Is Sagebloom an okay name?

I say no, the other says yes.


    You're correct, if by 'okay' you mean traditional. Sage- works fine for a pale grey cat, but -bloom is not an acceptable traditional suffix.

Name: Dustclaw
Description: Pale brown tabby Tom with Amber eyes. He's a strong warrior, but is also quite goofy at times.
Skill/Personality Notes: His specialty is hunting. His fighting skills are good too, except he can sometimes be a coward. Despite this, he'd be in all the battles and give his life to his Clan. <3 (Which does happen ;-;)

Name: Willowstream
Description: Beautiful white and light grey tabby queen with emerald green eyes.
Skill/Personality Notes: Great sense of smell, and she usually leads hunting patrols. She had to retire from Warrior duties for a while, when she was expecting Dustclaw's kits, Rosekit and Swiftkit.

Name: Rosefur
Description: Pretty milky white she-cat, with barely visible stripes.
Skill/Personality Notes: After a long 7 moons of being an apprentice, she got her full medicine cat name by her mentor, Moontail. Sadly Moontail's death was not far off the corner, as she drowned saving Whitekit in the lake. Rosefur isn't near the end yet, so she remains alone in the medicine den. But she knows her family is never far off, Willowstream, Dustclaw and Swiftheart.

    Hello, Greystripe.

    Dustclaw - His prefix is perfect.
    If his speciality is hunting and his fighting skills are only decent, he should have the suffix -whisker, not -claw. If his fighting skills are close to what his hunting skills are, -fang would also fit.

    Willowstream - I suppose willow- could work for grey and white, but I think it depends on how much white is on her. If it's enough or almost enough for her to be consider bicolour, I'd look for another prefix.
    Since you didn't mention that she excels at swimming, I assume she doesn't, in which case you need to take another look at her suffix. -nose and -whisker would both work just fine, though -nose would probably be a bit more fitting, if she's got the tracking skills to usually lead hunting patrols.

    Rosefur - Rose- is for pale ginger cats, so it doesn't fit this molly. Take a gander at the White section of the prefix list and see if anything there suits you.
    Her suffix seems to be fine, since you didn't give me any major skill or personality notes.

Thank you. :) I'll have a think about the suffixes. Anyways, here's the last one:

Name: Swiftheart
Description: Big white she-cat with black patches - Green eyes.
Skill & Personality: Strong and fast but caring. She has a big heart - partly why she got her suffix, but the other reason is because her father - Dustclaw - died shortly after she was made an apprentice.

Thanks again for the advice, I'm thinking Willowfur/tail? c:

    You're very welcome! I'm glad I can help.

    Swiftheart - Her prefix doesn't really fit. Prefix is given for appearance, and the Common Swift is a dusky-brown bird, so that prefix doesn't describe your molly. I linked the prefix list in my last post - I'd suggest checking out the Patched section there.
    If she's fast, she should probably have the suffix -foot, not -heart. Skill suffixes take precedence over personality suffixes.

    I'm going to stick to what I said above about Willowstream - you should probably go for -nose or -whisker. -tail indicates excellent agility and climbing skills, and -fur is for cats who don't have particularly notable skills in any area, and she definitely has tracking and hunting skills.
