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!

@LadyFlumpalot - we must be related #usernames 🤗

I like Cleo best.

And she is beautiful! As are the other cats on the thread! ❤️

Ninkaninus · 16/08/2019 13:04

But I do really like Fluffy Dave too! It’s an excellent nickname.

Nah. Fluffy Dave.

shhsecret · 18/08/2019 11:21

She reminds me of my Wednesday! Half ragdoll half British Shorthair. I remember when we named her everyone was so shocked. WEDNESDAY?!

We've also had a vet appointment and I said "I have a vet appointment for Wednesday" and the woman replied "it's Saturday" I had to explain "No my cat is called Wednesday" 😂😂

shhsecret · 18/08/2019 11:27

It didn't post my picture!

SeroxatBlonde · 18/08/2019 11:27

She's going to be huge!!

Definitely Fluffy Dave, Fluffy for short.

cricketmum84 · 18/08/2019 11:50

@shhsecret haha love that!!

On a similar note we had a cat named Elvis. He was knocked down twice so we spent a lot of time in the vets. They used to shout out "is Elvis in the building" at his appointments 😂

Ellmau · 18/08/2019 12:39

I love her ears!

LadyFlumpalot · 18/08/2019 13:13

Oh my god. The whole family has taken to calling her Princess Fluffy Dave now.

That's it. The decision has been made I think.

DD who was the one who was adamant she was to be called Astrid (or Roughnut) just asked "can I see the picture of Princess Fluffy Dave again please".

SeroxatBlonde · 18/08/2019 20:07

Perfect name 😂

Ohflippineck · 18/08/2019 20:10

( on the doorstep at 10pm and shout out your shortlist. If you feel a bit of an idiot, that is not the one.)

MintyCedric · 19/08/2019 10:07

I loved Astrid but I have been literally crying with laughter at the evolution of Princess Fluffy Dave.

Awesome Grin!
