Names

:See also: Cat names, how cats are named in the series.
When a kit is born, it is up to their parents, usually their mother, to give them their prefix. In a Clan, the name of a new kit is given with the suffix -kit at the end. An apprentice usually has the suffix -paw, unless otherwise noted. A warrior, however, has a different suffix entirely, sometimes having to do with their description, personality, or even a significance to another character. Rarely, a cat will change its name if their parents or they themselves do not think it suits them anymore. There have also been times when a character has earned their name based on an accomplishment, a discovery of great importance, or their actions in battle. A leader, however, takes on -star as the final part of their name, to signify their connection to StarClan and also their rank as leader. Examples for all of this can be Sunkit, Sunpaw, Sunfall, and Sunstar.

===Interesting facts===
*The most common prefix is White- at 13 known instances and the most common suffix is -tail at 78 known instances. There are also three cats that have that name: Whitetail from modern WindClan, Whitetail from The Ultimate Guide, and White Tail from ancient WindClan.
*The most common name is Robinwing with four known instances: Robinwing from ThunderClan, Robinwing from RiverClan, Robinwing from SkyClan, and Robinwing from WindClan, with there being a Robinwing from every Clan but ShadowClan.
**If kit or apprentice names are counted, then Whitepaw is the most common name with six occurrences, being shared by One-eye (formerly White-eye), Whitewing, Whiteclaw, Whitefang, Whitetail, and Whitestorm.
*Though not actually given to a character as a prefix, Glade- and Wing- are presented as valid prefixes in the books. Additionally, although they are never used, both -patch and -dash are also presented as valid suffixes within the books themselves.
===Mistakes===
*Both Waspwhisker and Milkfur have been called by a completely wrong name; Waspwhisker is listed as Hunchfoot in the allegiances for SkyClan's Destiny, and Milkfur is referred to as Troutfin in the preview of Yellowfang's Secret in Enter the Clans.Revealed in page 1 of the preview of Yellowfang's Secret in Enter the Clans
**Additionally, these are the only times that Hunch- and -fin have been used as a prefix and a suffix, respectively.
*Dappled Pelt is the cat whose name has gotten messed up the most, being referred to by wrong names on four different occasions: Dapple Pelt, Dappled Leaf, Dappled Spots, and Dappled Tail.
