Okay, folks, let’s dive into this wild ride I had generating 15,000 Warrior Cat names.
It all started with a simple idea. I was thinking, “Man, there are a LOT of Warrior Cats books, and they all need names. How many could I possibly come up with?” I figured, hey, why not try to make a massive list? A really, REALLY massive list.
The Brainstorm
First, I grabbed a notebook and pen – yeah, I’m old school sometimes. I started jotting down every prefix and suffix I could think of, from the common ones like “Fire” and “Claw” to some weirder stuff like “Mist” and “Whisker”. Then I went to work, mixing and matching them and wrote down about 100 names. It was fun at first to see what kind of crazy combinations I could create.
Getting Serious (and Using My Computer)
But 100 names is nothing. To get to 15,000, I knew I needed some help. So, I fired up my computer and opened a spreadsheet. This is where things got a little more organized. I made two columns:
- Column A: Prefixes
- Column B: Suffixes
I started filling these columns with everything I could think of. Every nature word, every color, every personality trait… anything that could work as part of a Warrior Cat name. It took me a while, I will not lie to you. My fingers are like a blur.
The Combination Chaos
Now for the fun part (and the part that nearly broke my brain). I started combining prefixes and suffixes. Every prefix with every suffix. This generated names fast. My spreadsheet rows quickly from a dozen rows to hundreds of rows.
The Cleanup Crew
Of course, not every combination was a winner. Some were just plain silly, and some didn’t make any sense. So, I had to go through the list and weed out the duds. I’m trying to get a good feel for what’s cool. This took a surprisingly long time. It’s like, you think you’re done, and then you see another “Mud-Whisper” and you’re like, “Nope, gotta fix that.”
The Final Count (and a Little Bit of Exhaustion)
Finally, after all that work, I had my list. And yeah, it hit 15,000. To be honest, I’m not sure if I have 15,000 UNIQUE names. I might have some duplicates in there, but hey, I’m only human. The important thing is, I made a gigantic list of Warrior Cat names, and I’m pretty proud of that. I’ve got a file with 15,000 names. That’s quite a feat!
So, that’s the story of how I generated 15,000 Warrior Cat names. It was a bit of a crazy project, but it was also kind of fun. And now, if anyone ever needs a Warrior Cat name, I’ve got them covered… for life.
