Need an unusual kitten name!

We are hopefully getting a kitten very soon, it will be the second black cat in the house.
Stuck for a name for him, it must be unusual, I really don't want a 'common' name. The other cat (also male) has a pagan name. I would like something along the pagan / Norse theme, and it is Halloween coming up too!
Any ideas? Loki would suit, but it's become very common.

Bagheera! My black was named this.

Black cat

molemonkey · 08/10/2017 00:07

Didn't read it properly as Bagheera clearly isn't what your looking for GrinBlush

PossibiliTea · 08/10/2017 00:09

I quite like molemonkey for a cat name....

MoonlightandMusic · 08/10/2017 00:09

Frey or, if he's a lively soul, how about Ragnarok? Wink

YesItsMeIDontCare · 08/10/2017 00:12

OK, not really Norse, Pagan or Halloween... but Beowulf has got to be a pretty unusual name for a cat?

Is Salam too obvious

Huginn or Munin, the names of the Allfather Odin's two ravens - so all black. The names mean 'thought' and 'memory.'

badbadhusky · 08/10/2017 00:26

Ragnar is also a good Viking name. Or Erik (like Erik Bloodaxe). Or Harald - as in Harald Bluetooth, who tried to unite the Scandinavian kingdoms under a common language & whose name was used for the Bluetooth tech (the logo is 'HB' in Nordic runes, fact fans!)
