Names like Jemima

[Glitterbiscuits]

I want to stress that I am naming a kitten.
I really hope this doesn't offend fans of this board.

I love the name Jemima! I wish I'd used it on my own DD. I can't use it for a kitten now as we now have family members called Gemma.

What other names can you suggest?

Tabitha
Genevieve
Myla
Georgina
Felicity

Why can't you use it? I genuinely don't see the problem.

Heidi
Matilda
Tabitha
Mabel
Phoebe
Eliza
Primrose
Jasmine

It's a cat; you can call it any name you like.
I've known several dogs with my name and I haven't been offended.
Anyway, Gemma stresses the 'e' sound and Jemima the 'I' sound, so fairly different.

Because one of the Gemmas has Jemima as a bit of a nickname

I like Tabitha but the cat isn't tabby.
I really like Matilda!!!

My family has definitely named kittens after family members(although they’d passed away so it was different).

Lavinia
Dorothea
Daphne
Ursula
Margaret/Margot
Lucinda
Agatha
Roberta
Mildred
Phyllis
Lilian

Harriet
Hermione (bit taken over by Harry Potter)
Persephone
Gertrude
Winifred
Virginia
Seraphina (love this)
Evangeline

Jana
Joanna
Freya
Luna
Lana
Alana
Dana
Zara
Carla
Juliet
Mara
Eliza
Sacsha
Cora
Una
Ada
Nina
Gina
Anna
Tina
Sylvia

Martha, Matilda...

Some great names. Some are family names ( Winifred, Mildred) sone have been used for cats already Lavinia would have been great but we know a cat called that

I really like Daphne. Great suggestion
Matilda is my front runner

We had a Matilda cat, though we called her Tilly for short. Lovely cat name.

(also inspired by the comedy Hilaire Belloc “cautionary tale” Matilda, about a child who told dreadful lies - our cat would always declare she hadn’t been fed, deny she’d licked up the food from the counter, pretend it wasn’t her who’d cuffed her brother etc so it seemed quite fitting!)

Girl cats I have had over the years ( mostly had boy cats TBH)

Stacey (pure black and lived until 24!)
Huggie
Maybelline
Noelene
Paisley
Marmalade

@Glitterbiscuits , you need to pay the kitten tax.

Inspired by another thread, Guinevere (Winnie for short).

Whoopi after Whoopi Goldberg is nice

I will post a picture as soon as she comes home

Guinevere is nice too

I want something pretty, feminine and old fashioned. All the things I'm not really

Clementine is another I like

Im still a bit broody despite being well past reproduction age.

Until i did family history I hadn't realised Matilda was a family name. Dd2 would have been Matilda if I had known.
Naming cats and dogs with unused baby names is great.

How about a name that you really like but thought might be a bit too frilly/'different' for a daughter.

Nancy! That's a contender. Thank you

You could call her Glitterbiscuits.
Nancy is a good one. Strong and sassy.
