Hi everypony, still kind of new to the whole Brony thing, but I found this pony creator on DA and decided to make one with it so I could have an "original" persona to go by. Anyways, I'm really horrible at coming up with names for things and was wondering if I could get some suggestions from you guys. Here is a pic of him- His Cutie mark is a snowflake, and He is a Pegasus.

Here's the advice I give to anyone trying to find a name.

Don't rush it. Any name you force or are given by someone, even if it sounds good at the time, will eventually feel unnatural and forced. Eventually one day you'll have an epiphany and you will have the perfect and unique name you want. It took me about 5 days, and I love it. Once I figured out the first name the second one just came to me.

With my OC i named by going up with a simple name and then a weirdish last name
My OC character name is Louie McMoustache use it as a example if you like.

My suggestion: SnowCloud GelĂș ((GelĂș means frost in Latin :D))

Thanks guys, also, Jutsy... thanks for the advice, its just when I come up with a name, its always taken on a lot of things, I intend to use my OC name for my account names from now on, instead of piggybacking off of the Klonoa name xD

For your OC, I'd call him Blizzard.

Well his Cutie Mark is a Snowflake and a Pegusus. If I can get more detail about his talent, I may be able to help. But like Justy said, dont rush it. We're just here to help give some Ideas

I actually wouldn't recommend getting names from others. What I would recommend is taking his talent, and looking it up in a thesaurus. That is all.

The OC that's my avatar whom I call Lightning Arrow came about through extensive research into elvish names I really wanted to use her elvish name but came up with a good story that gives her a reason to have the simple name. Her real name is...Caelazair Tyrneaeplith literally Lightning Arrow Child of the Forest...so just be creative with it.

For my other OC Lavinia Cogsworth I created her as a steam mechanic so I looked up victorian names and Lavinia just seemed...well cool...the name Cogsworth was the first thing that popped into my head when I thought about her backstory and talent.

So research names and think long and hard it's very difficult to come up with good names but when you do you'll enjoy your character.
