I think Ponies who merely resembles previous gen ponies shouldn't have their names bolded. Case in point is where the unknown greenish pony is labled Medley. While the pony does indeed have the exact same colours as the gen 1 pony Medley, the cutie mark is entirely different. The proof of a pony's identity has altered their shape and forms over the generations (for example, Rainbow Dash was never even a pegasus in previous gens), and also colour, but the dominating feature of a pony's identity is the cutie mark. If the cutie mark is not the same, we cannot conclusively state that the ponies are in fact one and the same, and it would be far too presumptious of us to assume so.

TL;DR : Medley's name not official because cutie mark is not same hurr durr. Unbold plox.
