Looking for fun names for my foster kittens

[Amanda's opvangkittens]

Hi all,

I'm fostering stray cats, mostly motherless kittens for a foundation in the Netherlands. Every time I'm struggling with finding nice names.

Can you help me with names in your language, not only English, perhaps with a special meaning? I prefer to have names with 2 syllables.

Attached some pictures of the cats I fostered. I lost 2 of them due to parvo but I'm pleased to say, all others found their forever loving home.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Greetz,
Amanfa

Jabber. (As in Jabberwocky.)

Mimsy. (As in “Mimsy we’re the borogoves.”)

 

[AB00]

Helwa: beautiful, sweet also could mean candy, fits a girl cat
Sukkar: Sugar, unisex
Hurira: Kitten, fits girl cat
Atwi: Tough male cat
Salem (pronounced Sa-lim not salem like the American city): Survived, Safe, unharmed, boy name
Salma: Survived, Safe, unharmed, girl name
Hussa: A Single pearl, Girl name
Bodor: (pronounced Bodoor) A Full moon, Girl name
Dheba: Wolf, Feminine
Dheb: Wolf, Masculine
Sohail: Canopus, The brightest star in the southern constellation of Carina and the second-brightest star in the night sky. boy name

These are Arabic names, if you liked these I'm sure I can find more

Love them, especially cause they are not Dutch or English. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to TCS. Thanks for fostering kittens. The ones in your pictures are all cutie pies.

Sorry for the 2 you lost to parvo, but at least they knew love for a short time. RIP sweet kitties.

As for names for your current kittens, I'll leave that for others, as I'm terrible coming up with names.

To be honest, I have an empty house now due to the fact that my latest nest had the Parvo virus. One of them didn't make it, the other 3 beat the odds with a lot of tlc and medication. As the virus can stay in the house for a year, I had no other choice then to not foster anymore until next June. I don't want to risk fostering healthy cats and bring their lives in danger with this deadly virus. It breaks my heart cause the organisation I volonteer for is in desparate need for help.
Long story but I am preparing for next year. So if you have suggestions, can't wait to see them.
Greetz, Amanda.

OH, good! NOT that you can't foster, and the tragic reason for it, but because we have LOTS of time to find names! I'll go searching for them tomorrow, as I'm running late tonight!

Love them, especially cause they are not Dutch or English. Thank you.

While "Jabber" and "Mimsy" are usually considered English, they are really nonsense words.
They come from a poem by Lewis Carroll called "Jabberwocky" which appeared in his story, "Through the Looking Glass."

'Twas Brillig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths ougrabe..."

Carroll was a Dadaist...an artist who deals in nonsense.

So, even though Carroll wrote in English, words like "mimsy" aren't really native to any language, at all.

They're just made up.

Welcome to TCS and thank you for fostering the stray kittens. Regarding names with two syllables:
Ada - means noble
Mila - means pleasant and dear
Nora - means honored
Priya - means beloved
Nova - means new
Ara - means king

I have a friend who named all her pets by turning on her Pandora (music streaming) and naming her pets after the first song she heard. Her two 1 year old kitties are Mimi and Roger as the first song she heard after adopting them was from the musical Rent.

That's a nice idea!

i tend to use mythology gods and goddess names . but also go by personalities and their body colors
