Thanks for the 2 reviews!

Keep the ideas flowing, people!

"Welcome to Thunderclan!" meowed a silver warrior to a smaller ginger-and-white apprentice. "I'm Minnowleap-"

"That sounds like a Riverclan name." The apprentice said, suspicion creeping into her voice. "Are you sure you're from Thunderclan?"

"Yes, silly. What's your name?"

"Gingerpaw."

"Quite a nice name!" Minnowleap meowed. "Although I must say it must be awfully hard to hunt with your pelt!"

"No harder than a silver cat." Gingerpaw's voice was wry with dry amusement.

"Very well." Minnowleap nodded, annoyance clear in her voice. Personally, she thought that the whole "get to know another clan" idea of the leader's was stupid. Who thought it was a good idea to let the apprentices see the camps of other clans? "Not much longer now."

Soon enough, they were passing through the thorn barrier and they were inside the hollow.

"Let me point out some of our clan members to you!" Minnowleap's enthusiasm was back. "Up there on the highledge is Highstar."

"Makes sense, I guess." Gingerpaw muttered, looking up at the large white tom with black speckles. "Who's that next to him?"

"Eagleflying."

"That doesn't sound like a clan name."

"Well it is!" Minnowleap spouted, staring dreamily up at the brown tabby tom. "And then also up there is Shimmeryshine, Thunderclan's medicine cat apprentice."

"What a mouthful!" Gingerpaw murmured to herself.

"Badgerbark is away at the moonpool, he had a special meeting with Starclan!" Minnowleap boasted as she turned towards the nursery, beckoning Gingerpaw with a crooked tail. "Here's the nursery!"

Gingerpaw ducked in after her, spying three queens suckling kits. "Wow. Lot of queens."

"Perfect plot conveniences!" Minnowleap whispered, and then got back to business. "There's Rainbowarch, and Redfish and her sister Bluefish!"

Gingerpaw was speechless for a moment, almost ready to giggle at the last two names. "Where's Greenfish?" She asked jokingly.

"Probably out hunting, he's a brilliant hunter! So you know him then?" Her guide answered.

"N-"

"So these are Rainbowbark's kits: Solkit, Shinykit and Aquakit! And then there's Redfish's kits: Warriorkit and Bambookit!"

"Um..." Gingerpaw interupted, "What's a Sol? And bamboo?" Her questions were ignored as Minnowleap introduced Bluefish's kit's: Splashkit and Splishkit.

"Let's go meet the apprentices!" Minnowleap trotted out of nursery and the ginger and white apprentice had no choice but to follow her.

"This is Wingedpaw, Navypaw, Grayingpaw, Beautifulpaw, Marbledpaw and Pawpaw." The brightly colored apprentices all meowed a hello, and then went back to devouring a starling.

"Interesting names." Gingerpaw coughed, her head beginning to hurt from all of the strange names.

"What are the names of your apprentices then, in Windclan?"

"Well there's me, and then there's Whitepaw, and Madgepaw, and then we have Sandypaw and Rabbitpaw."

"Boooooring!" Minnowleap yawned. "Come on, let's go meet some warriors!"

Moral of the story: Don't give your characters ridiculous names, even if cats (somewhat) know what they are.

I've seen everything mentioned except for Grayingpaw and both Redfish/Bluefish/Greenfish in a fanfic ;)

For fun, reviewers: come up with parodic (parody-like) warrior names for those mentioned in the parodeity:

Solkit, Shinykit, Aquakit, Warriorkit, Bambookit, Splishkit, Splashkit, Wingedpaw, Navypaw, Grayingpaw, Beautifulpaw, Marbledpaw and Pawpaw

Here are mine!

Solsun (double meaning!), Shinycat (lovely), Aquafur (so realistic), Warriorfight (well that's what they do), Bamboostripes (it works, I guess), Splishsplash (had to do it), Splashfish (reversed!), Wingedfeet, Navyleap, Grayingmuzzle (old apprentice, eh?), Beautifulblaze (Lionblaze ripoff), Marbledeyes (creepy) & Pawshine (ooh! shiny paws!).

Keep those reviews coming!
