Warrior Cat Names and Characters Reviewer [CLOSED]

[Arcaii]

Image/Description:
An extremely small brown tabby she cat, she has white front paws, a white belly and a white chest. She also has amber eyes.
Name:
Kestrelpaw currently.
I'm thinking Kestrelwing, possibly as a name
Gender:
She cat
Clan:
Wildclan
Rank:
Medicine cat
Personality/Skills:
Kestrelpaw is considered odd, even by her unusual clan standards. She is extremely small for her age and always has been. She also doesn't talk, many cats who have known her for moons haven't heard her speak. When she does say something it is worth listening as it is usually important or insightful. She feels idle conversation is a waste of time, and never speaks unless needed. It was always clear which role she would take, she was always in the medicine den when she could be.
Important Notes:
Some cats consider her mute, so they are often a little shocked when she speaks.
I would be very grateful for name help.

I'll see what I can do.

Name Rating: 7/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: Kestrel- is good for a dappled brown tabby, a darker tortoiseshell, or something within those regions. I'm not sure if she's a dappled tabby or just a regular tabby, so I'll suggest an alternate prefix, just in case.
Y'all know my beef with -wing; it's covered on the Common Names post. Basically, cats don't have wings so it doesn't apply to them, and even if it was metaphorical, -tail and -foot could easily cover whatever it wants to cover.
Alternative Name: Wrenfur/Wrenpelt. Wren- is a double bonus; it covers both a brown tabby and a small one, which fits her perfectly. Since she doesn't have any suffix-worthy traits, she just has -fur or -pelt.

Character Rating: 10/10
Character Reasoning: There's not much to critique! Her traits are just fine, and cats can be as quiet as they like (we've all met one cat at least that barely spoke).

What if I added that she could get really fired up sometimes, especially when kits don't eat her herbs? And I was rushing, cuz i was in a hurry, so could i change the form to a bit more detailed?

That sounds fair to me. If you want to resend it, by all means, go ahead.

Can't wait for the other ones. Though my reviews will sound rather...harsh (I apologize) I am grateful for you sending in some names I haven't gotten to completely cover before. Surprisingly, you'd be the first -path I've gotten, despite it being common place.


Silentsound
Name Rating: 2/10
Name Type: Lyrical
Name Reasoning: Aside from the prefix and suffix completely contradicting each other, neither are accepted as traditional. Even if she was named for her quietness - which, spoiler, doesn't even matter unless it's useful - she's got fur that she could be easily named for and identified by. Any number of images pop up when you say "Silent-". The cat could be black or calico or golden or brown, big or small. Picture, for a moment, that you're a cat who knows nothing about Silentsound. You couldn't exactly pick them out of a line of cats, could you?
The reason we pick names in traditionalism is for practicality. Silent- may explain that she likes to be quiet, but unless it's useful (like for hunting), then there's no point in having it. Besides, describing a skill is for the suffix, not the prefix.
I think that covers -sound, as well.
Alternative Name: Greyfur/Breamfur. Both describe a grey cat, and since she doesn't have any outstanding skills, she's stuck with -fur or -pelt (or -face, if she's rather attractive).

Character Rating: 3/10
Character Reasoning: Okay, well, here we go. I was waiting for a canon-decedent and I didn't even know it.
Here's the thing: not only is she related to a canon character (that's not even a warrior and had no signs of caring for anyone), but it's one of the largest and most popular villains of the entire series. One of the biggest no-nos in all of character creation is to not have your fan character be a daughter/son/grand-kid/sibling of a canon character, mostly because it's out of left-field, it's pointless, and it's pretty annoying. Your character doesn't need to do that to be interesting - not special, interesting.
This is something that a lot of youngsters around here and DeviantArt aren't aware of. Being "special" isn't notable in and of itself. What's interesting is the character themselves. Who cares if someone's related to Squirrelflight? What does he do to make us actually like and root for him?
Besides that, your cat's traits could be fine, but they're a tad repetitive. A shy, quiet cat who's a whiz isn't necessarily bad. But when you narrow it all down, that's all that she's got. Add some more traits that don't need 6 adjectives to get the point across, but make sure they all coincide and don't contradict.


Fallensky
Name Rating: 2/10
Name Type: Lyrical
Name Reasoning: I need to add Fallen- to the roster of common names, but I think it goes under -fall:

-fall: This suffix has no use whatsoever. If it's supposed to mean a clumsy cat, that's unnecessary and mean. If it somehow means graceful, I'm probably going to throw you out a window.

And -sky is also nill. It doesn't describe any aspect of the cat, whatsoever. It's probably about as relevant as -wing: a living cat has no place in the sky, and the only time it's actually important is to tell time or see how StarClan is taking the gathering.
Alternative Name: Cinderpelt./Smokepelt. Cinder- and Smoke- are for grey tabbies, and like above, she's got no skills that need naming that I see.

