This should be considered pure speculation:

So it's been my observation that the power of the protagonists in the show directly correlates to the number of syllables in their names. Most ponies have 3 syllables (Ra-ri-ty, Ap-ple-Jack, Rain-bow-Dash, Chee-ri-lee, Flutt-er-shy, Ap-ple-Bloom, Swee-ta-lee, Skoo-ta-loo, etc.) More powerful characters have 4 syllables (Twi-light-Spar-kle, Big-Mac-in-tosh, Phi-lo-me-na, Prin-cess-Lu-na). Princess Celestia has 6 syllables when you include her title, 4 when you don't. Spike, with just one syllable, is fairly powerless.

There are exceptions, like Trixie, Nightmare Moon and Gilda, but all of them are antagonists, so protagonist rules need not apply.

But given all of that, and that she is a protagonist, what does it mean when we see 7 syllables in Pin-ke-me-na-Di-ane-Pie?
