== Fan Nickname Origins ==
==== "Derpy Hooves" ====
[https://web.archive.org/web/20110902044242/http://www.derpyhooves.com/index.php Derpyhooves.com], a fan news site, has a great [https://web.archive.org/web/20130528203345/http://www.derpyhoovescentral.com/2011/10/origins-of-derpy-hooves.html article] on the origin and evolution of Derpy Hooves. Long story short, back when the pilot episode first aired and the fandom got started on [[Image Boards|/co/]], one poster named "Dr. Foreigner" pointed out the crosseyed pegasus and remarked "And so the legend of Derpy Hooves is born". And born it ''was''.
==== "Ditzy Doo" ====
In "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E11 Winter Wrap Up|Winter Wrap Up]]", [[All There in the Script|Rainbowshine]]/[[Fan Nickname|Rainbow Day]] tells Rainbow Dash that a pony named Ditzy Doo went "north to get the ''southern'' birds". Ditzy was never on-screen during this moment. While there's [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment|speculation]] on who the real Ditzy Doo is, [[Lauren Faust]] stated that they might use Derpy's design if they ever need to show Ditzy, and since then a lot of fans have adopted this as her "real" name. One [http://kreoss.deviantart.com/journal/37142876/ animator] says she was called "Ditzy", "Stoneface", and "Bubbles" in-studio before the brony phenomenon kicked off, though more recently the official storyboard sketches and "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E14 The Last Roundup|The Last Roundup]]" call her "Derpy".

== Vinyl Trivia ==
==== Red Eyes ====
One of the most prominent pieces of Vinyl Fanon is her eye color. Since her first [[One-Scene Wonder]] is only a few seconds long and the whole time she's wearing shades, we didn't really know what her eyes actually look like under those purple tinted shades until her second [[One-Scene Wonder]], which confirmed that they're the same color as [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/04/vinyl-scratch-flash-version-eye-colors.html they] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130917183349/http://www.derpyhoovesnews.com/dj-pon3s-palette-revealed/ are] [[Dummied Out]] in [[The Hub]]'s [[Web Games]] ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120411155120/http://royalwedding.hubworld.com/dj.html DJ Pinkie Pie]''. Red is the most common and is even in the picture on the main page. One fan drew her with red eyes and it just spread. It's possible to find the occasional odd piece, especially in older fanart, where she has blue eyes instead<ref>based on the color of her magic aura in her first [[One-Scene Wonder]]</ref> or even purple.
