Alright. I found it in a book, and was confused on the singular. Darn it, if you guys are using Ibis- and Egret- does that mean I can't?

Alrighty, on Ibiskit I found a picture. He has a black mask, and his whole rump is black, not just his tail. I'm going to post applications for him and Egretkit, but I don't know what to do about their mom...

Ohhh, I like Aspenflower! Larchtail too! I thought about having a Lark-something... but I'm not sure.

I'd love to see this picture. c: I once had a cat with a black mask, black tail, gray-brown splotches on her back, and the rest of her was white. It's an actual cat, too. Hard to believe, but true. She was Sageheart, my old medicine cat from VenomClan. x33
Thanks! I'm quite fond of Larchtail, too. I've never seen Larch- used before. :*
Lark- is a great prefix. Larkheart? Larkfur? Larkfang? I dunno. x3

Mmkay, I'm going to post their applications at the same time, so it may be a little bit before they are posted.

&pokessecondlastpost Scratch that Rachel. You might want to ask Dawn before you use Egretkit. I don't care if you use Ibiskit, but Dawn has been planning to use an Egretstep. Though I don't know when, I shouldn't have spoken on her behalf... Sorry, the thought just occurred to me.
Falcontail -- Reminds me a Falconpaw from VenomClan, who was in love with Moonshine and then drowned. So sad... Anyways, nice name. A brown tom with a lengthy tail or good balance? 8/10
Doewhisker -- I luff the prefix Doe- but I'm not sure -whisker pairs 100% well with it. I picture a light brown she-cat that has a curious and inquisitive personality? 7/10
Whitestream -- Major luff for this name. I actually have a character named Whitestream that I use on the NeoBoards. 9/10
Cloudfang -- Eh. At first glance, I take this name literally. As in, a cat with fangs of clouds. Hmm, that doesn't sound like a fierce warrior name. P: I know you mean a white cat that's a ferocious fighter, but maybe Whitefang would sound better. 6/10

I need help naming this kitty.

I sort of like Pebble as a prefix for her, because pebbles are many different colors, and she is many different colors.

So I have a few names to run by:
I had Moonstep and Sunstripe, but realized they failed and X'd them.
What about Silentheart and Birdblaze? I'm not such a fan of Silentheart though... perhaps Dusksomething... Duskfur, Dustpelt, Duskwind...
Also, for two apprentices I want to make, are the names Windpaw and Daypaw okay?

Hey Auden! I SEE YOU TOLD THE COLONS.
Silentheart: Well, I really like the -heart suffix but I'm not too crazy on the Silent- prefix. I wouldn't use it, because kits aren't silent unless they're mute or dead, and naming a mute kit Silentkit is pretty cruel. "HAHA SILENTKIT YOU CAN'T TALK!" D: "........." "HAHA!" (Sorry, but I just had to... ^) 'Course if there's a special reason for the prefix and you can explain it and it makes sense, I can deal with it. : P
Birdblaze: Eh, Bird- is a bit too vague. What color is the cat's fur? I can direct you to a page that has a huge amount of bird prefixes. -blaze makes me think the cat's on fire. However if you want to describe their fiery personality you can use the -storm, -claw, or -fang suffix.
I vote Duskfur! :3
Windpaw: You can't really see wind though, so it wouldn't be describing the cat.
Daypaw: Day- is a bit too vague of a prefix. How about Lightpaw or Dawnpaw instead?

I just laughed really loud, great I think I woke up my mom. I blame you! Haha kidding. Yes, yes I told the colons. And now I have oreos. Nah, I don't like Silentheart very much. Duskfur, yeah I like that. I'll use that. And for her brother, what about... hmm... Wow... my brain is stuck. Blizzardheat? Because he was born in a Blizzard, but his personality is very hot-headed? Lightpaw is good, yeah. And okay, not Windpaw. What about.... Tallwind? Tallpaw at first?

