IIRC, 'Midnight Sparkle' was the 'placeholder' name that the crew used during the production of Friendship Games but it wasn't canonised until Legend of Everfree. The names 'Midnight Sparkle' and 'Daydream Shimmer' may have been a reference to the parallels some have since drawn with Nightmare Moon and Princess Celestia.
