Weather and Time!
Current Season: LeafBare
LEAFBARE HAS HIT, AND IT'S FIERCER THAN EVER!
Hailstorms are raging over the territories, scaring away what little prey was left. Ice is ruling the forest, and with a dangerous sickness plaguing the clan... this may prove to be the most fatal winter ever.

EVERYONE!
This site wouldn't be what it is without everyone here. How's that for a fair MotM?
Thunderclan
Leader: Patchstar
Deputy:Robinleaf
Med Cat: Burningflame
Destinycall had a healthy litter of kits, and one never showed up in camp. Only three cats know the truth. Burningflame has promised to keep the secret, and Destinycll would never tell. Who was the third cat? The kits' father maybe?
Shadowclan
Leader:Crowstar
Deputy: Blackpelt
Med Cat:Sandfire
The sickness is plaguing camp like never before, leaving Shadowclan's Medicine cat stunned and afraid. Twilightstar's unexpected arrival has led Blackpaw into another fight with herself to decide her loyalities... And how many cats in Shadowclan are going to die without a known cure?!
Riverclan
Leader:Drowningstar
Deputy:Milkydew
Med Cat: Deadfoot
Milkydew brought a small, newborn kit to the clan. He asked his RiverClan mate, Seamist, to take care of it, as well as her other kits. Where did this kit dome from? Only three cats know the truth. Could Milkydew be the third, breaking the warrior code by having a mate outside his own clan? And what will become of the young she-kit, Currentkit.?
Windclan
Leader:Twilightstar
Deputy:Snowpatch
Med Cat:Leafsong
They have moved back to the old camp, and Snowpatch became the new deputy after Wingsky died. Four kits have become apprentices, and Sanctuarypaw earned her warrior name, Nightfire. Leafsong took the medicine cat position in the clan. This clan rebounded well from the sickness.

Shady's Warrior Name Rating « Thread Started on Feb 17, 2009, 6:36pm »
NOTENOTENOTENOTE!!! VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!! DON'TDON'TDON'T GIVE ME A CAT WHO DOESN'T HAVE A FORM ON SOTC, OR A DESCRIPTION! I AM GETTING SICK OF LOOKING THROUGH EVERY CLAN FOR A CATS INFO, AND NOT FINDING IT BECAUSE IT SIMPLY ISN'T THERE![at least import the old one from SOTCv1 and put it in pending or something!] less important note: Fur/Pelt is a very blah ending, and I'm seeing that WAAAY too much. Please, next time you name/create a warrior, remember that the suffix isn't on there just for fun.
I'm not sure if this will get more than two replies, but it was worth a shot.
So, I will rate your warrior names [warriors/meddies only, please =)] for free or your money back. I'll rate them without percents, but rather I'll fill in my thoughts with the following fields:
Sensibility: Does it make sense? Would the warrior cats have a slightest clue as to what something is. ex- Computervirus won't get very good points. Image: Can I kind of imagine [briefly] what the cat will look like? Warrior-ness: Would the warrior cats accept it? [aka no moons, suns, etc] Smoothness: Does to sound like an ocean wave or a thousand rocks being thrown at my tongue? How much it fits the cat: Is Yellowstripe a black cat?
I may add more later, but those are the basics.
So.. just throw your names at me--
oh, and before I end, I just want to give an example.
Badgersong, a cat of mine.
Sensibility: The only thing that could go wrong with this is some people thinking badgers don't have a song-- they indeed do, as song can mean a distinct sound, which badgers do have. Image: I would imagine him to be black and white, hence the badger. Warrior-ness: It is very realistic-- badgers live where the warriors live-- they even encounter them sometimes-- and it's just describing a trait. Smoothness: Could be my own bias, but I love how Badgersong sounds <3
So, now you have a taste of what I'll say to a cat with a good name. Now let's switch to Badgersong's son-- Bravebadger.
Sensibility: Would be be able to know if Bravebadger would be brave at birth, or even a week after birth? No. Thus, the first part doesn't make much sense at all. Image: I'd imagine him to look somewhat like a badger, which is somewhat right.. he's white with black stripes, but it's still not really great. Warrior-ness: Same with sensibility. Smoothness: It sounds pretty rickety on my tongue. Really long, and just sounds.. </3

