    Minuette (colgate's canon name) would be a decent name. As for the more wacky names, you can still stick them in the middle name slot.
    Although, naming a child is not like a game's character creation. You have to choose something that actually works.

    EDIT: I was named after Billy Joel myself, so celebrity names are always a go.

    Naming a child after a cartoon character is inconsiderate, I'm afraid to say. Halfhand got the right idea when he considered that it would hinder the child's future.

    I have to disagree, as long as it doesn't sound too out of place, it's fine imo.

    Sounds like a pop star's name. No relation to Michael, of course.

    Used to happen, though. Rex just means king in Latin.

    I know two guys named Rex. Rex Allison and Rex Allen. The second one is google-able.

    Octavia.
    It works alot.
    May not be common but it is a good pony name for fitting with reality.
    Example using my last name: Octavia Stockley-Pollard.

    I probably won't ever have children, but I plan on getting a sheltie or border collie in the future and I will name her Cadance. My brother's sheltie is already named Luna. She was named almost 8 years ago. I also wanted a calico cat. I was thinking Cheerilee or Lyra, but I'm not too sure.
