is too literal to be it's cutie mark. But in most cases, it's passive that parents give their foals the names on what their family is really good at. Generally like farm, weather, fashion, or any profession that catches their fancy. Unless your about to take a turn for your life and change your name, wait, do they even do that in equestria? Who knows.

Luna.

#totw Well, yes i mean, it's ike if "misery" form "Cave story" was a pony, I think she would be screwed.

Dashie Markers

#totw yes, yes i do now that i think about it. my kids name will be i-will-always-be-good-and-be-famous-and-share-the-money

monsutaa kaado!

#totw my father would have called me "F*** you, you're gonnago to the air force whether you like it or not"

Dashie Markers

Maybe the pony doctor just "knows" the ponies cutie marks based on the foals when there tiny. Or doctor hooves uses the sonic screwdriver to find out the future cutie marks. Or when the name is chosen, it decides the ponies fate. OOOOOOHHHHHHHHH! TIME TO WRITE SOME FAN FIC! #totw

that guy you hate

#totw Plus Apple jack lives on a apple farm so she was kinda destined for her cutie mark being related to apples

Gherkin ☑️

#totw I mean, Twilight's Mom's name was pretty predestined. Great chat-up line too. "Nice to meet you, I'm Twilight's Mom." "Who's Twilight?" "Why don't we find out... together?"

Gherkin ☑️

#totw I like to think it's all predestined. They choose their name because of the cutie mark they'll get in the future.

that guy you hate

#totw No, look at cheerilee, her name is generic

Pony

#nexttotw What topics would you like to discuss more on RDN? When a topic has stayed longer than 2 weeks, would it be more appealing to replace the #totw with this question to get new ideas or keep the old one?

Jessi Jacquet

#totw Hmm, this one is interesting, but if were me writing this story, I would have Trixie charge each of the mane six as follows: Twilight Sparkle would most likely be charged with possession of unknown chemicals with the intent on creating weapon of mass magical destruction with them. Applejack would be charged with the growing and harvesting of illicit crops. Rarity would be charged with mining rare earth minerals with out a license and a permit. Pinkie Pie would be charged indecent exposure. Rainbow Dash would be charged with speeding, reckless flying and several other flying traffic violations. Fluttershy would be charged with illegal animal possession and animal negligence.

doates

#totw Who says that she has to charge them anything. She's probably there to settle for a greement for anything other than prison time for her seige in Ponyville.

Justin Ryan Holloway
