It looks like a lot of people like "PEARL", doesn't it?
Perla is the Italian word for pearl. That's pretty too.

She's a very beautiful girl no matter what you choose!
Hello, i just joined this site today and saw this post on the main page. I'm pretty odd with my pet naming as well; derived from a dream or usually after watching them for a week or so and naming them for their personalities. My most recent addition is an adorable stray i brought in and doctored up. I get the feeling she may have had run ins with aggressive birds while she lived outdoors because she is forever looking up and over her shoulder; made even funnier when i brought her indoors and she discovered ceiling fans, lol (not a fan of them). Long story short i named her Kitten Little (like chicken little) because the poor thing acts as if the sky is falling! Now that being said i have no suggestions for this beauty's name, lol sorry!
There's nothing wrong with "odd" names I say. My cats are named Boogie Bear, Sgt. Pepper and Jumbo! I think Pearl or Cookie would be fitting names for her. I'd pick True instead of Trudi, but that's just because I don't usually like people names for pets. Lots of people love them though. I think you'd just have to call her whichever name comes naturally. It'll just feel like, yes, that's your name.
Ok ok, so i DO have a suggestion now. As you mentioned you like sea themes i noticed her markings on her back look a bit like a saddle for a horse, so maybe something of a nod to a sea-horse? "Hippocampus" is the latin and scientific term for sea-horses so perhaps a play on that? "Hippo-Camp" maybe? And "Hippo" or "Hipster" for short?Hello, i just joined this site today and saw this post on the main page.

*AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW*
What a pretty little girl! No wonder she doesn't like ceiling fans! My cats' names come to me in similar ways.
My second to last addition is named "Simon", and i know i sound crazy but he told me his name lol. He was stray and was staring at me through the fence when the name just popped in my head. I say "c'mere lil' Simon..." And the rest is history...
Not "crazy" at all, IMHO. Cats tell you their names if they trust you.
Welcome to TCS @WeAreMany. Your kitties are adorable!!!
I have different ways of choosing names too. In fact one of my kitties told me his name too. That was Sammy. My DD wanted to name him Benny but every time she would call him that he would look at me like "Why does she keep calling me THAT name?" The name Sammy entered my mind and I spoke it out loud and he came bouncing over to me. That told me that his name was Sammy and it stuck. He was given to me as a kitten and the people I got him from just called him kitty.
I pick names based on their personality most times and others the name just comes to me, like the cat/kitten sends it to me.

Back to our little girl. She is so exotic looking. This name may a little too out there for you. but I like Jatani--Zambian for "Let's hold hands together, work together, go forward together. What a wonderful word.
My daughter loves Hindi words and she said this word means kitten.... Bilauta
I'm not sure if these are actual because she got them out of a book she was reading about a Hindi family but they are beautiful names.
Iadala- dear one
Priya- my beloved
Sundari- most beautiful

Pearl is sweet. I'll toss some your way. Holly. (ocean related) Wave. Curl. Blue. Salty. Bay. Bae (internet slang for baby). Ripple.
I have had cats my whole life and what ever "official" names I give them they always end up having about 6 other ones. I wouldn't worry too much about what you name her.
You have a very pretty girl there. Congrats on your new fur baby.

Why give the kitty a name? Why not just give her initials?
You could call her "Dee-Dee."
It's pronounced "Dee-Dee" but you spell it "D.D."
When people ask what D.D. stands for, you say it doesn't stand for anything. Just "D.D."
I had a cat that I called "K.C."
People asked me what "K.C." stood for... "Krazy Cat?" ... "Kool Cat?" ... "K.C. Jones?" ... "Killer Cat?"
I just told them that "KC" just stood for "KC." It took some people a while to catch on.
I got the idea from watching the old TV show, "M•A•S•H"
From the character "B.J. Honeycut"... There was an episode where everybody was trying to figure out what "B.J" stood for but, in the end, they found out that "B.J" didn't stand for anything but "B.J."
You could call her "BB" (Bee-Bee) "CC" (See-See) "DD" (Dee-Dee) or any combination of letters you think sounds good.
If you STILL can't decide on a name, I suggest you consult T.S. Eliot...
----------
The Naming Of Cats by T. S. Eliot
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter--
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum-
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover--
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

I had a cat we called CC for Crazy Cat. That works too.
I have to agree with T. S. Elliott, my Zander has a second name that I call her a lot, which is Punk. Not in a bad way but short for Punkin, which I also call her. LOLIf you STILL can't decide on a name, I suggest you consult T.S. Eliot...

Lilith is also Baby Lily, Lily Belle and Little Belle
Sophie is also Sophiesaurus which we shortened to Saurus and she is also Kitten because she is the youngest.
Henry is also Brother or Buddy
Bailey (border collie) is Harold when she is acting like a cranky old man which at her age (just about 14) is often. She DOES answer to Harold.
