Name: Willowstream
Gender: She-cat
Clan: Riverclan
Rank: Medicine cat
Important Notes: She left Thunderclan for Riverclan because her birth mother was from Riverclan.


Name Rating: 9/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: I don't know for certain if she's a good swimmer or not (which -stream denotes), but Willow- is a perfect prefix for her. I assume that she proved herself a good swimmer, even for a half-RiverClan cat.
Alternative Name: If she's just an average swimmer, I'd say go with Willowfur or Willowpelt. However, if she does excel, then keep it as it is.

Character Rating: 8/10
Character Reasoning: I've seen a lot of half-Clan cats in my day, and most are done rather poorly - their lineage doesn't effect them, or it does to the point of cruelty, they always angst about it, etc. etc. and so forth. It's a bit of a cliche, but any person can pull off a half-Clanner with some skill and care. Examine your character's ways of dealing with that - does she flaunt her lineage because she has the strength of a ThunderClan cat and the prettiness of a RiverClan cat? Is she ashamed of it and barely leave the camp? Is she extremely defensive, and will she fight anyone who challenges her on that? Perhaps she sees it as a challenge herself - make herself well known for her skills and charisma, not for her blood. Think about it, and see what would be most interesting.

The pronouns got a little mixed up, so I'm going to go with tom.

Rate: 7/10
Type: Lyrical, with a little Canonical in there.
Reasoning: Storm- as a prefix is perfect for a darker grey cat. I'm assuming your cat is just a regular old shade of grey, though I could be wrong. The coat color is nearly just right. (As a side note, traditional cats don't get named after their eyes, stormy or not, because eye color changes as they grow.)
However, -whisper does not get a pass from me. The suffix -whisper doesn't really state a skill, or a (beneficial) personal trait. Sure, the cat may have a quiet voice, but if they're usually mute, shouldn't that reflect in their everyday actions, such as hunting? A silent cat that no prey or enemy would hear coming is very beneficial.
Alternative Name: Rainfur/Stonefur. The first is for if your cat is a dappled cat, like so, and the second is if he is just plain grey.

Sablestar
Rate: 6/10
Type: Creative/Perhaps Canonical
Reasoning: This took a little research because I have not seen this name before. I eventually found a weasel called the sable, which, like your cat, has a dark brown pelt and a narrow muzzle (though perhaps not the legs).
But, upon further searching, I found that sable is also a color description - for a black animal, such as a cat. This kicked down your rating a little, because a) sables do not naturally appear in ShadowClan territory, and b) your cat is not black. Had she lived in Russia or somewhere nearby, I would have found it completely acceptable.
To be honest, I'm a little disheartened to give you such a low rating, because otherwise the name would have been perfect, and rather interesting.
Alternative Name: Spiderstar. Spider- is acceptable for a dark brown cat, especially if they have long legs.

Alternative Suggestion: I really do like the name Sablestar for its correctness in another place, so my preferred alternative is for you to move her to a different Clan, in a different part of the world - specifically, Russia, Mongolia, or Japan, where sables show up. I suggest this over a name change.


Adderstripe
Rate: 10/10
Type: Traditional
Reasoning: This name is perfect for him - he's a brown tabby, and he's named for his fur. If he has no notable skills (like fighting or swimming), then this name is excellent.
Alternative Name: None!

Fallowshine
Rate: 8/10
Type: Canonical
Reasoning: Fallow- is usually reserved for a light brown tabby, but if your cat is light enough, I think she could easily pass. I have next to no problems with the prefix.
-Shine needs to be talked about, though.
I see -shine a lot, and I never quite understand what it's supposed to mean. Is it a cat with a shining personality? Is their fur always nicely groomed, so they look lovely (which -face covers). It's a suffix that's rather frustrating, to be honest.
Alternative Name: Fallowfur/Fallowface. The first is just assuming that -shine has nothing to do with her appearance, just her personality. The second is assuming that -shine refers to her lovely looks, which means she's a pretty cat.

Name: FleetStrike
Description: White tom with light brown and silver highlights. Green-Blue eyes.
Important notes: Not really any but I kinda like this one.

Name: LionWing
Description: Yellow cat with orange highlights and black tipped ears. orange red paws and green eyes.
Important notes: i kinda based this off lionblaze except different.

Name: AppleSneeze
Description: red-brown cat with brown eyes and dark brown pads.
Important notes: This one is kind of a joke, I just came up with this and kind of liked it >_<


Oh no! I didn't see this one, I'm so sorry! Let me just review these right quick, then.

Fleetstrike
Rate: 4/10
Type: Lyrical/Canonical
Reasoning: Fleet- doesn't describe much about a cat at birth. Prefixes are given to a kit, describing their appearance. A small kitten can't really be fleet. Meanwhile, we have -strike, which seems to denote a very powerful fighter...which is already covered by a traditional suffix.
Alternative Name: Frostclaw. Frost- is for white cats who may also have some faint markings, and -claw covers a good fighter, which I assume was what -strike wanted to convey.

Lionwing
Rate: 6/10
Type: Canonical
Reasoning: Lion- works just fine for a yellow/golden cat, so there's not much to say on that. -Wing, though...
I'll come right out and say -wing is one of the most frustrating suffixes I've ever heard in my life. For one, cats cannot have wings. For two, wings come in many, many, many shapes, colors, and sizes, and thus would be as useless for a descriptor as -cat. For three, if -wing is supposed to convey a skill, those are covered - if the cat's a fantastic climber, they're a -tail. If they're speedy on the ground, they're a -foot.
Alternative Name: Liontail. I'm going to assume he's a good climber, and it would be a good deviation from Lionblaze.

Applesneeze
Rate: 3/10
Type: Canonical
Reasoning: Apple- is a traditional prefix, but it's for a golden cat, as wild apples that the cats would see would be a golden color. So, it wouldn't really fit on your cat. As for -sneeze, well... it's not much of a compliment to the cat. This would imply the cat has a constant cold, which is never good, or that they're just a sneezy cat, which is also never good. It sounds cute, sure, but does it really help your cat to be known for constantly being sick and disruptive?
Alternative Name: Cherrynose. Cherry- is also a fruit name, and it's accurate. -nose is usually reserved for a cat who's a fantastic tracker, but I picked it for two reasons. a) because it's a little related to -sneeze, but more complimentary, and b) because I'm sure that you can turn this name around and give it a positive spin.
