Hey, there are some people who weren't too bothered by her being changed. and the show creator was originally going to call her Ditzy Doo.

How is her name being Ditzy any worse than Derpy? Derpy +Hooves conveys "clumsy". Ditzy conveys "stupid"

I would have preferred they play up the clumsy and aware of it angle rather than the clumsy and completely ignorant factor ("I just don't know what went wrong")I'll be the first to say that some of those lines looking back weren't great.

I would have had her appearance being more "..Oops...eheh...sorry. Hey can I hel-oh! Sorry" (basically like they did with Tonks in the Harry Potter books, but combined with a little bit of Luna Loovegood style quirkiness.)

I personally think Ditzy is more offensive.

If you don't mind me asking: why? English is my second language and I've only heard it as a synonym for "scattered-brained". I've used it about myself. Should I stop that?

[diet_poison]

I think this one really varies from person to person. I've always seen "ditz" used derisively towards girls who were perceived as being shallow, dumb, and airheaded. otoh, I didn't even hear/see the word "derp" until a few years ago and from what I saw of it I thought it was just a random word, sometimes used to describe something dumb that someone does (as in, the everyday mistakes we all make that can be seen as funny in hindsight, or a brain fart, or something)

I think peoples' experiences and perceptions with those two words vary a whole lot.

That makes sense. Thanks for explaining!

No problem! :)
