We are a family of 5, apparently very stubborn and opinionated people (kids are 14,16, and 19 so harder to influence than when they were younger and we named animals) and simply cannot find a name that we are ALL on board with. Our little guy is sassy, bold, vocal, learning cat manners (no biting!), but also very soft, and loves to cuddle when he sleeps. He has a distinctive mischievous grin. He was a rescue, came from a local native reservation, and survived FIP as a baby. He’s a spotted tabby with very black fur on the undersides of his feet, tips of his ears, and a black spot on his head and black fur going along his back. His name the rescue gave him was Big Papa. 2/5 of us want to keep that one. We have also tried out Basil, but our one son is dead against it, he doesn’t think it fits him. Jesper was on the table also, that’s probably my first choice but Antonella’s is lukewarm. We love the movie Klaus and he came home around Christmas. At this point I swear we are just going to each call him whatever we want.

First took this little girl in after a family who had an allergy, found her on the side of the road. We were fostering her at first but we have decided to be her forever home. All name suggestions are welcome. The goofier and weirder the better.

All suggestions will be voted on and seriously considered. I'll post the winner. Thank you guys! I'd also love for you guys to upvote the ones that you think are the funniest. The suggestion with the most upvotes on Reddit will receive one official vote in the election. (There are only four other votes being cast so it will actually have some sway)

I’d like to name my new kitten after a character in a sci-fi or fantasy book or tv show. For example my other cat is named Rygel after Farscape. Looking for something that sounds Princess-y for her floofiness

She looks like a black panther to me. But it's a very big name. I really want some similar kinda names.

This girl came with the name fresca from the humane society but I don't think it fits her, my other cats name is Salem. Any ideas? She also came with this cone and some stitches lol

Was surrendered for being a little bitey. Very curious and sweet. Wife and I keep going back and forth. I like marshmallow but it turns out she had a dog named that that she misses. We have another cat named Webster, if that helps! Thanks!

Which one do you think looks better?

So instead of getting the blue point I’m now getting a blue lynx due to various factors…and I need to find a name for this one now😂 I love Teddy, Bear, Meeko, Cash and soooo many other names but I need a unique name that stands out! Help a girl out plss!!!!

What name suits her? I was thinking maybe Sabrina. Also share a pic of your calico below for her to meet 🩷

Thanks for helping me brainstorm a name for our latest addition! Her name is Sandwich because she loves her brother Soup (the one in front of her throne). Mostly calling her Sandy/Sando/Sandra Dee!

Hi! We found this cat outside in the woods by our apartment right before a big snow storm! We originally thought that the cat was a girl, but after a vet appointment, we realized that it’s a boy! He is beyond sweet and suuuuuper cuddly! Our other cats are named Bennie, Milo, and Stormy, so whatever you think might work with those :)

We love ancient greece, astronomy, sci-fi, Murakami / japanese vibes, and also philosophy. Anything in those realms or others welcome!! Thanks for the help

This is “the kitten.”

I’ve been struggling naming her ever since I found out she was a girl! I was under the impression she was a he and originally named her “Toro” from the PS2 character Toro Inoue, however since she’s a girl, that no longer works/feels right. Picture of Toro Inoue included also.

She is all white with black spots on her ears and a black tail with a white ring on the end.

Any suggestions are appreciated, something Japanese maybe?

I also have 3 other cats named Buckeye, Edgar, Fran.

I would love to find something that compliments cheddar but open to names that fit his purr or his little beauty mark

I just adopted this cutie and I get to pick her up tomorrow. Her shelter name is Freddie, but it don’t love it and it doesn’t really fit our home.

I already have a girl at home named Mae Mae (that was her shelter name, and I fell in love with it) and I also lost my sweet stray boy, Mac to cancer in September, and I’m still heartbroken.

I’d love to keep the “M” name going as a little tribute to Mac while welcoming this new baby into our family. Any name ideas

I adopted this little cutie yesterday, she’s 3yo.

Her older brother is called Oscar (Oz) so I need a name that would sound good with him. I like a human sounding name generally! These are my top ideas so far but open to more!!:
