I need help with a name

[jmdebb]

Hi, I have a new member to my furry family. She is pictured below and I am just terrible at picking out names so I thought I would ask all you guys for some help. I don't like very common names, or names that are human names. Thanks all.

 

[Ash]

Awww she reminds me of my calico, Felicity

 

[alli713]

May be totally random, but her colors remind me of Halloween, and it is coming up soon. So I think Salem is a good name. Kind of going with the "haunting" theme

 

[starleomach]

My best cat ever was fidget....my sister has a cat named Dinga I love that name

I would go with Isis , the goddess of motherhood and fertility. "Isis is also known as the goddess of simplicity,protecter of the dead and goddess of children from whom all beginnings arose, and was the Lady of bread, of beer, and of green fields." (Wikipedia)
If you want something less "out there," then maybe Sienna. She is a beautiful cat!

 

[3CsMommy]

Splash (from the paint splattered look she has). What's her personality like?

 

[Laurie]

Debb! I LOVE human names! LOL! I think Alli's choice of Salem is a good one.

 

[AZChins]

Patches would be a good name.

Although if she were my cat I would name her Peach. I don't know why...I would just call her Peach.

 

[Brittney]

I love calicos. Always looks like there is an orange kitty under all that black
We had one named Callie a while back.

I like Pumpkin! (Sticking with the Halloween theme)

 

[AZChins]

Oooo...Pumpkin is good! If I named an animal that the problem around here is that I call everyone pumpkin. LOL I say it 70000 times a day. That and Sweetpea...

 

[jmdebb]

THose names are great.. YOu guys even picked out some I even thought of, but it's just that when I look at her she doesn't look like any of those names. I mean when I named Angel, I just knew that name fit her, but none of these names just seem to fit her.

As for her personality it's hard to tell because i just got her and she is scared crazy. And for Calli, I can't use that because that's my other calico's name...lol

 

[mishellyshel]

i was calling my new chin pumpkin so much that i looked it up in my italian dictionary and pumpkin in italian is Zucca, so that is his name!
it did take me a few weeks to name him, so take your time and maybe something will come to you. she sure is a cutie. i am not a huge cat person, but if i ever got one, it would have to be a calico. i even like saying that word.

 

[Dustbunnies]

Ginger? or Hazel?

 

[threewingedfury]

Patches was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the face. Susan, I guess we think alike. lol

 

[rach_leigh]

I am sure you will find a name that suits her perfectly! She is a cutie pie!

the naming thing is soo hard. Our baby girl, who turns 1 on Tuesday, was hard to name. We just called her kitten for a few days. Dave wanted to name her Sam, but that was really not her personality. I ended up thinking I wanted to name her after her beautiful eyes. Found "Neela" which is sapphire/ blue in Indian. Of course, half the time we call her Neenee because it gets her all excited, lol. Lucy the dog came named from her previous owners. Pepper, our second chin, was going to be named Blackberry, from Watership Down, but he really didn't suit the name. Since we already had a Chilli, Pepper seemed a good choice since he was a bit darker on the top of the head. Now that we know him better, Woundwort would have been a better choice, lol. He is such a grouch.

You could use a name from TS Elliot's book-

She sure is a cutie.

 

[Newt]

How about "Poppet"?

She looks just like a Poppet to me!

 

[Dustbunnies]

Mikah (Mica)?

 

[Rebecca]

Calista Coraline, which shortens to Calico.
