I never post here, I know, but ever since I learned TigerXDove was having kits (don't get me started), something rubbed me wrong about the names.
Or at least, one of the names. Maybe two. Pouncekit isn't horrible, but...
"Shadowkit": The kit that's going to live in ShadowClan. I might be wrong, but aren't "Thunder, River, Wind, and Shadow" discouraged as names? How arrogant do you have to be to name your kit Shadowkit.
"Lightkit": Obviously chosen to play off of Shadowkit. But from the description I've seen of Lightkit, isn't she a dark tabby? There's nothing in her appearance to warrant naming her Light. More of a nitpick though. Shadowkit is the real gear grinder bc it seems like the Erins are forgetting their own rules.

I hope he does, but it seems pretty unlikely.
It just feels really arrogant to me, naming your kit Shadowkit.

Well, in the narrative, it's Dovewing. Out of the narrative, gotta have the possible prophecy cat stick out!

Seriously though what horrible parent names their innocent kid after the difference between she and their father?

I do not agree with Shadowkit and Pouncekit, Lightkit is okay. Lightkit is the brown tabby she-kit. With the prefix light i would associate a cat with white, ginger or pale gray fur. The gray kit should be named Lightkit and the brown one Dawnkit, to honor Dawnpelt. Then every kit would have an equally special name. Shadow is the opposite of light, and if i understood correctly the names should highlight the opposites between Dovewing and Tigerheart. But they do not differ much, despite their love for their families they are both disloyal and selfish. Or is it just because Dovewing is from TC and Tigerheart from SC? Then Shadowkit and Thunderkit would fit better. The problem is that it is forbidden to use Thunder and Shadow as prefixes. But apparently it doesnt matter, Windflight wasnt punished for his name and lived a long life.
