I have found 'common' people names to not be so good for my pets. It's get awkward hilarious when you have coversations about 'Bob puking on the livingroom floor" and such.
fixed I have a friend who named her dog Emma. And then ended up marrying an Emmie. That's confusing but also funny. My aunt's name is Rita. They had a bulldog named Litte Rita. |

I really wanted to name Jackson Toby instead. But Thing 1 insisted we had to name him either Jackson or Cash.

They are beautiful, but to my eye Rosie looks sweet and not sure who she will be whereas the kitten named Rolf looks pretty hardcore and determined. He also has that black mark on his chin that makes him look like he has a small beard and he is secretly the incarnation of some hardcore German like Freud but less famous. Striking. Will be interesting to see how they grow and change like MPL's kittens did. (My name suggestions TBD) |

When I was a kid, we had a litter with two sets of twins. We named them Eeny, Meeny, Miney, and Mo!  |

Your description captures my thoughts and makes me lean towards Bianca and Bernard.

My cats get full names. They have too much personality to be stuck with something lame, like Fluffy or Smoky. I have Katt von Cat and Henry Chinaski. Sadly, Henry passed away last Friday. I miss him so much. He was such an amazing little buddy.
When i am ready we most likely get another male cat. He needs to be a beta male since Katt is the alpha pet. His name would be Charlie Asher, from one of my favorite books, A Dirty Job.
I also like cat pun names. Cat Benetar, Catrick Stewart, etc.

A friend of mine gives all her foster cats distinguished old names - Nora, Lenore, Marcel, Rupert, Allister, Margo, etc.
Recent foster siblings were Sloth and Chunk.

Take a look at Beth Stern's Instagram account. Howard names the fosters.
I've usually gone with Beatles related names. I now have Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.
When I had a male and female, it was Sir AbbeyRoad and Lady Paulie McCartney

I like Ferris Mewler - but can't think of a good "girl" name to go with it.
I have found 'common' people names to not be so good for my pets. It's get awkward when you have coversations about 'Bob puking on the livingroom floor" and such.
Also remember your pet will most likely be "PetName" your last name at the vet (and may get mail with that name on it).
Choose wisely.
 I like Ferris Mewler too. Why not just come up with a girl cat name that fits the girl cat? Since they are brother and sister they could be Ferris and Jeanie Mewler. Or the girl could be Sloane Caterson or Cateron Frye. |

I'm also polling friends and family, some front runners include: • Bianca and Bernard (Bee and Bernie) from rescuers down under, appeals to their distinguished marking
• Aurora (my girls would love the princess reference) and I could call her Rory which I really wanted for a kids name but my last name starts with R - Phillip and Eric aren't cool enough for the boy, could get on board with Borealis (Bo)
• Lorelai (Rory) and Luke - Cosmos and Chaos
- Odd and Even (Odie and Eve) - appeals to my inner math nerd, DH isn't so thrilled
Feedback?
I love Cosmos and Chaos. I actually might have to steal one of those for my next furbaby |

Our last cat definitely had a full name. Middle names can be left to the kiddos

Does that make Cosmos the girl? DH isn't sure Chao is appropriate given they haven't fully developed personalities yet. I think it would be funny if Chaos ended up being a lazy lump who never, ever caused trouble.

I always end up putting a silly word on the end of my cats' names (not on purpose it just sort of happens spontaneously as time goes by), like Denny doodle

Hmmm.. what about Linus and Lucy (my coworker's cats... )
or Lisa and Bart
or Pebbles and BamBam
Or maybe Willow and Xander (if you are a Buffy fan)
or Scully and Mulder
Or maybe Dot and Pip (they are spotted kittens)
OK I really want to suggest "T" and "MT" for Trouble and More Trouble... but I'm sure they will be well behaved cats. |
