Name my kitten?

Hi all! I'm bringing my first ever kitten home in just over two weeks. I've been wanting a cat my entire adult life but it's only been in the last year that I find myself in circumstances where I can give one the love and care it deserves. I am beyond excited!

I think I have a name, DC are obsessed with "How to Train your Dragon" so we are sort of thinking about Astrid. It's not grabbing me though. Any ideas anyone?

Obligatory picture to aid decision!

Girl or boy??

LadyFlumpalot · 14/08/2019 20:29

Ah yes! Sorry, that would have been useful information. She's a girl.

Cleopatra, Cleo for short.

Matilda

Mabel

Lucy

She's got huge paws.

cricketmum84 · 14/08/2019 20:40

Awshe looks just like my sisters cat when he was a kitten, especially with those paws!! He is half Norwegian forest and massive now!

I think she looks like a Saffy :) although I love Astrid too

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 14/08/2019 20:41

I like Astrid , I have two new kittens coming next week/week after this one is Rigby (the dcs named them)

LadyFlumpalot · 14/08/2019 20:41

Oooooh, all names to consider, thank you! Particularly liking Mabel. Not keen on Matilda, but could go with Tilly.

She's a Maine Coon so if her paws are anything to go by she'll be a tigress!

Jane, or maybe Angela

3girlsmama · 14/08/2019 20:46

Portia

LadyFlumpalot · 14/08/2019 20:48

Awwww diddy Rigby! Liking Portia, I have a Jane in my close family so that's kind of ruled that out unfortunately. I do like Cleopatra.

Saffy is a good choice!

DS is lobbying hard for "Fluffy Dave". He is not bothered by the fact that the kitten is a she.

Cherish. Cherry for short.

Dogmatix34 · 14/08/2019 20:56

No ideas but she’s beautiful! 🐱

Longdistance · 14/08/2019 20:57

Beauty, as that is what she is 😻

LadyFlumpalot · 14/08/2019 21:03

I suppose we could go with Belle or Bella!

Ah yes you can see the Maine coon in her face. That's gonna be a whole load of cat when she gets older 😂

Zelda? After the warrior princess?

yellowallpaper · 14/08/2019 21:25

Mike? Short for mikeat. (My cat) Wink

yellowallpaper · 14/08/2019 21:26

Micat. Bloody autocorrect

daisyboocantoo · 14/08/2019 21:30

I said 'name my kitten.'

DH said 'Pussy Galore. Or Radar.'

AltheaVestr1t · 14/08/2019 21:33

She’s beautiful. 😁 She needs a grand name, like Portia, Persephone or Ophelia.
