New kitten! Naming help needed please!

[cricketmum84]

Hello fellow cat mums (and cat dads) and cat slaves.

I finally got the call from our local rescue (been waiting weeks) that a kitten is ready for us to collect on Saturday! We are beyond excited!

However none of us can agree on a name! DD1 likes Minerva
DD2 likes Izzy
I like Betsy
DH likes Harriet

Pic from the rescue below (as I know I can't ask for kitten names without a pic!) I'm so in love already.

I would love some suggestions that we can all agree on :)

I really like coco but the family don't :(

Juno is definitely on the shortlist as is Eloise.

Tilly off the list as DD1s girlfriend has a cat called Tilly... who knew how many names could get vetoed for silly reasons! Can't use Lucie as there is a girl in DD1s class called Lucy who annoys her...

Eek one more day until kitten snuggles!!

Ooh and we already have an Ivy (extra pics below) so cant use that one.

What about Bisoux - French for kiss? I am a fan of unusual names particular as I know how many Betsy, Daisy and evening Harriet's there are though cat name of the moment is Luna.

Nora from Normandy.

Was it this much effort to name your children? 😀

@Fluffycloudland77 yep!! But at least we had 9 months to argue about it 😂

Socks!

Ava

Bijou - French for jewel
Marianne
Josephine

Bijou - French for jewel
Marianne
Josephine - Jojo for short

To go with Ivy:
Holly - maybe a bit too cutesy though

She's gorgeous! We are getting a kitten and this is our short(ish!) list - some a bit random as they're DS's choices

Cleopatra (Cleo)
Clementine
Hermione
Diamond
Candy
Zelda
Moon
Jellybean
Maud
Ethel
Pickle
Lottie

We have ended up with Betsy. It just suited her so much when we picked her up and saw her face and her personality. It was perfect!

She is incredibly beautiful but already very naughty 😂

OMG the Fluff! You'd better get her used to being brushed.

I foresee "Heavens to Betsy!" being a frequent expression in your house.

I hope she gets on with Ivy.

Haha yes we got a little kitten grooming kit so we can get her used to it. There is quite a lot of fluff going on!!

aww bless she looks like a fur explosion

@Fluffycloudland77 who's daddy's best girl??

Cats have finally made friends too!!

Yay! They look well suited to each other.

@TheLongRider to The other cat or the dh 😀. Look at her snoozing on him even though he doesn’t like cats.

Oh i want a drinks cabinet 😃. They are lovely and it didn’t take very long for them to be friends.

People who "don't like cats" tend to be the ones who fall deeply in love with a particular cat.

How could he resist her anyway?

Oh isn't she adorable!

I have a DH like yours cricketmum84. He thinks I don't hear him telling Leroy what a beautiful boy he is!

@TheLongRider yes totally 😂

I caught him brushing her this morning. Apparently he was "just getting her used to it" 😍 and he has found a cardboard box from the garage and asked our 11 year old to make her a fort 😂

She has definitely stolen his heart!

I'm not surprised. I have an absolute weakness for longhaired tuxedos😻. She's beautiful. My late longhaired tuxedo, Kitty, was an absolute character. Love her name.

Oh god. He's made up a song for her 😂😂

Betsy!!!
So beautiful, congratulations, enjoy 🐱
