Help with kitten names!
-
Our cats were all named after Russian monarchs and our dogs after Shakespeare characters…
Then we got a cat I insisted on naming Jane Pawsten.

Popes!
Admittedly this will mean you have twenty-something cats named John…
Cats named Innocent? Talk about a misnomer.

I love you all!!
-
@junipersky There must always be one cat in a litter named ‘Bandit’ cuz cats are jerks and why not name one a jerk officially?

Jazz musicians
Children’s lit charactersSo we have TEN kitties that need names.
2 gray with cream tabby marking mamas (sisters, basically twins)
1 black (tiny white dot on chest) teenage girl
1 back tiny baby boy
1 black and cream tiny tabby baby boy
5 various shades of tiny full gray/gray tabby (4 boys, 1 girl)There are lots of good ideas in this thread but I can’t come up with 10 full names!
Another possibility is giving mamas a theme name, then the teenager, and then the 4-week-old babies
Also we could theme mama and her 7 babies, then another for her sister and her teenage baby.

Articles of clothing
Spices in your kitchenI came here to suggest articles of clothing, but the more – I’m not sure what the term is – non-American? – names of clothing: kimono, tunic, kaftan, beret, sombrero, and so on.

@dvoraen +1. But since these are felines with deadly claws, perhaps ‘exotic’ types of weaponry as well! Katana, madu, zhua, kukri, sibat, etc.
-
@Arkandel You can never go wrong naming a feisty kitten Wakizashi.

I think the funniest (And nerdiest too, but I do live in a tech/software dev heavy area) naming theme I’ve seen thus far is coding languages. There’s a metric fuckton of those. Possibly people wouldn’t get it but they might be tickled if they do.
Python, Ruby, Cobol, Java, Pascal, Perl, Rexx, Erlang, Haskell, Opal, Q, Ada, Cee, Cleo, Fortran, Turing, Basic, so many more. I think it would be hilarious.
-
Characters from The Chronicles of Narnia? Peter, Susan, Edmund, Lucy, Mr. Tumnus, Caspian, Eustace, Shasta, Polly, Digory, etc. But clearly the best would be Reepicheep, because why not a kitten named after a talking mouse?
Characters from the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings seem pretty accessible too.
-
I have forwarded ALL of these to the review committee (aka my husband.)
I’m also starting to suspect that the nursing mama might be the only mama, including the mother of the other adult and the teenager. Just one extended family.

Poop. I loved all of these name ideas but husband shot them down.
HE wants Avalanche players names, but over my dead body will we name a kitten Landskog (or however it is spelled!!).
We compromised and went with wildflowers. Mostly Colorado, but I went outside for one.
Mama: Cleome
Not-Mama: Sweet Pea
Teenager: Mountain Rose
Babies:
M- Clover (big eye all gray)
M- Flax (Gray all)
M- Aster (black and cream tabby)
M- Mallow (all black)
M- Peony (gray tabby)
M- Bluebell (BIG gray tabby)
F- Columbine (gray tabby) -

Umm. First thing I thought of was the shooting. Just a thought.
-
It is, but it is also our state flower.
So when I said we had one little girl and our theme was Colorado flowers the reaction I got was, “Her name is Columbine right?”
-
@junipersky I think I need to have a talk with your husband about why the exotic clothing names were a no-go.

Cheeses
This is how I name my argentavis(es) in every single Ark run ever.
Edit to be actually helpful:
Band names, or rockstar names (the dog we just adopted is Zappa!)
Alcohol names! (Each litter could be brands of a specific alcohol.) -

This little girl
Joined our little foster family. After her two week quarantine (recovering from a nasty upper respiratory infection) she will join our current kittens at the same time their mommy moves with her husband to another room to dry out for spay.
But we don’t know what to name her! It would be nice if it fit with the other kittens she will join. They started as Pyre, Phoenix, and Hestia, but we got pushback for pyre being morbid and had to change them. So now they are bear themed:
Kodiak
Baloo
Ursa
Please help suggest bear adjacent names for our little gray girl. We are stumped!
