    Like what kind of names do you think regular changelings they would have, if any?
    is Chrysalis a normal name or might it be a special royalty name?

    I was thinking they would have bug related names like chrysalis is
    like Thorax would be a name
    or larva

    Can they even talk? I can't recall one speaking, I just assumed they were just drones for the queen.

    They could talk while being disguised. I see no reason why they wouldn't be able to talk in their natural state, too.
    As for names, I don't know. It really depends on how much individuality they have. Maybe only the more important changelings have/earn names.

    but that was because they changed. I assume that they some how picked it up when then change. I stick by my theory until confirmed that they speak.

    Maybe they communicate like other insects. With movement and scents. When dealing with that many in the swarm, speaking may just be considered inefficient.

    Considering they are insect pony things, if they had names, it'd be bug related (like Chrysalis, larva, Rebecca Black, etc.)

    Although they probably don't have names. It seems that the changeling army is just an army, rather than a group of individual beings.

    They have many names. They go by Trixie, Lyra, Berry Punch, Sparkler, Bon Bon, etc. Pay attention to the crowds.

    I bet it's a system similar to the Daleks in Doctor Who.

    They're insects, basically. I would think they'd have their own language. Something like, "Let's take over Canterlot" would be translated as "bzzkritchklxziglizackachnak". That's my headcanon, at least.

    as far as I remember only chrysalis talked and she could do that in her regular form anyway

    yeah that makes a lot of sense from what I seen in the episode

    I was thinking that too
    Thor-axe the impailer <--- best changeling

    awesome....

    I've always thought of them as individuals, and fully capable of intelligence and speech. I figured they were no different from the ponies, just with shape-shifting being their unique ability, like a unicorn's magic or a pegasus' flight. But then again, I'm kind of biased towards them. I love the changelings. They fascinate me.
