NAME the Kitties!

http://media.webpagesindia.net/pets/1553187951.jpg
In the manuscript I just turned in, I have two golden tabby kittens that my heroine and her two little nieces adopt.
I need names for them. Will you help me?

These are all photos of the type of kittens. I always call these golden tabby. Maybe that's not their correct name but it will serve my purposes.

So what should I name them??? Please leave your suggestions through Sunday, the 12th.


I need to let my editor know no later than September 13th.
The person who comes up with the winning names for the orphaned, adopted kittens will receive a copy of my latest Love Inspired Romance, Shelter of Hope.

The book that these kittens are in is titled, DADDY IN THE MAKING and will be released in April 2011. I know it's hard to remember but I'm always writing a year ahead. So here's a cute kitten video to get your creative juices flowing. Please enter as many times as you come up with names! Invite your friends to offer their suggestions too! Thanks in advance!

Nothing is so embarrassing as telling the vet what the names of your two kitties are. I made an appointment and had to tell them the names: Dead Eye and GrayBo.

Other names of cats we've had are Sam and Cid (El Cid,) Scat, InkyDoo, Sheba (as in The Queen of Sheba,) Ishtar, and Bondisemo.

Ok. I'm not so good at naming cats.

I live in the hometown of the guy who created Garfield the Cat--Jim Davis. Garfield, the name of a former president. Obviously, no one in my town can name cats.

Their names should be fluffy and tuffy, I had a cat names fluffy before I married and it was yellow just like these kittens

Those are really cute kitties! Especially the top ones!!
Some ideas i thought of would be Pepsi and Chips.....
or Snickers and Reeses
= )
Then I always liked to name animals names you could never name a person, but were fun.
Cabinda and Cameroon - Countries or Provinces in Africa
Giocondo and Pierre....Italian and French names....

Or you could be imaginative and name your male cat Katherine Bartholomew and called him "Kitty' for short.
Or biblical....
Genesis and Leviticus
Greek.....
Beta and Gamma

Okay....I will stop now!!

My animals always get Bible names.
So I'll suggest two I've used. Barnabas and Solomon
or
Solomon and Sheba

I liked Ginger and Snap, but someone else beat me to it.
How about Snickerdoodle and Gingersnap. Snickerdoodle is the name of one of my Mom's cats.
For sister cats, I thought of Fairlight and Opal, sisters in Christy by Catherine Marshall.

My two cats are named Cassiopeia & Nmyphadora we call them Cassi & Nymph for short. My cousin has a cat named Cotton. When she got her kitten last year I told her to call her Candy so she would have Cotton Candy but she chose Abby instead which is still cute. So What about the following:

Mis & Chief = Mischief

Cassi & Nymph

Cotton & Candy = Cotton Candy

Cassi & Sassy

Spooky & Trixie

Summer & Autumn

Sasha & Tasha

Pumpkin & Pie = Pumpkin Pie

Sheba & Esther

Lucky & Penny = Lucky Penny

David & Goliath

Adam & Eve

Leah & Rachel

Mary & Joseph

Cream & Sugar

I will let you know if I think of anymore.

Trixie and Pixie first came to my mind. They are adorable. Are they boy and girl? Some of the names were for boy and girl. Maybe I need to go back and reread.
Lion and Lioness if they are boy and girl, lol. Juanita W

As most ginger cats are male my first thought for one is Ginger meggs (its after a cartoon character in australia) Meggs and Fluff or fluffy after Ginger fluff (the sponge)

GunDiva said...

Faith and Hope

Gee said...

Belle and Gracie or Belle and Noel.

I have 4 cats and these two are so adorable. One of mine is this color with some persian. His name is Garfield of course.
I think Tom and Jerry would be cute. They will probably be in trouble all the time.
Or Sandy and Candy
Or Puss and Boots
Or Ebb and Flo (short for Floyd)

Margaret Metz said...

Well... since they're GOLDEN tabbies, why not Midas and Oscar? That fits with a GOLD theme. lol

Seriously, I think they're adorable and I can't wait to see what you name them. I've always had cats and naming them has a lot to do with personality as well as coloring. I wish you all the best with your book and can't wait to read it. :o)

Unknown said...

Well, I see I'm a bit late...should have done this yesterday! LOL Abi already mentioned what I was. In case they are both girls...

SKAT KAT & SKEEZIX OR CATSBY

RAGDOLL & BABYDOLL

MOUSER & MEWSETTE

That's a few suggestions....I'll be back....gotta do more thinking!
