Just sayin’. You can call any pony whatever you want (Purplesmart, Sunbutt, whatever), but that doesn’t make it her name.
The show, the comics, the books, McCarthy’s word, products straight from Hasbro. All DJ Pon3.
Licensed merchandise and fanfics and fans in general: Vinyl Scratch. And that’s fine. Headcanon away.

So what? Even if it isn’t canon, I’ll still call her Vinyl Scratch. D-J Pon3 sounds too unrealistic for a name. Even in this fictitious world.

Again, licensed merch. Hasbro didn’t make the cards, they just gave them a thumbs up for printing. Nothing put out by Hasbro themselves has the or the show uses the name Vinyl Scratch.

I haven’t heard that from anywhere. They’re released by Enterplay, the same company who makes the CCG and I think the staff might be fans or at least pay a lot of attention to what bronies like, but I don’t think that makes them any less or more official than they are as officialy licensed trading cards of the series.
I still pretty comfortable with the idea that Pon-3 is her DJ name, and “Vinyl Scratch” is her actual name. I don’t think I’ve seen any merch anything else with her that necessarily contradicts that idea.

It’s not a big deal, but I fail to see how pointless antagonizing is in any way a good thing.
Though obviously the chances this card was designed with that in mind are next to zero.

Well said.
You take some and you lose some.
Don’t care.

Actually, some fans did help with the original cards. However, Hasbro approved them.

Weren’t those cards also written by fans?
@Background Pony #365E
Yeah, looks like the idea that ‘Vinyl’ being her real name was in fact mentioned on the second trading card to come out for her:

I think Vinyl being her real name was confirmed on an official card.
That’s not a bad thing. Vinyl has beautiful eyes.
@Animegx43
Same here.
…and I love them for it.
Diane Jane Pon-3?
