We are getting a kitten (she's 3 weeks old today so will be getting her at the end of May) and need help naming her.

Here's the list so far in no particular order:
Athena
Nebula
Vera
Nora
Wanda
Frida
Pandora

I really like them all but I none of them give me that feeling when I look at her that it's 100% her name.
I want something unusual but "pretty" - DH says I like old lady names so that might be helpful when thinking of ideas). I've also just realised they all end in A!

I've added a picture of her with her two ginger brothers. Mum is a fluffy tortie and dad is a fluffy white and black like her so I'm hoping she will become a little fluff ball!

There are a lot of lovely names on this thread, including a couple I had already mentioned to DH yesterday.
She is lovely I can't wait to get her but this is harder than naming my DS! Grin

I also really like Agatha and Evelyn
I feel like I'm just adding to the list of names I like now though rather than narrowing down one for her!

Sooo pretty .
I like cute names for female and people names for male animals .

I thought Badger too !

Or I'd go

Brock (means badger )
Pingu
Magpie

Proper names
Winnie ( I had a B/W guinea-pig when I was a child who was so sweet)
Edna- ( another guinea pig as a child who was the opposite of sweet Grin )
Cassandra

I think Athena is the top contender at the minute, I also really like the name Nina so thinking I could use that as a nickname for Athena so it would be easier for toddler DS to learn to say. Nebula is DH's favourite so I think we will just have to wait and see what she's like when she gets here and see what suits her better.
I'm so excited she will be here just in time for my birthday!

I had a friend with a cat called Pandora, also black and white. She used to use to the nickname Panda, fitting because of the colouring too :)

She’s utterly adorable. She looks like a Miranda to me.

Maude is always my best bet for a kitten.

DS1 is determined to have a cat called Smiler

Purrfecto · 02/04/2022 13:14

Athena is lovely, she’s very cute!

Have to commend you on the photos , right there in the first post (otherwise you know you'll get berated !)

But do you know that cats have three names ?

The one you give them
The NickName which might be nothing like the name you give them
The name they secretly answer to .

And make no mistake they don't answer to their name unless it is in their interest to do so .

Our female cat is Tarot
Also callled Tarot Card
Or Miss Card .
Answers to the shaking of the Dreamies box or the internal clock that tells her its meal time .

Pippin. We had a cat called Pippin when I was a child. She was wonderful

FurBabyMum02 · 02/04/2022 14:08

Loving wanda, it's different, cute and pretty all at the same time

Yoyokitten · 03/04/2022 20:37

Oh yes Athena.. Nina is perfect for her.

@Nowmum43

I wanted to call out black and white kitten Enid, my family didn't agree so she's not called that! Non of that matters though I only came here to say she is absolutely beautiful 😻
OMG I jut looked at the picture and thought Enid.
