Re: Warrior Cat Names {Critiques and Advice} {Traditional}

I have seriously tried to fix this name. I need some help, if you don't mind.

Eelpelt
Very dark brown shorthair molly with brown eyes
Eelpelt is a optimistic cat who always looks on the bright side. She is brash and a total ham, so she loves being the center of attention. She has no outstanding abilities amongst her clanmates. She is a Marshclan cat, so she lives in a watery marsh where eels can be found commonly.
Her kin include: Mudstream, her mother, and Newtwhisker, her brother.


So, I really want the Eel- prefix, because I barely see it used, and It would fit great in a swampy clan, and go well with her brother's name. However, I'm having trouble finding the perfect suffix. I tried -creek, because I don't want to use stream as her mother has it, but the double EE bothered me. I kind of like -pelt, but it has the el in it again. Does this matter? Should I care? I don't really want to use -fur, because she has short and slicked down fur. Any suggestions?
call me something

She/her

    Eelstream is fine if she has the abilities for it; it doesn't matter whether she has the same suffix as a parent. However, it doesn't look like she does, so let's look at the others.

    -fur/-pelt/-stripe are all mostly subjective, and depend on preference. If what Eelpelt looks like bothers you, then it's fine to switch. Fur texture doesn't matter, either; Eelfur is just fine, even if her fur is very short. Eelstripe could also work, since brown cats are always tabby.

    Psst, Laurelkit could exist. She could easily be a blue point, but she'd have to have recent oriental ancestry, and she'd be white when born and then develop her points after a few days.
    Lichenkit, however, couldn't exist. A cat cannot be solid (black) and dilute (blue) at the same time. The only cat I've come across like that is a "tortie" tom who was a chimera.
    Given Birchclaw's description of "a silver tabby with dark stripes and mackerel striping" I'm going to assume that he's a black silver mackerel tabby so he must have fairly recent kittypet ancestry. He is, essentially, black. Therefore, he must carry dilute to have dilute kits. For Lichenkit to be a tortie (I suggest dilute to fit the prefix) her mother must be either a black tortie, blue tortie, red or cream. Making the mother cream gives the biggest chance of a blue tortie occurring. To add to this, I don't think you could have Cherryfang as a fawn tabby anyway, unless she has a different father - ideally, one who is cinnamon, which means a kittypet.

    Ah, thank you, Keriae! I was thinking of you as I was writing. I'm glad you dropped by, that's very helpful.

I always imagined the triplets to have kittypet anceserty to explain their coloring. Also, Birchclaw looks like this cat here. What would the kits' coloring be if he looks like this?

    That's a black silver tabby c: Give him a black tortie, blue tortie, red or cream mate - she should be point, and Birchclaw would also have to carry point - and then Laurelkit can be a blue point and Lichenkit can be a dilute tortie. The silver gene from Birchclaw is also dominant so I'd put it at about 50% of kits having it, but don't trust me on that. Tabby genes are also dominant, with mackerel (which Birchclaw is) being the most dominant. Therefore, most of the kits would be tabby, unless he carries self.
    That's all I can tell you to keep their descriptions close enough to their designs. The outcome of the kits depends entirely on what their mother looks like, too.

I have to say: I never imagined that in real life, Birchclaw could actually have these kits. :D I'll keep their parentage in mind when playing them! Thank you so much!

So I have a couple of ocs/fancharacters from an off-site rp and I was wondering if their names were okay? I'm just copying their appearances right off the other site.

Name: Rabbitface
Description: Rabbitface is a medium sized tom, rather lanky, with thick, spiky, red-brown tabby fur. He has large ears that seem to sit just right on his head, and a chubby face. Small copper eyes almost seem to blend in with his fur, making his cream coloured nose the thing that stands out.
Well, it would have stood out if it wasn't for the scars. Most of his muzzle is scarred, with the scarring on the right side going further up, nearly reaching his eye. Despite this, he is still seen as rather attractive.
Skill/Personality Notes: He's not really super good at anything.

Name: Thistlefang
Description:Fluff. Fluff, fluff, and more fluff. This tom is extremely thick furred.
Thistlefang is large, though he's not exactly in charge. Covered in extremely soft, extremely fluffy bluegrey fur, it would'nt be hard to mistake him for some kind of tumbleweed, or maybe some kind of sentient mop.
Small ears sit neatly on his head, and a somewhat large, creamy coloured nose seems to stand out on the sea of blue that is the rest of his body.
Oh, and the copper eyes. Can't forget about those.
Skill/Personality Notes: Well I have him -fang because he's okay at hunting but he's pretty good at fighting, but I don't think he was good enough for -claw.

Description: A small, black tom with four white paws and ice blue eyes.
Skill/Personality Notes: He's quite fast, for being so small. He's intelligent and quiet, and sometimes he is ignored or forgotten about for being so small and quiet. However, he's a great hunter.

I don't know what to name him... Before, I've thought of nontraditional names, but now I can't really think of something that matches. Thanks for the help!
