I like the idea of an orange kitty name but I don’t want to go with a cliche. I am thinking of Gideon like from Gideon v. Wainwright. I work in the legal field.

Here is some helpful background: She is a wobbly cat. Because of her prior abusive experiences, she is just now learning to play and accept physical affection. She is also afraid of noises. I like Edith and Anya so far, but I also think something related to her blue-grey color would be cute, too! Any name ideas are welcome ◡̈

We would prefer something on the shorter side. We are undecided between a sweet name and a humorous name or reference to pop culture. She is also sweet and outgoing and started sleeping with me night one. In pictures she seems to always look serious/ grumpy. Currently playing in a paper bag…

This is my first white cat and I don’t know what to name her. She is 3 months old, solid white except a grey tail. Yellow eyes too. The first picture is the email from the shelter and the second one is today

Opal is a year and a half old dilute calico, and Koa is a 6 month old tuxedo boy. I adopted this little one three days ago the same day as her spay surgery, and I’m still getting to know her. So far I’ve discovered that she has a loud, rattle-y purrbox, she doesn’t bury her poop, and she likes to make biscuits on your toes. And she destroys featherwands while growling. She’s a hunter for sure.

We have finally decided on two name ideas for our little one:

Princess Muffin

Princess Buttercup

The black one is a girl and the orange one is a boy. We might go for Judas for our boy but the girly is still left. We really want something more original i guess

It was so fun to read everyone’s name ideas and we had so many great names to choose from! We landed on Taco Belle for our little kitty 😸🌮

A pair of feral kittens born on my deck….

Her sister is named Ruby after the Rancid song Ruby Soho. So we decided to name her Sheena after the Ramones song Sheena is a punk rocker! Thank you for all of the suggestions! 🎶 🎵 💗 P.s. She likes to play fetch with a Q-tip. 😹😻

My other cats are named Cheeto, Terry (Crews), and Myla.
Edit: her backstory is someone took her in to be euthanized because she wasn’t eating. Turns out she just needed kitten milk. They thought she was older than she actually was. Poor thing :(
Edit 2: these names are great guys! When I meet her tomorrow and get to know her a bit is when I will do the update with a name!
Edit 3: I love how much love this post is getting! About 16 hours til I meet her you guys I can’t wait!
Edit 4: she’s home! Picture in comments. She reminds me of a Junimo from stardew valley so I’m tempted to name her that and call her June. She’s literally a dust bunny I CANNOTTTT.

Girl. Personality is sweet cuddly curious. She loves to be held and carried around.

Small female kitten that's been hanging around my pale for a couple weeks. Very skittish and always ran at first but as I feed her she is beginning to tolerate people, slowly. Still nervous. Looking for a name that either is something small ("Tiny") or a food item as that's what many of mine are named on. She's been around long enough that she's basically an outdoor cat of mine at this point, and she will be fixed when old enough. Ideas?

Note: for the no stray cats rule, she started as one but like I said l, she's basically mine now. She stays around the porch or under my trailer and eats on the porch. Will maybe come inside this winter after fixed. So yeah. Mine, I guess.

My other cats are Mattress and Table, looking for something that feels similar. Some ideas so far are Hodgepodge and Lint! Any suggestions welcome :)

some background- we already have 2 cats, and just got this 8 week old kitten, she’s black but has a tiny white patch on her chest.
her siblings are Bug: grey cat, had big bug eyes as a baby and Flambo: white cat, flame point coloring, the name is taken from Adventure Time (a little flame guy side character)
We’d like to keep the theme going of names based on appearance, but we don’t want basic names everyone else calls their cats lol. A name we’re considering currently is Lilith because it’s associated with “creatures of the night” but 1. It’s hard to nickname and 2. I want something sillier

I just started fostering a cat family with 3 kittens that need names! I was thinking of some kind of spice names but i’m open to anything. And for the mom I was thinking maybe Bindi or Chai? The two in the litter box are boys and the one towards the bottom is a girl if that matters at all. Any ideas are welcome!

My dad passed away the 23rd of September, and since then life has been a little too chaotic for my mom and I as we attempt to settle back down at home. Last week these two babies showed up in our yard, and it took a while for me to win either of their trusts (our house has been the notorious dump spot for strays, ever since we moved into this place 16 years ago.), but I’ve come to discover that they are both the SWEETEST THINGS who purr so loudly. Mom and I have grown fairly attached to them, so they’re here to stay (being confirmed with no responses from lost pet groups, no chips, and my no neighbor claim.) We’re in need of ALL the name suggestions. The little orange and white cow cat is a boy, the bigger oddball fluff being a female! They are absolutely going to be spayed and neutered soon, so that issue will be fixed! ♥️

Purrnelope (Nellie) Lou Purrtato!

Thank you so much to everyone who commented. There were some really great suggestions, but we did decide to settle on Nellie for our little baby girlcat. Say hi!

We’re picking up our first family pet tomorrow and we’re stuck on finding a name for her. We’re planning to compile a list of names we like and then once she’s home gauge her personality more and pick a name for her based more on what fits her, but we’d like to have a list of names we like.

Would like a name based on: fantasy and/or mythology. We’re big into ACOTAR/Sarah J Mass Books, Fourth Wing, Lord of The Rings, Greek Mythology, Old names, Merlin, Harry Potter (our daughters middle name is delacour) or anything really Whimsical. (Also probably people names too)

So far we have Winnow as a top contender with Winnie as a nn, Opal, Minerva, Suri, Flora and Fiona.

She is a ticked tabby that’s more of a cinnamon color with striped legs, face and tail.

Thanks in advance!
