To Whiskerwing:
Honeywillow: This is a gorgeous name! I love it!
Tallbolt: Hmm, the first part is fine, but the ending is sort of strange. Tallstep makes more sense.
Voletwitch: Why would you name a cat after an embarassing twitch? That's sort of like making fun of him...another thing, not sure if you really care about this sort of thing but I'm going to say it just to get it off my chest, it's genetically impossible (or atleast extremely rare, only occurring in specially bred cats) to have a calico or tortoiseshell tom. Anyways, Volepatch or Volestripeor something of the sort make more sense.
Lightpath: Interesting, it sort of reminds me of the Thunderpath, so I don't know if any warriors cat would really do this, but it works I suppose. And again, its impossible to have a tortie tom.
Waterpatch: What? A patch of water? Odd, not really working. Waterpool or Heatherpatch make more sense.
Running-grass: Interesting name, very creative. I'm not a fan of the double g thing, but it works.
Webpaw: Cute name. A bit strange for a she-cat, but it's fine. A good warrior name might be Webfrost or something, since her eyes are bright blue.
Thistlerock: Love this name! Not crazy about the tortoiseshell tom though, hehe. Wink
Mistysky: Very pretty name...but not a name for a tom..at all. It sounds much like a she-cat name. The beginning "Misty" should not be for a tom. Graymist works better for a tom.
Wildheart: No, the beginning is just silly. I see way too many Wildkits and Wildpaws and it just doesn't make any sense, because all of the warrior cats are "wild" so that doesn't differentiate a kit at all.
Tatteredkit: Aww, why would a queen name her kit after his awkwardness and messy fur? That's just downright mean. Nonetheless, I guess it's okay. A warrior name might be Tatteredfur or something that's a bit nicer would be Mottledfur.
Foxtrot: -headdesk- A) Cats definitely don't know the word trot, that's a horse word. B) You do know that this is a type of dance, right? I'm sorry but that just can't be justified. Foxtail works better. Please, please, please don't use Foxtrot!
Gorgepaw: Interesting name. It's very creative. I guess it works. It's growing on me =D Gorgepelt or Gorgeclaw work great.
Vinepaw: Yes! I love the beginning, Vine. Vinepelt or Vinetail are cute names, but if you want something really unique, you could to something like Vineblossom or Vineleaf.
Crowtalon: Good name, I like it ^^
Clawglory: No...just no.
Pantherpelt: Well, as you know, I'm not a fan of Panther names. And I justify this because cats in Warriors use Lion, Leopard, and Tiger because those are the cats that "started" the Clans back in the beginning and they have heard stories of them, but they have never heard of panthers.
Ghostkit:: They don't know what ghosts are either. Yes, they know what spirits are, but not ghosts. And even if they thought they were the same thing, they would never name a cat after a spirit, because they see those as much higher than themselves.
Timberclaw: I'm not a fan of timber names, because Timber is not a type of tree. Timber is when wood is made into paper, after it is chopped down, so I highly doubt that any cat is going to use this for a name.
Joypaw: Umm...no. But, I think it's more of a personal preference. Some warrior names for that might be Joyheart or Joyshine
Talonear: It's a pretty good name, awkward flow, but it's okay.
Mistypelt: Yes! A nice, pretty, simple name that makes sense. Good name!
Silverclaw: Good name also, it makes sense and describes him well.
Birdfrost: Pretty good name, I like it!
Cragrunner: Well, crags are in the mountains, so this wouldn't exactly work for cats in the forest, but it's alright. It sort of sounds like a type of bird though, lol.
Brackenfang: Good name, I like it!
Lightninghawk/storm: I think Lightninghawk sounds too much like you're trying to show that he's tough and stuff and it's over the top. And Lightningstorm is just redundant, so neither are really working. With something long like "Lightning" something simple at the end works better like Lightningfur or Lightningtail
Cougarpaw: No, no. If they knew what a cougar was, then why would they call it Sharptooth in the mountains? So, this name just doesn't work.
Redpaw: Yes, this works. This is a nice, simple name, that describes him. Redstripe is perfect.
Oysterpaw: Interesting and creative, and I think it works. Oystertail or Oysterfur are cute.
Frogpaw:[/]b Good name, but not for a she-cat. Despite that, Frogtail makes it a bit more feminine.
Ferretpaw: I like this name, although it has always bothered me (and I know that the Erins actually used this name in the books) because I don't know how cats learned what ferrets are.
Halfleg: Now, this name works as long as he was renamed as an elder. If he was named Halfkit, then no, lol. But this name works for an elder.
Paleflower: Good name, very pretty.
Mudfrost: Also a good name.
Coldpaw: Not my favorite, but it works. I mean, I get that its because her fur is cold, which is just weird, but okay. Coldfur or Coldpelt are good and Coldheart works if she's a bit icy in pesonality.
Juniperpaw: I like the idea of this name but its awkward to say. The two p's are close together or something. Berrypaw sounds better.
Heatleaf: What? That's a really weird name. I'm sorry, but I really don't like it...

(Defending your names Whisker)

She can't justify squat, I swear she's picking on these names for the sake of it.


Panthers are leopards, just black. Everyone knows that! -headdesk-

Also, genetically toms aren't meant to be tortoishell, but Sol and Redtail are both males and are in the series. So she loses that argument.

Clawglory, she didn't even explain it. She just said no. I understand that she's a harsh name rater, but you can't say no without explaining it and actually making sense. Yeah Clawglory doesn't describe his appearance but it tells me someone who's a very good fighter and loves to tear some fur, a stuck up 'I am awesome' kind of cat.

