If you are struggling to find a name for your warrior cat, or just want to have some fun, then check this article out. Give your warrior cat a new identity with a traditional warrior cat name.
Steps
-
Decide on your cat's personality. If your cat is silly and playful, you may want a name like "Squirrelleap". But if your cat is a noble warrior, you'd probably look for something more epic, like Lionheart, or Fireheart. Note that Prefixes can determine these traits as well as suffixes, or even the way the cat looks. For example, Lion in Lionheart says that the cat has the strength of a lion as well as the coloration, while "Heart" can be the appearance of the chest, or how brave the cat is.
-
Base the name on your cat's physical appearance. If they have unusual patterns or striking colors, go ahead and name them something like Flameclaw or Leopardpelt.Advertisement
-
Think about your cat's abilities and habits. If your cat loves to swim, for example, you could name them Graysplash.
-
Look at your cat's history. If they were always lovestruck, you could name them Larksong or Goldenheart.
-
Look at a few different warrior books and find two parts of a warrior name that haven't been used yet. If you like them, combine them! Examples:
- Ambertail. She-cat. Warrior. ThunderClan. Dappled tortoiseshell with white paws and dark amber eyes. Bright and sweet, a good hunter and kind. Wants kits of her own. Adores her leader.
- Bluefang. She-cat. Warrior. RiverClan. Blue-gray she-cat with amber eyes. A stern and uptight warrior. Hard to find kindness in her.
- Aspenfur. Tom. Warrior. ThunderClan. Gray tom with green eyes, was trained under Sandstorm. A quick and fast warrior, the fastest since Runningwind.
- Amberflame. She-cat. Warrior. ThunderClan. Ginger tabby with green eyes. Kind and gentle, a great mentor for overly energetic cats.
- Shadetail. Tom. Deputy. WindClan. Black tom with pale green eyes. Was once a maltreated kit during the regime of Brokenstar, was left to die in the woods during leaf-bare when he couldn't keep up with a raiding party but found his way to WindClan when they were driven out by ShadowClan. Has never trusted the cruel, hostile Clan of RiverClan. Is a natural leader though, but does his best to be modest. Is good friends with Dustpelt and Longtail, who are like him.
-
Remember that the first part of your cat's name usually stays the same throughout its life. If you had a warrior cat named, for example, Whiteflower, then Whiteflower's name would change when they become leader; Whitestar, or sometimes, when a warrior becomes an elder, their name might change. For example, if Whiteflower were to retire, and she had a broken leg from a badger, then her elder name could be Tornleg.
-
Know that the first part of a warrior name almost always starts out with something in nature. Colors, types of trees or flowers or nature, animals, types of weather, etc. The name must never include "Star," "Spirit," or "Moon."
- Moonflower was a mistake on Erin Hunter's part, and she has admitted to it. "Star" is the end of the leader, and it wouldn't be good if there was a "Starstar," now would it? "Moon" should not be used as it is religious, and a large part of Clan life.
- Moonstone, Moonhigh, Fullmoon, there are many uses. "Spirit" should also never be used as it was used only for the canon name "Brightspirit", a name dedicated to a warrior cats lover who lost her life in a tornado. It is also forbidden to use the clan names for other Warriors; Thunder, Wind, Shadow and River. Erin Hunter has stated these themselves.
- (Examples for prefixes are: Lily, Flower, Pine, Oak, Willow, Rose, Flame, Stone, Fox, Mouse, Dove, Hawk, Lark)
-
Have the last part of a warrior name fit with the first part. For instance, if his/her first name is Leopard, you may use Leopardfur or Leopardclaw. If it was Hawk, maybe Hawkflight or Hawktail (Ex: claw, fur, pelt, storm, tail) If your cat has a color, plant, or other thing as the first part, things can be more flexible.
-
Take your cat's appearance into account when naming him/her. You wouldn't want to name a sweet golden she-cat Darkpelt or Shadeclaw. You're better off naming her Goldfur or Dawnpelt.
-
Consider your cat's personal details. If your cat is black or a dark color, don't give it a name like Cloudfur. Stormcloud or Ravenfeather would probably be better. Give your cat a name that describes him/her in the best way possible.
-
Realize that your name doesn't have to be a combination of those names. Does your cat have something characteristic about him/herself? For instance Runningnose, from Erin Hunter's books, was named for his 'running nose' because he always seemed to have a cold.
-
Remember that when naming, they won't know the full character right away. You should not name it based on the personality, eye color, or even the full coloring of that cat when it is named. However, you could have the queen wait a few days before naming the kits. "Eye" is a very uncommon name, and most people refrain from using it (Blueeye is an example, but some use it for an elder as Blue-Eye. It is usually not used because of the "e" in the beginning and also there is usually a vowel in the last two letters of the prefix (usually "e", but it can be an "a"). If you do insist on having the "eye" suffix, Swaneye (A beautiful white she-cat with a black patch on her head that covers her baby blue eyes), Foxeye (A ginger tom with scars over his jade-green eyes, but does not harm his sight. He has black paws and a white underbelly), and Browneye (Extremely matted grey tom with white paws, black underbelly and brown eyes) are a couple of suggestions.
- Most cats don't have an obvious personality right away. The eye color for cats is always hidden for a while as their eyes are closed, and even when their eyes are open, they are blue and then fade into the final color.
- Also many cats, like tabby cats, don't show their markings right away. Don't name a nice golden she-cat sweet; you might not know they are nice until after naming them. Even the Warriors books have made this mistake.
-
Do not use certain words in your warrior's name. For instance, Dragon, Drake, Super, Power, Vampire, God/Goddess or kittypet names. Anything mystical or make-believe should not be in a Warrior's name, as it doesn't exist in the Warrior cat world and therefore doesn't make sense.Advertisement
