Do bronies understand anything about how this works?

The name that matters is the one that's trademarked for the character, i.e. the one printed on first-party merchandise. That means Hot Topic doesn't matter, coloring books don't matter, Gameloft doesn't matter, the comics don't matter, and if the show and the merchandise conflict, the merchandise wins (as long as it is produced directly by Hasbro.)

The name that's on the first-party merchandise for this character, where present, is Muffins. That makes it her name until that is changed. The show can call her Scroodle McDoobermare and it won't make a difference.
