So I thought about it, and the more I think about it, the more mad I get.
I asked very specifically before I joined, if this rp had a traditional naming system, like that of ailuronymy.tumblr.com, and I was lied to.
When I got into the map, I saw some very non-traditional names [not going to name any names] that legit made me shudder.
I'm sorry, and insulting anyone here is the LAST thing I want to do, but I can't be a part of a warriors rp that lets people name their characters whatever they want.
Sorry again, and I hope you guys have better luck finding a medicine cat that's less picky than me. ^^;
Fireleaf out!

Cursedpaw? Really?
First off, in traditionalism, the prefix is supposed to describe something about the cat's appearance, and is given when a kit is born. How on earth can a newborn kitten resemble the appearance of a curse? I didn't think so. Secondly, why would this kits mother call him that? Prefixes are supposed to be based on the kittens most prominent physical trait, and I do not think she would have hated him that much to ruin his life like that. Falcon is for a blue-grey tabby cat, with a white underbelly, I believe Falconpaw would be a much better name. ^^;
Creamstripe-
Regardless of Cream- being a color, I doubt cats would know that, seeing as unless some weirdo is sitting there watching a queen nurse her kittens just so he can see what color her milk is, why would they know what color "Cream" is? There's nothing wrong with the suffix here, because -fur/-pelt or -stripe are given to cats who have no outstanding skills or personality traits to set them apart from any other cats. They're just "Average" in everything they do. but Cream- shouldn't be used, no bodily fluids should ever be used to describe a kitten, that's just gross. Whitestripe would have been a better name, if you ask me.
Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm pretty certain there are more.
Again, I mean no offense to anyone, these are just my opinions.

The kis/cats can change their warrior name if they want to like crookedstar,his first name was stormkit so I guess someone can be named something else if they like really so I guess someone can be named Cursedpaw :Y in my opinion if the leader approves it or even if the cat felt like changing on a name that it describes itself better,don't cha think?

Crookedstar is a bad example to use. His original name didn't describe him at all, and Crooked- was just an act of cruelty.

Acctually it is a good example because it was a change of the name to remind him of his broken jaw like reminding his bad luck.
As so the cat can be named however it wants,to remind its bad luck or from a wound-- like Lostface/Brightheart,Clawface,Crookedstar or as you said of its actions or from its personality.If they want it can acctually.

Cream makes sense and I very much understand, but what if Cursedpaw did something such as Crookedstar had,like he had done something bad and his name was changed because of it, you may never know what his kithood name was, so really you could never actually have known how he was named Cursed either, also what if the makers of these unrealistic names as you say haven't read exclusive books or side books and only read the main books, then they might not actually understand besides for Brightheart/Lostface, they could think their choice is ok and normal, I don't see reason in leaving the rp because of a few unrealistic names,especially if you are ranked as the medicine cat. You are vital to your clan and really should stay loyal to an rp you joined. This frankly is my own opinion and you do not need to take it to heart.

I just read Cursedpaw's bio, Her name makes perfect sense, she could have changed her name while in kithood because she saw her parents be killed and slaughted, she is also cannibal so really you can't say she is in the wrong for an unrealistic name. frankly I love her back story because it stands outb I will be going to read creamstrip to see if there is any reasoning behind her name.
