Rain's Name Rater

     Again, my evaluations aren't meant to be taken as mean. I'm just being honest.

     Copperjaw 6/10 Using a one syllable suffix is a good idea for Copper. It's a harsh word to say in my opinion so reading it with other combinations really turns me away from the name. Copper can work for the metal or for the color, so it's usable if given the time and thought. The only downfall of the name is -jaw. It's a suffix I was never fond of. If I had to come up with an alternative right now, Copperleaf would suffice. It's a better alternative than Redleaf.

     Tigerlight 7/10 Without too much thought, the name is nice. But since I'm rating them, I can't just read, nod, and move on. The suffix -light was always odd for me. I feel that it still hasn't found good use, as it can follow a stereotypical pattern of a goody-good protagonist. On the other side, some names with -light seem slapped together. Tiger is a prefix I like even with it's popularity. This is my favorite out of the three presented. Alternatives would be Tigerleap, or Littlelight.

     Hazelfire 5/10 I really wanted to give it a higher rating because of Hazel-, but with the suffix of -fire really puts me off. At the same time, I've certainly seen worse names. Hazelfern could be an option if the cat has hazel eyes. (This is a name I've used.) Hazelblaze could be a better option for a fiery plant take.

     Damn.. I've been nervous to rate these.

     Browntalon 5/10 Color prefixes are a hit or miss with me. Sometimes they work out like Silverstream and other times they are bland like Graytripe. Browntalon gives the image of a plain cat without any distinct markings. I can see that maybe they would have claw marks from battles, but nothing to really make them stand out. I like talon being used, as it's a prefix or a suffix that isn't used enough. However, it's a tricky one to use because you have to walk the fine line over a good name or a stereotypical name. So, really talon is the only thing that gave it a mild rating.

     Claystripe 6/10 Clay is an interesting prefix to use. I can see this cat being based in canyons more than in a forest. Stripe is a suffix that has been thrown a lot because of the first few arcs giving us such basic names and because of that, I'm not personally a fan. I rated higher because the visual image is different because of the canyon idea. Of course, this cat could also be in a water themed Clan, but I think I would prefer canyons for this name.

     Loudsky 8/10 I'm rating this higher than the others because I didn't have to think about the reasoning and possible description. I instantly thought of a proud hunter prowling through the forest in a storm to bring back prey for their Clan or a warrior willing to face harsh weather to insure the safety of their Clanmates. Loudsky can fit multiple physical descriptions as well as terrain. I applaud the use of a funny prefix and twisting it to make a fairly nice, simple name.
