Help with kitten names!

junipersky

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

Roz

BMD users

mietze

Jazz musicians
Children’s lit characters
Cheeses
Country musicians
Stand up comedians
Dance moms/real housewives/whatever the hot new trashing reality TV thing is people
Nobel Prize winners
Spices
Types of beans

Possibly no one wants me naming things like this

Since they might have been born in July??? Could name them after firecrackers

Fountain

my go to are onomatopoeias.

Aria

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.

I love you all!!

@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.

TNP

Greek titans
Egyptian gods
Moons of Jupiter
Constellations
zodiac signs

There may be some crossover there.