Post by Rebecca on Apr 18, 2010 9:31:12 GMT -5
Blizzard would be fine as a prefix, but stay away from -heat, as if leads towards meaning that the cat is on fire. Literally. I'd try Blizzardfang or Blizzardstorm instead.
Stay away from anything wind, whether it be a prefix or suffix. It doesn't describe the cat at all. But Tall- is good.
There are only two things I can see. - Ripple... what does the cat look like? For a type of tabby or a tortie it could probably work, but anything else... - Unfortunately, there is a rule for no special kittypet, rogue, loner, etc. joining the Clans. It wouldn't work because honestly, why would a rogue or loner want to join a Clan and why would the Clan let them? That and I'm ant-Firestar. :0
BTW, don't think I'm trying to be mean or anything. xD

Post by auden on Apr 18, 2010 9:36:39 GMT -5
Gotcha. Hows about Blizzardclaw?
Ripple has kind of a gray pelt with stripes, so it looks like ripples.
Ah, gotcha. Could her name still be Jeweleye? And I'll just make Bliss a permanent Loner and make Dawnpaw another cat in MarshClan.

Blizzardclaw's good, too. c:
Jeweleye? Eh, cats don't know what jewels are though. :/

Yes, I'll change his bio.
You are correct. *sighs.* I'll make her... Sparkeye. Is that good? Like the spark from a fire...

Auden has some names to run by Becca/Pretzel/Frosty, da queens of traditionalism. -bows to their highnesses-
Swankit: Is the prefix allowed? Also, help with the suffix please? (I was thinking Swannose, Swanstep, Swanheart...) -stabs her bio in the limbo section- she's under construction, but here's a rough outline:
She's blind. She's curious. She's compasinate and not bitter about her blindness, at least not that she shows. In fact, she thinks that everyone is blind. She is kinda the anti Jayfeather, cause that dude just pissed me off and I wanted to rub something in his face . So she's nice and kind and tries to be the best warrior she can be. She has a great sense of hearing and smell because she's blind. That's all I did with her so far, I'll elaborate later.
I thought -nose would be good cause she's curious, or -heart cause she's determined, and I just love the sound of Swanstep.
Brightkit: I know this name is allowed because:
A) His pelt is a light, sandy color. B) There is a reason behind the name, a prophecy of sorts -stabs history- look @ him for more info
But I was wondering if Brighteyes was an okay suffix? I know -eye is okay, but I wanna call him -eyes plural. His eyes are unique and pretty, and it sounds awesome. Plus he's really sensitive and cries a lot, although he hides his tears. Hey, would Brighttear work... nah, I don't like the tt thing. What about Brightdrop? -shakes head- No, I really like Brighteyes. Is that allowed? {Also, he's based off the song Total Eclipse of the Heart, and in it they go "turn around bright eyes"} He can't be Brightheart, cause his brother is gonna have the -heart suffix.
Flurrykit: I need help with her warrior name. I'm thinking either Flurryflight, Flurryheart, Flurryfoot, or Flurryflower.
And, last but not least:
What about Thicketkit and Rootkit? Are those names allowed? They're nature like, and again, there's an ulterior motive behind them, but tell me if they're a no-no. {I'm planning on making them Dusky's kits.} To be: Thicketclaw and Rootfang.
Note: Anyone else who wants to help that isn't Rebecca, Frosty, or Pretzel is welcome

Swankit: After doing some research, I'm extremely iffy on that prefix. The notion of finding or seeing a swan so deep in the Appalachian Mountains is highly unlikely, but I admit that it could happen. Swanstep would be fine for me.
Brightkit: If Brightkit tries to almost always hide his tears, I don't think it would be good if he were given his warrior name after doing just that. Besides, how noticeable and different are his eyes from other cats'? Not trying to be harsh, but I don't think a leader would name a warrior after their eye color over a notable skill or trait after they've been training so hard for so long as apprentices.
Flurrykit: Any of the names I think are good, except for Furryflight. ^^; Flight means to run away, to take flgiht. This denotes cowardice in the cat, thus dishonoring the cat. I highly doubt a leader would do that to their own warrior. I like Flurryfoot the best. x3
Thicketkit and Rootkit: Thicketkit would work. Rootkit I wouldn't use, seeing that roots are on the bottoms of plants, things that usually only medicine cats really see. The average warrior probably wouldn't know or care enough about the root to name thier kit after it, y'know?

