When the show first started the background ponies were not named, and some comments by actual people who work on the show imply they didn't even know if they would ever name them (presumably because the show was created first this time) so we came up with names for them; Bon Bon, as she was called then, was named in honor of a G1 pony.

Eventually Hasbro decided to name the ponies, due to the fact they'd be selling them (I guess) and gave them their own names, but as some of us were used to the fan names, we keep using them (I will admit to using Bon Bom, but is mostly due to my G1 love).
