Brambleclaw or Bramblestar?

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.

'claw

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

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

Bramble for simplicity's sake, but I can call him either way.

I prefer Bramblestar though. He's earned that title in my eyes.

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.

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

It's alright, that happens, no worries. The option I would've voted for won anyway lol.

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.
