Silly question I know but I seem to have jellybrain and can't come up with anything - we are getting a female cat (balance out the gender thing in our house back to even stevens!! I have a DH and DS!!) and I want a name I won't get fed up with in five minutes. any ideas?

Belladonna? That actually works best for two kittens, I had two called Bella and Donna... depends on the colour really you could have Mist or Shadow.... Slinky Malinki? Although that's a sort of boyish name, Isis or something godessy... I had Polly and Flinders out of a nursery rhyme too 'little Polly Flinders sitting in the cinders' very appropriate!

I had rabbits called snowdrop, forgetmenot, ebony, ocha and snowflake....

erm... oh I could go on all night!

We have Annie & Alfie

Name it after your favourite wine or drink (if it works)

like Sauvi, if your a sauvignon blanc girl or pino if u like pinot grigio (the two bottles i have made / making my way through tonight!) Bacardi / Bailey / Buddy i don't know maybe food although Pasta / pizza / pie don't seem to work so well

My mates kitten is called Tealy, which I think is lovely. Or Tootsie.

Sparklemagic · 17/02/2006 22:17

kanga, don't know what it will look like, it's just that we have taken the decision to get one soon - but it'll just be a bog standard make, no pedigree for us!

Love Slinky Malinki, fastasleep, one of DS favourite books! Just thought something more girly, perhaps....like nature-y sort of names like pumpkin..but not that exactly.....

Our cats are called Lilly and Yum Yum. Usually get called Lil and Yummy though. They also have daft pedigree names that their breeder chose.

starshaker · 17/02/2006 22:26

i had a tabby and called her storm mainly cos she created distruction wherever she went lol

BettySpaghetti · 17/02/2006 22:28

Dodgem

(-because they run around with their tail stuck straight up in the air like the poles at the back of a dodgem car.)
