Some Unlikely, Yet Entertaining Thoughts

[Bittycat]

Imagine what would happen if all the Clans in an area had an apprentice named Snowpaw and took them to a Gathering one night. Five Snowpaws walk into a bar-

Or, even better, two Medicine Cats share a name; or even two Leaders!

My friend once proposed, "What would happen if, by some twist of fate, all the Clan Leaders shared a name? Imagine four Laurelstars sitting at the Great Rock."

So what do you think would happen in situations like that? I'm interested to hear what you guys think would happen.

oh, what a good question ! o:

i love this stuff. this happened in a Warriors roleplay i was in, a long time ago. There, we had two apprentices with the same name, but from different clans. Both Cloudpaws, one from Thunderclan, the other from Shadowclan. they simply introduced themselves as Cloudpaw of __clan. so, if there were five Snowpaws, they could - i would imagine - just introduce themselves, and then be /refereed/ to as Snowpaw of ___clan.

that's how i could see it working, anyhow.

I think for leaders they might have referred to each other as their warrior names, but that might show a sign of disrespect. Maybe they would refer to each other as "Leader of ___Clan" or something. "___star of __Clan" could also work.

Also, we know warriors from different Clans can end up having the same name. I wonder what would happen if they met? :0

I can imagine that two warriors with the same name from different clans would try to outperform the other as a way to prove that the name was more theirs than the others. With stuff like who can hunt the best, and who can fish the best, and who can sprint the fastest, etc.

Ha! I've wondered this too! There was a time on this one site when there were quite a few Blackpaws running through the clans. 
Names can be so fun! I remember when someone was saying that certain names should be avoiding like: "Skyscraper". But then I asked why that can't be allowed because the prefix and suffix could still make sense, and it could potentially happen; I mean it's not like the cats would know what else that could mean. Made me wonder about all the possibilities I could find with names, and if there were ever any "unique" names in the books.

here's a thought: what if Tiny (aka: Scourge) actully ended up joining Thunderclan when he was a kit?
or!
what if Tadpol survived and joined Riverclan with Hawk and Moth?

If Tadpole survived I'd assume Hawkfrost wouldn't have as much influence, and maybe Tadpole would become the Medicine cat instead



Tadpole's (Possible) Warrior/Medicine cat names: (If Tadpole is a valid Prefix) Tadpoleheart, Tadpoletail, Tadpolefur(What even). 
(If Tadpole isn't a valid prefix) Dusk[suffix] Night[suffix] Beetle[suffix] Shade[suffix] Nettle[suffix] (And your headcanon names here.)


I personally see him as a potential Medicine Cat. But it would be interesting to have him as a warrior who was afraid of water (Assuming instead of the house incident not happening, he'd almost drown instead) And eventually turn him into a Medicine cat.


As for Tiny. I guess he'd just join as a kit, name list would be likely as:
Nightkit, Beetlekit, Batkit, Tinykit[More canon] Crowkit, Ravenkit, Mousekit, [etc.]

Or even Whitekit as in Whitefoot.
