Topic: Should it be Berry Pinch or Ruby Pinch?

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

Something that's been bugging me for while is about this character.

post #575847

Some images have her tagged as Berry Pinch, while other have her tagged as Ruby Pinch. Personally, I think only one tag should exist.

What do you guys think?

They're definitely the same character from what I understand. A lot of these characters have pseudo-official names where one of the toys with the color scheme/cutie mark end up getting named. In this case it looks like derpibooru is saying they're the same, and a quick google search for "Ruby Pinch" on google pulls up the wikia article for "Berry Pinch". So we should definitely alias one to the other.

I don't know which is more used (I've only heard Berry pinch myself) the sake of convenience I'd say to just go with what Derpibooru uses (Ruby Pinch) and call it a day.

They are both placeholder names, as she has no official name.
Berry Pinch came first, Ruby Pinch came after she got a cutie mark that looked like red gems.
Both are technically as valid or invalid as the other, but I would go with the one that's been used longer.

Berry Punch

Has a daughter named "Berry Pinch" also known as "Ruby Pinch"
See:

But because their names are so similar (Berry/Berry) The name Ruby is sometimes prefered in sentence structure to make sure no one gets confused. Writing these two characters together is often confusing for both the writer and reader. So in literature most will call her Ruby, or taking "pinch" from "Berry Pinch"

Either way, there is no set name for her. It should just be aliased.

Berry Pinch = Ruby Pinch
