    Hey I just recently found out about this website and I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand in finding a name for my new OC pony

    I am a draughtsman and I would like it to reflect that in some way.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the EP forums! Enjoy your stay and have fun! And remember to praise Rarity! I'd help with the name, but I'm at work and they filter out DA (probably for good reasons too...)

    My name's pretty un-inspired: Poetic Cloudstroller

    It sounds pretty cool though so I stuck with it ^_^ I recommend you should do the same, just go with a name you like.

    Feel free to contact me, and WELCOME TO EVERYPONY!

    Welcome to Everypony!

    Typically, pony names follow a certain...flow.
    (Noun Verb)
    (Verb Noun)
    (Noun Noun)

    Also, they tend to be three syllables. (If you want a "traditional" pony name)

    Mine's Quill Inkwell (note the three syllables), but my full name is Quilliam Bartholomew Inkwell the Third which is not only pretentious-sounding, but also quite the mouthful. LIke Poetic said, just go with a name you like. :smile:

    Welcome to Everypony!

    As for a name, how about "Vector?" Or something with he word vector in it.

    Ah good! The cavalcade of gifs and videos has arrived. Splendid.

    Hey-howdy-hey, I'm Tyro. A name I basically read in a book and thought "Yeah...that sounds good". It's stuck ever since. Means 'Novice' in Greek interestingly. Apparently, it's a woman in a Greek story of some kind. Seems a little more than a footnote.

    Actually, when I need a good name, I tend to switch languages. While we're in an increasingly multi-lingual world, particular phrases and words can still sound exotic and unusual. Google Translate lets us throw words in and it'll spit out a foreign equivalent within a nano second so what I like to do is take an aspect or related word for a character and toss it into Google with a particular language to see what comes up. I usually start with Finnish and move into other places like Italian, Greek and Spanish if I don't like what going Fin gives me.

    Maybe that could help? I managed to come up with names like Kyrios, Toivo and Mestari Tuli using that method.

    Welcome to this madness, good sir.

    I like your OC, and I do like to keep OC names simple. Alliteration is always good.

    Green Grass
    Field Flare
    Meadows

    They just popped into my head.

    Although, a cutie mark always helps the decision.

    Well, enjoy your stay! :smile:

    Hello! Welcome to Everypony! Enjoy your stay. Names? I suck at coming up with OC names. How about Olive? Leaf Green?
