We are adopting this gorgeous little boy this weekend. Any suggestions for names? Smile We currently have a black female cat called Charlie (long story!)

Oh my goodness, Simon sprang instantly to mind and then i saw the first comment!

Rufus

imdunkelnistgutmunkeln · 31/08/2018 19:25

I love Marmaduke but it's the name of a previous family cat.

I like Rufus but DH says no.

Oooh we both like Cosmo.

Hmm I thought we had decided on Orlando, but we just tried calling out the names and DH likes Cosmo best. I think we'll have to decide what suits him when we meet him.

Alfie. I’ve had a ginger Alfie of my own and fostered a ginger Alfie, both lovely cats.

Your cat is lovely OP. Why don't you call him Prince Harry.

stubble · 31/08/2018 19:41

Defo Harry. All the way. And go get a Meghan. Two kittens, unlike any other animal I can think of, are not double the trouble but they’re twice the fun!

Mazikeen. Maize for short.

Not a Lucifer fan honestly

I've got two ginger brothers. For some reason we imagined two red headed Scotsmen and called them Archie and Angus. My neighbour's cat is called Hamish (although not a ginger) so have a bit of a theme going on Smile

Orlando is great. Maybe Olly for short.

sashh · 01/09/2018 08:22

I like Rufus but DH says no.

But he could be Rufus Hound. Or Rufus not a Hound.

I fostered a girl kitten called Hermione, she went to live with a Ginger male called Weasley.

I also fostered a Chivers, as in the Marmalade

Buster or Bertie.

Our ginger boy is called "Terry" no idea why DS chose that name 🤷

imdunkelnistgutmunkeln · 02/09/2018 13:40

He's home! And called Cosmo. Thanks to the MNer who suggested it. It was the one name that DH and I both loved and I think it suits him. We're also big Seinfeld fans and he is apparently a crazy little thing when he gets going, so he's also named after Cosmo Kramer!

He's currently having a snooze in his travelling basket. Our older cat has had a bit of a sniff around and is very interested in him, but no hissing or anything so I think they're going to be fine together. Smile

Not to everyone’s taste but my auntie had a ginger cat called Gollum Smile he was adorable but either ran away or was stolen.

3girlsmama · 03/09/2018 21:36

Oh I'm strangely honoured that your chose my suggestion, thank you! Grin he is adorable.

We adopted a gorgeous tabby kitten last year and he is adored but I always have a soft spot for a little ginger they are so lovely. Wishing you many happy years with Cosmo Smile

imdunkelnistgutmunkeln · 04/09/2018 22:42

Hi 3girls, I've only just seen your post. Thanks for the name Smile

Cosmo is just adorable! He's only been with us 2 days he he has really settled in. Whenever I'm home (DH works from home so is keeping him company when I'm at work) he wants to be on my lap, either sleeping on me or playing. He's purring and squeaking like mad, and is so sweet and cuddly!