Ghost and spirits are pretty much the same thing, spirits are more friendly I suppose but when people hunt ghosts they speak of evil spirits. They know. They aren't stupid. And as for the -higher being- nonsense they named Leafpaw, Leafpool, a name named after a sacred spot of StarClan. (What about BRIGHTSPIRIT? She's named that way, she's not seen as an official Clan cat so far but hey just because they haven't used spirit names before doesn't mean anything.)

Foxtrot- A trot is a type of gait, like limping or skipping. So I either your character walks like a fox or something. It's not just for horses. (but I can see why she'd be a bit, iffy) But she can't tell you 'it's not justified') Her picky attitude can't be justified if you ask me.

Cougarpaw- *facepalm* In the series they refer to the cat as sharptooth, but they also call it a mountain lion. A cougar is another name for a mountain lion, and maybe the mother has seen a cougar before, maybe she's heard the name. Again she's assuming way too much.

Tatteredkit- OMG, honestly? Really? Mean? Listen, there are plenty of kits named like this. Raggedkit, Crookedkit, Brokenkit. This isn't a mean name, if anything it could mean he has messy fur or a messed up foot. Raggedkit for his fur, Crookedkit for his jaw, and Brokenkit for his tail. Don't forget Lostface, cruel name but it suits her and is totally justified. So whatever.

Joypaw- *sigh* So you can't use cruel names, and you can't use downright happy names? So if I called him merrypaw or happypaw or maybe jollypaw I'd be sued for that too? I just don't understand...

Voletwitch- this one is priceless. Making fun of him? Erin named a cat Heavystep, why is he fat? She named one Loudbelly. There are more embarrasing names than Voletwitch; so I lost her there.

Cragrunner- Um, hello? The Great Journey had mountains and cliffs, they know what a crag is. Also SkyClan has a gorge with rocks and cliffs in their home so she's really saying cats are ignorant in this sense. Maybe Cragrunner was a Tribe cat once (who knows?) Again, assuming way too much.

Wildheart- If I said Tameheart would she beat me with a dead fish? Wild as in untamed, uncontrollable, Clan cats aren't wild like that. They are highly organized and social creatures, so I think the name works for someone who doesn't follow the rules but follows his heart. (as the name states)

Jupinerpaw- This one annoyed me, yeah the 'p's are close but Berrypaw is way too common. Is she trying to make your name the same as everyone else's? When I make a name I want it different from the cats in the series, to avoid confusion and prove I have creativity with all the words available in the world. So right... It's a cute name!

So that's all I got right now.

[Whiskerwing]

I thank you, Tiger, for that....um, well I don't know what I would call it. A rant, maybe? Anyway, you are so right. But, I thought it was funny. For some the cats that she suggested warrior names for, she actually got them right. Like Tatteredkit, he really is going to be Tatteredfur. And Vinepaw is going to be Vineblossom. I thought that was a little scary.

But, I was really ticked about Tallbolt, Heatleaf, and Timberclaw and Lightninghawk/storm. Those really made me furious! What's wrong with Tallbolt? He's a mean and strong and big, like a tall bolt of brown lightning. Heatleaf, well I can understand that one. It is weird but it's suppose to be like that because she's hotheaded and gentle at the same time. Timberclaw, okay she cannot excuse this one. Timber could be shredded trees for all she knows, and the Clans had the Treecutplace in the Forest so they know what that is. Not only that but I just looked timber up in the dictionary. You know what it says?
–noun
1. the wood of growing trees suitable for structural uses.
2. growing trees themselves.
3. wooded land.
4. wood, esp. when suitable or adapted for various building purposes.
5. a single piece of wood forming part of a structure or the like: A timber fell from the roof.
6. personal character or quality: He's being talked up as presidential timber.

There were other definitions but I took them out because they don't fit.
So she can't tell me that the Clans don't know what timber is.

And what the hell is wrong with Waterpatch??? A patch of water is just like a puddle!

And how is Frogpaw not a she-cat's name? I understand Mistysky's name. I honestly didn't like his name or Thistlerock's. And I don't understand why she likes Thistlerock's name when she doesn't like Lightninghawk/storm's. How does that work?

For Clawglory, I think I forgot to add the fact that his claws are long and twisted and he's proud of them and all. So, I understand that a little why she doesn't like it but still you're right. No comment at all? Really? She at least say what's wrong with it.

And how is Webpaw strange for a she-cat? That works perfectly. I mean, do you know any character(other than the spider and fly story) that is a male spider? No. A web is a beautiful thing, not a handsome thing. It's a beautiful, intricate, fragile thing.

She said she liked Ferretpaw. But, hang on, what's this? How do the Clans know what a ferret is?? WHAT? Is that a joke of a question? The Erins are mostly British, the Clans are in Brittan(believe it or not). Ferrets and weasels are veggie pests in Brittan. If the Clans know what a fox or a weasel is then OF COURSE THEY KNOW WHAT A FERRET IS!!!!!!! They know what a mouse is and a crow and shrew! So what makes a ferret so different?

I'm actually surprised that she liked Gorgepaw. I thought for sure that she would say something like "Gorge? Really? What's gorge? Why would someone name a kit that?". But, no she surprised me. And ya know, when I named Gorgepaw, at first I thought it would make people think about gorging on food and I didn't think it would work well but then I remembered the gorge in the forest.
