What's her name

We are fostering this lovely girl. Apart from the fact she is full of kittens she is absolutely tiny.

She is a gorgeous, very friendly Calico. Any name suggestions. We are not getting very far here as suggestions from teenage sons are utterly ridiculous but they don't like my suggestions (Cleo, Petal, Purdy, Margot)

Any suggestions? Ideally something quite girly but a bit quirky.

Minnie
Charm ( Calicos are meant to be lucky)
Stitch ( there is a book called Calico and Stitch)

So pretty! I think Jemima suits her too. Maybe Jazz.

Or Vogue, because she's rocking some real Anna Wintour shades 😎

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 12/05/2023 23:27

What are your boys into? Maybe we can suggest a name from a comic/movie/book they like which suits the style of names you've had a no to

Hi OP, a few years ago a calico kitten just like your new cat, adopted me and my family. She too was in kitten and tiny due to her tender age…..we named her Minnie. Happy memories, such fun times with her and her babies 🥰.

how long does she have to go?

She's very striking looking, she looks as if she has sunglasses on.

Sunny? Or some kind of summery/holiday theme?

Ooh yes. What about Audrey (as in Hepburn). Or Hepburn! Dainty and elegant, and often in massive sunglasses 😎

I used to have a Coco with this colouring - gorgeous!

MrsCatE · 13/05/2023 01:57

Beautiful beastie and so teenie! Loads of kudos to you as a fosterer (probable new multiple cat owner!). I think you have to bestow her a 'motherly' name like Agnes - even though skipped a few generations! Also think two syllable names work best plus was the name of evil grannie in 'Bewitched'! Best of luck with the kittens and I'm sure we all look forward to tons of pictures!

MrsCatE · 13/05/2023 02:00

Or 'Maxxi' - due to her preferred bedding?!!
