Help me name our kitten!

DP and I are getting a new kitten. He is squishy and white and fluffy. He's a confident little scamp too :)

His mum was a stray who was being fed by some students, until a couple of months back when she ran in their house and gave birth on one of their beds! The students then called the animal shelter I volunteer at - and the story has a nice ending because all five kittens now have homes (two in pairs then mine) and one of the students has adopted mum.

Anyway, we can't decide on a name and I'm feeling very uninspired so thought I might get a little help here? :). I know pet naming challenges usually go down well :o DP likes Ollie, and I do too, but I know too many DC called Oliver :) I don't want to offend any friends by giving my kitten the same name as their DS!

So if you have any ideas, let me know please...!

Olaf is cute.

We already have a girlcat - she has an old lady name. I don't care about sticking to oldie names though :)

chubbymummy I suggested Piper - and Darcey - and Dudley - but DP vetoed them all :( He's a killjoy! He wants something more boyish - I want cute and boyish! :)

The ginger and white cat reminds me of a foster cat I had recently - he was a feline whirlwind. I think I'm still recovering from his visit!
