These are not rules, this are guildlines you can use when in doubt on how you
want to name your ponies. That is, these are only suggestioned based on observion
of current practice and discussions, it is probable that these suggestions are
not optimal in complex cases.
Try to follow the MPL Wikia on @url{http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_ponies},
if it is in conflict with an authorised game, such as Gameloft, it is more likly
that that game has make an error, especially ignore a game on palette mismatch,
and the Wikia is probabily more agreed with by fans.
Sometimes there are background ponies with the same palette and cutie mark, but
of different kinds (earth pony, unicorn, pegasus and so on). In these cases the
Wikia often list them as the same pony, they are given the same name. When this
happens you can name the pony that appears first in the show just the name and
append either `earth', `unicorn' or `pegasus' depending on the kind. If the pony
is a background alicorn, it is a princess and is titled as such, you can bet your
sweet flank the Wikia will have given her a royal name.
When there are many alternative names, but no official, use one you think is most
recognised or your personal favourite. It with short names when the names are similar.
