Awhile back we reported about jetBlue's twitter folk being very pony friendly! An event leading to the creation of jetBlue's OC by hezaa as you see above. You'd think that would have been the end of it, but as things are with pony that turned out not to be the case. Now jetBlue's twitter employees are asking for help with naming their little mascot!
Suggestions will be collected and sent to the jetBlue twitter team and they'll choose their favorites. Once they have picked those we might hold a voting session on the best name! After all, it is a community effort.
Check out the unfolding saga of the jetBlue Twitter ponies and leave a suggestion on what to name this little filly after the break!
The saga of ponies and jetBlue continued after a post by Morgan Johnston, the Manager of Corporate Communication for jetBlue tweeted the message below.
Oh! Duh! Bathroom conundrum #2 solved.Besides this, the jetBlue Twitter feed continued to post various pony pictures by granting a request to the programming director of Midwestria. Now you might think that such posts on a big corporate Twitter like jetBlue may get them in trouble, but according to Mr. Johnston everything is cool after he briefed his team about the pony thing.#needacolorprinter#flyingbrohoof twitter.com/MHJohnston/sta…

In fact, one of the attendees at the meeting was upset that the OC pony designed for jetBlue didn't have a name yet!@foalpapers@tisstef Fun is one of our core values. No trouble at all (unless we cross a boundary and upset MLP:FIM people ;)

While Jet Blue would be a perfectly fine name, the name is apparently already taken/ to similar to an actual racing horse!@tisstef@foalpapers I was just confronted by an attendee, upset the JetBlue pony has no name. (but familiar with all current pony names)

So in an effort to come up with an original name for their OC pony they would like the community to help come up with suggestions!@foalpapers@tisstef There's already an equine claim to "Jet Blue Girl" though! bit.ly/PnkSdq

@foalpapers@tehbobbles@calpaineq@omgwtflols@beckiergb it's a community OC, (well...@hezaa created) it should be a community name too! :)

Lastly, to show you how pony friendly they are, Mr. Johnston apparently likes the message our community has despite not being a brony himself and he also apparently knows about EqD!
I wouldn't label myself a#brony but I think I dig their aesthetic: Fun & silly is okay &#LoveAndTolerance is better than online negativity
