I’ve just acquired a little grey tuxedo cat who looks a lot like this (thanks, google images). I’m pretty set on Vesper for her first name, as the meaning of “evening star” feels fitting for a grey lady with golden eyes! But now she needs a MN.
I’m Jewish and she came to me right before Rosh Hashanah, so I would love a name that fits that theme. Apples, honey, and pomegranates are associated with the holiday, and it is the new year so anything about newness or new beginnings could work. I’ve thought of Vesper Pomeline and Vesper Eulalia (which is a subtle nod to Elul, the Hebrew month that precedes the holiday).
I’m also considering Lux, which is Latin for “light,” so Vesper Lux would mean “light of the evening star”. It’s a bit on the nose, but I don’t mind going cheesy for pet names!
What do you think of my options? Please throw other ideas my way!
I love [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] and [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_u]Lux[/name_u]!
Other suggestions…
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u] Amela (this is a weird personal association but Amela always makes me think of apples and honey, because mela is apple in Italian and the similar miel is honey is Spanish)
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_f]Alba[/name_f] (‘dawn’ = new beginning)
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f] (new beginning)
[name_m]Ah[/name_m]! I’ve never “met” a real [name_u]Vesper[/name_u]! I love your name and I love your name style too, [name_u]Julien[/name_u] [name_m]Alphonse[/name_m] just might be a perfect combo!
Ooo I love your thinking behind Amela! How do you pronounce it? I could see it being like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], or “ah-MAY-la” like “mela” would be said in Italian.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] makes me think of the song [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] [name_u]Mercury[/name_u] wrote for his cat, which is very fitting! Great ideas, thank you so much!
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] and [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_u]Lux[/name_u] are beautiful!!
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_f]Renee[/name_f], [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_f]Melina[/name_f], [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_f]Pamela[/name_f], and [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] came to mind!
Ohhh my goodness, I didn’t put the “mel” piece together! As much as I love the sound of [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_u]Lux[/name_u], this might be the perfect choice.
I would suggest [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] [name_u]Roy[/name_u] if she was a boy but… Duh!
I love all the suggestions so far! congrats on your sweet fur baby
and I love your name style too, [name_u]Julien[/name_u] [name_m]Alphonse[/name_m] just might be a perfect combo!
