My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Characters/The Princesses: Difference between revisions

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Both "Cadance" and "Cadence" have been used multiple times by multiple sources. "Cadance" tends to be used in newer promotional media ([[The Hub]]'s [https://web.archive.org/web/20140112142439/http://www.hubworld.com/ homepage], back when it listed the name, used "Cadence" at first but later switched to "Cadance"), while "Cadence" is how it's spelled by the script of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E26 A Canterlot Wedding Part 2|"A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2"]] and how it tends to be spelled by the show's crew; [[Word of God|Jayson Thiessen]] [http://twitter.com/#!/goldenrusset/status/194445077274304512 has said] "I personally use 'Cadence' but it may be debatable." Based on the evidence, it seems that the official spelling was changed from "Cadence" to "Cadance" late in the game. Looking at the two spellings, it's hard to tell because "Cadence" as a proper word would fit the show's pattern of [[Meaningful Name|meaningful]] and/or [[Punny Name|punny]] names much better ''and'' be a more obvious derivative of "Cadenza" (which is basically just Italian for, yet again, "cadence"), yet on the other hoof "Cadance" apparently does exist as a proper if uncommon female first name in real life. The jury may still be out.
