TRT NAMING GUIDE
TRT is a realistic, traditional warrior cats roleplay, we expect characters
to be named realistically, and to follow guidelines set on this thread.
PREFIXES: prefixes are the first parts of their names they are given at birth and, unless they experience a name change, will keep for the rest of their years. the prefix is typically a reference to their pelt colour, size, naturally occurring happenings while the birth is taking place (i.e, storms, floods, etc). it is NOT realistic for a cat to be named after certain traits or favoured hobbies.
SUFFIXES: suffixes are given when a cat reaches the maturity of a warrior or a medicine cat. they can be reflective of their skills, traits, placement of colour or pattern on their coat, or take a name after a family member or close friend.
