Pony names in My Little Pony are usually two words that paint a picture. They mix sweet things, sky things and nature things, and they often hint at the pony's talent or cutie mark.

It is a fan tool for MLP OCs, fan art, fan fiction, role play and pony games. Pick mare or stallion style, press Generate, then match the name to a coat colour, a mane and a special talent.

How pony names are built
Most pony names join two pictures together. The first word is often a colour, a sweet food, a flower or something in the sky. The second word is often an action or a sparkle word, like dancer, dash, shine or sparkle. Put them together and you get a name that sounds like a cartoon character and tells you something about them.
Stallion names tend to use tougher words, like iron, thunder or granite, joined to hoof, forge or strike. Mare names lean on sweet and soft words, like honey, cotton or petal. These are just habits, so feel free to swap them for a mare called Thunderdash or a stallion called Petalglow.
Matching the name to the cutie mark
In the show, a cutie mark is a picture on a pony's flank that shows their special talent. A great OC name links straight to that mark, so fans can guess the talent from the name.
- Baker or cook: Honey, Sugar, Berry, Peach and Lemon names.
- Weather or flying: Cloud, Storm, Sky, Rain and Breeze names.
- Music: song, bell and chime words.
- Gardening: Rose, Lily, Clover, Maple and bloom names.
- Crafting or building: Iron, Copper, Brass, forge and gear names.
Names for unicorns, pegasi and earth ponies
Each pony type has its own flavour. Unicorns suit magic and sparkle words like gleam, shimmer and star. Pegasi suit air and speed words like wing, gale, dash and breeze. Earth ponies suit grounded words from farms and nature, like apple, oak, clover and timber. Picking words from the right group makes your pony feel at home in Equestria.

Tips for picking the right name
- Choose the cutie mark first, then pick name words that match it.
- Keep each word simple so younger fans can read the name easily.
- Use a colour word that matches your pony's coat or mane.
- Give your OC a short nickname from the first word, like Honey or Copper.
- Search the name before sharing art, so it does not match a main character from the show.
