hello, and welcome to the recently devised naming thread, run by myself, Steelsentry, before I can help name your OC, there are quite a few things that will help, but not all must be present

 

1. this one should be obvious, a description of the OC's appearance, race, and gender, or a visual aide
(I don't think anyone wants an earth pony stallion to be named Serenity Meadows)

 

2. their special talent/if they're still a blankflank, and whether you want the name to be related to the talent

 

3..what their personality is like, and/or their hobbies
 

4. their hometown, or where they spent most of their time growing up

 

5. their backstory, a current occupation, or what type of RP you'll be using them in primarily

(usually, not many peacetime-loving ponies name their newborn foals Mange, or Savage)

6: if you want a long, multi-part name, or a simple one, that's easy to remember, also if you only want a first name, or first and last name

(given examples, from my own repertoire of OCs, Stormcircuit Wildmane, and Jet Falchion, or Starchaser)

 

7. this thread is not just for pony OCs, Dragons, Griffons, zebras, and characters completely unrelated to MLP are also welcome here (including humans, and humanoids)
(note that if I'm unfamiliar with a show/setting's reference, I will still try to help you out, but my accuracy with selecting a name that fits will be lower than shows and literature I am familiar with)

 

with that said, I will be processing requests in the order they are received, and if I am, for some reason, unable to think of a suitable name, I will let you know within three days of my checking your post (timeframes may change, depending on the load of requests, and my times of availability)

Well, I'm bored and roaming the forums so, why not.

Well, it just so happens I have a character who I don't like the current name of, I mean, bolts makes her sound stupid in my mind.

Appearance(maybe... I might change it:pony71417.png

 

 

Her special talent is engineering, and her cutie mark is a gear, name related to talent

She is kind until provoked, intelligent but can be oblivious to ponies feelings, gets frustrated easily and has trouble determining the consequences of her actions. Not very good at making friends. Has a strange eye for architecture. She can harness magic, though not directly (like unicorns) but through careful and clever engineering. She uses her knowledge of magic to build intelligent golems.

She has a birth defect that prevents her from flying. She owns a forge and works as a blacksmith.

I want a long, multi-part name, but one that can be shortened to one that is easy to remember.

You seem to need alot of info just for naming an OC... Why?

to clarify, I don't need all of that information, it just helps with getting to know what they're like
Copperwind Bronzeanvil is the first idea to come to my mind, perhaps Copper as a nickname?
