I would think the best source is the original poll results page itself, which can be found here: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/02/poll-results-what-is-pony-djs-name.html (note that it was an anonymous comment that first gave the first name "Vinyl" much like Derpy Hooves - it was originally just Scratch). There aren't that many comments here, but they are in agreement with Seth's conclusion (plus I've personally never seen any objections to this, debates about it or which name to use). I figure this is probably the best source because it's where both names first started to become common use. I don't think there's anything from first-party sources saying "yes, Vın̈yl Scratch is her actual name and DJ Pon-3 is her stage name,"  but it might exist in a second-party source somewhere and it still works in most context.
