Her title in Twilight Sparkle's volume in Friendship is Magic, part 1, "Mare in the Moon," is a play on the mythic story Human being in the Moon. The Elements of Harmony guidebook states that Luna's original name was Selena and shows development and concept fine art of the then-named "Princess Selena"/"Dark Mare"; these names are used in a Friendship is Magic storybook. According to Lauren Faust, Princess Luna'south name "was Selena for a short time, only there were legal problems with information technology,"[4] and Nightmare Moon was originally named "Discord,"[5] a name which would later be given to another eventually-reformed villain.
