I have been perpetually bothered by the prospect of names like these. Mostly, they've been avoided in the books. However, I believe Tadpole was one of Tigerstar's kits in the manga, and one of my Clanmates and I were recently discussing names like these for some throw-away characters in our Clan. And so I am curious to know what everyone's opinion is on these three-part, somewhat obnoxious names.

That's nearly as horrendous as Moonmoonmoon.

I wander if throughout every single cat born, one began with "star" and became leader.

Not sure, it's not unlikely.

IDK It is probably a banned prefix so that it does not happen. And if it did the cat would probably just be star or have a name change.

honestly, I don't find dragonfly- that bad as a prefix, even if it is kinda long but that's my preference and I like dragonflies
tadpole is ok too...the rest I agree, way too clunky

Primrosepaw was a cat in warriors (Mistystar's kit) and it bothers me way too much

I feel like Butterflykit isn't much of a stretch, pretty sure butterflies have been at least acknowledged in the series before, and some of the names are getting pretty long. I could also see Tadpolekit being a thing, esp. while Mothwing is still alive to keep his memory around (obviously it wouldn't be her own kit but I could see the namesake happening with a queen she's helping to kit)

I think as kit's it'd be kind of weird, but once they become apprentices and warriors it might be better? Cus I can see Tadpolekit becoming Tadpolepaw and then Tadpolefur or something.
I'm not against it, but I figure they are rarer and shouldn't be used as much. (Plus in cases like Lilypadkit, or Snowflakekit it'd probably just be Lilykit and Snowkit instead)

This doesn't specifically pertain to any of the names listed here, but I will say that some long names make a small amount of sense in context. Not many of them seem to, though.

True true. I suddenly remember I use to have a warrior cat OC named Morningcloud, which is kind of a longer name. I think the reason most people dont like the longer names though is because with Dragonfly and Lilypad, it sounds like it already is two parts of a name (and technically it is), so adding another word after it makes it weird.

Actually there was a kit in RiverClan named Dragonflykit. But he died.

Dragonflykit and Butterflykit don't sound that bad to me, but the rest seem too chunky.
