Help! Need a cat name!

I've unexpectedly acquired a kitten that is arriving tonight. She has no name and I suddenly cannot think of a single cat name that I like! She's white with tabby markings, and we already have Ronnie and Coco.

DP wants Ripley or Jonesy, we're quite into films but I can't think of any film character names I like for a cat. Only ones I think I like at the moment are old fashioned lady names like Dorothy or Betty.

Any suggestions before she gets here?

I have a tabby/white. Other names I considered for her were Cherry and Willow.

We have Guinevere aka Gwinny.

Names that didn't quite make the cut for her were Leia, Buffy, Fergie, Morgan, Bibi. Also had an Octavia years ago, as she'd lost one of her nine lives courtesy of the abusive arsehole previous owner from whom she was confiscated ahead of prosecution. She was such a loving, chatty little thing, too.
