Kitten names! Thought it would be a bit different... :oD

[ally90]

Silver tabby boy, half his tail missing, very masculine, very handsome, but gentle.

Give me a name that sums all that up.

And I've thought of bobtail already

call him Mackerel.

Mac for short

Spiller

Caramac for long

Liking Tolstoy, Tolly for short? (Anyone else read/watched Green Knowe? Just me then...)

Finding Mackerell strangely appealing

Arfa tail... you know.........

Mandu

Astrophe

Aclysm

Sorry... I know that's just silly

Jackson?

oooh, how about Atticus?

Fortyplus...interesting choices... got to be able to shout them tho without my teeth dropping out...

Dinny...as in Micheal? Nooooooo and he's a boy kitten

atticus...hmmm... like the roman feel to it...

Like the name Romulus...just a bit of a mouthful...

How about some made up names as well?

Ken

Donald

Scut

Leonard

Well, you decided yet?

kim

cuthbert

joe

My cats were called Rufus and Clive

Friends of mine had sibling cats. One set of brother and sister were called Pinot and Shiraz. Another were called Benson and Hedges. These theme-names don't work for single cats though.

I've been trying to meditate on the themes of silver (Sixpence? Spence for short?), and masculine but gentle but no further inspiration.

I still quite like 'Arfa' and Mackerel/Mac (fits with the silver colour?), though.

no, Jackson as in Pollock, pmsl

Atticus?
Bill (as in Clinton, he is a bit of a silver fox)

apillar or astrophe

Bill Clinton...a silver fox...

Pollock? Isn't that a fish? Can see the connection...prefer Mackeral....

Clarence - I had a lovely gentle tabby by that name long ago...

Sterling
Montgomery (Monty)
Taliesin
Alexander
Orlando

Thanks for suggestions GGM (like Monty alot) and Laundryfairy (like Clarence too

I have let my dd decide (23.5 mths)....read out the suggestions and she chose...............

Harry. As in Harry Potter. Not on list... original choice.

How do I know which kitten she meant (we watch Tom kitten/simpkin pussy cat from BP and they and the kitten to come all get confused) because when we went to see the kittens the other day, one fell and banged her head...so when I asked what she wanted to call the kitten...I read out some names to her...she said 'bang! head! harry kitten'...

Me: 'you want the kitten to be called harry? Not alfie or merlin or etc etc...?' (in cajoling way)

dd: 'No, harry' short but determined nod of head.

So his official name will be Bang Head Harry Kitten is it a good idea to let a not yet 2 year old decide?

Thank you all for your suggestions

We got our dd a kitten (boy) and called him Boots (from Dora the Explorer)...took him to the vets for jags and were told he is a she and he/she is now called Dora....although my friends call her Satan as she is a bit mental!

PS. LOL at genghis!!!
