@Background Pony #0D84 Still find it funny how practically nothing on FoE has been nulled by worldbuilding since then aside from where griffins live. Das good writin’ yo.

@Background Pony #0D84  
that would make sense, seeing as how Equestria is modeled after North America, and it points across the sea to the east to where Griffons are

I think griffon are European  
Gustav has a french accent and a Swedish name.  
Gilda name is Germanic and Italian.

@Niggoslav_Krawczyk  
You’re thinking of “Snow Flight”. mlp.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_ponies/Pegasus_ponies#Snow_Flight

@Background Pony #D145  
I always thought Snowflake was the name of that one Rainbow factory worker.

@Background Pony #D145
 
Yes, that’s specifically WHY people loved the name so much

@YetAnotherBrony
 
Snowflake has always been a stupid name. Always.

@Epicplatypus
 
And you know what? That’s just fine. People still draw Vinyl Scratch with red irises, because that’s what they want to do. People still call the muscular white pegasus “Snowflake” or “Roid Rage” instead of the canonical Bulk Biceps, because they like that name better.
 
Do what you like!

In the words of the almighty Nick Fury  
“I recognize the council has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid ass decision, I have elected to ignore it.”

You… completely missed my point. Not gonna dignify you with a proper response.

@Crowley But not more than the show, which is a good thing as they really really blow goat nuts. Also not more than good fanfic, since they’re really just bad fanfic ‘comickised’

@Background Pony #1CAC  
Oh yes, because giving them all G names doesn’t limit or anything.

@Background Pony #1CAC  
There’s a griffon in the official comics called Vermouth Roux. Gilda and Gustav’s G-names were coincidental.
 
_{And a pre-emptive “shut up” to the person who says the comics aren’t canon. They’re more canon than your damn opinions at least.}

LoL Gaston….I should’ve known.

I gotta say. It really bugs me that they two females didn’t end up with G names. This fandom has really started to bug me with it’s habits regarding characters names.

So, it’s Irma, Natalya, and Gaston, huh? Sounds good to me!

@Crowley  
If you want to upvote the names you like, you need to create a Reddit account, yes. It’s no harder than my “hard” decision to finally make an account on this website.
 
And if anyone wonders “Why bother? What’s the point of voting on Reddit if we voted here?”, the answer is that this is for the FiM wiki’s list of characters, for placeholder names. Many people use the “List of ponies” article to refer to the names of background ponies when writing fan fictions or doing other creative works where they need to know names. Having consistent, unified fandom names for unnamed characters helps to connect everything together and be less confusing for content consumers in the fandom.
 
So my suggestion would be to go to those three Reddit name polls (and maybe others, for ponies, while you’re at it) and upvote the names that won (1st or 2nd) in this poll so that everyone is happy. (And by “everyone”, I kind of mean the people who voted in this poll.)

@Dogman15  
Riight, do I need to sign up to comment?

@Crowley  
Feel free to suggest Viktoria here:

Now up for a second round of voting on /r/listofponies, on Reddit:
 
http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/comments/1vxihc/remember_those_three_new_griffons_from_rainbow/

It’s a shame Viktoria didn’t make it through.
 
Would’ve been nice to have a griffon named after my Vintage Brass Beast in TF2.

Gah, not my choice for the two females! Oh well, democracy wins… though if I was to ever write my own fanfictions (which I don’t), I’ll use Geneieve and Greta. Forever shall they remain in my heart.

Viktoria, Natalya, and Tavish McGroot are my vote, in that order. I don’t care if votign is over,t hose are my headcanon until proven otherwise by Hasbro.

Gale is a far better name. I’m going to call them Gaston, Gale, and Genevieve

@TropicalWings  
Only one of them, more likely.