STRIPETAIL
Sensibility: Warrior cats would know what stripes were =] Image: Definitely a tabby tom-- he would have a striped tail. Warrior-ness: Warrior-like-- 'stripe' is even a prefix. Smoothness: Stripetail sounds good, but it is a little bland me-thinks. How much it fits the cat: He does look like that iirc.
SNOWPATCH
Sensibility: Snow is sensible, describing a trait of white. Image: I'd imagine a white cat, there could be some other colors. Warrior-ness: Snow is constantly seen by warriors. Smoothness: Sounds good. How much it fits the cat: Black and white, fits.
LIONFUR
Sensibility: Sensible. LionClan is very popular-- especially among his decent, ThunderClan. Image: Orange or sandy colored cat-- could be long furred. Almost a spitting image of a lion [or at least he was at birth] Warrior-ness: Yes. It means nothing bad, and it could be twisted into a personality or just a trait. Smoothness: Sounds good-- though I think something that would describe his personality as a suffix would fit-- Lionheart I like, but I think that was used in warriors already.. How much it fits the cat: fine.. I would have liked a better ending.. lionfur is more than just a dull cats that should have that ending.
SANDFIRE
Sensibility: Sand, being a general term, can be used to describe pretty much any type of dry dirt, which can be found in a lot of territories. Image: Dull orange or sandy colored cat. Strong-willed from the fire ending. Warrior-ness: Not degrading or generally against the warrior feel. Smoothness: Sounds smooth enough. How much it fits the cat: she seems to have a firey personality [especially towards the protection of blackpaw], and the sand fits the name.
DROWNINGSOUL/RAINFUR
Sensibility: Drowningsoul: Sure, drowning can happen. Rainfur: Common prefix for something that's commonly there. Image: Drowningsoul: Blue cat, hopeless or a low opinion on self. Rainfur: Normal blue cat, no traits that really stand out. Warrior-ness: Drowningsoul: Drowning makes sense as a punishment, but soul doesn't really, since cats don't really believe in the same spiritual thing as us, I believe [don't take my word for it, though]. I also don't believe that two syllables are used [again, don't take my word for it]. Rainfur: Normal, fine. Smoothness: Drowningsoul: Kind of clanky-- probably because of the two syllables. But, that's it. Rainfur: Nice, short, and balanced. How much it fits the cat: good, the cat's blue, and she seems to be a little harsh..
SKYWALK
Sensibility: Sky is a good first part, describes well. Image: A white or blue-gray cat, perhaps just a gray cat. Maybe a cat who takes his time. Warrior-ness: Sky is a good prefix, the suffix is a little iffy if you're going traditional, but otherwise it's fine. Smoothness: Fine, short and smooth. How much it fits the cat: don't know a skywalk, i don't know.
I have homework to attend to. If no one else posts, I'll edit this post with your names, Twilight.
Twilight's
TWILIGHTDAWN
Sensibility: Warriors would know both-- but the name kind of contradicts itself.. twilight and dawn? Or is it the beginning of twilight? Not traditional, but I'm sure you knew that. Image: Gray, black, white, or a mix of those. Warrior-ness: Nothing forsaken. Smoothness: Okay, now for the thing I don't like, is how Twilight is TWO syllables. Two syllables don't sound all that great, as a general rule. How it fits the cat: Well.
SANCTUARYRUNE
Sensibility: I'm not too hot on this name, I'll start off by saying that. Sanctuary.. warriors would probably know what that means, but I STRONGLY doubt they know what a rune is. Also, a place for safety and symbols don't go too well together. Not traditional, but I'm sure you knew that. Image: I have no idea. Warrior-ness: Nothing forsaken, but they'd still have no idea what it really meant.. Smoothness: Sanctuary has [three or four] syllables. It sounds pretty clanky, and it's a mouthful to say. How much it fits the cat: Not much, but she is only a kit.
ASHENANARCHY
Sensibility: Ashen makes sense. Pale, of an ashen tree, sickly, etc. Warriors would know that. Anarchy.. I'm sure they'd know of that, but let me bring that up later. Image: A pale cat. The anarchy gives him a cruel kind of edge, though. Warrior-ness: Ashen, makes sense as long as they're not naming him after sickly. Afterall, it's like naming your child Kakka-- degrading. Anarchy.. it makes the name sound cool, but I'm not a fan of it. After all, anarchy [quoth dictonary.com] "a state of society without government or law" .. aand, that's really not a good way to end a name. Not traditional, but I'm sure you knew that. Smoothness: Ashenanarchy-- again, clonky, but it sounds kind of good with the repitition of 'a's. How much it fits the cat: I wouldn't say much, but he could grow into that type..
BLACKSNOW
Sensibility: Cats know what black is, and cats know what snow is. But it's confusing, and contradicting. Image: Dunno.. probably a black cat, or a black and white cat. Warrior-ness: Yep. Even though 'snow' isn't a traditional ending, I'm pretty sure you'd know that. Smoothness: Does to sound like an ocean wave or a thousand rocks being thrown at my tongue? How much it fits the cat: I don't know what he looks like..
DESTINYCALL
Sensibility: Sure, a call of destiny-- but upon me searching it up, 'call' is a male suffix for song[should've taken that into consideration with badgersong...] I take it you're not traditional, so I won't mention it anymore. Image: No idea. Warrior-ness: 'Destiny' isn't a good prefix, since cats don't follow [our] spiritual things, UNLESS you meant like something's going to happen, just a really general thing. Smoothness: I like it. How much it fits the cat: I don't think it does.
MIDNIGHTMOON
Sensibility: Sure, midnight moon. warriors would know it. Image: black cat. maybe some white. Warrior-ness: no. the moon is sacred, and doesn't belong on the suffix of a cat. Smoothness: midnight is the only thing I have a problem with, as it's two syllables.. otherwise, its ok. How much it fits the cat: Don't know what he looks like.
Whitesky
Sensibility: Sure, white.. sky.. fits. Image: white cat. maybe gray, nothing less, nothing more. Warrior-ness: yeah. white and sky works. Smoothness: nice. How much it fits the cat: whitekit's white. works.

