What to call my male kitten

I am collecting sibling 5 month old kittens this week. Both are black. I have a name for the female - Margot - but less sure for the tom. Any ideas? I do like old-fashioned human names for pets and already have a cat called Stella.

We can’t suggest anything without a photo OP.

Black cats are my absolute favourites. Congratulations.
Margot and John.

Jerry or Tom has to be if the female is Margot.

So you'll need to be of a certain age to understand this suggestion.
My two are Terry & June so if you've decided on Margot for her you really need him to be Jerry 🙂

Jerry, no other choice is possible. Tom at a push or maybe Gerald.

Lucky you @pinotnow . I know they bring you joy!

Please do share a photo or three, @MinnieMountain is correct. 🙂

ACynicalDad · 05/10/2025 06:57

I can’t get beyond Jerry either.

maddiemookins16mum · 05/10/2025 07:05

Jerry of course. Or Mungo.

You could go down the ballet path, Nureyev or Rudolf - Rudy?

As you and most cat owners probably know, whatever name you choose will mutate over time. We thought Igor was a great name for a black cat, an homage to 'Young Frankenstein'. Now everyone calls him Iggle Piggle.

Marlon! Perfect for Stella and Margot.
