Kind of a silly one! Our new foster kitten just came home from her bilateral enucleation to heal (no eyes!) and she is the most affectionate, roly poly little cat I’ve ever met in my too many years of working in shelter medicine so we want to give her a roly poly little name. She’s a little female black and white tuxedo kitten that has short hair and now no eyes.
I think Rollo is super cute for a girl, but we have a rule of having a “proper name” for when they’re naughty and a nickname they go by (ex: we have a cat named Gibraltar nn Gigi, and a dog called Sedona nn Squid) and I can’t find anything I love with Rollo for a little girl. Open to alternate names/nickname ideas, too! We also thought about calling her Gator because she looks like she’s doing death rolls when she’s happy but she’s just toooo sweet for that one!
Some of these are stretchy, but to go with the place theme:
[name_u]Colorado[/name_u]
[name_f]Carolina[/name_f]
[name_m]Roswell[/name_m]
[name_u]Raleigh[/name_u]
[name_u]Bristol[/name_u]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u]
[name_m]Loreto[/name_m]
[name_u]Ravello[/name_u]
These are all cute, thank you so much!! We’re still struggling to make a decision and aren’t even sure if we’re going to use [name_m]Rollo[/name_m] or not yet. Here’s our current list for her:
[name_u]Florence[/name_u], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] - ‘Rollo’
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f], [name_f]Portia[/name_f], [name_u]Paris[/name_u] - ‘Possum’
[name_f]Delphi[/name_f] - the scientific name for possums is Didelphidae
[name_f]Seville[/name_f] - a type of orange & honor name for our deceased cat
[name_f]Amalthea[/name_f] - for the goat association, but we’re stilll iffy on the nn choices (Mally and [name_u]Alma[/name_u] are top as of rn)
[name_u]Carol[/name_u] would be my top pick, I love older people names on pets, and yelling caroooollllll just has a good funny ring to it.
I also love [name_f]Delphi[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], however I would go with Rolzalie, it’s so fun to me.
Close behind I would name her:
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] / [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] / Rolzalie
[name_f]Delphi[/name_f] / [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
Rollingtonia
Roleigh
Corolia
[name_f]Ronella[/name_f] / Ruella
