Rose doesn't like it when people call her Roseluck.
Unfortunately it's been ingrained in the heads of morons, so it looks like she'll have to punch out alot of people. |

Aww, but I like calling her that. |

I have to admit, I vastly prefer Rose to Roseluck. One sounds like the name of a pretty, relatively young woman (which Rose seems to be... she's definitely pretty), while Roseluck sounds more like an old lady. |

Rose could easily be a shortened form of Roseluck though, allowing the two to coexist without issue.
You know, sort of like how people call Twilight Sparkle "Twilight" or Pinkamena Diane Pie "Pinkie/Pinkie Pie" or Rainbow Dash "Dash", or Big Macintosh "Big Mac", or you know, any numbers of examples of nicknames or otherwise shortened forms of names in real life. There is nothing in the show to suggest this isn't true, there's something in the toys to suggest it is, along with the fact that canon pony names in general tend to be more complicated than "Rose" |

wtf is wrong with calling her roseluck damnit? |
| Anonymous #322722 1 year ago |
@Ponyholic
Those toys were just recolors. Hasbro doesn't get anything right, so why should we listen to them? Also, Rarity isn't that much more a complicated name than Rose. @Anon 322673 Because they called her Rose ON THE SHOW. Show canon comes 1st. >mfw people from Ponychan who haven't watched the show are the reason this is being argued. |
| Drasvin #322789 1 year ago |
@anon 722 I see nothing wrong with Rose being a nickname of Roseluck. And Hasbro are the ones that came up with most of the names of the mane cast in the first place. As for the recolors, that's done to get a large variety without having to pay for a lot of different molds. Fewer molds + more variety of product = more profit. And before you or someone else complains that they can't even get the molds right (as in the toys look nothing like the show), that's not Hasbro's fault. They're just making what the toy stores will buy more of. |
| Ponyholic #322855 1 year ago |
@322722:
Because it's their show, their toys, and so ultimately their decision? Because there's no reason for it to NOT be that way? You guys do know that Hasbro doesn't "get things wrong" to troll you, or because they're mentally challenged or something, right? Things have to be done a certain way to insure efficiency, profitability, appeal to the target audience, AND appeal to the retailers. Recolours from the same mold means they can do more for less. The alternative wouldn't be more, different toys, it would be fewer total toys. It's sort of ridiculous that everyone whines and complains that Hasbro never gives any of the background ponies a chance, and then when there's something that actually makes the connection, everyone whines and complains that they didn't do it exactly the way they wanted, so it must be a personal attack them them. Here's something else to consider. These toys are what makes the show exist. If there was no toy line, there would be no show, and we'd have nothing. If the toys don't do well, Hasbro isn't going to see that and think they have to do better, they're going to assume there's no interest, quit, and move on to something else. I'm not saying you have to love everything Hasbro produces, I'm not saying you have to like it, and I'm not saying you have to buy it. What I am saying is that the attitude of "fuck Hasbro and everything they do." isn't going to help anything, and it might just hurt something too. |

While we're at it, let's call Luna, 'Princess Selene'. I mean, they DID call her that didn't they? Why aren't people jumping on that? |
| Ponyholic #322894 1 year ago |
They've since reversed direction on that, so it would be sort of pointless to make a big deal about a thing that they don't even do anymore. It was probably a mistake based on an earlier draft of the script anyway, possibly even a change made after the offending materials had to be printed by. |

Rose > Roseluck
I still don't understand why people are primarily calling her Roseluck. |
| Anonymous #322974 1 year ago |
can i join in debate too?
assuming rose is short for roseluck is like assuming applejack is short for applejacqueline. |
| Ponyholic #322990 1 year ago |
There's no toy named Applejacqueline. |

Alright, see, that's a point that has more behind it than blind Hasbro rage.
I personally would argue that they are similar enough given other toy/show differences (Cheerilee's cutie mark for example) |

I came across the name Roseluck for the character first, so that's what has stuck in my mind.
Rose sounds pretty generic and frankly a little lazy. I prefer Roseluck simply because its a more interesting name. Now, as others have already pointed out, there is no reason the two names can't coexist. Just like the mane 6 have their own nicknames (AJ, Twi, Dashie, etc.) there is no reason Roseluck can't also be called Rose by her friends. |

FIRST OF ALL How did you hear Roseluck 1st? DON'T YOU WATCH THE SHOW? Show Canon > Toy Canon, deal with it. |
| Why485 #323182 1 year ago |
You'll have to excuse me for not remembering every single line referring to background ponies which do absolutely nothing on my first watch through.
I noticed every once in awhile when the character I really liked her design so I looked it up later on. More than likely I found out about it on one of wikis where it lists both names. At that point it was logical to assume what has been mentioned before about the nicknames. |
| Drasvin #323205 1 year ago |
@anon 089 Arguing is pointless, debating is not. (this difference is in civility and the level of thinking used) A good debate might be able to change a person's mind. Though this is the internet, where most people are as stubborn as AJ.
@anon 164 I heard of Roseluck first as well. And I have watched the show. Not all the episodes, but quite a few. I ran across the name Roseluck in the fandom. And I don't see what the point of separating components of the cannon that don't contradict each other. If they did contradict, then I would give deference to the show as well, since any cannon on the back of the toy boxes is designed to appease the toy stores, most of which obviously don't care about the show at all. But as pointed out above, the names don't necessarily contradict each other if we take Rose to be short for Roseluck. Though my earlier question still stands: who is that pony that Rose is talking to? She reminds me of Dinky. |
| Ponyholic #323214 1 year ago |
@323164:
Maybe they hadn't seen that episode before they saw the toy? Or missed the, what, one time it comes up? It's not like one name is an important detail. And again, there's nothing in show canon that says Rose isn't a shortened form. There is no conclusive evidence one way or the other. Why is this even an issue? Nobody is hurt from another person including, or not including the word luck in a character's name. I just want people to see that there are points of both sides, and that it's kind of a dick move to insult and lash out at people who disagree about it. |
| Anonymous #323251 1 year ago |
Hey Ponyholic. Play devil's advocate and explain why people should just call her Rose since that other guy is doing a terrible job at defending their point. |
| Anonymous #323253 1 year ago |
This wouldn't be an issue if people just called her by her name from the show instead of Hasbro BS. |
| Ponyholic #323328 1 year ago |
I can't think of a great argument for it, since , but I guess in the same sense as there's no proof it isn't a short form, there's no proof that it is.
There are plenty of ponies that look similarly, so it's certainly not impossible that two of them would also have similar names. We all know who we're talking about if we say one or the other though, so until there's something more conclusive, I don't see why both aren't perfectly valid names. |

As for the Ponyholic other question.... since it's a pony standing on two feeta nd with human clothes... i'll say Lyra Also @322974 lol applejacqueline, but Hey, we Have pinkamena, who is also a farmer pony, i don't see why Applejaqueline can't be true too |
