i have two cats - maggie and nigel. maggie is a little old lady, nigel is a spry little guy, only seven months old. my boyfriend has a dog, her name is virginia. we are moving in together soon, so i jokingly refer to them as siblings. we are totally animal people, and have already decided that our next dog will be named indiana. anyway. the boy works at an animal emergency clinic, and has a heart of gold, so nigel is a new adoptee, and now, we have a three day old orphaned kitten who we are raising (bottle feeding, etc) until he is old enough to be adopted out. supposedly.

(yea right)

the little guy looks just like a tiny version of a newborn panda bear, so i have been affectionately calling him panda, but considering the likelihood of him becoming a part of our (ever growing) family is extremely high, i would like to find a name for him that goes well with the others, and panda just doesnt fit. i havent named a pet since i was like ten years old, all the animals ive had have come with their names, so i am finding myself at a loss. if he were a girl, i would probably just take a name from my girls name list, like daisy or stella or something, but i have so few on my boys list, i just dont know. i am stumped. i am looking to you guys for suggestions!

maggie
virginia
nigel
???

thoughts?

ETA: i just looked at my list and am pondering leo, nico, ezra, miles/milo? what do you think? any other suggestions?

Arthur? It supposedly means 'bear' in gaelic. (I know a panda isn't technically a bear but blah!)
