This dictionary includes every canon prefix and suffix, as well as their most common or realistic meanings on TT. Of course, these are not the only meanings they can have, as we can't possibly encompass every unique meaning behind every name, but this provides a good baseline if you need any help! A few have been altered or left out to fit TT naming conventions. Please note this is not even close to every legal prefix and suffix, just the canon ones!
★ This does not include prefixes that came from twoleg words (i.e. Bella, Cinnamon, etc.) ★ Definitions are not meant to all go together. Instead, each meaning separated by a semicolon can stand alone as a reason for a name. If more than one happen to fit, that's just a bonus!
