Hey I’m really curious, why is your pony kokichi’s name gingham crown? I think it’s a really interesting name and I’m curious to the reasonings

Gingham's just a pattern close enough to checkered for it to work without being too on the nose, and crown is well-.... king horse anypony?

i honestly didn't put too much thought into it, it just kinda happened, as is the source of most of my ideas
