We're getting a kitty! Now for a name...

We'll be getting a girl kitten in mid July (she's currently 2 weeks old - will put a pic on profile soon).

We're a bit stuck for names though.
I like Molly, Martha, Phoebe
DH likes odd science fiction/game of thrones/mad men names
DD likes Libby, Harper, Miley.

Can anyone help with something we can agree on? (I promise to supply cute kitty photos in return Grin)

If she's your first kitten, there's a breeder trick that can help narrow down on names. So, your first set of kittens all have names beginning with A, your second set with B, third with C and so on.

I have a Phoebe cat. My own name's in your list too so you've clearly got excellent taste.

RightUpMyRue · 08/06/2012 00:21

Barry or possibly Bernard.

We got ours on Monday! We went to look at one and came home with 2...still not sure how it happened but they still don't have names.

Pixie, Poppy, Rosie, Lola, Lily, Bella?

What names does your DH like - can you help me name mine?! At the moment they are Maisy and Minnie.

Duckypoohs · 08/06/2012 00:33

Aww it's so cute, I'm trying to persuade Dp to let me have a kitten atm, there are so many on the pet shop board atm. He hates cats and is trying to fob me off with guinea pigs.

Duckypoohs · 08/06/2012 00:36

Erm where are your photos naturalbaby?

Regarding names, if you go for Martha, your Dp could pretend it was named after Dr Who Martha? Bit of a stretch, but what the hey.

Mermaidspam · 08/06/2012 00:38

Dh likes names like Arya, Cersei and Sansa. I'm not keen tbh.

DH has always said no to a kitten and the a friend mentioned that her brother's cat had kittens and that was that!

I like all of those naturalbaby, we all quite like Lola.

frazzle - I feel weirdly proud Grin

naturalbaby · 14/06/2012 21:31

I thought of Sophie but have a relative with that name...
We called ours Maisy and Minnie, have put my first ever photo on my profile.
They are proper little babies - eating, pooping, sleeping loads.

Mermaidspam · 15/06/2012 09:38

We're going for another visit tonight.

What do you think of taking a small blanket and leaving it there until we collect her in a few weeks so she has something that smells familiar?

OP posts:
Mermaidspam · 15/06/2012 09:38

natural, will you make your profile public so I can see your pics please?

OP posts:
naturalbaby · 15/06/2012 12:42

Think I've made it public now?
The lady we got our kittens from gave us a small towel in a box so they've had that but were very happy to snuggle up on our fluffy cat bed that big cat abandoned years ago.

Mermaidspam · 15/06/2012 15:05

Ahhhhhh. They are absolutely gorgeous!

naturalbaby · 15/06/2012 16:28

Grin I should sort my profile out really.

They've gone back to sleep again after their 3rd meal of the day.
