I'm the most indecisive person and my list of potential names is getting longer not shorter!
I want a shortish easy name for a male kitten.
So far I have joey, Oscar, Sam, jasper, Leo, Archie, Alfie

I'll post a pic of him so you can see what you think suits the best, he is a tabby/stripey British shorthair cross.

Or please feel free to share any other names you think of :)

Who's your favourite male singer? Call him that.

He looks absolutely lovely :)

Lifesalemon · 22/11/2014 08:16

OMG he is beautiful. I am totally in love and so jealous. Envy
Sorry, that doesn't help with names. Out of the ones you have chosen, I think he's an Archie or an Alfie.

Whippet81 · 22/11/2014 08:25

He looks like a Boris to me.

Help1234 · 22/11/2014 08:27

Thanks, with male singers, the only ones I can think of I'm not sure they make very good cat names, Michael, Nate, Ed, Elton, Usher...

I think out of Alfie and Archie I slightly prefer Alfie
Boris reminds me of Boris Johnson Grin

Oscar I think. My cat belongs to the neighbour, but when he hangs our here I call him:

Asterix
Oscar
Catcat
Mr fish

Rabbitcar · 22/11/2014 08:49

He is obviously an Alfie. I thought that before I saw the names on your list. Cute!!

code · 22/11/2014 08:52

Derek, Geoffrey, Dave, Colin.

If you don't have kids then do not name the kitten anything you like for potential / future kids.

I have had to veto a name I love as we named our kitty this.

He is a beauty, I vote for Dave. Dave the cat is so cool.

I've always wanted to call a cat Sebastian. Our cats are girls so couldn't use it. He is a beautiful cat so Sebastian would be appropriate.

(Wonders if she can persuade DH that a third cat won't turn us into mad cat people.)

Monty (or Montague when hes naughty)

Looks like hes got an 'M' on the markings on his face.

Hes gorgeous!

Purpleknickers · 22/11/2014 09:15

Ooooo he's gorgeous and I'm jealous Envy

Alfie from your list or perhaps Milo

MairzyDoats · 22/11/2014 09:18

Elvis. Done.

canweseethebunnies · 22/11/2014 09:18

I like Jasper, but then I did have a kitten named that when I was six. He finally died when I was 24. Lovely cat he was!

Help1234 · 22/11/2014 09:20

Thanks for all the ideas, now I think I'm toying between Oscar, Alfie, Simon, Nate, Jasper... (I should point out this pic may be him or his sister, I haven't picked him up yet as he is still young but he looks similar to this pic)

Help1234 · 22/11/2014 09:22

They have said they will start using his name if I can think of one so he gets used to it :)

I really like Alfie from your list. Like Milo from others suggestions.

A guy in work named his cat Alan which I loved for a cat name.

One of my cats only answers to Cat....
