What would you call our kittens?

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.

What beautiful cats! I like Jasper for the boy and Smokey for the girl. They're gorgeous! Congratulations on your new addition OP!

How about Dusty for the boy. They're adorable. What age are they?

They're only 7 weeks. We agreed to take them in a rush because their mother was killed by a car on Friday. That's why we have not had any names prepared.

He's a Sylvester.

(We currently have a girl Minnow, who is tiny and tabby and wicked, so it doesn't sound right to me on a fluffy boy cat.)

Gorgeous kittens! We like Ash and have stolen it as we are getting a little grey/black fluffball soon! Also like storm for the boy. Love mossy for the girl!

Ash and Misty would work.

You can tell I had pokemon era children, can't you?

Oh my, absolutely beautiful 😻😻! We have a Jasper. Sorry can't be more help. Enjoy them!

Milo is nicer than Minnow I think!

I tried Milo but they wouldn't have it.

Look what's sitting on me!

Reason I asked is we're getting kittens who'll be 8 and half weeks and I just cant imagine their size. We visited them at 4 weeks and they were so little!

Elbels · 01/09/2019 22:06

Cleo and Merlin. What gorgeous little things!

WaxOnFeckOff · 01/09/2019 22:11

Smog for the boy and Trixie for the girl

Whatnotwot · 01/09/2019 22:13

Gosh they’re beauties.

I like Minnow and Mossy (could be nn for Mosschops, the cartoon dinosaur ).

Also love Sooty and Sweep ( because they’re both so mischievious

Mr Moon and Daphne

Bookworm4 · 01/09/2019 22:15

Dina & Dooley
Polly & Tommy
Fizz & Finn

Weedsnseeds1 · 01/09/2019 22:40

I like Minnow and maybe Agate for the girl?

Sorry I didn't reply. The girl cat has been poorly and just wanted to sit in a blanket on my knee. I think she's OK but taking them to the vet tomorrow.

Thanks for all your suggestions. We'll decide tomorrow (probably when the vet asks their names )

Names we considered for boys: Elvis, Odin, Loki, Keeko, Kaspar, Buddy, Buster, Trouble, Rex, boys we have are Lennon, Teddy (who is grey) Tux, Remi and Nova. I would name your boy, Buster probably

Girls. Luna, Bluebell, Lavender, Reva (means Rain in Hindi), girls we have are, Momo, Shinobi, Pixie, Bumble, Cici, Zelda. I'd go with Lavender probably.
