Q&A for How to Make a Warrior Cat Name

Yes. It does not matter whether the name as a whole sounds like something from real life. (i. e. Rainshadow, Pinefur).

Yes, for sure! Clover sounds like a fresh, cute name, as well as being caring and gentle.

Ashheart, Ashnose, Ashtail, Ashfang, Ashflower, Ashclaw, Ashpelt, Ashwind, Ashblaze, Ashleaf, and so on. Go outside and look around. See something natural? Put that as the second part!

This decision is totally up to you but consider the cat's appearance and personality. The leader's name might also depend on what clan the leader belongs to. For example, if this cat was in Riverclan the leader's name might be Streamstar, Pebblestar, Shellstar, or Stonestar.

How about Crowflight? It suggests graceful and relaxing flight, but contains crow, a loud and disruptive bird.

Lilyleaf is good name for a Warrior Cat the lives in the forest or somewhere like that.

NIghtshadow sounds like a good name for a black cat. However, you could go into more detail with the color of the eyes, or pelt markings, like Nightwhisker, Nightriver, Nightstripe, or Nightnose.

Yes, for sure! Clover sounds like a fresh, cute name, as well as being caring and gentle.

Leaders were not leaders when they were born, so their mother would not have known. But they are wrought by experience. Some examples include the following: For girls you might want to do something delicate, like Dovestar, Dawnstar, Icestar, or Lilystar. Or you might want to do something tough-sounding, like Redstar, Tigerstar, or Lionstar. For boys, you might want to do something that radiates calm, like Jaystar or Stonestar, or something that says 'I'm in charge here, so move it', like Lionstar, Shadowstar, or even Jacklestar. Regal names include Dove-, Red-, and Jay-.

If you think it sounds right, go for it! If you name a cat something like Dragonflight, however, that would not be correct, because cats don't know what dragons are. If you name a cat something mythical, and you think it sounds right, then you can keep the name. Keep in mind that cats don't know anything mythical either, however.

Yes, totally. They sound like amazing and awesome names that hold strong personalities.

It doesn't have to make sense in the way that it's an actual thing; it just has to make sense in the way that your cat is white and you name it Blackshadow, or something like that, which doesn't describe the cat.

Yes! An example would be Gorseshadow, or even Blackshadow if you want to be really sinister.

How about Boulderclaw or Boulderheart? Anything with Boulder- will work. Or think of something else that is stubborn and unmoving and add a word that implies loyalty at the end.

Maybe something with the prefix Snow, like Snowpelt or Snowfeather. Or you could name her based on things in nature, like Aspentail or Breezestep.

This could be the case, although you might choose to name your cat Dragonfly____, because "fly" is part of the word. Most cats have two-part names.

Try such names as Grayheart, Treeclaw, Mousenose. While they do not call attention to his bad qualities, they lift up his good qualities, or help him to sound normal.

He has great sight and is very brave. Windclan would be a good clan for him.

Think about what the cat has by way of strength, interest or inner love, for example, Cloverheart, Grasspaw, Couragewort, etc.

Mistwren (as the splendid Fairywren is blue), Duskrain, and Sliverpool are ideas; feel free to mix and match.

Yes! It strays a bit from what cats would know about, but you don't need to follow every rule in the books.

Try something related to your cat such as Hazelfur or Hazelwhisker, or something related to nature, like Hazelwing or Hazelflower. For a more personality-related name, try Hazelspirit or Hazelheart.

Yes, it is an amazing name for a loyal medicine cat, very peaceful and caring.

It is often seen as cruel for a cat to be renamed (or named if they were born with it) after their injury. An example of this is Lostface from the books. Her name made her miserable, so it was requested that she was renamed. However, if you truly would like to name you cat after it's injury, think very literal. If your cat as an ear torn straight off, how about No-ear. If the cat has a limp, calling it 'Limpstep' or '[prefix]limp' might be good. These names aren't that appealing to the ear, though, so be careful.

'Firestorm' makes me think of a ginger cat instead because of the 'fire'.

You should name your cat whatever suits you, and whatever suits her/him.

Littlefrost is a lovely name.

Jadegaze or Jadestare might be suitable for a cat with green-gray eyes, while Jadeheart or Jadepool might be good for a calm, collected cat. Or you can use it to suggest something feminine or green.

Yes. I believe Whiteclaw was already used in the books, but you can still name your cat that if you want.

Yes, of course. Ask your friend first and if she agrees with it, you could use it.
