I found the part about the controversy. (From Derpy's article page.)

IDW comics editor Bobby Curnow stated on June 21, 2014 "Derpy isn't the official name, there is no official name"[18] and stated on December 5, 2014 "'Derpy' is not an official name".[19]

M.A. Larson tweeted on May 24, 2015 "I dunno, maybe Muffins is a nickname? Like Derpy 'Muffins' Hooves? Or something."[20]

Jim Miller in a June 13, 2015 Twitter conversation explained that the name was changed to Muffins for legal reasons.[21] "Clearance type things" that don't "fall under executive 'meddling'."[22]

In the script for Slice of Life, she was referred to as "Derpy" for the sake of labeling. Larson revealed Hasbro called her Muffins in the credits.[23]

In the script for No Second Prances, she was referred to as "Derpy".[24]
