Fan ArticlesOnyxpaw lists names that don’t really make sense.
Okay, so theses are in no order on how understandable they are. There just random. Here we go!
#1: Whitewater
Ok so Iโm not that knowledgeable on this cat, but Iโve seen her before and heard of her in the books. I put her on here because I donโt really understand her name. And correct me if Iโm wrong but I donโt think any other cat has had the suffix โwaterโ
#2: Toadstep: Donโt get me wrong, I really like Toadstep as a character, but the reason I put him on here is because toads canโt step, they hop, if that makes sense
#3: Beetlewhisker: I donโt really know who this cat is, but Iโve heard of him a few times and I never got his name. Beetles donโt have whiskers.
#4: Runningwind: Alirght, I like Runningwind, he was one of my favorite characters back when I was younger, but I donโt understand his name because well itโs simple, wind canโt run.
#5: Stonestream: Okay, I comeplety forgot about this cat. But I donโt understand his name because like.. can he turn streams to stone does he look like a frozen stream I mean Iโm not even sure.
#6: Barkface: I liked Barkface as a character like Toadstep, but his name threw me for a loop, from the first time I read his name on a page, I was confused. Is his face bark? Does he have stiff bones? I kinda feel sorry for him.
#7: Owlwhisker: Okay, this cat is kind of the same was Beetlewhisker, Owls do not have Whiskers, that name does not make sense.
#8: Hollowflight: I liked this little Riverclan tom, but I donโt understand his warrior name at all. Names like โSquirrelflightโ and โKestrelflightโ make sense but not Hollowflight, because hollow things usually can not fly.
#9: Whiskerpaw/Whiskernose: Whiskernoses name made less sense when he was an apprentice. Paws donโt have whiskers. I feel bad because if I had a name like โWhiskerpawโ I would request to change my name.
#10: Crowfrost: I think Crowfrost is a pretty cool name honestly. But I donโt understand it. Is the crow frosty? Does this tom have frost on him? Does he get frosty in the winter? Endless possibilities.
#11: (And the last one): Runningbrook: I have known this cat has exsisted for awhile, but never really got the chance to think about her. I donโt understand her name. All I know is that brook can not run. This cats name is similar to Runningwind in the fact that both their suffixes are things that canโt run.

Great article! I like a lot of the names on here, even if they don’t make perfect sense.
SPOILER ALERT HIDDEN IN HERE IF YOU HAVE NOT READ A LIGHT IN THE MIST:
Great article! Very interesting. Runningwind actually does make a little sense because running then “wind”. indicates speed of wind. Also, it says in the book that Runningwind is very fast (faster than old fat belly graystripe who died) Maybe his name is very straightfoward and practical (maybe even too literal) but I think since he got killed by (crazy no brainer) Tigerstar, he deserves a raise lol.
Graystripe didn’t die, he returned to thunderclan during a meeting with his kittypet mate Millie
(SPOILER FOR A LIGHT IN THE MIST)
He dies later…;-;
Great Article!!
Hollowflight:
Birds have hollow bones. This is what makes them light enough to fly. So hollow things do fly. They fly whenever we see a bird passing by.
For the names, the first suffix is what they resemble when they are kits. (ex: Beetlewhisker was small when a kit so “Beetle” was the first suffix.) The second suffix is about their character/personality. (ex: Bettlewhisker is very good at tracking so “whisker” is for him using his nose.
So why not name his Beetlenose or Beetlestalk? I think maybe he had very nice whiskers. Such nice ones in fact that the name they gave him had to do with them
Tbh, Twigbranch is honestly one of my least favourite names. Like, TWIGBRANCH. Seriously??
Before I read AvoS I thought that Twigbranch was a joke created by the warriors community but then when Tree appeared I thought “Oh. maybe it’s his daughter.”
These are all very weird names that really don’t make any sense, but I do like your article though!
Paws actually do have whiskers! That’s how they land on their feet. They twist and measure the distance between them and the ground with their paw whiskers! ๐
Iโd just like to say, the forepaws of cats have whiskers, and theyโre called carpal whiskers.
