      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!

        @junipersky I only have a couple suggestions:

        Norse deities
        Egyptian deities

              Devils and demons, preferably with names you can make cat puns of
              Lead characters of whatever series you’re binging
              Authors who have written poems about cats

                          Admittedly this will mean you have twenty-something cats named John…

                                Our cats were all named after Russian monarchs and our dogs after Shakespeare characters…

                                Then we got a cat I insisted on naming Jane Pawsten.

                                  Cats named Innocent? Talk about a misnomer.

                                      @junipersky There must always be one cat in a litter named ‘Bandit’ cuz cats are jerks and why not name one a jerk officially?

                                        So we have TEN kitties that need names.

                                        2 gray with cream tabby marking mamas (sisters, basically twins)
                                        1 black (tiny white dot on chest) teenage girl
                                        1 back tiny baby boy
                                        1 black and cream tiny tabby baby boy
                                        5 various shades of tiny full gray/gray tabby (4 boys, 1 girl)

                                        There are lots of good ideas in this thread but I can’t come up with 10 full names!

                                        Another possibility is giving mamas a theme name, then the teenager, and then the 4-week-old babies

                                        Also we could theme mama and her 7 babies, then another for her sister and her teenage baby.

                                          There may be some crossover there.
