Can we take a minute to talk about name's in Bluestar's prophecy.? I'm only partway through..But..?
Why would they give Bluestar and her sister the same suffix?
Bluefur and Snowfur.?
Not to mention.. Speckletail, Stormtail, Dappletail and Rosetail.
Stonepelt, Sparrowpelt, Thrushpelt, Fuzzypelt
Just in Thunderclan alone. It's like they ran out of ideas at the moment and just started giving everyone the same Suffix.

I think Snowfur and Bluefur getting the same suffix was pretty cool and might've even been intentional. But those other ones... Now that you mention it, they didn't have a whole lot of diversity when it came to suffixes. At least they had Sunfall, Tawnyspots, and Windflight.

I always assumed it's a sibling tradition.. I like how they both share the same name.

Leafstar also began doing something similar. Needlepaw was apprenticed to Reedclaw, name her Needleclaw. Rootpaw was apprenticed to Dewspring, name him Rootspring (I know it was a poll but the competition was so bad it had to be rigged).
Another BP name which is not in the same issue brought up in the OP is Leopardfoot. The writers have a Leopardfur who's going to be born in like two years from then and then they make one Tigerstar's mother and at the same year (2009) they say the other loved him? I said it once and I'll say it again. Leopardfoot/fur is the kit of Mudfur and Adderfang. They decide to have a custody battle 1v1 in Sunningrocks. Winner gets Leopardstar, loser gets her cursed son Tigerkit. We know what happens next. Leopardstar never loved Tigerstar as a mate, she loved him as a son.

I actually never noticed this.
But I do remember struggling to memorize the background characters in BP - a lot of them were just merged together as one unimportant character for me.
So now that I think about it - these similar names must be the reason why I did that.

I suppose it was to make them closer as siblings. But the naming was really unoriginal.

Well, why not? I don't think it's a case of running out of names but probably having their names be similar because they're siblings. Plus it was old Thunderclan where the names weren't really all that crazy back then pre-Firestar era (Excluding Novellas which have stuff like fricking Daisytoe like what).

Bluefur and Snowfur are such lame names. Their prefixes are really good but -fur is so bland 99% of the time. Come on Sunstar. I know Bluestar said that Bluefur was her name in TPB, but they couldn't even use -claw or -tail for Snowfur? -_-

It could have been worse, imagine if Snowfur's prefix was White

It could have been worse, imagine if Snowfur's prefix was White Nah, that was needed for Whitestorm.

There's a lot of things that could be used for snow, Snowstorm, Snowfall, etc. Out of the clan cats, there's Snowtuft, Snowfur, Snowbush, and Snowbird. I just realized how cute of a name Snowbush is.

I thought it was cool that Bluefur and Snowfur shared a suffix.
There's not really much of an issue with the names in Bluestar's Prophecy.
