Frostwillow lists names they don’t like.
1. Snowbush
The prefix snow is great and one of my favorite prefixes, but I really hate the suffix bush, as it gives no hint to Snowbush’s personality. I would have preferred Snowpelt over this, since this is the typical “plain” name used for background characters. The name “Snowbush” makes me think of a dead bush, while Snowpelt makes me think of a fluffy white cat. Which one represents the background character more. I believe Snowpelt does. Other background characters have beautiful names, like Cloudmist and Dawncloud, but Snowbush’s name reminds me of an ugly dead bush. If a name had to be plain, I wouldn’t make it ugly. Also, aparently it’s also a name of a plant.
Alternative Names
Snowpelt
Snowfall
Snowdusk
Snowberry
2. White-eye/One-eye
In my opinion, One-eye has never had a decent name. She started out as Whitekit when she was pale gray. How pale was she for her mother to name her Whitekit? Her warrior’s name was after an injury, which was cruel for Pinestar to do, and the name has two e’s in a row. With the “-“ added into the name, it looks different from other names, which I don’t like. Her second name has the same problem and is also after an injury. If I were leader, I would give her a name like Whiteheart or Whiteshine for being brave in whatever situation she lost her eye in.
Alternative Names
Palesight
Paleshine
Lightwhisker
Lightwillow
3.Blackfoot
The authors obviously didn’t think about Blackstar as a kit because his name makes no sense. Why would you name a kit Blackkit if they have barely any black on them? Was the black even visible on him when he was named. Blackfoot’s appearance is like a color points, and color points are born all white. The type of pattern Blackfoot has is genetically impossible, so he would probably be a color point in real life. That would mean there’s no way he would be named Blackkit, since he looks all white. Also, I hate the suffix foot, but that’s the only other thing than “paw” to describe a cat’s paws, so it’s either that or leg. Also, Blackstar’s name is also a Native American Tribe.
Alternative Names
Whitestep
Darkstep
Haildapple
Sleetfoot
-Honerable Mentions-
Foxheart
Crookedjaw
Maggottail
Quietkit(stillborn??? I’m pretty sure she was born in Crookedstar’s leadership, may have been killed by him)
Frecklewish(only bc it was used twice for some reason)
Uh… Frostwillow… Snowbush… (You know willow is a tree right???)
lol
White-eye/One-eye deserved a better name. She shouldn’t have been named after an injury. Pinestar was cruel to do that to her. Great article!
It’s basically the other version of BrightHeart/LostFace
yep
Same with Lostface. Bluestar, WHY?!
It totally agree! I have always found Blackfoot’s name weird because it seems like his parents were setting him up for a particular warrior name.
