I named another background pony! Here’s a gif for the occasion and as another signal boost.

I had to give this happy, orange-maned filly who has an addiction for carrot <del>dogs</del> dawgs a name, because she is starring in a fanfic I’m currently writing.

And, wow, it was a challenge to name her! There isn’t a lot we see of her in the show; she has only three appearances in the entire show and all these appearances tell us is that she likes carrot dogs, cake and (birthday) parties, that she lives (lived?) in Manehattan and, due to her last two appearances having been in Ponyville, that she either moved there with her parents, sometimes makes vacation there or has relatives to visit (Apple Family?) there.

Very little information about her and only things that are probably the case for a lot of fillies, so I had almost nothing to base her name on. I was going to name her “Carrot Bun”, then saw that this name is already taken.

So, I ended up with “Fast Bun” as her name, a combination of fast food and the buns that are used for carrot dogs, referencing that her special talent might be the preparation of fast food or something related to it.

Sounds a little awkward, but the name grew on me. And considering the circumstances, I think I found a good name for her.
