Name for kittens!?

Question

Hi! My sister and I are getting a new kitten in 5 days! We havn't given it a name yet what should we call it? So far we have (for names) Shade or Mischeif. We like both of them we just don't know which one! Please help us!

Answer 1

well, i'm pretty good at naming critters but i have to know a little about them, at least what color and what gender.
for instance my ol' girl cat's name is Freida Needlefeet. i had a squirrel named Philbert Limbleaper and a doe fawn named Dana Lottadots. (i do wild animal rehab)

i think you should hold off naming your new friend until you meet him/her. your new friend will likely inspire you to chose the perfect name.

Answer 2

I like Mischeif best - if it's a boy you could call him Cheif for short and if it's a girl you could call her Missy. As for waiting until you actually get a kitten to see its personality prior to deciding on a name... I did that and my kitten ended up named "Mitten." We took so long trying to decide on a name and kept calling her Kitten. She started responding to Kitten (now she comes running when we say it) so we had to come up with a name that rhymed with it. So, moral of the story, either choose a name beforehand or choose one shortly after getting your kitten. Don't rely on personality names too much because a kitten's personality develops and changes until it is about 4 months old.

Answer 3

What I like to do for names are pick dictionary words, which meanings are important for the situation. I have also been looking for cat names. If you're only getting one kitten make sure to spend time with it. I would consider getting a pair so they can have a constant playmate. =D (They are amusing to watch.)

Calamity
Chaos
Crisis
Collision
Catastrophe
Adversity
Affliction
Aphotic (I actually had to look this up, it means without light; lightlessness.)
Fate

Those are some names which mean something to my cats new kittens (situation wise.) Maybe they will help?

Answer 4

I always wait til i get the kitten and get used to it's personality..then i chose a name ..that fits that personality...cause if you name a kitten mischeif...and it lays around all day..
then it would be better to name it Lazy...

Answer 5

Mischief is a good name as long as you spell it correctly. However if you are going to name a cat before you get it, it's probably best to give it a regular name, because "Shade" might imply that it was dark, and the kitten might be white, etc. I named my cat Joey.

Answer 6

I have a dog and it is named shady a cat i guess could be called shadow but not really shade plus it couldn't like be an orange cat. Misheif sounds like a really good name for any cat and i think that its a cuter name

Answer 7

Both names are yucky! Sorry. Give the cat a real name - like a human name. If it's a female, name it Maya. If it's a male, name it Max.

Answer 8

Awwww he sounds soooo cute listed under are some names: Pumpkin, Pounce, Tiny, Sand, courageous or Braver, ambitious, braveness, Cloud, massive, huge and maximum excellent. desire those names help you elect your kittens call!

Answer 9

I personally have to get to know a cat before I name it. My mom works in cat and dog rescue and my parents have quite a few cats and I have named most of them after I got to know them.

Including Richard, Stanley, Ginger, Simon, Lucy, Gracie, Penny, Emma, Boris, and Chester.

Answer 10

sorry but those names kinda really suck no offense u should really try to know what the cats personality is then you can nam eit. cuz you might name it mischief but it could really have a good obediant mind or something like that so get to know the cat before you name it
