These two little beauties were born on the first day of lockdown, and they are coming to live with me in 2 and a half weeks. Both girls. AIBU to go against my children's wishes and not name them Unspeakable and Princess, and attempt to come up with alternative, lockdown related names for them? Please give me your suggestions!

Not sure about names, but they are absolutely gorgeous 😻😻

Ohtherewearethen · 29/04/2020 22:08

Tiger and King?

LouiseTrees · 29/04/2020 22:09

I think Unspeakable and Princess are lockdown related names!

Dilbertian · 29/04/2020 22:09

Perhaps you could call one of them Zoom?

Ohtherewearethen · 29/04/2020 22:09

Oh my goodness, you said right there in your OP that are both girls. I missed it. Ignore me, sorry!

garbagegirl · 29/04/2020 22:11

Unspeakable?!?! wow.

You have to call one Potato .
My dd is going through a phase right now and every pet in the future she will name Potato ,apparently 🤷🏼‍♀️

Tiger and king! That amazing.

Thewomeninthemirror · 29/04/2020 22:59

I wish I could have cats again just to use that.
Sadly dd is allergic

shiningstar2 · 29/04/2020 23:13

I like cora and rona. Very apt. Please don't call one of them unspeakable. What a moniker to live with. Inevitably everyone will start believing that the one called unspeakable is always the naughty one in a fight ext.

IAmReportingYouForBBQing · 29/04/2020 23:15

Charmin ( loo roll) and flower ( flour)

Fluffybutter · 29/04/2020 23:18

I don’t agree with naming them after a killer virus , bit sick .
You don’t know anyone with cats called SARS and Ebola .
How about Tom (as in the elderly gent) and Sunny as we had fab weather

CardsforKittens · 29/04/2020 23:33

I think Unspeakable and Princess are excellent names! But my cats have even more ridiculous names so you probably shouldn’t listen to me.

PorpentiaScamander · 29/04/2020 23:37

I was going to suggest Covid and Corona but Worra beat me to it.

CSIblonde · 29/04/2020 23:45

Aww, don't give them virus names, they're too cute for that. Unspeakable has a negative slant too. Luna, Millie, Mia, Minx, Sassy, Missie, Bella, Lily, Lola, Gigi, Phoebe.
