Lakeshine lists names they like and dislike.
Hi, Iโm going to explain the warrior names I hate (that are real) and why.
1. Mumblefoot – what mother names their kit Mumblekit? Seriously, who does? Itโs so STUPID, so Mumblefootโs mother must have hated him. Maybe his name should be Mudfoot instead.
2. Flametail – itโs not as bad as Mumblefoot, but Flametail is all orange, not just his tail. Maybe Erin could have named him Flamefur?
3. Yellowfang – I love the character and all, but my brother keeps joking that Yellowfangโs name is Yellowfang because she has yellow teeth. AND SHEโS NOT EVEN YELLOW SHEโS GRAY! So why did they name her Yellowkit instead of Blackkit or something. Or Russetheart. I donโt know, Iโve got no good names for her. Just, that name doesnโt suit her.
4. Rock – SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE POWER OF THREE ARC. Rock is just a bad name. It just is. I donโt know why, but I just hate it. Maybe itโs because heโs blind and his name should have been Storm (because of his blue eyes and attitude in the Last Hope). I just hate it and Rock the character I hate. Me: HEY ROCK, JAYFEATHER WAS RIGHT TO BREAK THAT STICK!
5. Hollyleaf – a good character without a good name. A hollyโs leaf is green. They should have named her Hollybranch or Hollytwig.
6. Alderheart – Does that mean he has the heart of a cruel adder? It sounds like it.
Now that Iโm past all the names I hate, letโs go to the names I like
1. Jayfeather – His name fits him well. His eyes are the color of a jayโs wing and his father is Crowfeather. Leafpool named him well.
2. Half Moon – Sheโs white, like a shining moon, and without Jayfeather, she was just half a cat.
3. Gray Wing – Heโs gray.
4. Graystripe – heโs gray with a darker stripe on his back. For his love, though, he should be called Grayheartโwait, scratch that. Grayheart would mean he has a gray heart, high means heโs mean
Silverstream – Itโs a beautiful name. Just beautiful.
5. Star Flower – I sort of hate it and love it, but itโs a nice name
6. Fireheart – we canโt forget good olโ Firestar, can we? Itโs a nice name because it describes his courage and willingness to keep peace.
Welp, thatโs all. Good bye, sorry itโs long. Sooooooooo long.
Hollyleafs eyes are green ๐
Alder is a tree ๐
Yellowfang eyes are yellow, so I’m assuming that’s why she was named Yellowkit
Feathertail is like Flametail, I think the author might have used it because “Fur” is a fairly common suffix
Great article though!
actually, yellowfang has orange eyes. it makes no sense to me, either.
Actually, itโs not โAdderheartโ itโs Alderheart. Suffixes are chosen based on personality and sometimes looks. Take Fireheart, he showed courage and kindness, hence, his suffix, โHeartโ. Sandstorm, โStormโ because she was quick and sharp tongued, but could be very kind. Raggedpelt, โPeltโ his fur was ragged from the start, it suited him well. (Canโt really say anything about Mumblefoot lol) You also forgot Loudbelly. (This name is pretty funny when you think about it!) In Crookedstarโs promise, some cat (I forget which one) says that Loudbellyโs name is Loudbelly because he liked to eat- kinda rude, but in a teasing way, I donโt understand the concept of calling a kit โLoudkitโ.
I never realized that about Half Moon’s name representing her relationship!
but how would half moon’s mother know she would lose her mate?
Nice article! I disagree with Mumblefoot, Hollyleaf, and Alderheart.
Mumblefoot: It’s a cute name! I don’t think naming someone after a mumble is mean unless they really struggle with it, and when Mumblefoot was born, he obviously couldn’t talk at all, let alone mumble!
Alderheart: An alder’s a tree, an adder’s a snake… but adders actually aren’t very hostile and won’t attack unless provoked!
Hollyleaf: She was named after Leafpool and her green eyes!
Firestar didn’t know that squirrelflight wasn’t the real mother to hollyleaf, so she was probably named after just her green eyes, not leafpool, unless leafpool told Firestar to name her hollyleaf without giving a reason.
Great article! Though, just saying Hollyleaf is a great name and hollies can be black.
My least favorite names:
. Hawkfrost (what?? Hawks don’t have frosts)
. Brambleclaw/star (bad character, bad name. His claws are brambles??)
. Stormfur or Stonefur
. Tornear (so you named your kit Tornkit? Wow. Ok)
I hate alot of names like Rock (just BORING), Mumblefoot, Runningnose, Whitethroat, Clawface, Loudbelly, Heavystep, Bouncefire and more but I’m moving on to good names:
. Brightheart
. Sandstorm
. Fireheart/star
. Jayfeather
. Hollyleaf
. Dovewing
. Ivypool
Bye!
I agree with Yellowfang. I actually don’t mind her name, but it still confuses me. I know she has yellow/orange eyes, but does that mean her mother waited until she opened her eyes to name her? Or did she just assume? Did Yellowfang have yellow teeth when she was just a kit? I am confused lol.
Nice article! Although I disagree on the Mumblefoot part. I think Mumblekit would be a cute name for a kit. MumbleFOOT though is a really terrible name, it just sounds so strange.
I loved most of it, but here:
noun: alder; plural noun: alders; noun: alder tree; plural noun: alder trees; noun: common alder; plural noun: common alders; noun: European alder; plural noun: European alders
a widely distributed tree of the birch family that has toothed leaves and bears male catkins and woody female cones.
Flametail: He might have an orange coat, but he still has a tail that looks like a flame
Fireheart: Fireheart sounds like a heart filled with fire, evil, willing to take down everyone and everything in its path.
Hollyleaf: green eyes
Yellowfang: yellow eyes
Half Moon: How does Half Moon’s mother know that her mate is going to leave her? Is she a fortune-teller?
Sorry for all these complaints I’m very sorry. ๐
