Help name my new kitten

He's male. I don't know much about his personality yet but he's endearingly clumsy, likes to climb, and is very vocal.

I'd ideally like a Scottish name but open to suggestions!

(He will be freed from his crate. I'm just keeping him there while he settles and my other cats can meet him from a distance)

He looks like a Marmaduke to me!

What a gorgeous kitten, he’s adorable. I think Marmalade suits him.

I'm a fan of using men's names, particularly ones from the older generation.
I'd call him Colin or graham or something similar 😂

Oh yes, Graham would be great! I always use people names for my cats.

DanteThunderstone · 08/03/2023 16:54

Tavish or Sorley.

This just made me burst out laughing on the train home from work and people are looking at me weirdly now !!

A stunning Scottish redhead in prison? Surely that's James Alexander Malcom Mackenzie Fraser!

Or Red Jamie? Grin

😁I like your thinking!

I second Fergus. We had a Fergus cat, Ferg, or Fergie for short.

ourflagmeansdeath · 08/03/2023 17:10

Marmalade is perfect as a PP suggested before, and I also like Jamie!

He's absolutely gorgeous by the way, so so cutee. 💞
