If you don't know about Roller Girls, each competitor comes up with a stage name and the are referred to as such instead of their normal names. Most of them are puns. However, one of the star players on one of the teams chose the name Scootaloo.

Pocket wrote:"Cocoa" has a meaning, but even that would be stretching it (a chocolate pommel? a chocolate-colored pommel?)... it just doesn't sound like a My Little Pony name; it sounds like they made a generic horse pun out of a real name just like they do with towns and cities. It's not like the writers are bad at coming up with them; "Fancy Pants", "Hoity Toity", and "Photo Finish" were all excellent, creative takes on the formula, and even season four gave us the delightfully G3-esque "Zipporwhill". But there's also been a trend towards human-style names like Mrs. Harshwhinny, Mrs. Peachbottom, and Suri Polomare, and it makes me wonder if people are forgetting what show they're working on.
