How do you go about naming your new kitty?

I don't lol. I will call it kitty. Then when people ask what's is name, I say. I haven't decided yet. "but its been 3 months" "so what do you think I should call kitty?" ...and I use that name when they are around, and a different name for each person. I do not think that names are overly important when it comes to animals, so long as you show love and devotion.

We go for the strangest names :D We started with the politicians that we didn't particularly like, then moved on to the awful telenovelas - we got the leading ladies' names. Now we're into the "he's not what he seems" names. Our cat is named "daga" which means "rat" and our dog (pug breed) was named "kitty". Our (street) dog is called "squid ball" :D the last one was actually the youngest's idea. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I got my cat from a friend and he was already named. He is named fluffdaddy, because diddy was once named puffdaddy. He is a cute cat and his name suits him. I dont know what else I would have named him. If I get another cat I am going to name him Jazzy because I like it and I think it would fit either a male or female kitty.

I give name to new kitty the similar way as yours. I do not rush in give names and I even don't have a time frame. I also name kitties according to their behavior or appearance. when a name comes to my head, I name my kitties. it's on spur of the moment. Last year bought 2 newborn kitties. one looks like a princess when she sits and she is all white, I can call her princess. one was also a she but she was as naughty as a little boy so I called her tomboy.

I have so much passion in felines. I've got my first cat when my exboyfriend gave me one for a gift to me. I named her "Missy" which I thought at first to name her. It sounds good to me. Missy is a siamese cat so lovely and cute! She was just 3 months old then when I got her. From then on, I realized that I would like to put a cattery and before I can do that I must have a tom cat to be Missy's stud partner. Then we bought another tom cat which I named him "Hussy". This tom cat means a lot to me. He's my favorite among all of my cats then. Any idea where I get his name? Well, actually Hussy means "Husband of Missy" (Hu-ssy). And then on, they produce lots of litters and all of them has it's own name. This time, their names are after their color or depending on their character or some of them I named them after the cartoon characters because I run out of names to think about in just one second...*wink*

It wasn't all that long ago that I had the exact same problem. Got two beautiful kittens and had a hell of a time trying to decide not only upon a name I liked, but something my sister liked too. In the end we spent ages looking through baby name sites online, trying to find interesting meanings or fun sounding words. In the end we went for Raven (all black cat) and Cadence (doesn't shut up) though I still wanted to call one of them bobilina, destroyer of worlds, consumer of all the cosmos. Apparently that wasn't appropriate for a cat.....

I think it is a very hard thing to do, I have pnly had two cats I could name as one already had a name, the first one I namrd Smokey because she was a smokey grey colour and the one I have now I called Stumpy because she only has a stump for a tail...people have strange ways of naming animals, I have a friend who always has the same coloured cat which is always a female and it is always called Man so try and work that one out

I have a tendency to name my cats after characters in books. My first cat was Alice after "Alice in Wonderland." My current cat is Rhiannon after the wizard Merlin's sister in "The Lost Years of Merlin." And I called a cat I recently fostered "Lurk" after Zedd's cat in "The Sword of Truth" series. I had one cat, though, who I named K.C. after K.C. Masterpiece barbecue sauce- because when he was a kitten, we were having barbecue and K.C. climbed up my dad's shirt to lick the barbecue sauce off his face.

Sometimes the name can come from the cats character. But we have named our cats after things we like. We have Ozzy who was named after Ozzy Osborne and Oscar and Wilde who were named after the Irish playwright Oscar Wilde. We also have two dogs named Amber and Zack. Zack was named after one of Ozzy Osborne’s guitarists and Amber was after a character in one of out favourite TV shows.

LOL funny name for a kitty. Well mine is no better at first I came up with the name Mickey, but my father in law says, that once the cat finds out it's named after a famous mouse it will claw me LOL. So, now it's name is GW it stands for gray and white LOL,but everyone seems to like that name better.

I always liked to see a pets personality then decide a name. I know it sounds corny but I like to kind of get to know them first. My hubby don't much are for my taste in names but I still like my style. That is me though.

I've never had a pet, but if I had to name one, I'd prolly just choose a random name that I find cute. It most likely would not have anything to do with how the animal behaves at all.

I have always given names to my cats that once belonged to greek gods, olympians, or anyone from ancient literature. I have had cats named Persephane, Dionysus, Icarus. And one big porkchop of a cat i have now namde Zeus.

i name my kitty with my first sight of a beautiful thing, name after it.^_^