DRYDUSK
Sensibility: Dry and dusk fit well. Image: I ALWAYS imagined him to be yellow Warrior-ness: Yes. Dry could be insulting, but it's not aimed that way. Smoothness: Drydusk is soo pretty sounding <3 How much it fits the cat: Kind of. Fits the dull colors, but it's not what I've imagined. But the 'dusk' at the end doesn't make much sense to me besides sounding nice.
MOONCLOUD
Sensibility: Cloud over the moon, sure. Image: White, gray, black, or a mix. Warrior-ness: No. The moon is sacred to the cats, and it simply wouldn't be accepted. Smoothness: It sounds nice. How much it fits the cat: Fits well.
SILKTAIL
Sensibility: Cats don't know what silk is. Then again, I just remembered Silk from a spiderweb. Tail makes sense. Image: Light colored. Soft fur. Warrior-ness: Fits. Smoothness: Short and sweet, nice. How much it fits the cat: It does.
BURNINGFLAME
Sensibility: Yep, burning makes sense. Image: ORANGE. If it's anything else, it doesn't make sense. Warrior-ness: Burningkit sounds like a kit d**ned to hell if it doesn't have orange fur, but otherwise it's good. Smoothness: It's a little clonky, but not that bad. How much it fits the cat: Fits well.
CROWDUSK
Sensibility: Crows at dusk. Sure, I like it. Not very descriptive of the cat, but that's okay I suppose. Image: Black. All black. Warrior-ness: It would be accepted. Smoothness: Crowdusk sounds pleasant. How much it fits the cat: Fits.
POPPYCLAW
Sensibility: Poppy is good, claw fits because of her brave and prideful personality. Image: Yellow, red, colors of a poppy. Warrior-ness: Yes. Smoothness: It's good, but not perfect. How much it fits the cat: Fits.
CRUELEYE
...ay, didn't I say only warrior names? FireClan cats don't count, hun D=
REDEYES
.. fireclan?
NEWPELT
Sensibility: Newkit? Newpelt doesn't fit well either... Image: No idea. Warrior-ness: Newkit would be a little funny, but otherwise it's good. Smoothness: Sounds good? How much it fits the cat: N/A
ICEFUR
Sensibility: Ice, fur, sure. It's a little boring, though. Image: White cat. Warrior-ness: It's fine. Smoothness: Sounds good. How much it fits the cat: Fits.
DEADFOOT
Sensibility: He has a dead foot. Image: No Warrior-ness: NO! It's like naming your child Little Dandruff Snowflake! Smoothness: It sounds good. How much it fits the cat: N/A

Shadey- I need your personal opinion. I want a different name for Sanctuarypaw, and I want to try and make it end with Sanctuary. Here are the names I'v come up with.
Angelsanctuary (Probably won't be this, but you never know. XD) Mothsanctuary Dawnsanctuary Dusksanctuary Midnightsanctuary Flamingsanctuary Firesanctuary Heartfeltsanctuary ... Have yet to think of more. XD

I'm working on the rest of you guys, so hang tight.
Twilight, I really don't like any of those ones, as 'Sanctuary' is a very clonky beginning AND ending.
I wouldn't be pleased with any of those becoming her warrior name, but I have to say-- stay away from names like Heartfeltsanctuary because that's like, 6 syllables and a complete pain to pronounce.
