We are bringing home two kittens from the animal shelter on Sunday. One grey and white boy and a black and white female.
Suggestions for names would be appreciated (ones that you would be prepared to shout out your front door!!)

Re: New Kittens!! Name suggestions needed!
 
I think it's a bit odd that pets are given only one name but humans usually have two. Quite clearly, your kittens won't have your surname but you might give some thought to waiting a bit until you see what characteristics or behaviours might be reflected in the names you choose. We initially called our wire-haired miniature dachshund "Segovia" but soon realised that his guitar playing wasn't up to par although his singing, especially at 2.00 a.m. was quite powerful. However, we soon changed his name to "Tweakey McPiddle" - very dignified and certainly reflective of his penchant for doing both.
Just a suggestion.

Tootlepootle Aug 23rd 2014 7:35 am

Re: New Kittens!! Name suggestions needed!
 
Tweakey McPiddle is the best name ever! Our pugalier is called Norman the Shit!!

Re: New Kittens!! Name suggestions needed!
 
How about
Mork and Mindy?

Oops! I just see that has been suggested already.
I think they are great names! They are also not the same vowel sound that cats recognise, so they won't get confused.

helcat12 Aug 23rd 2014 8:22 am

Re: New Kittens!! Name suggestions needed!
 
Tate and Lyle?

Dolce and Gabbana?

Randall and Hopkirk?

Just some extra ideas. ;,)

I like this, especially if they are French cats. Not sure how you check, (look under the tail?).

Under a bit of green field in France:(

I've always fancied black & white cats: Asmodeus and Amadeus.

We had a Dorien and Esme, and a Webster...after the dictionary.

Naming pets is the best...you can really let your imagination fly in a way that would be completely unacceptable with one's prodginy:blink:

Shirtback Aug 24th 2014 4:27 am

Re: New Kittens!! Name suggestions needed!
 
I have 2 too: the naming was a fraught process involving too many suggestions :)

So I ended up with Princess Angela-Constanza de-Criminally-Cute-de-Chez-Nous. Now known colloquially as the Bitch, & stuck to Smudge for her sister :)
