What would you call two girls?

[neverbeenskiing]

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 🙂

Read that as dildo 😳

I know cats sisters called Peggy and pat 😂

Your DH is clearly a man of taste 😜

Yzma and Ursula .

The trouble with matchy names (as we found out with our many guinea pigs over the years) is that you end up starting with Bubble & Squeak, then one dies, and you get two more which you name Gin and Tonic, and one of them dies, so you end up with Squeak and Gin.

Daphne and Velma
Wilma and Betty
Florence and Rosemary
Lavender and Lilac

Pepsi and Shirley

Mavis and Beryl

Hecate and Hermione

But I like Elphie and Glinda too

Stacey and Nessa!

Or Pam and Gwen!

@neverbeenskiing Yay you like Betty and Inez/Ines! They were my favourites 😄definitely update us when you decide! They're very cute!

Mine were Ruby and Millie. Named after a make up brand back in the day.

Elphie and Glinda . Fabulous! 😻😻

Dotty and Smudge

I wouldn't do matchy names - I know a lot of people who have and then they end up with random combos as one of the original pair has died (sorry to be morbid!).

I am a big fan of giving cats a name that can be shortened so you can give them their 'full' name when they are naughty, for instance we had a black cat who's day to day name was Bob who we would call Robert when he was being a cheeky wee sod 😂. So on that basis alone I like Elphie and Glinda because Elphaba and Galinda as full names is fantastic. I also like to give them made up middle names that change as well for telling off purposes. I'm easily amused.

Maud and Mildred

Perhaps the DC can name one each? So Elphie and Maple 😊

I love elphie and Glinda - the only thing is when names date - our elderly rabbits are called Anna and Elsa and my now teenage girls wish we had called them something else !

That's a really good point!
