We just adopted two kittens. However, we can't come up with any names we like. Any suggestions. They are both female, but we don't really care about gender specific names. Thanks!

"Neko" is the Japanese word for "cat"......if I were getting a cat I would probably name it neko.

Since you have two cats I might stay with the Japanese and call the other one Ohayo (pronounced similar to OHIO (with the "Y" sound before the final O)

With what Elston suggested, "Ebi" is shrimp in Japanese. Good if one kitten is smaller than the other maybe.

How about Red and Sox?

What kinds of cats are they? What do they look like? Are they inside cats or ourside cats or both? What kind environment do they live in? How did you feel when you got them? How do you feel now?

What is your favorite fantasy novel?

I usually chose names on the basis of some of the above pices of information. We had several pets with names from Lord of the Rings, or from CS Lewis' Narnia novels. We had one that we names Rudolf Nureyev(Nurri for short), hoping that by giving him a ballet dancer's name woul decrease his incredible klutziness.

My cats are mostly named something that relates to how or when or where they came to live with me...

I have Harker (who hijacked my truck on Harkers Island, NC), Jackson (from Jacksonville, NC), 13 (I usually don't spell it out) who we got on Friday the 13th, Sparky, who was rescued from the engine compartment of a neighbor's truck (did NOT want a cat named "Ford"). There is Sherrie (after the Sheraton Hotel in Atlantic Beach, NC... the remaining one of three ferals that were neutered by the Kindness Clinic -- a mobile spay-neuter clinic that my partner worked for at the time. The other two, Abbie (from A.B. Atlantic Beach, and Kindness, after the clinic, have disappeared.. none were ever really tamed and happy as house cats and outdoor cats do have a tendency to disappear.) Also there is Moose... a black longhair adopted from fellow CDers, RHB and Forest Beekeeper. He was so named because at least THAT way I would be able to see a moose in Maine (heck, I have one in my bed every night! LOL

We also have Ghost -- formally Grey Ghost because after I rescued her from under a car in the apartment parking lot and brought her inside, she was seldom seen for a good while, and Agnes and Buster -- whose names don't relate to anything. Buster is a polydactyl kitty that also came through the Kindness clinic (the original adopter only wanted the little black female that he was associated with when caught. I let the clinic director talk me into taking him and in our first conversation, I said something like "Well, Buster, what ARE we going to do with you?" and it just seemed to fit. Shortly after he came to live with me, a tiny black kitten just showed up on my back steps! No, it was not "his" black female, but I am pretty sure he "called" to the universe for his missing friend. She just seemed to be an Agnes.

I have also had cats named Moonshadow (shades of grey, markings like a Siamese), Colorado Rocky Mountain Red Cat (Red for short) and Something Else Entirely (called Something Else... he was a semi-long haired black cat that turned grey when you petted him against the grain, turning into something else entirely.

I have also known cats called Dog -- pronounced as dog and also as "dee-OH-gee."
