Name Rating

[[deleted user]]

Not sure how good your name is? Worried about how well it flows or represents your kit/apprentice/warrior? Post your character's name and appearance here and me or another mod will rate them!

Ex- Flamewhirl- A dark ginger she-cat with dark amber eyes.
(this part is optional) Her prefix comes from her pelt color, and her suffix comes from her personality, because her mind is always a whirlwind of thoughts.

Then a Mod will reply to the post like this:

Flamewhirl- Very nice name! Its an interesting combination to be sure, but it suits the character to a T! 10/10


Or, it could go like this:

Brownmist- pale yellow tom with green eyes

A Mod might reply like this:

Brownmist- An interesting name, but I don't think it really goes with the appearance. Brown as a suffix should have brown fur somewhere on the body, and -mist for a suffix usually have gray or a gray-blue somewhere, either on the pelt or in their eyes. I think the name is good, but it needs a different appearance to make it work 1/10

---------------------

It is up to you if you want to add an explanation for the name under the appearance, its not required, but it can be helpful with rating names.

The rating will be on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, and 1 being not so great. With every rating below a 6, the mod will offer advice to go with the name that will help it be more appropriate.


Only I, Sakura Bellarose, can rate names! The only posts coming from other members should be names to be rated! Spam WILL be deleted!

Frostclaw ~ large white tom
Ivyleaf ~ Black and white she-cat
Mintlef ~ Name comes from event in history. Warrior, she-cat

[[deleted user]]

Frostclaw- Frost is definitely a good prefix to use on a white cat, though I rarely see it used for a tom, it is a unisex prefix nonetheless, and can be masculine when paired with the right suffix. -claw is a good way to go to make it seem less feminine and makes it in all in all very canon but pleasant name that suits the appearance well. 10/10


Ivyleaf- Let me just say right off the bat, Ivy and leaf are a really nice pairing, though I'm not entirely sure her appearance goes with the name. Since kittens are named no later than one moon after being born, their eyes wouldn't be open yet so even if she has green eyes, it wouldn't work for the reasoning behind the name. If she has a long tail maybe, the mother could think of it as 'long like twining ivy' or something similar and that would make sense, but the coloration doesn't really match. Good name, but the appearance doesn't go with it. 6/10

Mintleaf- Another one that I think flows nicely. I love plant prefixes going with a nice plant suffix, and Mintleaf doesn't disappoint.

However, I can't really rate them without an appearance lol. I can only say I like the name.

[Cimmerian_Primrose]

Shadowstep- dark furred she-cat with amber eyes
Skysong/Skyeyes- light grey and white she-cat with misty green eyes
Badgerclaw- big black and white tom
Wrenspark- brown tabby she-cat with hazel eyes
Pineclaw- orange and white tom with blue eyes

[[deleted user]]

Shadowstep- Clan cats don't use Thunder, River, Wind or Shadow as prefixes, not since the original founders Thunder, Wind, River and Shadow. It holds too much significance since its the names of the Clans. It would be the same as naming a Cat with Star or Moon as a prefix. They mean a lot to the Clans so it wouldn't work 0/10

Skysong/eyes- The appearance goes well with the name, though i would lean more towards eyes as the suffix. Her blue eyes could add extra significance to Sky the prefix for her appearance. All in all its a well thought out cat. 10/10

Badgerclaw- Very simple and straight to the point name lol. The appearance matches and its also a very canon name. Not too much needs to be said as it flows well and makes sense 10/10

Wrenspark- I love Wren as a prefix, and I love using it ^_^ But, I don't think spark fits for more than one reason. For starters, Spark isn't generally a word to be used and (actually if you look over in the questions topic I say that its a no-go to use in a name) Wren is much too soft a prefix to pair it with something powerful like Spark. Wren is a gentle and small kind of prefix and should be paired with something more feminine. The appearance is nice though and well thought out and with a more feminine suffix, it will be a nice cat. 8/10

Pineclaw- Ah, here's a prefix I don't see often! It would definitely make sense for this guy to be a ShadowClan cat since they have pine trees. Pineclaw is a good pairing to be sure, but I don't feel like his appearance matches very well. When I think of Pine as a suffix, I tend to think of russet cats like old pine needles look like, not orange and white. 6/10

[[deleted user]]

Russetfur~redish fur,she-cat,green eyes.

