Sarah CB Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) We pick up two new kittens next week and we're very excited. They're Bengals so they kind of look like leopards. I'd like to find fitting names for them but am having a hard time coming up with ideas. Eta: One is a boy and one is a girl. Dh was thinking Starbuck and Apollo.

Starr Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I don't know if Ping and Pong will be dignified enough as they mature but it really fits kittens. :D Can't wait for pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 OK I will be on a few times (sorry, daughters are in a naming mood now, names will start flying LOL). dd in 2nd grade says coke and pepsi. DD is 6th says ying and yang (a little good in all bad and a little bad in all good-- she says that fits kittens to a T!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy101 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Brimstone and Sulfura Polka and Dot (you said they look like leopards right?) call the boy Sue and the girl Fred Alexander (the Great) and Catherine (the Great) Arthur (or Lancelot) and Genevieve what's the Latin word for cat?? What's the egyption word for cat?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 We have quite a few favourites snip. What are some? Maybe combining attributes and authors or last names could work. I like when pet names have meaning to a family, and aren't chosen just for the cute factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela in ohio Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Spot and Dot (we like ironic names) Leopard and Tiger (the boy would be Leopard, of course) I also think Tigris and Euphrates is clever!:001_smile: Antony and Cleopatra seems fitting, too.

Sarah CB Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 So far I really like Antony and Cleopatra - they could be Tony and Cleo for short. I wish I could add to the poll as there are a few other choices that have been suggested that I'd add. Here's a link to pictures of Bengals from the breeder we're using: http://www.majesticpridebengals.ca/Cattery.html I think dh is still in the "Tarzan and Jane" camp because those are jungle names and we're getting jungle cats :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2denj Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) How about Charlotte and Wilbur Oh, I just saw your pictures of the kittens and they are definitely Tarzan and Jane! So cute! Edited May 4, 2010 by mom2denj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb_ Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Oh they are too, too cute for words. It must be Tarzan and Jane. No other name could possibly fit that well. We have two goofy cats called Minimus (tiny, gray Siamese mix) and Milo (looks like the albino verson of the movie Milo). I was rooting for Milo and Otis but alas Mus already came home from my daughter's campus with a name attached. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 My dd would love a set of Bengals but we have to stick to the rescues for pets. She suggested Speckles and Spot Or Leo and Jag (short for Leopard and Jaguar the two wild cats she says they look like) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 KALI pronounced Kar-li, is the name of an Indian Goddess (accent on Kar). BAGHEERA is Hindustani for a panther or leopard. It is a sort of diminutive of BAGH, which is Hindustani for `Tiger'. Pronounced Bug-eer-a (accent on the eer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
