..xX:: A Guide On Warrior Cats and Clans ::Xx..

[JadeiteWren]

I got a questian, I have some charactors that are all I use for my many RP, are their names real warrior names?

Grimheart (Grim)
Ravenheart
Calicoleaf
Windsurf
Briarlight
Hawkfear
Frostgaze
Ferretstrike
(c) ~Calico<3You~

I was just wondering, I have had them all for a while C:
~Calico

-Grimheart is a no. First of all the Grim Reaper is a human thing which cats do no not about. And as for the word 'grim' the word means "fierce in disposition or action" and "stern or forbidding in action or appearance." What mother would name there kit that? Unless this cat is in an evil clan I suggest not to use it.

-Ravenheart is fine.

-Calicoleaf makes little sense. In the books they call Calico cats Tortoiseshells and that's only in the allegiances (Sorry if I am wrong but I can't remember the Erins calling a cat a Calico). Calico means a spotted cat with mostly white while Tortoiseshell means a spotted cat but with little to no white. But naming a cat 'Calicokit' is like naming a 'Tabbykit'. So really it is not an appropriate name. Besides, it seems these terms are more used by humans, for I can't remember a cat saying the word Tabby, Calico, or Tortoiseshell, but feel free to correct me and make me wrong. This does feel like a name for a daylight warrior or for cats that refuse to give up there kittypet name.

-Unless Windsurf lives on the beach he will probably not be aware of the ocean. And surf is a human term, which cats are not aware of. Plus, I ussually advise against most duel element names. Of course there are a few exceptions to some duel elements names, but this is not one.

-Briarlight was a cat in the books I suggest to not use it for it's not a warrior name, despite the fact Erin Hunter uses it. Briar is a plant and light is well... light. This name falls under the duel element rule, plus briars can not emit or reflect light. Unless of course said briar is on fire, but the briar would still not be emitting a light. It would be the fire doing so.

-Fear is not a suitable suffix, even for an evil cat. So Hawkfear is a very silly warrior name.

-Frostgaze is fine but I really hate the sound of it. Though I believe not all warrior must flow (They are two words for pete's sake) I personally would use Frostygaze but I do that with all to most gaze names. However, Frostgaze is a perfectly fine name, as long as the Frost was referring to there pelt and not there eyes when they were a kit. Kits are born with there eyes closed so being named Frostkit after there eyes is unrealistic. If they were named Frostkit because of there pelt but later there eyes fit the Frost name too, that is fine.

-Ferretstrike is fine, as long as the cats live near ferrets. :V

Okay, thanx for summoning that up! I was just curious C: XD

[JadeiteWren]

You're welcome. :3

[indebted]

This is such a great guide. There was actually someone who named their cat Liliesofthebluepond, Smallpath, and BEAUTIFULSONG. Apparently that cat could sing really well. Cats don't sing. :X

[indebted]

Since I was wondering, are my warrior names suitable?
Sootpaw(Black cat)
Frostfur(White)
BerryWhisker(White cat, has a few dapples of reddish fur on her back)
Brownpelt(Brown)
Cliffpaw(Brown cat)
Thanks, I was just wondering if you could tell me.

Smallpath doesn't really bug me that much though I wouldn't use it. :V I have a cat who's name varies from Littlepath/Littletrail though it's ussually Littlepath. Her name is that because she was a runt when she was born and she's not open minded, thus not willing to think out of the box or get off the trail/path.

I will not rate the paw names since they're both apprentice names but both are perfectly fine prefixes.
Frostfur is fine.
And Berrywhisker is fine.
As for Brownpelt I ussually tell others to stay away from the prefixes of certain colors like Pink, Brown, Tan, Orange, and Purple. Though cats can have Brown, Orange, Tan, or Yellow fur it just sounds weird. However, all are fine prefixes, they just sound awkward. And I suggest never using Purple and Pink.

If your rating names can you do a few for me?
Bowstripe - Has dark stripe right along his back
Dragonflame
Skywing/Skyfeather
Pantherstrike
Ravenstrike - Was attacked by a raven and beat it
Spiritwing
Riversong
Kestrelflight
Blazestorm - Born during a fire, was made a warrior in a storm
Emberflame
Dusklight
Dustfur

[JadeiteWren]

Bowstripe - Cat's aren't aware of bows. They are twoleg objects.

Dragonflame - My friend on neopets used this name but not very acceptable. Cats do not know about Dragons, unless one is talking about Dragonflies. However, Dragonflykit sounds like 3 types of names, something I don't suggest.

Skywing/Skyfeather - Perfectly fine.

Pantherstrike - Perfectly fine

Ravenstrike - Perfectly fine

Spiritwing - Spirits are tied into a group of things clan cats are not aware of and if they are, hold them a bit high and are sacred. These things would be the moon, spirits, dreams, souls, sun, etc. Though Erin Hunter has used Moon, she herself said that they should not be used for prefixes. However, all the cats that have names like this are the current cats ancestors. My theory is that they were not sacred when these cats were named, and somehow were not sacred.

Riversong - Rivers can't sing. D: Though the two parts are fine, together they are not.

Kestrelflight - Perfectly fine

Blazestorm - Perfectly fine

Emberflame - Doesn't really go together. Embers are hot burning coals that sometimes make a fire. Flame is the gaseous visible part of a fire.

Dusklight- Perfectly Fine

Dustfur - Perfectly fine.

[Lil'Tiger]

How would Tadpole become a name in the books? Would they just have to name the kit Tadkit and hope for it to be Tadpole?

[Shimmerleaf]

Can I have some suggestions of suffixes for these apprentice names?

Berrypaw
Adderpaw
Hawkpaw
Echopaw

I'm thinking Berryfrost for Berrypaw.
