Name my kitten...

[home-to-me.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I don't need a name for an actual baby... just for my kitten baby. My roommates and I adopted a cat about two and a half months ago. Said cat was pregnant (we didn't realize this until we brought her home. Ooops!). We swore we wouldn't keep a baby, but I fell in love with the first one born, a sweet little blonde-colored girl. I finally convinced the roommates that we ought to keep her. But of course, we can't decide on a name for her.

She's the one all the way on the right, with her little arm hanging out. This picture was probably like a week and a half ago... I'd go take another picture of her right now, but I think she's asleep...he's much cuter now. She's the prettiest of the kittens (there's five total. Ugh. Sooo much fun, but more than we bargained for when we found cute stray mama cat and brought her home. Didn't even think we'd end up with HER let alone five babies. All except one of the others have homes lined up though, if anyone's curious). She was the first one born. She's the smallest, but none of them are runts or anything... it's just that the one boy in the litter is a monster, lol. And she has extra toes. haha. This probably shouldn't affect her name (though right now, we call her "Freak Baby"), but it makes her super-special. It's why I picked to keep her. Extra toes like mama cat. :)

The mother cat's name is Phoebe. It took us like three days to come up with a name for her, as we're very indecisive. She's technically my cat, but I wanted something that my roommates and I could all agree on. Same with the kitten. She's mine, and I could call her "Princess Fuzzybutt" if I REALLY wanted to, but I won't. We're all big into names, and think she deserves something pretty. I have a thing for two-syllable names for pets, and think something sort of matchy with Phoebe (and no, all the names from "Friends" and "Charmed" are out of the question, because either we don't like them or one of us plans to use them one day).

Some names that have been tossed around are: Daphne, Chloe, Emma (but I want to use this for a baby one day I think, so I don't think it's a good idea), M'Lynn (from "Steel Magnolias"), Bridget, Grace/Gracie, Charlotte (Charlie?).

Suggestions? Must be actual female names. No "pet" names.

I love so many of those names. A lot of them are on either me or my roommates' name lists, lol. Or their names of our relatives, lol. Of those though, I am throwing Tess, Ella, and Belle/Bella into the possibility pile. :)
