       Guide to Traditional Names!

       Ever wanted to go back to traditional names? Well I have a short
       guide for you to use to help figure it out.
       Starters: What does your character look like? What do cats in
       general know? Like bramble, finch, kestrel, magpie, aspen, so on
       and so forth. How do they act? Once you know this, you can
       continue on to the next step.
       Prefix: Given to them by their mother, you now have to take in
       what their mother was like. Was she boring? Uncreative? Or was
       she creative? Did she have grander imagination?
       Uncreative: if the mother is boring and uncreative, then the
       kits will most likely be named off their pelts since their eyes
       are not open at birth and when they do- their eyes will be blue
       until they grow into their apprenticeship and such. So take a
       gray cat, Graykit. A blue cat (also known as gray), Bluekit.
       Maybe they had a long limb? Longkit. If they are a calico, maybe
       something like Dapplekit. White fur could be Snowkit or Milkkit.
       Creative: The more creative mothers may base them off other
       things. Was their last piece of pray a rabbit? Maybe they will
       name their kit Rabbitkit. Did they have a dark dream last night
       that their dark pelted kit reminds them of? Darkkit.
       Suffix: Normally based on a cats skill or personality- sometimes
       an attribute, so for example. Flight would be given to an agile
       cat, throat would be given to a persuasive cat and so on. These
       are normally easy to death with.
       Semi-Traditional: Names like Bumble for a prefix, Blaze for a
       suffix- to name a few- are not full fledged traditional. But
       they are not so far fetched like Phonecase. So these will be
       semi-traditional.
       Conclusion: You picked Bramble for a brown tabby and throat
       because they are persuasive. Congradulations, you just got
       yourself a warrior name for a cat. Bramblethroat.
