My headcanon says Ditzy is the Derpy lookalike who has purple hair |

I always thought Ditzy was just the one that looks like Derpy, only with a purple mane from winter wrap up.
Her sister maybe? |
| Anonymous #900788 5 months ago |
Derpy is just her nickname.
Just like Pinkie's real name is Pinkamena. |

Ditzy Doo is a different pony that was never actually shown. |

Winter Wrap Up. And Derpy is her real name. Deal with it! |

In all fairness, Dash *did* emphasize "DERPY!" the same way the bullies emphasized "Rainbow CRASH!".
Like it was in italics or something... |
| Kohdok #900808 5 months ago |
It was a rhetorical question. Since we now know this pony is officially "Derpy", what other pony terror could be lurking in Ponyville?! (Other than Pinkie, of course). |

Every time time you tag Derpy Hooves as Ditzy Doo I die a little inside. Us ethe tag to find out who Ditzy doo is. |

The name Ditzy Doo came before before Derpy's rise from the background pony lot. It referenced an offscreen pony who was out of town being silly (flying north to get the southern birds). Officially, Ditzy didn't have a body to call her own, though a purple haired Derpy clone appeared later with the birds. I still wonder why people jumped to the animation error who had been normal since (and DIDN'T leave town at that moment) being Ditzy and not the pony who brought the birds back.
I'm ok with the nickname explanation, but I don't see the relation between Derpy and Ditzy that one would be a nickname for the other. AJ to Applejack and Pinkie to Pinkamena make sense, but Derpy to Ditzy/Ditzy to Derpy? |

^The image is tagged Ditzy Doo even though the it is off Derpy. Even if the post is discussing naming the only pony in the image is Derpy. |

Ditzy;
Ditzy means basically acting really dumb and innocent. Not really knowing what is going on. Many people say it to like 'ditzy blonde' cuz blondes are ditzy. Silly and Scatterbrained. Slightly out of it, and don't know what is going on. Derpy; Awkward or embarrassing, especially pertaining to a person. To be inefficient, slow, unable, inexperienced, not working correctly, stupid, naive, etc. A word that usually takes the place of "retarded." Not "all there in the head"; possibly lacking intelligence or common sense. The wall-eyed background character in "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", Derpy Hooves, is named after this. |

Thats pretty clearly Derpy. |

That was seen in the same episode. Derpy was in Ponyville the whole time. |

I can see atleast 6 Lyras in this pic |

My headcannon had Ditzy Doo as her real name, while keeping Derpy as an affectionate fan nickname.
But if the creators of the show have decided to make Derpy official, I'm ok with this. Ditzy Doo is dead, long live Derpy. |
| superichigo #901169 5 months ago |
Call her "Derpy Hooves" all you want, but to me she'll always be Ditzy Doo. |

Ditzy is an established word with a definition meaning being stupid more or less. Derp is an unestablished word that still has a variety of meanings. A random exclamation in sentences, reference to the wall-eyed look, being ditzy, etc. |

IDK about you, but I'd say a different hair color is enough to distinguish the alledged Ditzy from the many Derpy clones. |
| ManeFlame #901459 5 months ago |
Yeah, pic up there is what I assume is now Ditzy.
However I did always love the name Ditzy Derpy Doo. Which they could then have an entire episode from her perspective. And call it 3-D vision. |
| Anonymous #902044 5 months ago |
The speculation of Ditzy Doo being the official name of Derpy Hooves comes from a comment by one of the people working on the show; if I remember correctly, it was in fact Lauren Faust. It was said that if Derpy was made a significant character, the name Ditzy Doo might be applied to her. This was way back during the first season.
For whatever reason, they appear to have just used "Derpy". I find that odd, because I doubt "derpy" will survive the rigors of time and become an established, concretely defined word, as opposed to "ditzy", which already is. Then again, Homer Simpson's "d'oh" was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2001. So who can say. |

It's her.
"Derpy Hooves" is a nickname invented by Rainbow Dash. |
| MysteryEzekude #902364 5 months ago |
That would be Dinky. |
| TheAntiCat #902744 5 months ago |
Anon044: Faust also said she wouldn't step all over people's Derpy love. So no, Derpy's real name is not Ditzy Doo. |
| fonypag #903003 5 months ago |
Maybe they're the same pony? "Derpy" could just be a nickname. |
| Nebbie #903066 5 months ago |
Ditzy Doo is the pony who went the wrong direction to get the birds, and was never shown.
Derpy Hooves is unrelated to her, but some people kept calling Ditzy because Ditzy is somewhat similar in meaning and Derpy had not been stated in canon yet. Combine this with a few idiots who think Derpy is insulting yet Ditzy is not, and you hav a group that latches onto Ditzy being better than Derpy so much that canon that gave them Ditzy can't even get them all to drop it. Then you've got your "Ditzy is 'established', Derpy is not." These people don't deserve your time, for they refuse to accept that language is created and changed by those that speak it, and instead defer to organizations which even themselves admit they only report on, and do not mandate, language. |
