What's with the names sounding all the same? Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, why do they all sound the same? Is it the naming vs nurture debate? Debate it out in the comments. I believe that something big is going to happen in MLP, something having to do with the sky. What do you think?

Fate/Destiny seems to be a big thing in the MLP universe, so that probably has something to do with it.

They all have a strong connection with magic, in this universe magic is what causes the world to go round...literally. Alicorns raise the sun and the moon (and the stars) which in the past was the job of powerful unicorns. Thus it seems likely that powerful unicorns get names related to celestial objects, not only like the ones you mentioned but also Starswirl, Luna and Celestia.

Things in the sky or having to do with he sky seems a common theme for magical ponies in general.

Because that's just their names the creator gave them... Nothing else. Maybe it's just a coincidence or because their special talent is magic so it suit their names.

Honestly, I think they only sound the same in some cases because all three of those names have the same amount of syllables. They might have done that on purpose just to kind of subconsciously link Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, and Starlight Glimmer together. So far we already know now that Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle are both students under Celestia. It could also be the case that Starlight was also a student of Celestia like Twilight and Sunset once was. I doubt that Starlight was also a student of Celestia to be honest but regardless it's clear that all three of these characters have a strong grasp on magic. So in that sense they are similar.

I think it's just a coincidence. Although their names do seem to have some fate attached to them, like someponies names being a direct reference to their special talent. But i think that the fact that some of them sound alike when you put them one next to the other is just a coincidence.
