So there's 3 kittens. Mama is named Gigi, and there was 6 kittens initially, and just 3 survived (so maybe lucky type names could be an option?).





The calico is female and a princess! She is a doll baby who loves to lie on her back and get tummy rubs, loves to snuggle with her mum, and she wants the nipple her siblings have, and she'll try pushing them out of the way to get to it, and squeal if she doesn't get her way


The darker tabby with white is female and a little piggy. She'll be the first to the nipple, and will lie there longer than her siblings, and won't give up the prime position. I think she'll end up looking just like her mum.

The lighter tabby is male and a mama's boy! He squeals as soon as we pick him up, and generally won't stop until he's reunited with mum
Otherwise he's pretty laidback when he's in the cage - his sisters often use him as a pillow


I have NO ideas on names, so would appreciate any suggestions!

Ooh Felix, Felicia and Felicity might be fun.

I like the flower idea as well since it's spring.

I am in the same boat with names.

What do you like? Short names? Longer names? Common/uncommon? Ethnic?

Some suggestions:

Kismet: means fate, destiny (I too, was searching for names that meant lucky or destined)... can be shorted to Kizzy, or Kissy

Boy names:
Akio (means bright boy)
Wahkan (means sacred)
Toshi (means alert, bright, intelligent)

Girl names:
Takara ( means treasure, precious)
Priscilla
Aponi (means butterfly)
Kasa (means dressed in furs)
Nayeli ( means I love you)
Chika (means scattered flowers)
Aya ( means colorful) *thought this would be nice for the calico

Kamiko ( means superior child)
Katsumi ( means victorious beauty)
Mana (means love, affection)
Mieko ( beautiful blessing child)
Momoe ( hundred blessings )
Yuki (unisex, meaning happiness/good fortune)

Me too. But I wanted to add that she sounds like a typical calico to me. All the Calico's I have known tend to have an extra amount of cattitude.

I like "cat" names, not people names, so Chris I like your suggestions! I want 3 names that go well together - I think people respond better if you have a cute theme going.

Urghhh still struggling.

I'm thinking maybe Kate, Juliet and Sawyer (or Jack) after the Lost characters.

Or maybe Sooty, Sweep and Soo after the show I loved when I was a kid


Poppy, Peony and Pepper?

Ash, Daisy and Poppy?

Still thinking...
