Hi guys! So I got a kitten about two weeks ago and I'm TOTALLY in love with her. The only problem is that I've changed her name a million times since receiving her because I can't seem to deduce one that fits her!
A little about her: she is mostly white with black spots. Her most identifiable spots are above her lip is a spot that resembles a beauty mark, and on her head is a big spot with three little ones that reminds me of a footprint.
She is very elegant and sleek, but also super spunky and inquisitive. She also has a certain mystical quality about her which I like.
I'm really drawn to more mystical names and I've considered Luna, but i feel that it is more befitting for a black cat. I also like Willow, but I also don't feel that it fits her.
Please help! What do you think she looks like?

I don't have any name suggestions off the top of my head, but I wanted to say hi and welcome to TCS!  Your kitten is adorable.

I foiund over the years and dozens of cats, i am 70, the best wat to name a cat is let him/her name her/himself. Example: A beautiful orange tabby kitten missing a front leg named Sweetie pie. Well after a few weeks sweetie pie turned into stinky pie because of the horrible gas she had as a result of the operatiobn. Then over time that changed to piggy pie then piglet as she had a voracious appetite and the gas went away. Now Piglet is three years old and still loves her food. At this point she will likely be Piglet for ever

Isabella,  Zsa Zsa, (ie, Zsa Zsa Gabor from years ago),   Whitney (all the white in her, while at the same time  feminine, rather than "whitey" ),  Portia, Suzie,

Or Cindy, Cynthia, CC (for Cindy Crawford), Cinderella.

I don't know, I'm not good at names either but she sure is cute!

How about Nya or Nala?

Isabella is a very elegant name!
 And Bella for short.

She's cute. I would call her "Inky" or "Sumi" if she were mine 'cause she looks like she's been in the inkwell with those wonderful black spots. "Sumi" is ink in Japanese.

First of all, she is just gorgeous. I don't know how "other worldly" this would but she looks like a "Daphne" She was an imp that was turned into a laurel bush to save her from the amorous pursuit of Apollo.

How about that?

Wow, thank you everyone for your lovely suggestions and your compliments! I didn't expect to have this many responses! All of your ideas were just wonderful. I'm very gracious that you all took your time to comment here and give me your thoughts. 

@betsygee  Thanks so much!

@Ginny  Beautiful name and actually very fitting! I, however, tend to favor shorter names- but nonetheless a great idea and thanks for your response!
@foxxycat  Thanks! Dainty is really the perfect word to describe her. 

@bfloyd4445  Very true & beautiful babies. Great & funny stories as well. Thank you (:

@mazie  Fantastic suggestions! I was actually considering Isabella or Isobel, but I actually have a dog named Bella already.

@Pegleg  I agree, and that's just the kind of name that I'm drawn to, though I actually had a cat pass away this last year named Daisy so it kind of brings up bad memories for me right now. Beautiful name & suggestion however, thank you!

@Verna davies  Those names have just the ambience that I was looking for, though none of them really click with her. Thanks for your response though, I really appreciate it!

@haleyds  Marilyn and Monroe were two of the first names which I actually considered! Monroe just doesn't have the right sound. Marilyn is cute & befitting, but it just doesn't apply to her for some reason. Thanks for your response nonetheless!

@Ginny  Cindy Crawford came to mind when I first purchased her too! Unfortunately for me, the name Cindy has some negative memories attached- I have an aunt named Cindy who I despise, haha. Great suggestions though, thanks so much!

@Lyrajean  I had never even considered the inkwell idea, clever! I actually LOVE the name Inky for her- it's cute but it also has a certain fun quality to it. It fits her appearance and it's easy  to call out. It doesn't necessarily have the mystical quality I was going for, but I really love it nonetheless and it is at the top of my list now. Thanks so much for your suggestion!

@chasing Grady  Daphne is beautiful and has  a nice ring to it, it just doesn't 'click' with her. Thanks for your response, though, as well as the mythology lesson! Luci is such a cute name and tuxedo cats are adorable. I'm sure she is a doll.
 

I'd like to thank everyone again for taking the time to read & reply to me. I loved all of your suggestions. One really seemed to fit her perfectly, however, and that was Inky! I think the name is just so playful and endearing, so that's what I've decided to name her!!
