What shall we call our new kitten?

I know we helped nina (or not!) so I am hoping you can help us as we are stuck for a name for the kitten we are keeping. She was born in June

I will continue to try taking a photo of her but she is a short haired, dark tabby with white bib and wellies.

We have two other cats - an all black male born during the Rugby World Cup - his name is Kiwi.

The kitten's Mum was born in May and is, therefore, called Maisie.

Please help - inspiration has dried up in the Lester household.

Many years ago my daughter wanted to call her kitten Genesis, because she liked their records. I said that no way would I go outside shouting, “Genesis. Where are you?” She finally compromised with Whitney, after Whitney Houston.

Granjan06 Your mention of the name Barney brought to mind my neighbours who named their, allegedly male puppy Barney. On finding that He was actually She they amended it to Barney-Elizabeth!

How about Coco. What a dear little cat!

After reading (and giggling) through the other posters I came to the picture. She's very cute.
My suggestion is Whisper.

New one here, Willa.

I see several people have said Juno after phoenix first suggested it.
That gets my vote.

Dh is still calling her 'Baby' angry

What about Bella--because she is beautiful? And it's an easy name to call.

kittylester Sun 05-Aug-18 09:08:08

I suggested Bella until we remembered the dog over the road is called that. grin

A stray cat took up residence with us. I didn't want to name it in case the owner appeared so it became Pussy. Months passed, the cat stayed and DD1 began to talk. She could only say Persy. So he became Percy only he, apparently, wasn't a he .....she never did get a proper name and reverted to Pussy in later life confused

Gemima..... she is just so precious x

kitty if your DH seems stuck on Baby, perhaps a slight change to make it Bibi, although can't say it would be my choice!

MrsAllboys Sun 05-Aug-18 10:20:26

[Kitty] it sounds to me that her name is destined to be 'Baby'. She's very sweet looking so it will suit her. Although I do like Juney Purr, it's clever and appropriate.

kitty .... have you considered Bailey??

The most famous screen cat must surely be the one in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but calling a cat ‘Cat’ ? Think not,

We bought our younger daughter a kitten when she was 4, it was born on St,David’s Day, the breeder named her Daffodil, my husband said - no way was he going into the garden calling ‘Daffodil’ so younger daughter chose Topsy.

marmight, we have a dgd called Persie!

Miep1 Sun 05-Aug-18 11:50:03

We are just in the process of homing five kittens and, though we tried not to name them, of course it didn't work! So we have Solo, Beelzebub, Trouble, Scat and Battypuss. Our normal cats are Asbo, Alcopop, Mardi Gras, Cornflake, Miep, Dynamo and Tablet. We always end up with odd names!

My parents cat was called Baby for all the above reasons Kitty!
