Harrybrook is named after Sol. Sol said his original name was Harry. Many people do not believe Sol's backstory. There is a big chance some of it was made up or heavily exaggerated to make Skyclan feel sorry for him. It worked so well that Leafstar named her only son after him.
But once Sol was revealed to be a traitor and got kicked out, why didn't Leafstar ever change her son's name? Why did Harrybrook, as an apprentice or warrior, ever ask to have his named be changed?
Sol kidnapped Harrybrook and his sisters when they were young, but still old enough to understand what had happened to them later. I would imagine such an experience to look back on would be traumatizing, or at the very least make Harrybrook feel sick that he is named after the cat who kidnapped him and his sisters.
Do you think Harrybrook's prefix should have been changed?

Agreed 100% with this post, something that's kind of funny, is that I was discussing this on one of my servers the other day XD I think Rainbrook could have been a nice name, after Rainfur, or Tanglebrook or Lichenbrook? Which one died in the flood?

Which one died in the flood? Rainbrook does sound better. Poor Rainfur never got anyone named after him. There's his daughter Mintfur. I always liked how Sagenose and Mintfur got the same suffixes as their parents, and the parents they were named after, because Sagenose always seemed closer to Petalnose, and Mintfur always seemed the most outspoken and eager to fight the rights for vengeance for Rainfur. I imagine if he lived, they would have been super close. I wonder though, if Mintfur was a bit upset that Sagenose got Petalnose as a mentor, and she didn't, I can understand Leafstar giving Sagenose to Petalnose though, he seemed a lot more hesitant than Mintfur in SkyClan's Destiny, but I also could be imagining or overthinking things.

I don't mind it, though I would've preferred it if Leafstar had changed his name to Shrewkit, after Shrewfoot.

Harrybrook is such a bad name XD
I lowkey wished that they changed it though. Maybe Rainbrook, after Rainfur, or maybe even Lichenbrook, after Lichenfur.

I might be shallow, but the name Harry is better sounding than Billy, so I don't have as much an issue with Harrybrook as I do for Billystorm. Side note: Rileypool and Bellaleaf are okay names too just because Bella and Riley are good names on their own.

I don't think anyone cared at that point or even remembered. I would personally be surprised if Leafstar had remembered to change his name, or even if she remembered that incident.

Yes, I meant Shrewtooth! It's a shame he just randomly disappeared. I would've loved to have seen him become leader one day.

better question is why didnt she change his name to Solkit when he revealed his true name 0.5 seconds after she named her son Harrykit? like if the goal was to name them after the cat himself than why would you use his fake kittypet name

Better a fake name only known for 2 seconds and can be easilly forgotten on that than his real name which would've reminded her of Sol for moons to come. And considering name changes are EXTREMELY rare in these books to happen, her kit would've kept that name and it would've been a permanent reminder of the cat he was named after.

This is so true. That's like naming your son after their kidnapper.

I guess he might have been old enough to respond to his name, so Leafstar didn't want to change it.
