We are the very proud servants of two 8 week old kittens- we are fairly sure of their sexes (and they will of course be neutered) but we’d like to choose their names and have never sexed cats before!
Any experienced opinions will be gratefully received! - unflattering photos are hopefully attached 😁 - Thank you!

@Fluffycloudland77 do you know, husband said that too! Breeder was adamant though. I’m a complete cat novice so while they’re nameless I’m referring to them as ‘the grey and white one’ and ‘the other one’ 🤭
Terrible, I know. We need names! Poor loves. I’ll update when we commit to them 😂

@OhhForGoodnessSake

Most definitely indignant and absolutely horrified at the experience, I imagine. I did apologise profusely; I’ve never had a cat and do feel awful for subjecting them to it all 🤣

I’ve actually no idea! Husband is naming the dark tortoiseshell; he thinks Luna will suit her well.
Naming the little grey and white girl is my job. I’d had my heart set on Atticus, so that’s off the table now! I suppose the next choice might well be Scout, but she has a very delicate looking face. Any ideas?? (It took us a week after our daughter was born to name her 😳 naming things isn’t my strong point 😂)

Why not Attica? I think it suits her!

Also my friends have just called their baby girl Scout, and while it's a bold choice of name it definitely works, so why not?

After watching them (almost obsessively, they’re amazing), I’ve decided she is most definitely a Scout! Incredibly plucky and adventurous.
So, we have a Luna, who is very collected and calm (almost lofty 😂) and a Scout! ❤️
They have already caught on to the power of Dreamies 😁

Both tabby and white and both gorgeous. The breeder clearly has no idea about sexing or cat colours though. Accidental litter? Hmm Hope you didn't pay a ridiculous price to line their dubious pockets.

I’m glad I posted now! I’ve stalked here for a bit so it’s nice to have some real-life advice.
She didn’t attempt to sex them as very honestly said she didn’t want to get them wrong. We didn’t mind either way as we wanted them to have company and they’ll be spayed regardless. They were £150 each. Robbery, really, but realistically they are worth every penny now they’re here and I’m already worried about them going outside when it’s time 😂
Fuelled by her daughter wanting a litter from her cat, I think 🤨 we did enquire about a few litters and these were the ones that were best taken care of, so went for these two. It has taken me years to agree to a pet, so husband and children are thrilled now 😁🤣
