SUFFIXES
These are suffixes that have appeared in the series. Keep in mind that using a prefix as a suffix makes a name all the more unique, like Violetswan or Darkfrost, Brightstreak or Longshadow (if you want an example straight from the books, the ThunderClan elder Tallpoppy is a fine one). When writing your bio, though, it can’t hurt to include some original Warriors names with traditional suffixes in your family or history, like maybe a good ole Clovertail and Jetstorm, which makes a unique name pop nicely in contrast. Consider names that form words or phrases, too, like Laughingstream, Cherryblossom, or Firestar’s mate Sandstorm.
