50 warrior cat names to take for your own clan
None of these came out of the tool. Warriors first, then leaders, then apprentices, each with a note on the kind of cat it fits.
-
Small and quick at the front, airborne at the back. It reads as a young warrior who is faster than the rest of the patrol and has worked that out already.
-
Two hard t sounds that snap shut. A warrior cat name for a fighter the rest of the clan discusses quietly rather than to his face.
-
Tree in front, cold behind. Suits a cat who walks the border through the worst moons of the year and says almost nothing about it.
-
Warm colour, warm ending, no hard edge anywhere in it. It fits a medicine cat or a nursing queen better than a fighter.
-
Heavy first half, quiet second half. The name of a big cat who moves less than you expect and misses nothing that happens in camp.
-
A thorny prefix undercut by a slightly comic ending. Good for a warrior who is genuinely dangerous and completely scruffy about it.
-
A prickly word closed off by a singing one. It suits a cat with a sharp tongue who is still the one asked to speak at a gathering.
-
Ash and impact. The hardest sounding name on this list, and the right one for a warrior who finishes fights in the first few heartbeats.
-
Two soft plant words in a row, which is unusual on purpose. It marks out a gentle cat in a clan that mostly names for weather and claws.
-
A metal colour against a springing verb. Reads as a red-brown tom who is first across the stream on every dawn patrol.
-
One blunt syllable followed by a plain one. A mountain-bred warrior cat name for a cat with no interest in sounding graceful.
-
Bird at the front, weapon at the back. It builds a threat into a black cat without tipping the whole name into villainy.
-
The contrast does the work: soft light against a sharp point. Good for a warrior who turns out to be friendlier than her name promised.
-
Two grey words that fade into each other. It suits a cat who is hard to pick out at the edge of the clearing and prefers it that way.
-
Heat on the way out rather than on the way up. A good name for an older fighter who is still on the patrol list and intends to stay there.
-
Both halves point upward. It belongs to a lookout, a tree climber or whoever gets sent up the rise to watch the moor.
-
Light on the tongue and light on the ground. Reads as a small dappled she-cat who outruns toms twice her weight.
-
Plain, descriptive and easy to shout across a clearing. This is what a clan calls a cat when the pelt has already done the describing.
-
A prey word bolted to a hunting word, which is almost certainly a joke the clan made on purpose. It suits a fast, faintly ridiculous tom.
-
A predator softened by a quiet ending. The name of a warrior who is standing behind you before anybody hears him arrive.
-
A long-legged bird against a short hard ending. It fits a lean fisher from a river clan who fights better than he looks.
-
A climbing plant and a marked coat. Good for a cat with a patchy pelt and a habit of turning up where she was not sent.
-
Four syllables, which is long for a clan name, so this is the sort that gets used in full only at ceremonies and arguments.
-
A songbird meets bad weather. The tension between the halves is what makes it stick, and it suits a small cat with a large temper.
-
Two water words, both of them small. A river clan warrior cat name for a cat who has never once been quiet in the shallows.
-
A sting and a piece of greenery. It reads more like a medicine cat than a fighter, which is exactly the kind of cat to give it to.
-
A sleek animal and the plainest coat word there is. Reads as a swimmer, and it is short enough to shout from a bank.
-
Two still-water words with no hard consonant between them. The name of a calm cat who does the thinking while others do the yowling.
-
A herb at the front and the commonest ending at the back. Ordinary by design: it belongs to a cat who wants no attention at all.
-
A colour plus a marking, which is how most clans name a cat with one obvious white blaze. Practical rather than poetic.
-
Grey stone against a grey coat word. Flat, cold and honest, and it fits a warrior with a long memory for old slights.
-
The only name here where both halves mean roughly the same thing, and it survives because nothing crosses a moor faster than a swallow.
-
A rare prefix for a clan cat, since foxes are the enemy. Handed out as a warning, then kept by its owner as a boast.
-
Two riverbank words that run together with no seam you can hear. Good for a graceful cat with a long stride and a longer silence.
-
A leader named for the tree that shakes in the smallest wind, which is a quiet joke about a cat who is never still for a heartbeat.
-
Two syllables, no ceremony, easy to chant. Short leader names carry across a hollow far better than grand ones do.
-
The heaviest leader name on the list. It suits a cat who took the position late in life and means to hold it for the rest of it.
-
A hunting animal wearing the highest rank. The hard t in the middle keeps it from going soft the way most star names do.
-
High ground in the prefix, which is where a leader is supposed to be standing. Works for a moor clan or a clan up in the rocks.
-
Grey, drifting and impossible to pin down. A leader name for a cat who governs by never telling anyone the whole plan at once.
-
The most ordinary bird on the list carrying the highest rank, which tells you the clan chose her rather than the other way round.
-
Sharp and faintly scandalous for a leader. It fits a cat who fought for the position and has never pretended otherwise.
-
A healing herb under the leader ending, so it reads as a cat who trained in the medicine den before anything else happened to her.
-
Round, soft and young sounding, which is the entire point of an apprentice name. It grows into Cloverpetal without a bump.
-
Blunt for a young cat, and that is the joke. He was named for the rocks and will be Cragfoot inside a year of training.
-
One hard syllable and one soft one. It suits a black apprentice who is much louder in camp than he ever is on a patrol.
-
Flat, grey and quick to say, which matters for a name a mentor is going to shout twenty times before sunhigh.
-
The s and the p make it snap. A good apprentice name for a tall, clumsy young cat who has not grown into his legs yet.
-
A large prefix sitting on the smallest rank, which reads as ambition. Clans hand these to apprentices with something to prove.
-
Green, twisting and quiet. It fits an apprentice who is better at climbing and gathering than at anything in the training hollow.
How are warrior cat names put together?
A clan name is two halves written as one word. The first half is a nature word: a plant, a colour, a stone, a weather word or an animal. The second half is a body part, an action or a piece of the landscape. Apprentices end in paw, leaders end in star.
Clan cat names look simple until you have to invent forty of them for a roleplay group, a fan clan or a story. The shape never changes: one nature word joined to one body or landscape word, no space, no hyphen. What does change is whether the pair sounds like a cat somebody would follow into a border skirmish or like a bad rhyme.
The join is where names go wrong
Most weak clan names fail at the seam. A prefix that ends on the same letter the suffix starts with leaves a doubled letter nobody can say out loud, and two body parts stacked together names a cat twice for the same thing. The word lists behind this generator are built so neither is possible: every prefix ends on a letter that no suffix begins with, and no word sits in both lists.
Names change with rank
A young cat carries paw at the end until the naming ceremony, when that half is swapped for the warrior ending kept for life. A leader drops the warrior half completely and takes star instead. If you are building a whole clan rather than one character, generate a batch and read it as a census: the leader, then the warriors, then the apprentices who will inherit those endings in a year.
Most of the names arrive with a clan attached. Those clans are invented for this page, so none of them clash with the group you already play in, and you are free to keep the half you like and throw the other one away.
