clan lore pt 1. NAMING SYSTEMS
okay so i’m going to do with the erins never did and kind of lay out a naming system for my clans. each clan has names that they prefer, and i’m going to go kind of in detail about each of them.
EARTHCLAN- earthclan, in terms of naming systems, probably has the most diverse one. (this is because it was my first ever clan and the cats didn’t have naming systems). but most earthclan names are generic prefixes + generic suffixes (sometimes rare). they name quite a few of their cats with the prefix flower (this is usually for the most beautiful/handsome members of the clan) and don’t stick to gender-based naming.
some earthclan examples
swiftcloud (generic prefix + generic suffix)
nightfur (very generic prefix and suffix)
lilypool (tom, medicine cat, his name will be a little different)
brindlenose, poolface, talonjaw, feathernose, clearface etc. (named after body parts)
redflower, blackflower, berryflower, fernflower (considered some of the most beautiful cats in the clan)
occasionally earthclan names will be unique (swansong, echostep, wolfstorm, archwillow, jaybush, blazerunner etc.)
usually they are generic (raintail, foxclaw, russetclaw, tigerpelt, hareheart, etc.)
MOUNTAINCLAN- mountainclan probably has the most “edgy” names. they like to name themselves fierce things to appear stronger to other clans. this is mostly consistent with the toms, and sometimes the mollies, although girls tend to have more “feminine” names. they also love -heart names.
some mountainclan examples
scarstrike, bloodpelt, talonclaw, clawfoot, striketail (generic tom scary names)
riverfang, spottedfire, shadowtail (some “scary” names for mollies)
willowdapple, sleekstep (more feminine names for mollies)
dawnheart, breezeheart, oliveheart (-heart ending names)
STONECLAN- stoneclan has the most unique naming system. typically their names are strange and very unorthodox. they live near the twolegplace, so sometimes their names are influenced by their environment. stoneclan has names we would consider “weird” or “disgusting” (by our standards at least).
some stoneclan examples
fishflake, antbelly, gorseburrow (some ‘strange’ names)
smokeweed, mountaindew (just joke names, bc why not?)
horsewing, beeclaw, marshmouse (twolegplace inspired names)
speckledawn, fallenpelt (some ‘nice’ names)
SUNCLAN- sunclan names tend to be the prettiest by our standards. they give their kits mostly nature inspired prefixes and nature inspired suffixes. there aren’t many cats in sunclan with body part names, such fur, pelt, or tail. the toms tend to have more masculine names, while the mollies have more feminine names. but for medicine cats, they tend to have more feminine names in general.
some sunclan names
oakflight, emberheart, firestrike, stagfang, hawkwind (masc names for toms)
runningcloud, risingwind, sootsky, ivywing (a little bit less masc names for toms, but not as common anymore)
cherryclaw, sorrelsky, brightstorm (less feminine names for mollies)
mapleflower, brindleflower, rivershine, icefall (fem names)
briarwind, seedstalk, rosebrook, finchflame, seedstalk (nature names)
and that’s pretty much all i have! sometimes names can be unorthodox because of me, but this is the general idea for a clan name in my originial universe!
