Name suggestions!

[Livinginacatdictatorship]

I'm taking my mum to visit some rescue cats tomorrow as her cat sadly passed away a few months ago.
We're trying to think of names and as its halloween / near fireworks night it would be fitting to have a seasonal name.
She's going to visit a particular cat but last time she ended up leaving with a different one so we need female and male names, does anyone have any suggestions?
Will post a picture of the new addition to her house when we get him/her.

Pumpkin

Also Sparks, Rocket and Bones

Trixywoo

Mr Fawkes
Ghostie - if a white cat
Salem
Zombie could be quite cute
Conker - more autumnal feel

I’ve only ever changed one cat’s name from a rescue centre because it was bloody awful. The other nine I kept as their given name. Maybe you’ll find the right cat with a right name?

Guy (Fawkes)

Great suggestions so far!
I had so far thought of Merlin, Magnus and Binx for a male and Tonks, winnie and Sally for a female.
@AnOldCynic the cat my mum is going to see has the same name as her late father and she doesnt want to keep it if she does get that particular cat, its just a light hearted thread....

Sparkle
Sparkie
Rocket
Guy
Cracker
Toffee
Cinder

I once enquired about a grey fluffy male called Ashley - name really suited him (he went quickly!)
Cracker
Cinders
Jack Skellington
Boo!

Crackle
Whizzy
Flame
Bonnie (Bonfire)
Mr/Miss Pumpkin Spice
Mallow (Marshmallow)
Lattè
Toffee
Spud
Banger

Merlin

Guido!

as in guido Fawkes

i think you’ll find they will have a name already

@Doggielovecharlotte yes, the cat my mum has shown interest in does have a name but as mentioned up thread its also the name of her late father, which she wouldnt want to keep using.
I can completely appreciate that that cat may not be a good fit, there may be other cats and the name may not end up be being changed but its just a light hearted thread.

Anyway, front runners are Merlin for a male and a bit of a curve ball away from the original thought but Scout for a female.

Ah no worries OP

I like “Lolly” if we are going off piste!

Ghost
Wizard
Tricks (or Trixie if a girl)
Candy (as you get given sweets)
Casper (the ghost)
Sabrina (the witch)
Gobelina, the witches cat

Hex
Jinx
Spook
Wraith
Jack O'Lantern

Russell
Frosty
Coco
Claus/Klaus
Noel
Rudolph
Jacko (lantern)
Snowy
Pumpkin
Spider
Bones
Bats

Neep - the Scottish word for a turnip, which were traditionally carved here instead of pumpkins. I can remember my dad labouring over them when I was little!

Penny - “penny for the guy”. Again a Scottish thing, guising on Halloween to get money for fireworks before trick or treating was common.

We have a Louie, who I call Louie-Boo, Boo, Boo-Boo, or Lou-Bot.

good luck today

Pick some old family names. I bet her grandparents’ generation had some great names. We named our cats after earlier generations in the family and it’s worked so well I’ve named the robot vacuum after my grandfather’s sister.
We have Italian and Irish in the family tree - loads of great names for us.

@learieonthewildmoor the robot vacuum did make me chuckle, but its a very good idea I will suggsst it to her later!
@Judystilldreamsofhorses neep and penny are good ones as well and we're in Scotland so neep is quite fitting.

Everyone's themed names are fab aswell I have been relaying them via message 😊

Don’t forget to post photos of the results of the Cat Distribution System 😄
Eagerly awaiting

Marigold? Ok this is a bit of a skew but it is the 'day of the dead' in Mexico and alters are traditionally put on the alters.

Sticking with Mexico Tamale - traditional food to gift to relatives.

Bit of a change of plan!

We went along to visit malcolm, who while he was lovely my mums affections were stolen by two siamese brother cats. They have their vet check next week but all going well we can collect them next week. I was going to take a picture but i felt it was tempting fate a bit till the vet check was done.
They are currently called Skye and Saladin.

How lovely
