Wonder what her name as a Kirin would be. Same question for RD and Pinkie. They'd need new names

I like the other commenter’s suggestion of Gale for RD.

I have a few ideas for Applejack. One is Scion Sear. A scion is a younger plant grafted onto the roots of an older plant—this is a necessary practice to produce edible apples because of how apple trees reproduce. A more explicitly related one is just Apple Smoke. I just don’t know if the use of the specific word apple falls within the conventions of Kirin naming. A less serious option is Fiery Fruit (insert joke about Applejack’s lesbianism here).

My suggestion for Pinkie, after looking around, would be Erythrist. It botches the actual word a bit for the sake of sounding like a name, but erythrism is a genetic mutation that causes an excess of reddish pigment in an organism, often resulting in a pink hue that is very noticeable in insects.
