Kitten Names.....

[Phantomquartz]

I am getting kittens! Will you help me name them? I want an obscure and dignified kitty name - preferably historical or characters from literature?

Hereward & Ivanhoe

Sebastian & Charles

ooh I like Hereward!

I ought to have mentioned that I'm getting a boy and a girl - although it probably doesn't matter for cats as much does it?

Oberon and Titania

You try telling that to the cats!!

Gatsby & Daisy

Arthur & Guinevere?

(or do I mean Lancelot & Guinevere?)

You could go down the Greek/Roman gods route.
Zeus and Hera
Apollo and Minerva

Matisse and Figaro

Or Tosca

Tristan and Isolde
Lizzie and Fitz(william)
Victoria and Albert
Liz and Phil

oooh, Victoria & Albert - very dignified!

Napoleon & Josephine
Catherine & Rasputin
Mr King & Mrs King (George & Charlotte)

Troilus & Cressida

What are you calling them?????????

Sorry, got back from work very late. I really like Hereward. I want really obscure names.... so need one more.

Oh and thank you all for your suggestions.

Balthazar would be an excellent cat name.

Merlin & Gawain or Guinevere

Oberon & Titania

It would indeed.

Ok, I've been canvassing other people and have this list so far....

Florizel and Perdita
Hereward and ???
Abelard and Heloise
Balthazar and ???

and completely out of my criteria
Mugwort and Artemesia

Gaspar or Melchior to go with Balthazar
3 wise men and all that

Balthazar is an awesome name!!
What about Eisenhower?

Hereward's mother was Godiva

(don't think she was that one but that's nice & historic )

oh it was that one

but she may not have been his mother really

it's all legend, lost in the mists of time etc

The cat & dog in I Capture the Castle were Abelard and Heloise

Historic, literary, pretty obscure (well it is to me ), would go quite nicely with Hereward

Andromeda
Jezebel
