So, I know that I probably won't actually pick a name until I pick my baby up (beginning of June!) from the breeder and spend some time with her. BUT I keep trying to think of possible names anyway. I am pretty stuck on the idea of a literary name - YES - I am a huge dork (English major/English teacher). But all of the great literary names I came up with are male! (Mr. Darcy, Shakespeare, Faulkner, Dante', Hamlet etc). So far the only female names I have thought of in the literary genre are..

Jane Austin (too long), Darcy (even though she's a girl!), Ophelia, Sayuri (which my mom says she can't pronounce) and Bronte.

Other ideas that aren't literary are: Pearl, Shelby (I love Steel Magnolias), Delilah, and Cashmere (but it has no shorter version).

BTW - she is a platinum point tonkinese (white body, silvery grey points, crystal blue eyes). This is why I liked Pearl and Cashmere. I'd post a picture but I don't know if I can in this forum.

Any ideas or input???

I really like Ophelia and Bronte, but I think she sounds more like an Ophelia.

There's also Cordelia, Desdamona, Juliet, Portia.

The Gulf of Tonkin isn't terribly far from Thailand - you could always go with Anna, from The King and I...

Ignore the redeye. Her baby blues are just going to do that from time to time!

You can pick out your cat's name (the register one) now. And then pick out a "call" name.

Spooky's registered name was Top Secret.

I usually pick out the registered name before I get the kitten. Jack is already named
And he's not even born yet.....


How about Sayuri Cashmere for the registered name (with the breeder's cattery first.
