TRADITIONAL WARRIOR CATS NAME GUIDE
The prefix is given to the kitten at birth - perhaps not straightaway, but shortly after. At that age, there is very little difference between kittens - pretty much they’re all stumpy, round, squeaking fuzzballs. About the only way to tell them apart - with the exception of extreme sizes, such as an undersized runt or an enormously chubby kitten - is by their fur colour. For this reason, it makes sense for the prefix to represent the pelt of the cat, and that appears to be how Erin Hunter has structured Warriors (for the most part). To name a few canon characters - Tigerclaw (big dark brown tabby), Dappletail (once-pretty tortoiseshell), Nightpelt (black), Goldenflower (pale ginger) - there is a notable trend among them. Whether a reference to a time of day, animal, pelt type, colour or other, the prefix is directly linked to the pelt of the cat - by colour or pattern. Littlecloud is an exception to this trend, but as he is described as being “very small”, there is no reason to suggest that the prefix is unsubstantiated. This is probably the most obvious “rule” of Warriors.
