These lovely ones came to us today and we're smitten.

We're thinking of names which is lots of fun but would like more ideas. What do you think?

The grey is a boy, shyer and likes to sit down more. Favourite name so far Minnow.

The other with a bit ginger is a girl very adventurous and affectionate. Front runner name Pepper.

Your girl is a dilute tortoiseshell in colour. Smile

Those sounds like good names!

Queenie is also popular for the girl.

Aww I had a fluffy little girl the same colours as yours when I was young, she was called Muffin (short for ragamuffin Grin)

Like Muffin. Jasper has been vetoed by the kids but I liked it.

I wanted Ash but dd didn't like it.

Pebble is a strong contender for the girl. Difficult to get a good pic of her as she is asleep under the table.

Cleo and Finn.

There’s nothing more fun than having two kittens. It’s great! Well done OP.

I really want another.

DCs frontrunners are Minnow for the boy and Mossy for the girl because of her dapples.

I'm quite happy with those. What do you reckon?

They don't stop! DCs have declared they no longer need a TV.

They are absolutely gorgeous. I like Mulder and Scully but won’t mean anything to your kids

MrsGrindah · 01/09/2019 19:38

I’m not fancying Minnow to be honest...it’s a little wriggly fish type thing isn’t it?

margaritasbythesea · 01/09/2019 19:45

It is. Dh doesn't like it either.
