Help[Opinions] KITTY
My friend is letting me take care of one of three KITTY CATS she and her boyfriend found until it gets adopted.
It is GRAY.
I do not know if it is a boy or a girl, only that it is a KITTY.
I am going to name it. I am more likely to misname it a girl name and be okay with that than the other way around.
Here is a terrible picture of the KITTY CAT.
Here are some ideas for names.
Earl Grey nn Earl like the parrot in my dream
Minerva
Pegasus
Geraldine like the villain from that poem Christabel
Leoline like the father from Christabel
Leopold like Mozart's father
Oh gosh I'm so excited. I'm going to edit names continually. I would like you guys to post suggestions and I will draw inspiration from them. Thaaanks
Kubla Khan
Mystic Virtue
Tallis
Sibyl but Sibyl is my name
Griselda but goes by Griselda and is called Zelda only sometimes
Mirfak - oh my god I'm totally naming it mirfak
Paxil
Stan after stan who really hates cats a whole lot
Lilavati
Cicero
Ned
Phaedra prn Faydra
Salome
Mendel or Mendelssohn
Maus
Glaucus, that is a cool one!
Leporello
Wozzeck
Figaro
Bartolo
Papageno or papagena
Tamino
Galatea
Galilea
Elvira
Zerlina
Balthasar
Bathsheba
Lambert
Thisbe
Primrose after William Primrose
Albert
I want some trippier damn names
Aquarius
Freedom Freedom
uhh Dharma
Polynesian Rosehips
Ok I need some suggestions

Worst day ever. I texted my c-word friend that I couldn't find it and she came over and got it out from under the stove and took it back, because I'm clearly too irresponsible to own a cat because I didn't close the door to the room I put her in.

I'm sorry, Sibyl/Emma (not sure what you go by now :) . Hopefully you're able to get a kitty of your own, soon. Have you thought about adopting from a shelter, perhaps?
1
Gee, your friend is kind of a jerk.
Obviously didn't want to give up the cat in the first place. Lame.

She's just really self-righteous and motherly. It's actually pretty normal for the cat to be under the damn stove for the first day, I didn't expect her to come over and take it back. And as she was leaving she got all sigh-y over the fact that I was upset. Like, yeah, it's a little embarrassing.

My husband's old cat hid behind his fridge for a whole week when she moved in. She must know you felt insulted, but she ought to have to respond to it too. I hope you told her.
Well, at least you had not given it a name yet. That would have made it worse.
Poor kitty.

Yeah. I hope she posts about this on reddit and gets schooled in how totally normal it is for cats to hide. She definitely knew I felt insulted - I was in no state to go on about it, but she got her digs in where she could. Really odd. I don't want to see her anymore.
They were calling it "Luna." They can call it Luna all f*cking day.

Brought kitten home. She's so quiet and little and wise. She's also hiding - completely vanished! I'm not much closer to naming her. I'll wait until she settles in a bit and says hello.

The kittens are adorable!
I think most names on your list sound good.

Thanks! My friend posted another pic. In this one, kitty looks like total nutcase.

Ummm....let's see here. I think the cat looks most like a Minerva or a Pegasus. But it you want more:) :
Starshine (Good morning, starshine/The Earth says hello/You twinkle above us/We twinkle below.... From "Hair" the most hippie musical ever!)
Twila or Twyla-I don't know, it reminds me of stars...
Thora-Cause it's a cool name. The God of thunder is a cool namesake. :)
Wilhelmina-Seems like the cat could pull it off. Maybe you could call her Mina for short.
Janis-For Janis Joplin, of course
Isis-Just seems like a cat name. :)
Nirvana
Nimbus or Cumulonimbus
Smoke
Wisteria
Astrid
Velvet
Ouida
Oona
Andromeda-Again, with the stars connection. This cat just really reminds me of stars!
Ursula
Starlight, if you don't like Starshine

Bellatrix
Circe
Freya
Honoria
Hecate

Mnemosyne (Nee-mo-sih-nee; a Titanic goddess of memory)

Hah. Fun names! Joan is indeed very gray. I like a lot of them but my very favorite is Musidora - this name makes my heart dance! I always forget about it.

Those are very nice.

Name it Smoky. Or Little Smoky. Or Smoky Jo/Joe.

I will not.

KITTY YESSSS.
I like Griselda a lot. I see Griselda as a serene and intelligent sort of moggy though, and not a bouncy cat or a grumpy cat or an insane wall-climbing nutcase cat, so, as mirfak said, wait till you've had her for a day or two. Glaucus is also excellent.

Wtf. I assume those parents really liked cats?

If it's the gray one in the photo, it's female. She looks like our cat Indy. Cool gray with creamier patches. It's a less-pigmented version of the tortoiseshell/calico pattern, orange and black, like the one on the left... cats have to be females to have both orange/cream and black/gray at the same time because the orange gene is on the X chromosome. (Well, unless they're XXY. Rare.)
Mirfak doesn't really roll off the tongue...
I'd wait to name her after meeting her. She might be shy, sly, irritable, hyper, funny, cozy ... you never know.
Shakti
Vitamin (pron. the British way, vih- rather than vie-)
Liadan
Ceniza (sen-EE-sa; ash in Spanish)
Bacchus
Verdandi
Chuchundra (from Rikki Tikki Tavi - a nervous and fearful creature)
Winalot (sry that is a little sick. I'm a cat lover, I just think it's funny and would be a charm name to keep her safe.)
Frangipani

Very cool. Yes, she is a girl - good call. Thanks for the very nice suggestions. How is mirfak pronounced, anyway? I'm saying it like murphy, but mur-phak. sounds awful! but meer-fak really doesn't roll off the tongue at all.

Philandra...?
I "say" it like the first syllable of mirror ... mur if fast, meer if slow.
It's probably really meer-fahk. ?

Awwwwww
My go-to cat names are Posie, Lola, and Lupe. I think it'd be cute to have two cats named Lola and Lupe, like twins.
Off the top of my head...
Nova
Moxie
Sha Sha
Meadow
(apparently this cat's a stripper)
Sonny
Gilbert
Toast (I knew a cat with this name)
Bo
Moirrey
Wimbledon (I know it's a tennis thing but imagine a kitty with this name)
Purrfect
Dolly (after Dolly Parton)
Iris
Thunder (grey cat, grey sky, storms...also I don't think the other cats would mess with him/her)
Cha Cha
I don't know any trippy names...Aquarius is cool.
