Guide to making a good warrior cat name.
Too many times I see the same names over and over. Redclaw. Whitetail. Bloodfang. Silverfeather.
I'd just like to say that these names are so commonly used not only here but on many other WC sites. I have come to tell you how to make a good name.
Now, when you hear the name, 'Hiddenparadise,' what do you think? Mysterious and shy, that's what. Often times a good name is something that has to do with the cat's personality.
Now, when you think of 'Redclaw', you think of a cat. With red claws. Big deal. Been there, done that. Redclaw, whitetail, whatever you please, it is an example of what I like to call a BN {bored name}.
So, BN's are probably the worst thing you can do for a character. It completely wears down to where there are so many BN's that you no longer want the name. So how about you make a good name in the first place?
Take Palatialskies, for example. Nice name, huh? Now think of Stripedpelt. This is a NO NO. Stripedpelt is another BN, which here, is something we don't want.
So, have a name you'd like to share? Post it here and I can rate it! That's all. c: |

Nice names, just Hiddenparadise and Palatialskies both contain prefixes and suffixes not used in the books. Also they are a bit long and hard to say, and frankly I don't know what palatial means. But, enough with me over criticizing, I have some names for you to rate.
Mine
Blizzardclaw
Weaselheart
Dawnlight
I'll think of more later.

I disagree, I think physical descriptive names are fine. It's just when people don't get creative enough. I.e;; You don't see a Turtlefang everyday.
The names I see you use have too iffy of a flow and are awkward to say. Hiddenparadise sounds liek something you'd name a vacation home, not a cat.
I prefer names that are much simplier but creative.
Ex;;
Mosswood
Sliceback
Goldenstream
Shadeforest
Silentsmoke
Foxslash
Stormpath
Skyfeather
Swiftpath
Mintleaf
Rainleaf
Darkcreek
Voiletblossom
Nightflower

I'm not gonna lie, I had to go look up what "palatial" meant. Hiddenparadise is way too much of a mouthful. I don't think there has been a warrior name longer than 4 syllables. (Goldenflower comes to mind)

No. I think of a nasty island in the middle of the ocean with jagged rocks and pounding waves, with a pretty fruit tree in the middle. :\

Hiddenparadise and whatever the other name was are just... they are unwarrior-like. That's the biggest problem is your examples. Some of my names are:
Silvermist
Firebelly
Frostfeather
Dawnwhisker
Darkmoon
