Ianto (pronounced Yanto after him in Torchwood).

My sister, when she couldn't decide what to name her lovely siamese just went to her cupboard and named him after the first thing she saw.
His name was "Maxwell House Instant Coffee"

Luckily that translated quite well into MAX.

I vote for Marmaduke

I like wotsit. I once had a cat called oi.

Ron (as in Weasley)

WendyWeber · 15/04/2008 01:23

Simply (Red)
Hucknall (or even Mick)
Harry

...can't think of any more!

Another vote for Marmaduke / Milo

V. impressed at your child's grasp of the influence of MN.

Our male ginger tabby is called Yoda.

Next cat is going to be called Dave.

UnderRated · 15/04/2008 05:17

I was going to suggest Dave. I think it's a great Cat name.

Or, a ginger cat should be Orlando, as already mentioned.

HereComeTheGirls · 15/04/2008 07:17

Claude (think about it)

BouncingTurtle · 15/04/2008 07:27

I new a ginger tabby called Stripey - thought it was a great name.

How about Tango? I like Marmalade too.
I have a brown tabby called Bart and he used to have a sister called Sabre. I didn't name them, that was the names they had when I adopted them.

My 10 yr old DS (who is crazy for wrestling) thinks Triple H - or Triple for short. He has just had a look at all the wrestlers and suspects that Triple H is a ginger who dyes his hair light brown Apparantly Triple H is the 11 time World Wrestling Champion - no it goes right over my head as well.

So from sunny Bolton our suggestion is Triple H

Thanks girls, I will run them past him, any more suggestions very welcome!

the kitten was a surprise arrival from our other cat Fifi, (flipin kids telly!) we have rehomed his brothers, so it will be just him and his mum! hes only 5.5 weeks at the moment and a real cutie!
