Here's an idea. In the original episode her name WAS said, but never spelled/written out. Wouldn't it have been easier for Hasbro's PR dept. to just say to anyone who complained: "No no, her canon name is now DERBY Hooves/Doo, as in Kentucky Derby, you know like in the famous horse race?  We were thinking about naming her that other word you thought you heard, but some people found it offensive." and then not make any changes at all? Then if your ear wanted to hear DerPy it could still hear Derpy and you would be happy. And if your ear wanted to hear DerBy, a perfectly innocuous word naming races, especially horse ones, you would also be happy. Everyone gets a name they like and no money need be spent on any retcons!
