@Ember. Give me back Hickory.

Cloudfall - 1111
Wrenblaze - 1111
Hickorytooth - 11
Daisyfur - 1
Fennelwatcher - 1
Lightningfang - 111
Minnownose - 1111

[Ember!]

I like Minnownose and Hickorytooth.
-quietly stashes hickory away for future naming-

[tauriel.]

@dino
Ohh okay makes more sense.

@Dino: I like the names Lightningfang and Minnownose.
@littering: Maybe the first litter of a young queen is small (2-3 kits), the second and third are the largest (4-6 kits) and every litter after that is in between (2-6 kits) but each successive litter has a slightly higher chance of complications (5%, 10%, 15%, etc.) and it would be randomized between stillborn kits, runts, and the queen (and possibly her kits) dying.

Something similar to this great idea!

[whatswrongwithangela]

@littering, the maximum kits a queen may have in one litter is four so maybe the first
litter would be 1-3 kits and the second could be 2-4? and then it'd be a pattern.

[Katrione]

@justice

PM me about a prophecy


@tauriel + sol

After The first litter, should I start randomizing the chance of the birth? Like everything is fine, a kit dies, the whole litter dies, and mother and litter dies?


@hazil

I think that would depend on the mod. Like with Purrfect replying to my clan, squirrel was fine with her first litter, then in her second litter one of her kits died and she lost a life, then in her second litter she lost a life.

I think as they get older the chances of fatality should go up just to force the owners of the clans to make new mates and to make it so that all the kits aren't being born from just one she-cat


@simon

XD saw this after I made a similar statement in this post earlier. I think that would be a good idea, I didn't even think about making runts an option


@dino

Minnownose and Hickorytooth


@enchanted

The max is actually 6. That doesn't happen that often though

[Dinolil1]

@Ember. Give me back Hickory.

Cloudfall - 1111
Wrenblaze - 1111
Hickorytooth - 111
Daisyfur - 1
Fennelwatcher - 1
Lightningfang - 111
Minnownose - 11111

I'm going to stop voting, this is going to take forever.
I'm going with Cloudfall and Minnownose.

@dinolil
Speaking from a practical standpoint as a critique of all names, because what did we expect from the person who tried to make the clan geography into a single thing.
They're in green if I think they're good overall, and bearing in mind my critiques. Blue is if I feel like there's a very minor tweak that would get to that level too~
- Sandstrike

I really love the sound of this, just, so much. I have a kind of in-my-head fairly strict this-is-how-you-apply names thing, and I like how this gives a quick impression of a good hunter, and probably a cat who's good at surprise attacks in fights.

- Fennelwatcher

Isn't "watcher" kind of covered by "eye"? I kind of prefer Fenneleye to get the same idea there. Fennel probably isn't too common for the clan cats though. I do like it, though.(But I would like Fenneleye more XD)

- Kestrelwing

Kestrel is a very cool name beginning, I like it! I've never really been sure what "wing" is meant to mean though. Like, they're soft on their feet? idk. I digress, I quite like it overall, just maybe Kestreltail or Kestrelstep if the idea's being soft-footed... Kestrelstep does it quite well, because then xe'd step like a Kestrel, aka, no one is aware of xem stepping, aka xe's very stealthy

- Daisyfur

It's pretty! Aww. Instant image of knowing if they were a kitty-pet I would make a constant fuss of them. That's not a bad thing, you need caring warriors, and a med cat, and stuff. I really like this one.

- Shadefur

I also like this one. It's like a less extremely adorable Daisyfur. Shade is one of the names you can instantly picture the cat for, just like this lovely dark grey cat. Really nice.

- Snipewhisker

Probably worth being aware that Snipe's are North-America only (Now referred to as NAmerica). I don't know if CaC is Europe or NAmerica based, as series one of warrior cats is quite clearly based on England while later series seem to be based in NAmerica. I do like the use of the snipe though! I'm thinking from the name they're a good fisher, as Snipe's are wading birds and whisker to me indicates a cat good at picking out things other cats aren't, or who's good at hunting. Water + Hunting -> Fishing cat! Clearly a useful warrior.

- Beechheart

This is very typical clancat A++ for accuracy. I like that. I also like the name

- Lilypuddle

I'm assuming from "Lily" that they'd be a white or ginger cat, which is good. But puddle I'm not sure about. I feel like the suffixes should reflect their skills or personality traits wherever sensibly possible, unless they're average (and there's nothing wrong with being average) and get fur, pelt or stripe. I'm not sure what puddle would represent. That they're a bit wet? That they're a nasty thing to get on another cat's fur? That they just sort of lie there and don't do anything? It depends on whether you're sticking to a similar naming rule or not as to whether it works, but in mine, it doesn't. I do like Lily though, and I have to admit, that, ignoring the rules entirely, it sounds really good and very flowing.

