<![CDATA[Help with kitten names!]]>It is a tradition at my shelter (and it seems generally) to choose a theme and then name all the kittens in a litter by that theme.

We’ve used:
Greek Myths
Pot strains
Gems
Star Trek Captains

Please give me ideas for more themes so I have a place to go when my mind freezes up!

(Number made up.) How would you know which of the two were THE ONES to be them???

This is mostly because I want to know how you’d determine the ones to be named Norwood and Cristoph.

Husband says Spices MAYBE for our newest liter. If the Nuggets win the NBA finals though, they will be named things like “Mr. Jokic” and such.

I am not a huge fan of food names because they have ALL been done before. I reeeallly wanted Lord of the Rings but he said no.

Any more ideas out there?

EDIT: Actually, you don’t need people thinking that’s a Disney reference. Never mind.

Thank you, but if you think of more, please share!!

I tend to name my critters based upon what personality they show. So they go nameless for a little while. (Aside from comebackhere! and such)

Though he’s across the rainbow bridge now, my Bear earned his name because he was an all black void with a habit of standing on his rear legs, and front paws would dangle between his legs much like a black bear.

They started as Pyre, Phoenix, and Hestia, but we got pushback for pyre being morbid and had to change them. So now they are bear themed:

Heartbroken forever

Bear Adjacent?

Cindy (Gee Yogi!), Koala, (I’m Australian, Close enough for kttens) Drop (Also close enough)

Her personality so far: Purr box with a loud voice. Likes to adventure and doesn’t seem afraid of much. Likes her crunchy food more than wet, and eats by burying her face in the dry food and eating whatever moves between her lips when she moves them up and down.
