Naming Guide
because we're a little bit different here Now I don't want to do this because I don't want you think I'm a prude. Unfortunately I am going to do this and some of you are going to think I'm a prude, that is just the way of life. To Endure Time is a Traditional Warriors Site when it regards names, more or less. However this doesn't necessarily mean you can't use some odd or over the top names. I mean some of these cats live around two-leg stuff all the time! Its going to happen. However the part of the Traditional Naming I appreciate is how if you want a really odd name like Diamondglass, you've got to truly explain why that name works. So first I will use Diamondglass as an example and show you an acceptable version versus one that will be rejected. Now not every name will be like this, more simple names like Marshpelt or Stoneclaw are easier to explain and while I appreciate actual thought being to put into it, such simple and self explanatory names don't require it. But I digress.
ACCEPTABLE
prefix - Diamond. Her Mother named her for bright white fur that shined bright after being groomed clean, like a diamond on the trinket she received as a gift.
suffix - glass. Given to her for the simple personality she has. Impossible at keeping secrets or hiding things, she is often referred to as 'see through' or 'clear as glass'.
NOT ACCEPTABLE
prefix - Diamond. Her white fur.
suffix - glass. They cut themselves on glass.
For a complete list of rules consult this thread.
If you want further help I'd suggest using Ailuronymy or more simple Ebony Crow |

EXTRA NAME
LIST
last updated: 06/12/2013 Each Clan has come across an extra set of prefixes and suffixes that pepper their existence as commonly as Bracken, Hawk, Squirrel, Moss and many other traditional names. Most are exotic and extravagant compared to what the original clans used. They relate in some way to the world the twolegs left behind and are very Clan Specific. Unless a prefix/suffix is listed under more than one Clan, you will not find it attached to any other Clan. The only exception being a RoseClan mother/father who moved to PineClan naming her kits names RoseClan cats would have. However realize this should affect the treatment the kits receive in Clan they are in as they grow up. Typically in a negative way.
These names, however, should be used within reason and while the prefix is there, they shouldn't be used simply because you as a user want to use it. Not unless you can truly explain why, of course.
StoneClan > Industrial building materials the cats live with every day. A Kittypet by the name of Olm taught them these words.
