Talk:Dr. Hooves/@comment-3251583-20120819005049/@comment-76.179.68.160-20120821051814

Part of the problem was with copyright, and the other part being that "Doctor Whooves" isn't suitably pony-like; it's too much of a pun on another intellectual property, and thus too meta to be used as a cononical name. But they are willing to use Dr. Hooves on some of the merchandise (like shirts) because that's what we want. They can't use Dr. Whooves, though, because it's too close to Dr. Who, which crosses uncomfortably into an area of debatable legality.
