I've got this feeling that the Ponies use a naming form similar to that actually used by real-life horse-breeders. So, mares would have their dam's names as a surname and stallions their sire's name. So, for example, Twilight would be "Twilight Sparkle, daughter of Twilight Sprinkle". Rainbow Dash would be "Rainbow Dash, daughter of Firefly" (Lauren said that Firefly was supposed to be the name of Rainbow's mother) and Shining would be "Shining Armour, son of Nightlight".