[[deleted user]]

Russetfur- Very canon and nice name, straight to the point in describing her fur ^_^ The only thing is that its a name from the books and I'm not sure if Asmaa and Megan will allow that or not as I generally don't. That aside, it does fit the cat's appearance. rating pending name from book approval

[[deleted user]]

Willloweyes~Green eyes and grey tabby~She-Cat~River Clan.

[[deleted user]]

Dewdrop~Grey Tabby with blue eyes~She-Cat~River Clan.

[[deleted user]]

Willoweyes- A very nice name. It definitely flows well and Willow is a good prefix for a gray cat, especially a RiverClan cat. 10/10 Note- the prefix Willow has already been used in the group

Dewdrop- Here's a prefix I don't see often, probably because it can be difficult to pair with a suffix. -drop is a good suffix to go with it, and both the eyes and pelt color match it well. 10/10

[[deleted user]]

Thank You for the feed back. :D

[[deleted user]]

^_^ of course.

[[deleted user]]

Nightfire/Silentfire/Silentnight: He's a long-legged all-black tomcat with piercing green eyes and a long, thick tail. He's the WindClan deputy, and he's an exceptionally fast cat, with a very narrow, lean build. His defining quality has been that he speaks extremely little, and ghosts about in such a way that others don't see him until he's right there.

I does seek Sakura's expert opinion on this because I'm stuck with a dilemma. Can't decide which name I should pick, or if I should trash all three, perhaps, if they're too ridiculous?

[[deleted user]]

Nightfire/Silentfire/Silentnight- The appearance is a good one to go with a prefix such as night, for obvious reasons. ^_^ I will say this, I don't generally approve of using Silent as a prefix, simply because, all kits make noise when they are born unless they are born mute, and one would hardly want their name to tell the world they can't speak. It would be akin to calling a kit who can't see Blindkit, or a kit who can't hear Deafkit. The lack of speaking shouldn't be what they are recognized for, or rather they will not be happy that it is what they are recognized for as there is often other much more impressive or better aspects that could be highlighted instead. I would suggest using Night or Dark as a prefix, and if you are using his minimal speaking as a defining quality, pair it with a suffix of something that exemplifies that. -Whisper is a good suffix to go with it.

-breeze would work too perhaps. A breeze is a gentle wind, and as such is often felt rather than heard.
-ear would work too, in that you are exemplifying that he listens more than he speaks, or is seldom heard. It could serve as a double meaning.


I do like Nightfire, by the way, I'm just not sure it suits him very well from what you've told me about the defining quality that he has. Fire is fast, loud, ferocious and takes no quarter, it doesn't really sound like your deputy is like that, ya know?

[[deleted user]]

This. ^^ this is why I asked for your opinion :D
Right, so, that's very true. But it wouldn't be the name he was given at birth, it's a name he was given sometime later because of...reasons that I shall disclose later when I actually write him up because right now I'm lazy.

And I'm leaning towards Nightfire right now, because though you're right about fire being loud and ferocious and all, that would apply to him in such a way that it acknowledges his inner fiery spirit, I think. Would that make sense or be too weird?

[[deleted user]]

In the end, it all depends on how you write out his history and personality. So long as it reflects the suffix you've chosen than it could work.

[Cimmerian_Primrose]

A grey tabby tom with a few white and black spots. He has medium fur length, orange eyes, and a strong build. (The cat I posted in the picture to name)

Ashfire
Ashheart
Cederclaw

[[deleted user]]

Ashfire/Ashheart/Cedarclaw- Out of the three, I think Ashfire would work the best. When the tom is born, his gray, black and white pelt could easily make a queen think of ash and name him that, then either his orange eyes or his firey personality (depends on what he acts like or what you want to represent) could easily be why he is named Ashfire.

Ashfire 10/10
Ash-heart 8/10
Cedarclaw6/10 (Its a good name, but I don't feel like it would suit him)

[Elise,]

A white sleek she-cat with light gray paws. Is very quiet and conservative. Good hunting/stalking.

Lostmist
Featherstep
Stonefoot
Mistheart

[[deleted user]]

Stone and Feather have been used already, and Lost is not a viable prefix.

Mistheart- Not bad for the appearance. I can imagine why a cat in RiverClan maybe would name a cat mist, though I'm not sure about heart as a suffix. If she is quiet and conservative, heart probably isn't the way to go. Maybe something like Mistfoot (which would work with the grey paws as the name as a double appearance) or a prefix that would exemplify her being a quiet she-cat. 6/10

[Elise,]

I'm also working on her appearance. After reading through some of the cats already created, I found another cat looks very similar to her.

