NBR - New kitten name

I posted this over on the Pets message board but think I might get some ideas here:
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.

    Okay. Don't laugh at this if it's awful. But we just got a new kitten too and I wanted to name her Matilda, from Matilda (obviously), and we would call her Tillie for short. DH didn't like it but liked "illie" so we went with Millie.

  • Darn, I was going to say Crookshanks! I love Scout (from TKAM). Honestly, I think Kraken is cute, so maybe I am not a good judge. ;)

  • I was afraid to name it Dobby or Hedwig because of what happens to them (Im trying to stay spoiler free). I like Scout - thats cute.
    booknerd226 (I still havent figured out how to tag properly) I love the blue eyes - cute kitten!!

  • I have Salem (cat) and Pumpkin (dog).  The Halloween theme was purely accidental.  Pumpkin came with the name and wouldn't respond to anything else.

    I've also had Macy and Molly.  

    More suggestions (these have all appeared in recent books I've read):

    Tonks
    Mia
    Shay
    Tessa

  • I think we need a picture to accurately name ;-)

  • You cant see the eyes because they are closed but the kitten has blue eyes.
    That is how the kitten sleeps with DH.

  • I love that name and thought of it AFTER we named Johnny Drama, since hes a black cat and all! I even had my DH watch Bedknobs and Broomsticks, since he had not seen it.

  • I think that looks like a Luna!

    DH was thinking about Katniss versus Catniss. I think that would be so funny either way!

  • I second Luna!

  • She is a cutey. Reminds me of my friends cats Mushu and Wonton.
    Anniversary
  • Thanks everyone for all the names!! We were reading through the names last night when the kitten tore through the house like a tornado and we both thought of Tasmanian Devil with Taz for short. That name seems to fit perfectly with the little tornado we have. We love the names everyone came up with, and have actually picked some for future pets! DH also loved them and said thanks!
    :x
    The kitten was close to getting Minerva or Mooney for a girl and Figaro or Ezio for a boy!
