New Kitten - Names?

Hey all!
We just got a new kitten (not my fault they were giving them away for free yesterday and I love kittens - plus anything to keep them from the pound)
I think the new kitten is a girl but wont be sure until a vet tells us, when we take he/she/it in for first check-up and shots.
Our dilemma is what to name it, Im not too worried about gender specific. I like names from literature, movies, video games... you name it. We already have a cat named Johnny Drama and dogs: Beetle and Jacinto.
What are your favorite names from movies, literature, games... whatever - doesnt even have to be a cat name! I am trying to keep this cats name from being Kraken (DH's fav name).
We thought of Buttercup from Hunger Games - but kitten is white/grey.... and DH said no to Crookshanks from Harry Potter

Re: New Kitten - Names?

  • I like names that are not normal for a cat to have.  My cat's name is Sharon - yes, a middle-aged woman's name.  I've also been itching for a boy cat that I could name Bruce.  
  • Like Bruce Willis? Or do you just like the name?

  • Azreal, cat from the Smurfs.(spelling may be wrong)
  • A friend of mine has a cat named Walter, which i think is amazing lol

    I must like human names because both of my babies have them- one i named and one came with his.

    Our cat is Sam, and he was named this by the little boy who had him before us.  Our dog is Ben, we tried to come up with all these cool names b/c Ben is a tough dog, BUT alas we fell upon Ben and loved it.

    I like Scarlett, Isabella, or Natasha for a female kitten.

    ETA: My new kitten (a sphynx) is named Cleocatra.

    Well,  oddly enough whenever we go to Sam's club, there's a guy named Bruce that is always checking receipts, and every time I see him I think "Man, that would be a good name for a cat."  
  • Pics plz. :)  I like people names for pets.

  • Thanks for all the suggestions!! We were going through names last night when the kitten tore threw the house like a tornado and came up with Tasmanian Devil, with Taz for short. Seems to fit that kitten perfectly! We liked all the names everyone came up with too, and were picking a boy and girl name for when we go to the vet - then the tornado went through the living room. I couldnt get a good picture of the tornado, so these are the rare sleeping moments. The picture where Taz is curled up with DH that is Taz's tail, its so cute, this cat has white paws and the rest looks like it got into soot or something.

  • awww the kitten is cute! Taz is a cute name for either a boy or girl

  • This kitten has my 60 pound Boxer wrapped around its paw! No joke, that kitten is calling the shots with both my dogs and my 3 year old cat!
    ~E~
  • Taz is adorable! He (or she) is a really cute kitten and is going to grow into a stunning cat. Really stunning!

    @LuckyAngel07 - It's one of my favorite names for a cat. I took it from Dragon Age, which is one of my favorite video games. And I'm sure any cat would love to be called "Ser." They are, after all, our masters!
