Notes

"Surnames"

The story reveals 'surnames' or some equivalent of sorts for the various contestants as rendered on tw leaderboards and on sports garbs. The leader boards have been transcribed as the following:

D.Doo            21FT 2"
R.Dash           19FT 7"
P.Pie            18FT 5"
A.Apple          18FT 1"
L.Heartstrings   17FT 11"
M.Caramel        15FT 6"
F.Shy            DISQ.

Rainbow Dash: 1st 0 | 2nd 7 | 3rd 0 | .total       35
Pinkie Pie:   1st 1 | 2nd 0 | 3rd 6 |...total      22
Applejack A.: 1st 1 | 2nd 0 | 3rd 1 |.total        12
Twilight S.:  1st 1 | 2nd 0 | 3rd 1 |..total       12
Fluttershy:   1st 1 | 2nd 0 | 3rd 0 |...total      10
Ditzy Doo:    1st   | 2nd 0 | 3rd   |....total     10
Rarity:       1st 1 | 2nd 0 | 3rd 0 |.......total  10

Some interesting things can be gleamed from these tibits. Firstly, it would imply that Applejacks full name would be Applejack Apple. Secondly, despite being one word, Shy is Fluttershy's last name, which would imply that Zephyr Breeze's naame would be Zephyr Breeze Sky. These naming conventions also seem to confirm that Ditzy Doo and Dinky Doo are related. Lastly, oddly enough, Rarity has no last name rendered. While the typical fan name is Belle, this has not been confirmed.

M. Caramel

Strangely, a character named M. Caramel is seen on a scoreboard. Since the leaderboard was strictly for girls sports, the obvious answer that it would be for an unseen Equestria Girls version of Caramel seem to be dashed, however there is a very small chance it's referring to the (all but jossed) fan theory that Caramel is a MTF trans pony. The only other potential character this could be Toffee, however, this is extremely unlikely as Toffee is an incredibly minor, nameless, background extra. To add further strangeness to this, there are two characters in Equestria Girls that resemble Caramel greatly, that being Teddy and Sir Chance-a-lot, both of which however, are males.
