So now that Bramblestar is an elder and no longer leader, do you call him Brambleclaw or still Bramblestar? I noticed while reading Wind that the narration switches between the two a few times, probably by mistake, so I was curious what people here call him now.

I mainly use Bramble, but I gravitate towards Brambleclaw since I naturally gravitate towards that name more. I feel Bramble shines in his younger years in his quest to come to terms with ThunderClan and his kin, as well as as an elder. His leadership mainly had him going with the flow of the plot or getting possessed, which aren't exactly his finest moments. The name "Bramblestar" also brings ire from the mainstream portions of the fandom, so there's that to consider.

He's always Brambleclaw for me. His leadership tenure was very unimpressive and I don't respect him as such.

I'm switching back to Brambleclaw personally but I'm very used to calling him Bramblestar so I might slip up a little  I usually err on the side of using the names the books are currently using, unless there's a situation that demands clarification like the two Tigerstars |

Bramblestar, feels weird to switch him back. I'll still call him Bramblestar, just like how I still call Rowanstar his name too. Regardless of how people feel about his leadership feats, I think he's done decently well, but it seems he rarely ever gets recognized for that anyways. He's kept his clan together for so many years, I think he at least deserves that much respect.

Gonna revert to calling him Brambleclaw again. It'll take some getting used to.

Bramblestar. He's just been Bramblestar too long for me to call him anything else (although when he first became Bramblestar, I struggled calling him Bramblestar and kept calling him Brambleclaw). As much as I like Squirrelflight, I won't ever be calling her Squirrelstar because this editing team's books genuinely seem like an AU and not canon to me, and she's been Squirrelflight way too long, probably longer than Brambleclaw at this point, for me to ever call her anything else.

Bramble for simplicity's sake, but I can call him either way. I prefer Bramblestar though. He's earned that title in my eyes. In the same vain that I prefer calling her Squirrelflight because I think she's lying about those lives.

Brambleclaw. The name change is sort of, to me, a symbol of how trauma and mental illness can manifest itself, and it’s a sign of rest and healing. He never felt like much of a leader to me and more of a pushover, never assertive enough and always fearful, which is a result of his trauma I bet. He kept his clan together but often caved to what other cats wanted, with allowing Violetkit to be taken and separated from her sister to be the most egregious, and allowing SkyClan to be kicked out again, no matter how short of a time it took for a solution to be found. I always felt he was never ready to be deputy, and Brackenfur and Sandstorm were robbed. I tend to dislike it when deputies are given apprentices just so they can become deputy (Blackstar and Harestar). He just never felt like a leader to me, and additionally I think the name change and stepping down is a good message that sometimes we have to prioritize our own health for our own good. I like Brambleclaw, and this change is what is best for him.

Well, that was a rather short-lived poll (I'm late to the party despite it only being made yesterday lol).
But anyways, I've got no problem switching back to Brambleclaw or I'll just call him Bramble/Brambles instead if I feel like doing so <3

Bramblestar. I've never liked the name Brambleclaw, I always thought it was kinda rude of Firestar to give him the claw prefix like his father, when he's spent his whole childhood trying to distance himself from him

Since he's Brambleclaw in canon again, he's Brambleclaw to me.
Gosh, it's so strange to call him Brambleclaw again. He's been Bramblestar for so long.
