New black kittens need names

22 replies

DatsunCogs · 24/04/2019 12:24

Someone abandoned some kittens outside our local vets :(

They're the last thing I need as I already have one older cat, but once I saw them I obviously agreed to take on two!

DC will have final choice but would love some name suggestions - I don't know if they are/we will take boys or girls. I prefer people names.

DC suggestions so far: Hazel (like) Midnight (dull) Pinky (daft!)

So what shall we call them? They're coming home on Friday Smile

My two black kittens from last year are called Karl and Lenny - bloody silly Battersea names which stuck. Grin You are welcome to reuse!
I also had a black cat years ago called Enoch.

These are all great, thank you! Sirius might be a goer as DD is a Harry Potter fan.

Fleabag and Claire

I have an Ollie (Ollivander) so maybe Ollivander, Sirius, Luna, Dobby.... HP themed!

RiaOverTheRainbow · 24/04/2019 14:07

If you're Marvel fans then T'challa, Shuri, Nakia, Erik Killmonger!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 24/04/2019 14:22

Or you could go all literary get 3 and call them Jekkel, Jessup, and (one eyed) Jill.

DatsunCogs · 24/04/2019 14:33

Haha! I think 2 is probably the limit :) these are all good, I will run them past the DC when I tell them we're definitely getting them ( extreme excitement alert!)

I've had two black cats and called them Toodles and Java, which worked well for them. Good luck with the kittens!

I once saw an absolutely gorgeous all-black cat. I was informed that his name was Jason Grin

We had a black cat named Salem.

sashh · 26/04/2019 05:33

I fostered black kittens we called them Lily and Tonks. We used HP names a lot, we had a Hermione who, amazingly was rehomed with a cat called Weasley.

I also fostered a black car called Salem.

My next door neighbours have a black cat called Sooty.

Chira, from Chiaroscuro.

Lamont and/or Kent (real name of The Shadow).

Bananarama12 · 26/04/2019 05:54

Mine is called Bagheera.

cricketmum84 · 26/04/2019 06:20

I love Sirius for a boy and Luna for a girl :)

Our black cats are called (Black) Treacle and (Bonfire) Toffee.
How about Macavity and Misty (Mr Mistofelees?) TS Eliot was good at naming cats.

Medicaltextbook · 26/04/2019 06:31

I like Midnight, even if it’s not imaginative.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 26/04/2019 10:56

If you are still looking for ideas OP- I saw two black cats on the RSPCA site called Morticia and Patricia.

Toddlerteaplease · 26/04/2019 11:41

We had a black cat called Merlin. I have a black Persian callee Magic and her identical sister was called Maia

Dontgiveamonkeys1350 · 26/04/2019 11:49

Mine is black and is called Boris 😂

DatsunCogs · 26/04/2019 12:33

Thank you for all your great suggestions.

Stella and Sirius came home today :) they have middle names too as it's so hard to choose. They're currently galloping round DDs room where they're going to live while our older cat gets used to the idea. Pic of Stella on my lap SmileSmileSmile
