Matching kitten name ideas

Pet Names
1

Hey everyone! This is my first nameberry forum post! And I am in need of some name ideas and inspiration!

[name_f][/name_f]

I’ve been taking care of stray cats that come to my home for a couple of years now, and one of the strays ended up getting pregnant and having kittens a few weeks ago

[name_f][/name_f]

I brought in the mama, plus all 4 of her kittens, and I am taking care of all 5 of them

[name_f][/name_f]

I’d love to have kittens names’ match or go together in some way. Whether that’s a matching theme or matching letter, or maybe another way they came match that I’m not thinking of

[name_f][/name_f]

We don’t know the gender of the kittens yet, so I would really appreciate at least 4 boy and 4 girl name ideas! That way they can be mixed and matched depending on what the kittens end up being!

[name_f][/name_f]

We have named the mom as well! I don’t want to disclose the name mainly for privacy reasons, but also to not possibly have it lead to more ideas centred around her name rather than a more broad spectrum of names

[name_f][/name_f]

I’m a big name enthusiast too! So I’d love to hear all the different possible name combos you guys can think of! No matter how normal or how creative and out!

[name_f][/name_f]

Thank you and lots of appreciation for any and all recommendations!! :yellow_heart::sparkles:

For pets I love the idea of naming them in ‘sets’!

I know a pair of kitten siblings named Zipper (m) and Button (f) and i love those names. So i’d probably do a clothing theme?

[name_f][/name_f]

Zipper
[name_f][/name_f]Button
[name_f][/name_f]Flannel
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Boots[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]Mitten
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Denim[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lace[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]Padding (bra or shoulder pads lol)

[name_f][/name_f]

But I also know a pair of cats that were adopted together but are not siblings, named [name_f]Dolce[/name_f] and Gabbana

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Dolce[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]Gabbana
[name_f][/name_f]Versace
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Dior[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Gucci[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]Prada
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Armani[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]Coach

[name_f][/name_f]

The oldest od my 3 dogs was one of 11 surrendered puppies (and the dad was surrendered). They were the pasta litter.

[name_f][/name_f]

Fettuccine
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Alfredo[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]Linguini
[name_f][/name_f]Spaghetti
[name_f][/name_f]Macaroni
[name_f][/name_f]Carbonara
[name_f][/name_f]Lasagna
[name_f][/name_f]Penne
[name_f][/name_f]Putanesca
[name_f][/name_f]Arrabiatta
[name_f][/name_f]Gmocci

[name_f][/name_f]

We got the last remaining puppy and i dont actually remember his pasta name.

[name_f][/name_f]

And ofc my breeder come service animal’s litter was named by the color order they were born. Of the 7 puppies, [name_m]Blue[/name_m] boy and Purple boy had the best psychological eval and scent response for prospective service animal training. I chose [name_m]Blue[/name_m] boy because he had zero fear response to the startle test. Unfortunately, purple boy peed during the testing and though he was a baby, it still drew negative points. Luckily, the puppy that i chose ended up graduating from prospect to fully trained medical alert. [name_m]Long[/name_m] story short, you could always just add some ribbon or yarn to them and name them that color.

[name_f][/name_f]

Dont forget to considder taking the kittens to a free spay neuter clinic so they dont reproduce, whether they find homes or go back to the wild. Itll be less stress on them overall.

Some great suggestions here!
[name_f][/name_f]We had a similar situation ourselves, four kittens with no idea whether they were boys or girls. I will share the names we gave them (please excuse the theme [name_f][/name_f]- all in good fun and depending on the colour of the kitten)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Hennessy[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- a pale golden brown colour
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Gin[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- a tuxedo grey and white
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Brandy[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- a tortoise shell pattern of various shades of brown
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Malibu[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- pure white

[name_f][/name_f]

We ended up finding these names so charming and they really fit their personalities.
[name_f][/name_f]In the end they were all boys aside from [name_f]Malibu[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]My[/name_f] advice is be brave, as you say you are a name enthusiast and I think pets allow room to be playful and use some out there choices.
