My list of possible names, open for suggestions!

katkisses · Mar 26, 2010

So I have been calling my new cat Teddy... on here. I have yet to actually call him Teddy though. It just does not fit, at all. He is a snuggle butt thought, like a Teddy Bear. Ok, so I am officially throwing that name out and looking for a new one.

He is DLH Brown Tabby w/White and huge.

Here are my names so far:

Calvin
Leo
Sammie
Leon
Corey
Clyde
Loyd

I am not particularly fond of those names yet, but if those were the only names I could pick from I would probably pick Sammie.

I like names that end in "y" or "ie" for whatever reason. Also names that have "o" or "y" in them. Not sure why, those are just the names I like most.

Any suggestions for other names?

hmm, well going by what types of names you like, have you considered Leroy?

alicatjoy · Mar 26, 2010

I love thinking up names, so here's my list for the day:

Atticus (I have no idea why, but that's what came to me when I saw his pic.)

Brody

Chauncy

Darby

Ebby

Forrest (Again, it came to me when I saw his pic.)

Grady

Hemingway (Could be Hemi for short.)

Joey

Kilroy

Leroy

Morrie

Nelson

Oliver (You can call him Ollie for short.)

Petie

Riley

Simon (Another name I thought of after seeing his pic.)

Tyson (Again, it came to me when looking at his pic.)

Wally

I can probably come up with more

, but I leave you with these for now!

"Woody" comes to mind, especially with his dark coloring! A photo might inspire us!

nurseangel · Mar 26, 2010

I like Lohr (pronounced "Lars") and Murph. My aunt had a cat named Murph and I think it's a cute name. Or myaybe his name was actually Murphy, and she called him Murph for short.

rapunzel47 · Mar 26, 2010

One day I will have a big lovely boy kitty, and his name will be Solomon. But I'm guessing that he'll be called "Silly Solly!" a lot of the time.

I'd let you borrow the name for now...

melissaw · Mar 26, 2010

My vote is on Leroy, thats my dog name for when I get a dog!

katkisses · Mar 26, 2010

You guys are mind readers for a couple reasons, LOL!

*My last name is Simon. Great cat name, but werid for me to be yelling "Simon." lol.

*Leroy was one of the first names I thought of when I saw him, but someone in my family already has a Leroy... and actually I named him, lol. Leroys brother is Kilroy, lol.

*Annnd he was living in the Woods/Forrest before I took him in.

How do you guys do that, LOL? Too werid.

Love the names so far though! I really like the not-so-common names, those are great.

Here are some pics of him:

Don't mind the greasyness, he is not greasy anymore...

Him and Cody... right before Cody bopped him, lol.

This is why I was going to name him Teddy... he is just a big Teddy Bear.

Keep 'em coming, I love the names so far!

alicatjoy · Mar 26, 2010

Here are today's installment of names (I'm getting a head start

):

Arwyn (You can call him Ari for short.)

Brady

Chandler

Dakota (I just thought of this after seeing the pics you just posted.)

Emmett

Farley

Gilbert

Henry (Not original, but cute.)

Ichabod (Ichy (pronounced Icky) for short.)

Journey (From his journey from outdoor feral/stray to indoor kitty.)

Kirby

Loki

Mackie

Noah (He just looks like a Noah.)

Ozzie

Paddington (Paddy for short. It's also a teddy-bear!)

Rory

Sullivan (Nickname could be Sully.)

Toby

Vincente (Vinnie.)

Wiley

Yogi

Ziggy

And, by the way, it's so funny that there were so many names that cropped up that struck you as names that were close to your situation. I'll be interested to see if any of these ring a bell.

LOL, one of those rings a bell too! Dakota is on my handwritten list of names!

Thanks for taking the time to post all of those.

From all of the suggestions these really stick out to me:

Riley
Joey
Murphy
Dakota
Kirby
Rory

Hmmm... looks like I will just have to 'try out' some names this week. See what he likes

.

nurseangel · Mar 31, 2010

Wow, he's handsome, even when he was greasy!

salsero71 · Apr 1, 2010

Hey all,

I dunno what name ur gonna go for in the end...but I wonder if you'd let his personality grow on you for a little while and let the name kinda suggest itself?

The only suggestions I would have...are the names of the characters from the musical Cats...I was initially tempted to name my two after the mischievious pair "Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer" but they were a bit of a mouthful...and their personalities deffo suggested their final names "Salem and Shadow".

Do you have any books/movies/TV shows, with a particular character name you are attached to? I always turn to my favorite fictional characters for inspiration. My dog (an attention-hog yellow Lab) is named after a young blond actress who played a model on TV in the late 90s, and the cat...well, she's named after a vampire!

Really though, they do end up naming themselves if you give them some time to make their personalities known. It takes me weeks to give my pets a name, but I always know when I stumble on the right one. Sometimes it's easier to find a name that "fits" when there's a back story and a personality behind that name!

And by the way, he is such a handsome kitty-bear! As is Cody.

blueyedgirl5946 · Apr 3, 2010

The only one of the names I saw that I like is Riley. BUT I like Teddy for him. He does look snuggley.

alenalbert · Apr 3, 2010

consider suggestion below

Cat names in any language:

a. Neko (Japanese)
b. Miu (Chinese)
c. Pussi (Eskimo)
d. Koshka (Russian)
e. Besseh (Arabic)

What about Yogi, like in Yogi Bear? Or maybe BooBoo. I always loved Yogi and BooBoo cartoons as a kid

jacintamarie · Apr 4, 2010

Looks like a ladie's man, how bout Romeo? Romey for short?

jazzythecat · Apr 4, 2010

Carlos? That name just popped into my head ;]
Storm? This name doesn't really fit with him but he is sort of a dark shade of brown ;]

If I can think of more I'll edit this post ;]

fifi1puss · Apr 5, 2010

After seeing his photo I am thinking Sammy is a good name. He is such a big handsome kitty.

or what about Andy?

I second that. I'm a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and all my crew have middle names (because 3 our of 4 came to me named) after characters from movies on that show. My two boys are big Maine Coon mixes so they're named after two big lumbering characters - Rowsdower and Mitchell. I let their behavior dictate who they get named after. For example I had my heart set on "Marfruska" (the evil stepsister in "Jack Frost", a Russian take on Cinderella) but I took one look at Chloe and knew she was too small and sweet for that! She wound up being the Cinderella-like Nastenka from the same movie.

My list of possible names, open for suggestions!
