Rate Warrior names -- Tough

Ooh I’m gonna try!

This is practically a family tree tbh. Pikepelt’s kits are the names 4-11. Duskstone’s kits are 6-11. And Mistygorse’s kits are Havenstorm and Starlingstorm.
Just put Embertuft and littermates there because, yeah.

1. Duskstone    (While I like names with 'Dusk', when it's matched with 'stone' I find it a bit lack-luster. Dusk is a time of day/night and doesn't seem to match with stone.)
2. Pikepelt   (I think I've seen it used too much at this point. Plus 'p' and 'p' sounds just make it seem a bit meh.)
3. Mistygorse  (I like the use of Misty! And 'gorse' isn't used very often. But 'gorse' as a last part of a Warrior name should be used very hesitantly and I don't feel it worked out as well as it could have.)
4. Starlingstorm   (Imagining a storm of starlings can be both disturbing or cool. I lean toward disturbing, with an added sense that it was just a bit too odd.)
5. Havenstorm   (I liked this. It made it sound like there was a haven from the storm or a haven in the storm. As a name, it might also be very good for history, since the kit was named 'haven' but something between then and becoming a warrior added the second part of 'storm.)
6. Hawkdapple   (Meh. Dapple when referring to bird names it pretty common so I've seen it fairly often.)
7. Hedgebracken   (Slightly confused me. A hedge is a bush and bracken doesn't come in bushes. This is Warriors and 'Mistmouse' is canon. But Hedgebracken made me think too much about why in the world a cat would be named that.)
8. Flyblaze    (Anything with 'fly' makes me raise an eyebrow and then 'blaze' is either a pelt marking or a small fire. So how a warrior would be named that was ... slightly odd to think about.)
9. Mistlethorn   (Mistle doesn't get used often and the sound of the name (the 't' in Mistle' and the 't' in thorn) went well together.)
10. Thistlebreeze   (Thistle and breeze is another not seen too often! And points for actually making it a decent sounding name.)
11. Moletail   (But a small pfft, just not a large ha ha) (While funny, 'mole' is the sort of name which needs to be treated lightly. There are only a few endings which actually work well. ('whisker', to go to canon again, is good if we didn't mix him up with Mousewhisker.) Tail not so much, because the visual and what the name might mean for the cat and their personality doesn't really work.)
12. Windywing   (Windy is never used and fits well with wing.)
13. Blazefern  (Neither here nor there. It's a fern on fire, if you want literal. For a cat, they have a harsh sounding beginning and a peaceful end. The actual sound of the name is fun to say, however.)
15. Smokepelt   (I'm just found of the name Smoke. It was a bias. )
16. Embertuft ( )   (Not bad. Tuft isn't used much. However, when it is used, it's a bit tricky.)

Yeah, I really missed these too, and tbh this looks funner than most of the ones I've seen! Okay, let me shoot for it:

1. Junipersong   (I keep reading it as Jumpersong, if I'm honest. Juniper as a whole isn't used to much and song isn't often used for plants. So not a horrible name.)
2. Brackenflame   (Plant name, fire ending. If I had why a cat was named this, maybe, but as it stands not the most impressive name I can think of.)
3. Brackenberry   (Makes me think of Brambleberry. It's just meh. Nothing out of the mainstream.)
4. Berrybright  (Amusing with a 'b' 'b' sound. Rolls of the tongue.)
5. Dawnpoppy   (Very interesting mental image. Nice colors that I can think of.)
6. Flashleap   (Flash has never been used, so I was hopeful. But 'leap' made it loose a little charm.)
7. Featherfern   (Eh. Feather and fern always seem to go together or be similar enough in sound and intention to just be eh.)
8. Sunstream   (Makes me think of sunlight on a stream, so nice!)
9. Leopardstrike   ( 'strike' seems like something pretty mainstream to pair with a large cat name. It's an okay name, just nothing visual that makes think 'oh, so this cat might be interesting'.)
10. Gorseflower   (It just didn't do anything for me. Nothing inherently wrong with it. Unless you want me to nitpick at the fact that Gorse is a harsh sounding name wherever it is placed, so it's hard to make a name which matches the same coarseness.)
