Renaming a rescue cat

Ginger female cat coming home next week.

I can't use her current name (please don't ask as it's outing) so looking for suggestions as to what to call her.

Hopefully picture attached, but some imagination needed as she's not so miserable-looking in read-life.

She's gorgeous. She looks like a mini wildcat. How about Lynx?

Or, as she's an unusual ginger female, Amber?

Hmm, a famous ginger female...
Queen Elizabeth....Mary Queen of Cats...

Lynx is an interesting idea. Amber/ Amba was on on my shortlist.

My ginger tabby was an Amber. Perfect name.

Mary Queen Of Cats did make me smile.
I don't think she is an Elizabeth. Maybe a Lizzie??

Tigerlilly? We have an unusual tortie that we called tigerlilly. Amber is also lovely.

Miljea · 09/02/2020 00:29

That's Zaphod.

Known as Zafe.

Obviously.

😀

Amber really suits her. She's gorgeous!

Amber or Ember
She’s gorgeous
or
Marmalade
Hester
Suki

Trillion is a great name. It's given me an idea. I've got a group of three boys and a girl to name - so Arthur, Zaphod, Marvin and Trillion. Sorted :)

thecatneuterer · 09/02/2020 09:35

Or Arthur, Ford, Marvin and Trillion - I can't decide.

If you don't want Trillion how about Demelza? - whose literary namesake is a beautiful young female with long ginger hair :)

FeckaDecka · 09/02/2020 09:35

Nala?

7Worfs · 09/02/2020 09:39

She looks like a Clam or Biscuit to me.

Elderflower99 · 09/02/2020 09:45

She is gorgeous, what about Maple? But i do like Amber!

Buggedandconfused · 09/02/2020 09:47

I called mine Lucky.

KatherineJaneway · 09/02/2020 09:50

Looks like a Raffi to me.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 09/02/2020 09:52

Autumn
Annie

bluerad · 09/02/2020 09:54

She looks to have a complex look on her as if she's got the world on her shoulders. I'd call her Puzzle

MartyrGuacamole · 09/02/2020 10:00

Crookshanks ?
Or I like Trillion

ArbitraryNameChange · 09/02/2020 10:01

She looks like a Mabel

StCharlotte · 09/02/2020 10:09

I love Demelza!

NameChangedBecauseIDid · 09/02/2020 10:11

My ginger rescue girl is called Queeny
Really suits her too Smile

YetAnotherSpartacus · 09/02/2020 10:26

I like Amber, but if you wanted a Hitchhikers' name there is always Fenchurch.
