Jadeclaw lists other names that rival Twigbranch’s in redundancy.
Now, we all know that Twigbranch is considered one of the worst names in the series, even despite its meaning, but what are some other ridiculously redundant, boring, or just perplexing warrior names?
1. Stemleaf
This is basically just as bad as Twigbranch. The stem is where the leaf comes from. Branch is where twig comes from. Yawn
2. Birdsong and Birdwing
Both really obvious and boring
3. Blazefire
Same idea as Stemleaf and Twigbranch – just very repetitive in the theme
4. Basically any bird ones ending in wing, flight or feather
(I think they’re pretty obvious and unimaginative) Including such icons as Crowfeather, Dovewing, Jayfeather, Eaglewing, FEATHERWING?? cmon bro, Finchflight, Goosefeather, Hawkwing, Heronwing, Kestrelflight, Kestrelwing, Larksong, Larkwing, Robinwing x4….
5. Jumpfoot
Slightly better than Jumppounce i guess, but again, you jump using feet, so its also kind of boring to me
6. Frogleap
Yes, frogs leap. Your observational skills are astounding
7. SHARPCLAW
8 year old me was genuinely mad about how boring and dumb this name was. Seriously Firestar, this was early into your leadership, you can’t have run out of ideas already. If I got a name that stupid I would leave.
8. Lilyflower, Lilystem, Rosepetal
Also all fairly boring
9. Mistcloud
That’s just synonyms for water in a gas state. Calling them Fogfog is basically the same
10. Cloudmist
Are you serious rn
11. Mudpuddle
Yawn
12. Poolcloud
Are you a liquid or a gas??? Make up your mind
13. Songbird
😐
Some of them make me go seriously, what does that even mean
Such as:
1. Hazelwing (???? plant wings???)
2. Hopwhisker ?????? please explain to me how your whiskers are jumping.
3. Frecklewish ??? twice ????? WHAT EVEN
4. Nectarsong (are the flowers singing ???????? the bees?!?!?!)
5. Pebbleshine ??????????? Did the rock glow ??
6. Piketooth – what brought you to name them like this? He has fish for teeth ???
7. Rushtooth as well where are your ur teeth going in such a hurry ??????????????????
8. Spiresight – HOW DOES ONE HAVE SPIRES FOR SEEING ???
9. Stonewing. I hate to break it to you, your not getting far trying to use rocks to fly
10. Conefoot. Can your mother please explain to me why you are a cone? Are you very pointy? Do your ears poke up? Do you look like a pinecone?? I need answers
11. Gravelnose – That sounds painful
12. Maggottail. Your parents must have hated you.
13. Nettlesplash – How do nettles splash??? Did they liquify??? Who melted them???
14. Smallear and Longtail, I’m just imagining Smallkit and Longkit and for Smallkit….you know he’ll grow, right? As for Longkit……that’s just hilarious. How would you take a thing named that seriously? Hello, you are long.
15. Smoketalon. You’re not going to be very successful fighting cats with the intangible.
16. Troutclaw – good luck fighting everyone using fish
17. Heavystep is truly the name to use if you want to instill insecurity from day one (seriously, naming your little guy Heavykit??? That is a baby)
Most of these are fine names, I’m just nitpicking for fun because a lot of these have made me pause for a second while reading and then continue on my merry way. Have you got any extremely silly names that you’ve come across?
I think Billystorm and Bellaleaf are kind of weird.
Yeah, but theyve been Kittypets. Now, I think Stormcloud is lit just useless. Ik Bramble was a new lead but LITREALLY?! STORMCLOUD???
I like redundant names personally. I also LOVE bird-feather/song/flight names. But I guess everyone has opinions 🙂
yeh, Maggottail isn’t socially acceptable. no wonder he’s one of the earliest dark forest cats.
I think Sandstorm is a really boring name. None of those cats know what that is!
Not to mention Wafflepaw.
I named my brother ShrubBush when I was nine and now thar i’ve seen this it reminds me of that time lol
