Help[Opinions] Re: name for British Blue kitten
in reply to a message by bagulec
Heh, my boyfriend saw British Blues on a lifestyle show and keeps going on about them (because they're supposed to be really placid, and my kitten is a maniac!).
I don't really like any of your choices - Bailey, Charlie and Jazza are all too trendy and bouncy, Matilda and Gabriela don't sound like cats, and Pola doesn't appeal.
What about:
Dulcie (really liking this)
Connie
Lucy
Bonnie
Bess (really liking this too)
Poppy
Misty
Dusty
Tibby (sorry to our poster Tibby, but it works!)
Millie
Tillie
Bobbie
Chloe
I definitely feel that a British Blue ought to have a very British-sounding name, and right now the trend in England seems to be nicknamey names ending in 'ee' sounds.
Let me know if any of those appeal or feel like the right style for you.

Friendly remark
I know a cat named Matilda & she carries the name so well. We adore it on her & call her Tillie for short which happens to be number 11 on your list. I don't agree that a British Blue should necessarily have a British name. One wouldn't necessarily give a Siamese cat a Thai name because of its Thai origins.

Um . . .
I was stating my opinions and feelings, not laying down facts. If you like & recognise Matilda for a cat, good for you. That doesn't mean I have to like it! And I still don't, despite your opinion differing from mine.
"One wouldn't necessarily give a Siamese cat a Thai name because of its Thai origins."
Yes, but I wasn't talking about Siamese cats or even cats in general. I was talking about British Blue cats, and in their specific case, I feel that they belong best with a very British name. You don't have to agree, it's an opinion.
I'm hardly going to change my opinion just because you don't agree with it! It's presumptuous to ask me to, as well as illogical, since you're not changing your opinion just because I have a differing one.
Please don't try to control other peoples' opinions. You will find that an attitude like that will get you into strife very quickly on these boards. That's a friendly warning :-)
