Help me name my Kitty

Pet Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I am adopting two kittens in a few weeks and having trouble narrowing down my list of names, and sorry this will be lengthy. Which is partially because I only know for sure one of the kittens I am adopting. I’ve included of the little orange male that I am for sure getting (unless he bonds with his mother, in which case the individual adopting the mother gets the little orange one, confusing I know).

So what would you name the little orange one? What would you name one of his siblings (boy or girl could be either)? My family/friends have only given joke combo names ([name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and Company, Debit and Credit) so looking for some outside opinions.

Names I have considered (and continue to like):

Boy:

[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Pippin[/name_m]
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m]
[name_m]Neville[/name_m]
[name_f]Peaches[/name_f]
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m]
[name_m]Llewelyn[/name_m] “[name_m]Louie[/name_m]”

Girl:

[name_f]Minerva[/name_f] “[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
Pidge
[name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Plum[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]

Any other idea? I have a list of about 20 different names, plus some combos or names that could work for a boy or girl, so need some help narrowing down. I’ll probably keep a few until I have the kittens and get to know them, but love talking names.

I love [name_m]Llewelyn[/name_m] and Pidge. That little orange kitty looks like he should have a strong upstanding name. Your list is great!

Maybe:
[name_m]Arnold[/name_m]
[name_u]Barry[/name_u]
[name_u]Carlisle[/name_u]
[name_m]Clive[/name_m]
[name_m]Linus[/name_m]
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]

[name_f]Jillian[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Kira[/name_f]
[name_f]Liesel[/name_f]
Miette (This is [name_m]French[/name_m] for crumb)
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]

Some other suggestions:
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_m]Irving[/name_m]
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]

Thank you both! A few of the names you’ve mentioned are actually on my extended list ([name_m]Nigel[/name_m], [name_u]Pepper[/name_u], [name_f]Posey[/name_f], [name_f]Liesel[/name_f], [name_m]Linus[/name_m])

[name_m]Arnold[/name_m], [name_m]Chester[/name_m], and [name_m]Irving[/name_m] are just my style for cat names as well.

Miette is adorable as well, though not sure it will work for me now that I know I’m getting two boys (both orange).

I’m trying to decide if Pidge or [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] could work on a boy, it’s a cat so I don’t think it’ll matter too much but curious if anyone has thoughts on those?

I’m not sure about pepper but I could definitely see Pidge working

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Llewelyn[/name_m]! I also think Pidge is adorable and is great for a ginger boy.

Other names that come to mind:

[name_m]Virgil[/name_m]
[name_m]Basil[/name_m]
[name_m]Ernest[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]
[name_m]Jerome[/name_m] “[name_u]Jem[/name_u]”
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] “[name_m]Iggy[/name_m]”
[name_m]Pasco[/name_m]/[name_u]Pascoe[/name_u]
[name_m]Pascal[/name_m] “[name_u]Paz[/name_u]”
[name_m]Percival[/name_m] “[name_u]Percy[/name_u]”
[name_m]Pierre[/name_m]

I think [name_f]Peaches[/name_f] would be simply adorable for an orange cat, male or female! We personally have a white cat who goes by [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], sometimes [name_f]Cat[/name_f]-ilda, lol.

Thank you everyone for your help! I ended up going with [name_m]Llewelyn[/name_m] and [name_m]Casper[/name_m]. [name_m]Casper[/name_m] took quite a bit longer to figure out and I tested quite a few of the names that were suggested, so I really appreciate the help!

Aw, cute! [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Llewelyn[/name_m] and [name_m]Casper[/name_m] together. :slight_smile:
