We have literally been through hundreds of names and we just can't agree. Any name suggested either 2 or 3 people veto (and there are only 4 of us in the family). I like old fashioned names, and those ending in y / ie, or a. We all like books & movies, but have very different tastes. They are 1 boy (grey and white), and 1 girl (black and white). Also, nothing too matchy matchy, needs to work as a stand alone name. Help, because at this rate it will be boy cat-y and girl cat-y.

Will post a pic, but it might take me a while!

Hopefully these pics will work. The boy cat particularly is very lively, they are rarely still and in the same place!

They are so adorable.

Buttons and Bella

bumping, as we are on day 3 and still no names! Of the above I like Mabel, Percy, Pepper and Cookie, but no one else does.

@chocoholic1234
Peggy sue and Alfie

chocoholic1234 · 23/09/2018 13:53

I like Peggy, but I don't think anyone else will.

The youngest boy likes candy and honey.
The eldest boy likes Lyra (from his dark materials).
Husband likes names from Star Wars / lord of the rings etc, but I don't.
We all like Harry Potter books, but none of the character names.
I like chick lit, Jane Austen, and 1920's style, but no one else does.

Keep the suggestions coming!

Dobby and Luna!

MiniLeopardInTheHouse · 23/09/2018 14:15

Something for the time of year? It's Autumn and Hallowe'en around now, so it would remind you all when they joined the family?

Magic and Pumpkin, for example?!

What a nice problem to have.

YeOldeTrout · 23/09/2018 14:24

I loved the MNer who named her cats after serial killers so probably shouldn't put my ideas down.

Flotsam and Jetsam
Lola and Freud

Pearl and Bay

MrsCatE · 23/09/2018 20:41

Completely disregarding your preferences; 'Sausage' and 'Chips' or 'Pudding' and 'Custard'. I must be hungry because normally advise name like 'Steve': whatever sex of cat.

chocoholic1234 · 23/09/2018 21:27

Love Maggie and Lola. I think they were also vetoed.

I tried listing all our favourite names, I think I had about 40 names on there, with a few suggestions from everyone else, then vetoing names until we had a shortlist of what was left. The result was names that nobody hated, but nobody loved either,

Keep them coming!

Maggie is a great cat name it was a close contender for our new cat Darcy
On a Simpson's theme what about Bart for the boy cat?
I also like for the girl- Nora, nel or posy
For the boy- Stan, sid or Rodney
They're very cute

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/09/2018 21:40

OMG. They are stupidly adorable.

I agree about an Autumny/Halloweeny name.
Boy. Zombie. Spookey. Creepy. Casper.
Girl. Boo/Willow.Autumn.Winnie

Penguinsetpandas · 23/09/2018 21:47

I was going to suggest Candy and Kane to do Star Wars and your youngest but putting Candy Kane into google seems to get some Shock results so might mean something I am not aware of.

Penguinsetpandas · 23/09/2018 21:48

Or Lion and Tiger as they look fierce. 😎

Darcey is one of my favourites, but has been vetoed. Along with smokey, Dusty, Dixie, Oti, and about 50 others.

Adding Willow, Posy and Stanley to the list.
