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 :)

He looks like a Paisley to me.

Although this may only work if you're an LFC fan.... my boycats' names have included Kenny and Rafa Blush

Purplepixiedust · 22/11/2014 12:08

I like Boris or Jethro.

Of the ones on your shortlist I would pick Jasper.

He is gorgeous!

Riverland · 22/11/2014 12:10

Jasper!

Definitely! Then you can call him Jazz, jazzy, jazzcat, and sing 'everybody wants to be a cat, cos a cat really knows, where's it aaat"

Purplepixiedust · 22/11/2014 12:10

You just need something you won't be embarrassed to shout if he doesn't cone in for his tea or when they announce him at the vets :)

RosemaryVonHerb · 22/11/2014 12:16

I'm with Worra. Definitely Norman. Best cat name ever.

Help1234 · 22/11/2014 12:18

Wow thanks so many good suggestions! I really like teddy too and rafa would work as although not a lfc fan, I do love rafa nadal :)

Now it's rafa, jasper, teddy, Alfie, oscar...I'm not really narrowing it down, maybe he should just have 5 names ha ha

Fenchurch, Mr Biscuits, Derek, Giles, Craig, Jarad, Conan, Seamus.
Nigel is my favourite suggestion so far, well, I love Trevor too.

Notmeagain1 · 22/11/2014 16:21

Gizmo, Gizz or Gizzy for short
Or spell out cat...cee-a-tee,
Thats my next cats name!
But love Jasper too. Good luck choosing!

Hugo

Bob. I wanted to call our (female, black and white) cat Bob, but was outvoted. She's called Jess because she's black and white and DH is a postman!!!

Pipbin · 22/11/2014 17:13

I've always wanted to call a cat Sebastian. Our cats are girls so couldn't use it.
I had a female cat called Eric.

In fact, Eric is a good name. Or Clint.

MummyBeerest · 23/11/2014 02:09
