NAMING GUIDE - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
When naming a cat, use traditional names. For prefixes:
- Pertaining to the kit's appearance (Fox- for reddish coat, Tiny- for small size, Squirrel- for bushy tail)
- In honor of another cat or ancestor (Leaf- in honor of Leafstar and possibly Spottedleaf, Tiger- in honor of Tigerstar, Cinder- in honor of Cinderpelt)
- Other, seemingly unrelated to either (Holly-, Petal-)
For suffixes, kits receive -kit and apprentices receive -paw. Leaders receive the suffix -star. Good examples of suffixes are -claw, -storm, -pelt, -eyes, -foot, etc.
There are a few reserved words that cannot be used as prefixes for names because they are held sacred by the Clans:
- -star, -kit, and -paw
- Spirit- and Moon- (as these represent sacred notions)
- Shadow-, River-, Thunder-, Wind-, and Sky- (in honor of the Clan founders who first had the names)
If you need help thinking of a name for your cat, you can use the guide found *HERE* for help. Also, you may ask an admin or another member for help.
