The litter tray

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.

Loki

Samhain (pagan festival marking the end of the harvest test has morphed onto Halloween).

@MrsEileithyia I went to watch Cats last year :)
Disappointingly, it looks like we won't be getting the kitten. They were advertised as not ready until next weekend. I've been to visit and asked them to reserve him, but now they've put a new advert on to sell them ASAP and are ignoring my texts.
I didn't leave a deposit, but they said that was fine :(

Another vote for getting a rescue cat. There are plenty of black cats available.

Get a rescue, there's so many beautiful black cats needing homes.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats thank you.
We are going to get a rescue cat. All of my pets (except my last cat) have been rescues of some kind.

I'm located in South Yorkshire.

@EachandEveryone thankyou, he's adorable, and that's our closest branch of CPL too.
Not sure if 3 cats would be too many though!
