Help I have a kitten without a name....

I brought this gorgeous boy home yesterday. DS has the final say on the name so all suggestions will be put to him.

He (Dkitten) is very vocal and incredibly nosey and a wee bit skittish (typical kitten!)

Names I like are:

Frodo
Rafferty
Bilbo
Barry
Bruce

DS so far has considered:

Leonard
Lemmie
Harvey
Oscar
Freddie

All ideas gratefully received

Aww you lucky thing OP, what a gorgeous kitten, name I would suggest are Oscar, Charlie, Smudge, Tom, have fun choosing.

ClariceQuiff · 31/01/2022 07:15

He's beautiful! I like Bilbo and Leonard from your lists and Stripe from pp suggestions.

PurBal · 31/01/2022 07:18

What an adorable boy in need of a name. How about Percy?

AltheaVesr1t · 31/01/2022 07:24

I think as far as hobbits are concerned, he's more a cheeky Pippin than a Frodo or a Bilbo! 😁

My Barry died a few years ago and he was a legend. He looks like a Percival or Horace. Pic of Barry for reference. 😉

Dane or Thane -- I predict he'll be a confident hunter down the line.

3leafclover · 31/01/2022 07:41

How about Carlo?

You need multiple names. So the proper name - e.g. Lord Leonard of Snugglesville.
The short names - Lennie, len
The affectionate names - Lennie lou lou, Leonard Pennard, snuggly wuggly
The telling off name - said to your partner if you have one- That cat of yours.....Grin - obviously we never actually tell cats off.....

SkankingMopoke · 31/01/2022 11:39

I would pick Leonard from those two lists. He's gorgeous 😻

crj123 · 31/01/2022 11:51

Leonard or Barry or Stan. Human names for animals are always a winner IMO.

Just to note that I had a toy horse called Bilbo and 50 years later my dad still won't let me forget that once I got it wrong and called it Dildo...

Haha!! That is me to a tee!! All of my Dpets have had the longest silliest of names within about 6 months of getting them. They also always have a song about them that I make up and sing to them regularly!!

Thank you for all of the suggestions so far.

Leonard is my absolute favourite, currently Ds is trying out Pippin - I'm sure it will be something different by bed time!

I'm really hoping that Leonard wins though!!

He's very very cute!