Swankit: Could I name her -swan if there's a back story to how her parents saw a swan? Backstory here:
Her name is unique, chosen because, on the day of her connivence, her parents were far in the mountains, out of Clan territory, by a lake. Smalltail and Rockfur had traveled there because they were sent on a mission by the current leader; to find a certain herb that had disappeared from OakClan territory. The two left the valley and headed north, reaching a lake where the herb was abundant. They gathered seeds and roots, along with the herb itself, and settled down for the night. In the morning, right before they left, they saw a beautiful swan gliding across the lake, a unique bird that they had never seen or heard of before. It's pure white feathers, pitch black beak, and graceful movement captivated them, and on their journey back to OakClan they ran into a rogue. Smalltail, who's mind was still dwelling on the mysterious bird, described it to the loner and asked if they knew the name of the creature. The rogue, who's name was Titanic, informed them that the magnificent animal was called a swan, and was very rare in the Appalachians. The two Clan cats thanked him and went on their way.
Four moons after returning to Clan territory, Smalltail gave birth to a single white kit. The proud parents named the she-kit Swankit, after the unique bird they had witnessed on their expedition. They were incredibly proud of Swankit and encouraged her in everything she tried to do, always insisting that she could accomplish everything she wanted. They thought she was the most special kit that had ever been born, and cooed over her every move. Swankit didn't open her eyes until she was a moon old, and when she did her parents were even more certain that she was special, because her eye color was so unique. Only once Shriekpelt saw Swankit's eyes did they realize she was beyond unique; she was blind. Smalltail was instantly ashamed, and shunned her kit for a large amount of time. She was overwhelmed with embarrassment, and left OakClan to become a rogue. Rockfur disowned Swankit; blaming her for the loss of Smalltail, and for the dishonor of having a disabled kit. All the rest of OakClan has always been kind to Swankit, loving her and giving her special treatment, and she has no memories of her true parents, beyond the encouragement they gave her when she was a moon old.
Flurrykit: Oh, okay. But I was looking at a link you posted for Gigi (it was like yesterday when she needed help with something and you were all "I took off my dancing kitty for you" I can't find the link now, but "flight" was listed as an acceptable suffix, because it described a flighty personality, like a hyper, distracted cat, which is Flurrykit exactly.) and yeah I like Flurryfoot as well, but Flurryflight I like just as much, so if you could find the link again I could show you where it said that it was acceptable.
Brightkit: Then could I call him Brighteye? -has a back story for that as well- (Basically he's gonna get an eye injury when he's a -paw, and end up with a scar over his right eye, like Scar from the lion king. -cackles evilly- Poor Brightkit.
Thicketkit/Unnamed: Oh ok I get it. But Barkkit is acceptable, right? Or what about Branchkit or Treekit? (any thing having to do with trees, haha)

Post by Rebecca on May 28, 2010 20:14:36 GMT -5
Then Swankit's fine.
Flurrykit: You mean this link? Yeah... I forgot to mention that this is only a good list for prefixes, not for suffixes and isn't a traditional guide. I just use it as a list. ^^; The thing is, why would a leader name her for being distracted and hyper? Wouldn't that be an insult to her?
Brightkit: Brighteye's cool.
Unnnamed: Branchkit's cool too, but I would name a specific type of tree instead of just using Tree as a prefix. There so many different kinds, you really should elaborate. xD
Sorry, I'm a name jerk.

No problem. ;D
I need a few opinions on these names:
Redstripe
Doestep
Falcontail

|
Post by auden on Jun 12, 2010 13:07:19 GMT -5
Redstripe - Reddish tabby tom, perfectly traditional if not very descriptive
Doestep - Light brown she-cat with some white on her pelt, gentle and kind, not really sure what 'step' describes. Personally I love that suffix but it's not very descriptive; she steps like a doe, but how does a doe step, and what does that say on her personality? Pretty traditional but could be improved, in my opinion.
Falcontail - Reddish/brown tom who's a good climber/hunter, probably fierce. Traditional.
Then again, you are supreme overlord and I am but a mere underling. Who am I to say what's right?
