Kittens needing cool names!

Hi all,

We have rehomed a pair of kittens and are bringing them home next week.

We have a tabby and white male and a black and white female.

My DS is 5 and has decided he would like to call them both Mittens or Mavis and Dennis. Grin

I think we can probably do better than that! I would love to hear your suggestions, please!

Awww .... Let your DS choose the names. What does it matter.... For what it's worth we have hens named Agnetha, Bey, Madonna, Lianne and Taylor. Our next batch are going to be called Jigglypuff, Eevie, Pikachu etc

juliascurr · 22/09/2016 17:57

I'm amazed you need more ideas when you already have Mavis and Dennis. These are the true names of your new cats
your DS is clearly a genius, a truly gifted child Star
enjoy them all

I love the name Moses (especially if you have a Northern accent) for a boy, but when we met him, it wasn't the right name for him.

I like the old fashioned names like Maude, Charlotte and Audrey for girl cats.

Or Maude and Claude?

I always apply the rule that any 'old person' name will do. Dennis and Mavis fit the hill perfectly.

Can't be doing with Fluffy etc. My ex-BF called his cat Holly. It put me right off him for some reason.

Womenareliketeabags · 22/09/2016 18:00

Pictures needed please!

JeepersMcoy · 22/09/2016 18:00

Mavis and Dennis are great names. Why are you even considering anything else?! Grin

allsfairinlove · 22/09/2016 18:08

Davis and Mennis? Grin

FuzzyWizard · 22/09/2016 18:11

Mavis and Dennis are awesome cat names. There's a cat on Instagram called megatron which I also think is very cool. I wish I'd thought of it first. Grin

Jellybean83 · 22/09/2016 18:46

Another vote for Mavis and Dennis, awsome names!

WristBoundLatexBitch · 22/09/2016 18:49

Hotel Transylvania fan by any chance?

Mavis and Dennis are cute

Motherwithflaws · 22/09/2016 18:56

Got to be Mavis and Denis!

TroysMammy · 22/09/2016 20:28

Second Mavis and Dennis. However Mavis in Corrie was married to Derek.

buckingfrolicks · 22/09/2016 20:38

You could go for Bonnie and Clyde or Lenin and Trotsky but tbh why bother when the have über cool names of Denis and Mavis? God your kids cool!

DirtyPlacemarker · 22/09/2016 20:53

Yes! A big Hotel Transylvania fan! He actually said Dennisovich. I take on all of your wisdom and will go with Mavis & Dennis. Good old DS!

Mavis and Denis great names.
Just to make you aware that under mumsnet rules. You are mandated to post cute kitten pictures when they arrive. Grin

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 22/09/2016 23:43

Ooh my apologies. Just seen their picture. They are scrumptious.

sashh · 23/09/2016 07:16

Mavis and Dennis - fab names.

RoastChickenDinner · 23/09/2016 07:58

Mavis and Dennis - awesome!! I'm not a fan of 'sets' of names (after famous duos etc) or rhyming names.

If DD had got to choose PreciousPussGirl's name it would have been FluffyBunnikins or similar Confused

TroysMammy · 23/09/2016 19:19

Aww what beautiful kitties. It looks like butter wouldn't melt in their mouths Grin

AdaLovelacesCat · 23/09/2016 19:21

Mavis and Dennis Mittens - it's perfect