- Russetheart

I really like the sound of this one, and it seems natural for a clan cat.

- Wrenblaze

I like the image of this really tough gutsy cat you get from this one. I think blaze has to represent a sort of joie de vivre (I think that's the term I mean) and/or a generally spirited attitude, and I like just the mere implication of it from the name.

- Jaypelt

Jay can have different connotations based on setting too- could be a grey cat if it's the NAmerican blue-jay or a brown cat if it's a European jay, but either way, it's a nice name for them. Pelt is also good. Mediocrity is not to be celebrated, but it's also not to be lambasted. Normal can be good, especially when it makes a good name, and Jaypelt is a good name.

- Sagemouse

I feel like you probably wouldn't find a warrior called this. The names have to be given complimentary meanings, I think, otherwise it's just a tad cruel, and I just don't think they'd do that. Mouse is unlikely to indicate any useful skills to the clan, and the personality I think a predator would get from a mouse is not very positive. Cowardly, sneaky, shy, harmless. A more positive connotation of the same idea would be Sagecloud, I think. I do like Sage as a prefix.

- Minnownose

I like the prefix and suffix individually but together they're a big no-no, at least phonetically. Very bad puns aside, I feel like it sounds a little clunky, and that doesn't pair with my image of a minnow at all. Minnow would pair better for the same meaning with whisker, or possible eye or ear.

- Brackenwing

Again, I'm not really sure what wing could mean that can't be expressed with something else. If it's having a lofty personality, that seems like cloud, if it's that they hardly seem to touch the ground, that seems like a tail. I like the sound of it, but the wing suffix doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

- Hickorytooth

I have to admit, I really like the naming-a-specific plant names, especially for trees. I honestly hadn't realised before that that's what Hickory-Dickory Dock is reffering to; Dock leaves and Hickory trees. Not sure if that's intentional. Anyway, I like the clear image of a cat pelt colour that Hickory gives. Tooth is also good; it's like a variant of fang in any clan where fang is becoming too common, at least, that's how I see it. Good hunter, good fighter. A tooth will always (or should always, at least), be deeply appreciated by their clan. Good name.

- Heatherscar

It's worth bearing in mind that Heather is a moorland or human-cultivated plant. Moorland is generally, ridiculously rare on a global level, and outside Scotland, there's very few places where you'd find wading birds and heather together (which rules out pairing Heatherscar with Snipewhisker). Also, that scar would have had to have come during their apprenticeship, as if they were a warrior when it happened, they'd have had a name change and their whole name would reflect the injury. The scar could be a prized thing- mostly in personality- of saying "this apprentice was brave enough to enter battle before they'd been fully trained!" It would be a very rare and very prized personality-suffix, I think. That said, I like this name a lot. Heather gives an aura of peace and gentleness but the scar suffix shows that they've been through enough fights to keep the signs of it. Multi-layered, just from a name!

- Lightningfang

I like the meaning of this one, only one concern; sound wise having ___ng__ng might not be great. It slows down the pronunciation quite a lot, and might make it hard to write tense scenes or whatever with them. White or grey cat who's good at hunting and/or fighting. Always good if you can get a clear idea of the cat from the name, and it is a good meaning.

- Cloudfall

I like cloud, not so sure about fall. Isn't Cloudfall basically just rain in total? To me, fall sounds like it might be a little bit of a discrete insult as well, as if the cat's quite clumsy and not a very good climber- they keep falling off things! Maybe Cloudheart or Cloudstorm for personality names, as I think that's what's being gone for.

Also, do you know that thing where you're typing something and you suddenly become aware that you're not hearing the normal voice that makes your thoughts but someone else? Because Matt Smith voice in my head analysing cat names is getting just a tad annoying.


@Katrione
Maybe the aging then kitting getting more complex thing but only after a certain age, like after 40 or 50 moons or something. So that it gets simpler before that and more complex after, and after, idk, 60 moons, it's a lottery, essentially.

[tauriel.]

@kat + sol

Yes. Maybe vary the chances of something happening: 70% everyone is fine, 20% a kits dies, 10% everyone dies or something similar.

[Simonpet]

@Kat: Maybe runts could have a slightly higher chance of catching sickness and disease and once they're adults, it could be rolled for them to always be smaller than normal (and have a higher chance of catching sickness, disease, and being hurt) or to be of normal size in which case the risks of them being sick or hurt drop to normal.
@Chamrosh: Forestclan is very similar to my Cherryclan and Frostclan of Lake Tahoe, so the borders might have to be updated to cross the Atlantic ocean. Also, are you a traditionalist/semi-traditionalist (prefix = coat color, suffix = notable skill/personality/physical trait)?

[whatswrongwithangela]

@tauriel, i think that would be too often a kit dies? maybe 10% a kit dies and 5% the whole litter + mother goes?
