Hello again! I'll do my best here, and since she doesn't have a name, there's no real need for a rating system. Lucky you.

Name Suggestions: Mottlefur/Neritepelt/Ploverpelt (suffixes interchangeable to your liking)
Reasoning: It can be a little more difficult to find a name that fits a tri-colored cat, so I went with three different suggestions, for different reasons.
Mottle-, along with Patch-, is broad, and simply suggests a patched cat - the difference being that Mottle- cats generally (in my opinion) have smaller, tortoiseshell-like patches of color, where Patch- cats have bigger ones. These names are the go-tos if there isn't anything else that's fitting or that you like.
Nerites are a type of snail along the rivers throughout the UK, and their shells tend to have some patches of colors, like white, red, golden-brown, or black. This one I don't particularly favor, but she does have the white with vaguely tortoiseshell coloring going on, so it's your choice. (Extra bonus of living around bodies of water, where she'd be likely to find them).
Finally, Plover-. A plover is a small bird that usually lives along the coast, so it's unlikely that she would see them depending on how close she is to the sea. The color is described as "a white cat with grey-brown patches/a grey-brown cat with a fair amount of white on them, possibly also with black markings". She could, technically, be dull enough for this description, but I don't suggest this name.

And there you go! I hope that helped some.

I'm just curious, would a prefix of 'Gull-' be befitting a silver tabby cat? Or is it strictly used for gray/black/white-patched cats? I checked the "Ailuronymy" tumblr site and looked at the entry for 'gull', but I'm still not entirely sure.

I'm glad you asked me for conformation! Unfortunately, all names are fairly specific on the requirements for coat colors, so it couldn't be a completely silver cat. If the cat was white-and-grey patched, it would work just fine, but not for a solid colored one! I can help you find some other name, though, if you need it.

Thanks for confirming that! :3 I have been considering it to be used for a silver tabby but hadn't been entirely sure about its usage, so thanks again x3

I have a few other things to ask about a new apprentice character of mine, if you don't mind.

        Name: I had been thinking of naming this little tom Shellpaw. I'm debating heavily about his warrior prefix, which is why I came to you for help :'3

        Description: He's still a bit hazy, but I want him to be a very lithe tabby tomcat with a streamlined body. Perhaps some sort of pale ginger tabby or perhaps a gingerish-brown cat? I looked up the prefix Shell- also in the Ailuronymy blog, and it suggested light-colored pelts, so I assume this name will work for him?...

        Important Notes: I'm making him for a sea-based Clan. I haven't completely figured out his personality yet, but he is extraordinarily good at swimming, holding his breath underwater, as well as fishing for prey underwater. I was contemplating the name Shellstream for him, but for some reason -stream doesn't seem to completely fit a sea-based Clan that I'm setting him in, if that makes sense.

Thanks! :3

Happy to help! (That is, really, what this thread was for in the first place, though it's mostly focused on reviews, haha.)
Naming him with a different suffix than what's suggested can be tricky, especially since he's not near a stream, he's near an ocean. Sea cats are always a little tricky anyway. I poked around and came up with some suffixes that may work for him.

Suggested Names: -tide, -brine, -wave, -sea, -tow, or -pool (last suggested by a friend). Mark that -stream can work, presuming they have one (they do need fresh water and usually a little stream or pond will be nearby), but if that's not where they get their food, then there's no point in using it.
Reasoning: This will be a little long, do excuse me.
"Tide": Tide's definition is the rise and fall of the ocean waves according to our friend Wikipedia, which I believe could work. Tide, of course, is moreso about how far in and out the water's coming in, so it could mean someone with an apt understanding of how the water works and when the proper time to hunt is.
"Brine": Brine's a little shaky on definition, unfortunately, because it sounds super cool. Brine refers to a saturated solution (heavy mixture) of salt and water, not the ocean itself. Whatever image -bring brings to you would be completely subjective.
"Wave": A Clan that regularly swims in the ocean will have a lot of muscle that keeps them from getting sucked away and yet will not be obstructive. Waves are a force when they hit the shore, and aren't something to sneeze at. A cat with the -wave suffix would be particularly muscular, in resemblance to sea-lions and their gender differences (females are still tough, but don't fight for mates), and could fight against the waves coming in and get out to the ocean for hunting.
"Sea": This is as general as -stream, implying the whole of the water instead of one particular part of it. Rather basic, but if you like it, it would work just as well, if not better, than any of these suffixes.
"Tow": This comes from "undertow" and I don't highly suggest it, mostly because it's a variation of the rip current which had the false belief that it would tug swimmers underwater and drown them (unfortunate implications if ever there was one for a suffix), but it could mean a cat who can easily fight against the current and get home safely.
"Pool": And, finally, we have the tamest suffix - -pool. Tide-pools, as we all know, are what happens when the tide goes down and creates these little pools revealing the colorful wildlife that reside in the shallows, like seastars and urchin and those weird flower things that shrivel or spike you if you poke them. This could be a backhanded compliment, since the pool may not be where they get most of their food (depending on what they eat - research will be required here), and reveals its harbor without a single struggle on the part of the cat, so take that how you may.

And that's all I could really think of! I hope that this gives you some ideas. The cat themselves sounds fine, by the by, and I would suggest a pale brown tabby or grey-brown over ginger!

    hey greenleaf is that crestclan?

    Image/Description: Blue tortie spotted tabby harlequin x
    Name: Plovertail
    Gender: Female
    Clan: CrestClan, a rp Clan on here that I've just joined ^.^ they live by the sea and hunt from it and the tide pools, I believe.
    Rank: Warrior
    Personality/Skills: Resourceful and highly intelligent, inquisitive, rash, peppery, very stubborn; Plovertail has spectacular balance. She is well-known for being one of the best climbing the palm trees of the island, or rushing across the treacherous landscape of the tide pools or the cliff edges without even a slip of a paw. Her long tail helps with this, of course.
    Important Notes: She's a new character (I literally made her yesterday xD) so any way to expand on her is great <3
