Question Of The Day 16 June, 2019

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

​

I was going to ask a question about fathers but felt it might have been too sad for some of us, so I'm going with something light and not clever !!

If you adopted a new kitten today, what would you name her/him?

Girl-Francesca Noelle
Boy-Christopher James

So what about you? What would you choose?

 

[Winchester]

I don't know. The kids tend to name themselves. It may take a week or so, til they tell us, but they always do.

 

[NY cat man]

Same here. With the exception of Miss Eleanor, who wasn't named by us, all of ours were named for their individual behaviorisms or quirks.

 

[muffy]

I am always coming across names that I think would be cute cat names but I can not think of any right now except the name Mitchell. I have never had a cat name itself. I think Michael or Gracie would be cute.

 

[Mia6]

I thought the Vincie girl was a boy for weeks, then when I was able to pet her I found out I was wrong. I was going to name her Jennifer but it didn't suit her, so she's remained the Vincie girl.

 

[TJW80]

I don’t know. I either choose names based on their personality, or as others have said they’ve named themselves. The only cat we have that has had a name right away is 2 Pawz because my wife thought that name was clever and she had picked it out before we even brought him home.

 

[Tobermory]

I just met a kitty named Spencer, a name that really fit him. I’d consider that for a boy. But I’d spend a lot of time looking at all of the names people here on TCS have for their fur friends. So many great choices!

 

[Graceful-Lily]

It's hard to say because I love to name my animals based on their personality or how I feel about them. For example, Felix's name means "lucky". We always used to tell him how he was the luckiest kitten from his entire family because we look after him the best and have never given up on him.

Sometimes I browse the shelter's website for fun and imagine what life would be like to adopt another cat... I pick names for them too based on their personality and temperment profile. And also their looks...

 

[GingersFloofs]

When I was a kid I had two betta fish named Footloose and Fancy. Once they died, I thought that perhaps one day I'd name two cats that. I haven't done it yet, but if I possibly adopt anymore cats the male would be Footloose and the female would be Fancy.

 

[susanm9006]

My next girl, kitten or adult would be named Harper Rose.

 

[neely]

Sometimes I pick names of a favorite character in a movie/book or celebrity, (dead or alive). Sometimes we have let our kids choose a name if they can agree. For some odd reason we kept the name the shelter gave our present cat because we couldn't think of a better one and it just seemed to fit him. Right now I'm thinking of the name, Jackson, Jax for short.

 

[Aico & Nacho]

Both of my current cats names end in an 'O', so I think I'd like to stick with that trend. For a boy, I like the name Milo. For a girl, maybe the name Echo. I'm not as certain on the girl name as I am the boy.

 

[Jem]

I have always wanted two male cats named Jack and Gus Gus (Cinderella mice) and I have this obsession with the name Morty. I saw a commercial once with with an elderly couple, and the husbands name was Morty, they were so figgin' cute and since then I have been a huge fan of "cute old man" names for cats. But so far, Morty has not suited anyone yet, and my husband did not want to name our most recent two males after Cinderella characters, so maybe the next time I'll convince him.
As for female names, I have no idea, I always have a hard time with female names.

Is Jax, Jackson, from the series Sons of Anarchy? Oh my, he was hot!

My next girl, kitten or adult would be named Harper Rose.

Oh, I love that!

 

[maggiedemi]

Gracie, Gretchen, Bronwen, Harlow, or Karis for a girl.
Holden for a boy.

Same as if I have a kid, but that's probably not gonna happen, so I'll save them for cats.

 

[verna davies]

I have two girls and a boy now so I would have to even things up and have another boy. I like odd names so I think I would name him Sprocket.

 

[maggiedemi]

Gracie

Gracie has always been my favorite girl's name.

Spencer

I like Spencer, it could work for a girl or boy.

Fancy

Fancy is really pretty and fancy!

Echo

I love Echo, so unique.

 

[DreamerRose]

I've always liked the name Chloe for a girl cat. Don't know about a boy.

 

[GermanCats]

I like the two names below.

• Maximilian
• Leonie
