New kittens currently known as One and Two

On Thursday we picked up these two gorgeous tabby kittens from our local rescue. It's been over 18 years since we've had kittens and we're absolutely besotted. Our old cat spends most of his time asleep on my bed so we've blocked off the stairs so that they have their own spaces.

The darker one (both female) has so far been the more adventurous one and is always the first to do something - the first to use the litter tray, the first to venture out and explore, the first to purr and this afternoon she curled up on my lap and fell asleep. The other one is daintier, very sweet but just a bit more timid.

So far they have been known as One and Two while try and agree on names. Our list includes Dash and Dot (as in Morse code, one has a stripey tummy, the other spotty), Maud and Mildred, Florin and Tuppence, Fish and Chips or DH's suggestion of sticking with One and Two.

I would love your help in finding the perfect names and I've added photos for the cuteness factor!

I like One and Two.

You could always go early English for one and two and call them Yan & Tan. I do like Dash and Dot though.

Someone I know has 2 kittens, littermate sisters and have called them Tinker and Belle!

Aww so gorgeous. Makes me want kittens! Not sure what the Purplecat posse (who are all older and grumpy) would make of that though!

@TheLongRider thank you so much for the perfect names 😊They are now officially known as Yan and Tan (or Tyan). We found a wonderful video of a family in Cornwall counting sheep using the traditional language. Who knew Pimp and Dick were numbers! 😅

We have had the most wonderful few days getting to know them. They have investigated every inch of downstairs and have found all the dust bunnies! Tan and I have watched Wimbledon together until she fell asleep on my lap. Yan was the first to try out the new scratching board while Yan enjoyed the cardboard box it came in.
