Cat names

[Kazz]

I just wondered if you had a store in your head of at names for cats, ie if you had a ginger tom or a tortie. Would you have a name in mind.

I have always liked the name Kipling, for a cat and I think it would have to be either an all black Tom, or a ginger tabby.:-D for the name to suit, but a all black Tom would be my minds eye cat for the name.

So do you have names in "storage" in your head.:-D

nope, but seeing as all mine have to have a Rangers theme now, I will have no shortage of names lol.

I do have names I like, not for a particular color: Taz, Matilda, Suki, oh and one I just cribbed from our new member...Obsidian for a black cat! I really like that; could not have another Onyx...

I like Oz (wizardly theme) Iggy, Tabitha (one of Smudge's kittens was called Tabitha); and I have been playing around in my head with Elfie or Elfkin, Mitten, Muffler.

But, I think in many cases, the cat in question tells you his or her name.

Muffin is another one I like ........ also Samantha.

If i had another grey, I'd call him Soloman, dont know why just would.

We had a beautiful tabby cat called Mitten. She was killed in a RTA. :(

Being a big fan of Sir Terry Pratchetts Discworld novels, I would have a ginger tom called Greebo and a pure whit Persian queen called You.

My favourite cat name was Riff Raff (I am a Rocky Horror fan as you may have guessed from my nick lol), she was a stray that landed at my parents house some years ago. Unfortunately she had to be put down after an RTA, we only had her a year, but she was the most gorgeous smokey grey and white long hair.

I've always wanted a marmalade boy cat and was convinced that he would be called Robertson or Chivers. But, when I finally got him, he turned out to be Chester :roll:

I've no other names stored up for future arrivals, though if I ever have a Siamese boy come to live with me I shall take a lot of time to get the perfect name for him.
Otherwise, and if the idea which is in my head that there will be no more cats for a decade or more comes true, and then they will be the black or b&w rescue cats which others ignore, I may stick to 'waiter/butler' names - Alfred, Charles, Arthur etc etc

Not for cats as the last 4 cats I didn't really bank on having, they just came along really and I have no plans for any more in the next 2 decades so non for cats, however...

DOGS! My next 2 dogs names are set. A male Weimaraner and he will be Oakleigh and a male Rottie who will be Austin. Not for another 5 years or more at least but these names have been picked out for some time now! Just spurred me on to write this as I saw pooky had a cat with the same name of Oakleigh and I have never heard of a pet called this before I thought of it and now I have! :lol:

Good names
Borderdawn is very good at names too! She hasn't posted here yet

Think it would depend if I had my current three, as it would have to fit with this seeming old fashioned strong theme (Clementine, William & Maxwell).
Always said if I had a siamese he would be Pharos (pronounced fair-rosse), think if I had a smart black cat I'd fancy something almost biblical! And after the infamous Dick King-Smith novel character, since the age of five i've wanted a tortie and white (vivi colours, lots to the face) to name Dulcie-Maude; hopefully she wouldn't produce 104 kittens as her character namesake did though!:D