[[deleted user]]

Well, just because it looks similar to your cat doesn't mean you have to change her, they will just look similar.

[Elise,]

It's really weird how close both cats are. My cat and Frostpaw. Both in shadowclan. Both white with gray/silver paws...

[[deleted user]]

*shrugs* there were cats in the book series whose descriptions at the beginning of the book were identical. It really isn't weird or a big deal. In a group of cats (or several in the case of 4 different clans) THIS big, its not going to be that weird that some of them will look similar or alike in some fashion.

[[deleted user]]

If you are that worried about it or concerned or what have you, just add more description that gives tell-tale differences between your cat and Frostpaw, like longer whiskers, or darker gray paws.

Or heck, see if you can have your cat related to theirs even.

[Cimmerian_Primrose]

Ravenflight (to the pic)
Beetlesplash

Shadowclan

[[deleted user]]

Ravenflight- A good name to be sure. The suffix is a sensible pairing to Raven. 10/10

Beetlesplash- This one is interesting. I don't think I've ever seen splash paired with beetle before, but then again I rarely see it used as a suffix because it is hard to find a good reasoning behind why splash would be used. 7/10

I would go for Ravenflight I think

[[deleted user]]

Willowleaf~(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] She-Cat,Riverclan.

[[deleted user]]

Brackenstar, leader of ThunderClan, very old tomcat with dark gold-black-and-brown striped tabby fur, liquid amber eyes, and black furred hind paws.

[[deleted user]]

Willowleaf- Willow is definitely a good prefix to use for RiverClan, as willows are more likely found in their territory than any others in the forest. If one were to assume that -leaf denotes the eye color for the suffix, then it is a very suitable name indeed. 10/10

[[deleted user]]

^^

[[deleted user]]

Brackenstar- ^_^ not much needs to be said about this guy because his appearance matches the prefix Bracken perfectly and I love the picture 10/10

[[deleted user]]

Yay :D I thought it did but I wanted to know what you thought! Thanks, Sakura :)

[[deleted user]]

^_^ no problem hehe

[Kikki]

Snowgaze- Very canon name. The prefix matches the color of the pelt and the suffix makes sense with the eyes. 10/10

[Kikki]

*shrugs* not much to knock on with a name that focuses on a cats appearance, its what most warriors and leaders do for the prefix and suffix and is the most common way warriors are named.

[Kikki]

yup, I wrote out a guide detailing and explaining how a warrior name is made on this group if you wanna check it out.

[Kikki]

indeed.

[Kikki]

Its a secret ;) I deleted my old account for a reason so only people who knew my old account know the previous name and I plan on keeping it that way for safety reasons.

[[deleted user]]

She's an apprentice right now--Blossompaw. Need help with her warrior name. I was thinking:
Blossomleaf
Blossomspots
Blossomrose
Thoughts/suggestions?

[Kikki]

Mmmm.....what's her persona like again? That's the best way to figure it out

[[deleted user]]

Very sweet, kind, and loving. Generally calm and quiet, and is easily hurt, but bounces back quickly. Isn't ever down for long, and has a quiet determination and fierce resolve others don't know about. She loves too much and too easily. Very optimistic and hopeful, to the point that she's a little naive. Always ready to try anything, and wants to please others and make her family proud. desperately wants to mend her relationship with her brother.

[Kikki]

Blossomheart might work. She's kind, loving, sweet, loves too much, wants to mend her relationship with her brother. Those are all traits that a suffix like heart would match

[[deleted user]]

Hmm that would fit. I actually didn't think of pairing heart with Blossom but I think it suits her. Thanks ^^

[Kikki]

XD no problem hehe

[[deleted user]]

Minnowstream - No appearance yet.

[Kikki]

Mallow is a taken prefix


and I forget if I made or reserved a spot for Minnowpaw actually, I have to double check the threads real quick before saying anything concrete about that prefix

[мєgαη ♥ღ❀ [ωє ∂ση’т нανє тσ тαкє тнιѕ, вα¢к αgαιηѕт тнє ωαℓℓ] ♥ღ❀, General Soulkeeper]

Kat I think you deleted Minnowpaw because she was blind and you already had a blind cat.

[Kikki]

ah right, I wasn't allowed to do another blind cat.

so yeah, minnowstream for the win then

[[deleted user]]

Thanks :)
