Would Brightheart and Cloudtail still have been mates if Swiftpaw had survived the dog attack??? Aslo, add some Warrior names that you think Swiftpaw should have gotten

I understand at the time solely the apprentices were desperate and essentially fully grown warriors already. So I understand the haste to want to be made warriors. But the fact only Brightpaw tagged along with Swiftpaw, against all the other apprentices who didn't join. It's like the others knew better and knew it be dangerous (how could they not they were basically warriors- fully grown cats) but Brightpaw came along regardless. I can't help but think it was because she liked him or had a great bond with him at the bare minimum. And we all know cats with great bonds are likely to become mates anyway.

Swiftstrike? But maybe Bluestar would be a jerk and name him Dogear or something. Swiftpaw or Swiftstrike or Dogear or whatever would probably feel super guilty and try to avoid Brightheart/lostface and it would beeee saaaaaad

Don’t see why SwiftxBright would be a thing. There were never any indications they liked each other, and Cloudtail was pretty obvious in his affections.
I feel like his name would have been Swiftfur or something equally bland.

bright x swift in AUs is my fave thing ever. it would have been nice to see a plot where fireheart had to help his nephew accept that bright likes swift and move on.

Swiftpaw is a nothing character so it's difficult to endorse him in any ship, especially one that's as well-developed as Cloudbright.

No, I don't think so. Swiftpaw and Brightpaw(heart) had little to no interactions comparing it to her's and Cloudtail's interactions

Voted Yes for BrightCloud, because I don't see why not? Brightheart was apparently friends with Swiftpaw considering she was the only one of the apprentices to go with him (although perhaps she also just shared his desire to prove herself and finally become a warrior, who knows). There was never any indication in canon that their relationship, as two frustrated older apprentices wanting to prove themselves, was romantic in nature though. Although, that isn't to say that they couldn't have developed feelings for each other later on if Swiftpaw had survived the dog attack like she did. But that's what AUs are for, after all.
Although there is also the fact that Swiftpaw and Brightpaw are first cousins (his mother Goldenflower and her father Lionheart are littermates). So, while this likely would not have stopped the writers or stops some fans from still shipping them to this day, it's something to be considered nonetheless.
I once read a fan comic by the name of Swifthawk's Chance in which Swiftpaw survives the dog attack heavily injured. Him and Brightheart are shown to be close there, but as friends and with them even having a sibling dynamic. That's how I like to see them as well, personally.
This might just be my bias for BrightCloud talking (my canon OTP), but I'm certain that Brightheart and Cloudtail would indeed have ended up together in a scenario where Swiftpaw had survived. Because his survival doesn't automatically have to mean a SwiftBrightCloud love triangle or her becoming mates with him instead. Cloudtail and her were shown a few times to get along with each other and him padding after her in canon, so they could have also gotten together even if the dog attack never happened. But at the end of the day, it did. And so that's just speculation/even moreso AU territory at this point.
For Swiftpaw's warrior name: I would have liked Swiftstorm, Swiftrunner, Swiftstrike or Swiftleap.

Brightpaw hangs out with Cloudpaw multiple times and shows concern/a desire to have him back in camp after he gets taken to be a kittypet. She is shown grooming his fur upon his return to the clan after his kittypet escapades and Fireheart muses about how close the two are. Swiftpaw, until the dog attack, she only is seen with during normal apprenticeship stuff. Also he’s Bright’s first cousin. I personally headcanon that the reason she wanted to take the risk to become a warrior quicker was in order to be an equal in clan status with Cloudtail, this is especially important in first arc where things like eating together and sharing tongues was definitely restricted in a way which meant apprentices couldn’t do that with warriors.

There's nothing but headcanon to suggest that they would have.
