So someone scrolled down the List of Ponies/Pegasus ponies page and proceeded to ignore the difference between an 'official' and 'fan placeholder' name, wrote all the names into a book and published it, and then people accept it as canon as if all of them were spoken explicitly in the show and trademarked by Hasbro.

What's really happening is that for most of them, Hasbro and the writers never gave them names (because no one is going to care about these obscure background ponies, right?), so what the fans call them sticks first. It's really just a publication of what the fans refer to these characters by, and shouldn't be considered show-canon, even if it's the best we have.

It's stuff like this that's the reason we're stuck on three official names for a certain hourglass-cutie-marked brown pony.

At least Soarin and Spitfire were the only ones bolded in color.
