Thank
you for reminding me to post up about pointed cats on the Common Problems post. My job here isn't to critique your cat's coat, though I must state for the record that pointed cats are specifically bred to be pointed, and they do not exist in the wild naturally. Your cat will, most likely, have to be an ex-kittypet, or someone with very recent kittypet origins.
Also! I did a quick Google search on lynx points, and there are a wide variety of them and what they look like, so I can't really be sure on what your cat actually looks like. Please be a bit more specific next time, coloring wise ("lynx pointed cat with brown/black points and markings across the legs/thighs" would be perfect, for example). It makes rating and suggestions a lot easier.

Reasoning: Thrush- means a grey-brown cat, traditionally. Pointeds tend to be pale gold in color (cream, whatever), with darker, usually brown legs, tail, and face. You can see the issue here.
I do understand that -mask can mean a pointed cat, but as said above, there are no pointed cats in the wild naturally, so the Clans, most likely, would not have a specific suffix for them (the only specific marking suffix is -stripe, and even then that has some rules to it, so there's no point). They have a skill, speed, and here we tend to value skill over appearance.
Pointed cats are inherently difficult to name, just so you know, so these suggested names will be a little shaky.
Alternative Name: Daisyfoot/Knotfoot. Daisy- means either a light golden cat or a white one, so depending on how dark or big their markings are they could be named for the majority of their coat. Knot- refers to a grey-and-white patched cat (assuming that the markings in question are merely slightly darker than the rest of the coat), and -foot refers to a fast cat.
