Name Rules-If the last letter of the prefix and first letter of the suffix are the same, then put a hyphen between them. (For example: Mist-tail, Beech-heart.) -Remember that cats don’t know everything you do. Here are some things that are unacceptable in names –
- Man-made things.
- Metals and precious gems, or salt or coal.
- Astronomical stuff, like comets (which would be called 'falling warriors' or whatnot), or 'sun', 'star', and 'moon', which are sacred.
- Human folklore (Dragons, Nymphs).
- Spirit, Soul, etc.
- Obscure words that require a thesaurus.
- Animals from the tropics, desert, ocean, Arctic, etc. The cats aren't set in a specific place, but whatever animal they're named for should be in an area with a climate like our setting.
- Death, Fallen, Haunted, Frozen, etc.
- Clan prefixes.
- Names that originate from eye color. Kits' eyes are closed at first, and then blue for a long time. And the mother won't be calling her offspring 'hey kit' for a month or so. So names should come from appearance, whether it's color, size, or resemblance to something.
- If another living cat in the Clan has a certain prefix in their name, your cat can not have the same one (discounting NPCs).
If you don't know much about Warriors names, the below guides should help you; I can't say things any better than they do. Below is a rather in-depth guide ~ marine-snow.deviantart.com/art/Warriors-Naming-Guide-84598008 Another guide, more traditional ~ www.neopets.com/neopets.com/~warriornames Also, this site should help ~ warriorsguide.proboards.com/index.cgi
