Help me decide on my prefix

I breed Ragdoll kittens and am finally applying for my GCCF prefix and I can’t think of ANYTHING good that isn’t already taken. Can some creative people help me think of ideas?

I’d like Rag or Ragdoll in it so it’s obvious what I breed but it can’t be too long either or it restricts kitten names.

Why is this so hard!

Sorry - love the picture but I have no idea what you are talking about! Can you explain?

Well I breed pugs (I will just wait whilst the pug hunters throw things at me) and my affix is Bubbapug. Having said that I'm a crap breeder because I hardly ever sell them. That probably doesn't help much does it?

Ok so a prefix is something that you pay for and register as yours and then it becomes your breeder name. When you name your kittens that word then goes in front of all the names. So for example a breeder might have Ragtastic and then their kittens are registered as Ragtastic Bluebelle, Ragstastic Poppy and so on. If you don’t have your own prefix the GCCF give you their one that changes every year. So one of my girls is Adjulsl then her name.

Some that I’ve come up with but none seem quite right.

-Ethereal Ragdolls
-Indigo Ragdolls
-Beau Bleu Ragdolls (beautiful blue in French)
-Bellisimo Ragdolls (beautiful in Italian)
-Amour Ragdolls (love in French)
-Bluebell Ragdolls
-Bleu Belle Ragdolls
-Iris Ragdolls

Oh! Thank you for the explanation. I'll see if I can think of anything, but I'm hopeless at things like this!

AlfiePup · 01/10/2018 14:18

I like Ragtastic!!!

Knitjob · 01/10/2018 14:22

I like Indigo Ragdoll. Don't know why, it just sounds quite glamorous.

I had a ragdoll once, was my absolute favourite cat ever.

Wolfiefan · 01/10/2018 14:24

I like Indigo. What about something related to where you live or why you’re a breeder etc?

Frustratedfrenchie · 01/10/2018 14:28

Rosie Ragdoll? Only because Ragdoll is the name of the barge in Rosie and Jim!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 01/10/2018 14:43

No ideas OP. But I shall now prefix my cats' names with 'Battersea' to make them feel more upmarket. Grin

CatchingBabies · 01/10/2018 15:07

Ragtastic is already taken. Just used it as an example. Indigo is the name of my first Ragdoll so quite like that. Just hard to make a final decisison!

What do people think of Indella Ragdolls, my partners suggestion as our current breeding queens are Indigo and Bella and that includes them both.

I haven't a clue sorry but I need one of those kittens! Soooo cuuuute!

Wolfiefan · 01/10/2018 22:58

I like that.
Can’t think how to phrase this. They’re your breeding queens now but how would you feel in years to come? Fitting tribute or upsetting reminder?

Allergictoironing · 02/10/2018 08:51

It's a pretty name, and I would look on it as a tribute to the founding mothers of your line.

Prefixes referring specifically to the area you live in can be a Bad Idea. I knew of a dog breeder who used a prefix relating to her village, then moved a long way away. And another who's prefix related to her county, then she moved to another country!

DaffodilPower · 02/10/2018 14:12

Can't think of anything - sorry, but please can I have one of your beautiful cats?!!

CatchingBabies · 02/10/2018 17:50

Yeah don’t want a location one as likely to move in the future. And I think even in years to come it will be a nice reminder of our first girls.

Kittens in the post to all those who requested them 😂😂

Can you believe this stunning boy is the last one to be reserved! Getting very tempted to keep him.

How about Ragadazzle

MrsCatE · 03/10/2018 00:27

Look, I have first call on your lovely beast because I understand your user name. GIVE Me!!!
Re original query, haven't a clue - would RUGdoll work?? If you adopt prefix, I want lovely beast (a pipedream - my huge, ex-feral Tom would NOT be amenable) x

DaffodilPower · 03/10/2018 10:29

Aww he is so handsome!!!
