- [note: i am a traditional rater, so please don't get offended. i give scores by how the name goes with best with the cat. also, my names are supposed to fit my character and be lyrical, not be pretty. source: prefixes | suffixes]
- riverwish: [2/10] 'river' is the name of one of the main four founders, and let alone an entire clan. it is extremely offensive to name a cat after that; it's as if you are saying that this particular cat is greater than river clan. now, 'wish', it has no meaning whatsoever. if she is quiet and doesn't talk much, how would the leader know of such wishes she makes to starclan. it doesn't say anything about her, nothing about her skills, her looks, or her personality.
suggestions: silvercloud- 'silver' is for the color of her pelt, and 'cloud' is for her open ways to starclan. this also works if she is kind and patient. | silverfur/stripe- 'silver' is for the color of her pelt, and 'fur/stripe' is for her looks since she does not seem to have any skills.
bramblesong: [4/10] this is a semi-tradition name. it fits her prefix, which are given for their looks, but 'song' only make the name sound 'pretty' and not related to the cat at all. sure, having a pleasant voice is always nice to hear, but you aren't exactly being named after your skills- which is something you should be very proud of. you can’t sing down your enemies, or sing to attract prey.
suggestions: bramblefur/pelt- you didn't exactly mention a skill, therefore she would be named after her personality.
briarleaf: [6/10] this is a misplaced traditional; the name itself is structured enough to fit a cat, but the description does not go with the name. 'briar' is for a brown tabby cat, not for a grey-brown cat. and it seems as though you given her 'leaf' due to the fact that she has green eyes? it's not exactly very prideful to be named after your eyes; it's more of an honor to be named after a skill you hold in which you help the clan with. also, 'leaf' is a suffix used only for medicine cats- and that is only if they are extremely talented with herbs.
suggestions: mousefur/pelt/stripe- you didn't exactly mention a skill, therefore she would be named after her personality.
halfheart: [5/10] the prefix 'half' is never given to a cat, let alone a kit; but, although it can be a name-change prefix, it is usually followed by either 'face' or 'tail, or anything related to an injury. 'heart' does fit this cat quite well for a warrior suffix; it's for cats that are outspoken are invariably self-confident, and self-confidence that often encourages trust and respect from the others around them.
suggestions: cedarheart- 'cedar' is for his dark tabby pelt, and 'heart' for his personality. halftail/ear- a name change for his injuries.
my cats:
appleflower: a light golden molly with a faintly mottled pelt and bright green eyes. although she has no notable skills, she contributes to the clan by helping new queens care for their kits, and is known for her motherly personality for those around her.
spiderfang: a young brown brindled tom with deep copper eyes. he is extremely talented for both hunting and fighting. although his skills are very useful for his clan, his short temper and sharp tongue does get him into trouble with other cats.
