I'm getting that new cat I've been wanting and she's a short hair, white girl with a black spec on her nose. Her eyes are yellow/green. The list so far is,
Raiu/Ryu
Tati
Mew
Bianca
Viera
Dutchess
Mana
Boo
Chai
Clover
Button
Minx
Arlo
Faye


I like the name keko but it got shot down by the missus. I'm pretty stumped on what to name this new 🐝🐝

    I like Bianca or Viera. I'm a sucker for pets with people names. My cats are named Sherlock, Martha, and Irene

    I like Chai. I think if I get another cat, I will name it Waffles. I don't know why, I just like the idea of a cat named Waffles.

    There is a group on facebook called Cats with Average Human Names. I don't have Facebook anymore, but when I did that was my favourite.

    just give it a name void of any vowels

    ..... it's not like it's going to respond when you call it, anyway.

    I have two cats.
    Naming the first was easy: Houdini, because he kept trying to escape.

    Second one was tricky: he already had a name, which we didn't like (Basil).
    I prefer real names, so I looked at a lot of names of famous people, literary characters, characters of our favorite shows,... but it was hard to find a name that sounded OK to say out loud and that seemed to fit his personality.
    After weeks of deliberating, we settled on Ziggy.

    In your list, I quite like Faye and Arlo (but to me Arlo seems more like a male name?).

    My cat was called Arlo, he was my boy.

    My cats usually have human names, such as Sam, Lizzie, and Dot, but my oldest I called Smokey because when he was a kitten, he looked like a little bear cub. My youngest technically has a human name Sadie May, but ended up with the nickname Little Bit which has pretty much became her name - that or Bits.

    With the black spot on the nose, I'd think Buttons would be appropriate, except for what that would likely end up shortened to. I like Bianca as well, which seems to be a fitting name for a white cat.

    I suppose you could always call it Spot!

    Boop 😁 cause you won't be able to resist booping her on the nose when you see that little black fleck on her nose.

    Out of your list, I like Chai the best, followed by Ryu. Someone else mentioned Harley; like that one too.
    My dogs both came named already, people names Holly and Josie.

    There’s a fluffy black cat at one of the cat cafes named waffles. He was in consideration.

    I did get Arlo from a male name list but to me it feels unisex.

    I don’t have a picture yet and we’re picking her up tonight so I’ll probably update tomorrow.

    I like Tati - the actress Tati Gabrielle seems very catlike to me.

    how about freya or alaska or tiki or lythalia

    This is pretty...don't know if I pronounce it right, but it's really pretty. Kinda dramatic, and I like dramatic names for cats.

    random thought...reminds me of the dramatic name I named my kitten who was "the only thing I wanted for my 18th b-day"
    ...sweet memories:heart:
