What would you call two girls?

We are about to adopt two beautiful grey tabby sisters from a local rescue. What should we call them??

DD wants to name them Elphie and Glinda (from Wicked) but DS and DH aren't keen!

So hit me with your name suggestions for a pair of female cats please 🙂

I would steer clear of matchy-matchy names that come as a pair if you can.

How old are the cats and do they already have names?

I think Elphie and Glinda are great names!

Love matchy names, we spent ages naming ours but they were pretty obscure.

Was fun seeing DH's crestfallen face every time the vet thought Celine was after Celine Dion though, culture snob that he is.

Whatever you name them though, mostly you will call them something else.

I wanted Zomorph and Oramorph, but that was vetoed!

AnnaMagnani · 05/12/2024 15:46

@Toddlerteaplease I am making notes...

I know someone who called their kitten Lochia 🙄 😸

I love Elphie and Glinda 😄especially Elphaba if she's naughty!

It depends if you’re going to keep them both in their forever homes or if you’re planning to keep one. I’m hoping it’s the former and not the latter. I’d suggest:

  • Maple and Mochi.
  • Tabby and Tiggy.
  • Pebble and River.
  • Thea and Dora.
  • Caviar and Roe.
  • Lavender and Sage.
  • Willow and Ivy.
  • Flora and Fauna.
  • Miso and Tofu.
  • Luna and Stella.

We're definitely taking both of them 🙂

They're 6 months old. They have been given names by the rescue but we'd like to name them ourselves.

I think that Elphie and Glinda are great names, though I can't be 100% sure without seeing a photo (hint hint)

But if DH and DS don't like them, what are their suggestions?

I can't believe no one has demanded a photo yet!! Imagine my disappointment scrolling all the way to the end without seeing them!! Pay the cat tax OP!!! 🐈 ❤️

I think your DD has chosen purrrfect names, if I’m honest.

Don’t name them until you have had them for at least a few days, and you have discovered their characters. See TSEliot for further illumination.

until then you can call them One and Two.