Character Rating: 6/10
Character Reasoning: Her traits are a little all over the place. Stoic and expressionless are the same thing, and at the same time she's grumpy and uneasy? You need to focus her in one direction and then go from there.
If I were you (and right now she's just a kid so she doesn't have the ability to possess many traits), I would make her mature and quiet, with a lack of humor and dislike for company her age (as they're all young and playful, in contrast to her). She could be a little pretentious, staring down her nose at others and seeing herself as above everyone because she doesn't express too many emotions other than scorn. While she does desire some company (she's a gorram Clan cat, after all), her stand-offishness makes her unlikable and ignored, resulting in her being alone, resulting in her having no way to compare and relate to others, which results in her attitude, making it a constant cycle.


Dewpath
Name Rating: 3/10
Name Type: Canonical/Lyrical
Name Reasoning: Dew- is roughly equivalent to Puddle- or River-, in that it's pretty nondescript. It's transparent, and it disappears as the day progresses.
As for -path, it could mean a myriad of things; the cat could follow their own path or the right one (-heart), they could be swift and agile (-foot), or they could always follow the right tracks when tracking something (-nose). It's just not useful!
Besides that, she's a skilled swimmer, so that ought to be worth something.
Alternative Name: Hailstream/Roachstream. Hail- and Roach- (the fish, not the bug) both cover a light grey tabby, and -stream denotes her skills in swimming.

Character Rating: 8/10
Character Reasoning: Her character's pretty good! I would leave out the timid and shy bits, though, if she's inquisitive. Curious cats are usually fairly bold and adventurous, but other than that, I think she's just fine.

[Arcaii]

Image/Description: Light gray with blue eyes. (He can't hear well but he isn't deaf)
Name: Ice- (Need ideas)
Gender: Tom
Clan: SunClan
Rank: About to be a warrior
Personality/Skills: He is cold, Excellent at fighting and hunting, and wants to be leader.
Important Notes: He is Ravenfeather's and Bluewing's son, when he was 9 moons, he joined a pack of rouges, 5 moons later he came back to SunClan but a part of him still wants to take over the clan.

Sorry for the wait, Breeze. That last one was a real kicker.

Name Rating: 7/10
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: Ice- is actually for a white cat, rather than a light grey one, but that's a minor thing. He's a skilled fighter and hunter, so that's a -fang cat.
Alternative Name: Frostfang. Frost- is more of a light grey as well as a white cat, and -fang denotes his abilities!

Character Rating: 7/10
Character Reasoning: There isn't much to him other than "cold", and I have to wonder why he left the Clan for five moons. Furthermore, why does hanging out with some cats make you want to take over your Clan? Rogues can be a little nasty, sure, but nasty doesn't mean desiring power. If he was the leader of the group, and wanted some of that power back, then sure, but I don't know what his reasoning is.
I suggest adding more to him. Is he distant and aloof, and that's why he left for a while? Did he just ache for adventure? Is he blunt and a bit more pragmatic thanks to not having a secure home for a while? Does he feel like he's not equipped to come back to such a big home? Does he avoid questions about where he's been like the plague? Think about it.

Description: Long haired calico male cat with unusually longer legs.

Name: SpottedStep

Gender: Tom cat {male}

Clan: Windclan

Rank: Young Warrior

Personality/Skills: SpottedStep is a very social cat and loves to talk with the warriors and elders and play with the kits in his free time; occasionally takes queens and elders there food. He enjoys running in the flat lands of Windclan which is easy for him since he has unusually longer legs. SpottedStep is soft type of cat which makes him a target to most rude cats.

Important Notes: He's about 20 moons {months} old

Name Rating: 7/10
Name Type: Semi-traditional
Name Reasoning: The issue here is that you're using -step in a place where it shouldn't be used. The rule of -step is that it mus correlate with the prefix, and the cat must walk like the prefix (walk like a kestrel, or a fawn, for example). Otherwise, his name is fine (btw, that's a tortoiseshell you've got there, not a calico. The differences are this and this, respectively - tortoiseshells are a mishmash of colors, and calicoes have larger patches of color).
Alternative Name: Spottedfoot. I'm guessing that he's a fast cat, since he loves to run, so he gets the -foot suffix. If he isn't, stick with -fur or -pelt.

Character Rating: 8/10
Character Reasoning: The biggest issue here is not his personality, but his gender and his coat. Tortoiseshells and calicoes are specifically female, and males of those colors are incredibly rare, called "chimeras". From his description, he isn't a chimera, so the main thing to do here would be to either change his gender or study up on chimeras and make him fit with that and its side-effects. Otherwise, he's a pretty cool cat! (see what I did there)

Thanks! I'll try to write more but I was just in a talent show. ^^
