Look! I have a new friend!!! He showed up around the farm recently and I fed him and he climbed into my lap and now he’s mine! What should I call him?
Here’s another shot of him. He’s so pretty! Make as many suggestions as you like. We’re going out of town this weekend for the holiday, but I’ll be back on Tuesday and we’ll have a family vote on the names and choose one! The winner will receive their pick from my contemporary backlist. 
Shhh!!! Don’t tell Buttercup about this!

I think his name is going to be Dead Meat if Buttercup finds out. (Or will that be your new name?)

Mittens after my kitty that I lost almost four years ago. He was black but he didn’t have the white paws!
He was named after the three little kittens that lost their “mittens”!
11:48
am
So cute! Just from looking at the first picture I have to suggest - Whiskers; Jade; Panda?
12:16
pm
I say Moochie. He seems to be begging for something, Food maybe? He is cute and black so maybe Midnight? Ahh heck Suz, I am no good with names.:wall:
But those are my picks:
Moochie
Midnight.

Panda’s a cute idea.
I always go with the traditional names for my pets. My dog’s name is Sydney and my family’s two dogs when I was growing up were Ramona and Sally.
For some reason, this cat looks like he’s the artsy type, which reminds me of one of my sister’s old boyfriends who played classical guitar, so I’d name him Pepe Romero. But I’d always pronounce it PeePee ROME-ero. Because my sister used to do that to make her boyfriend mad. And I’m just passive-aggressive enough to think that’s really funny and want to immortalize the memory forever in the name of my pet.

Goodness I’ve named so many but it’s hard without knowing his personality.
Mosi - Navajo for cat
Takoda - Sioux for friend
Keiko - Japanese for adored one
Lorcan - Irish for little wild one
PAX - :wink:

Your new cat looks similar to mine. Except mine has fur that is more reddish brown than black. We named her Hershey. She looks like she has a smudge of chocolate on her upper lip.
You could name yours Smore, chocolate and marshmallows mashed together.
4:46
pm
He looks just like my sister’s cat, Oreo. Perfect name!
4:55
pm
It’s kind of hard to name an animal without observing it for a while, but I will go with Silkie. His black color looks like silk.
5:17
pm
How about:
Ace
Leo
Gus
Or since you alread have Buttercup, how about Bubbles or Blossom?
Sorry…couldn’t resist. How is Buttercup handling the new addition?
5:21

Janro( it’s Italian):bananadance:
5:24

Um . . . not good with names.
How about
Precious?
Felix?
5:44

Or maybe
Cuddles?
5:45

How about……
Sugarfoot, or….. Merman
7:46

My 6-year-old nephew suggested Gilbert…not sure where he got that from.
Some more suggestions:
Lou
Deuce
Bandit
Lucky
8:11
pm
I like Felix, too. Maybe Butcher or Killer. :):rotfl:
9:32
pm
What a cutie!
How about:
Socks, Cinders, Blackie or Beast
10:03
pm
:shock: I’m tellin’ Butterboo.
Checkers
Damian
Pierre
BB tomorrow with more. Off to :zzz:
10:04
pm
I think you should name the cat Tuesday or Gerald
10:14
pm
I like the PAX idea!
11:10
pm
What about socks?:idea:
Mac or Mick? Long time ago (maiden name was Smith) we named our cat Smitty.:yes:
12:58
am
Oh, he has gorgeous green eyes like the sea so I suggest Poseiden - you could always call him Po for short
2:09
am
Boy, he is gorgeous. I wouldn’t mind having him.:thumbsup:
Let’s see. I’m not good at names either never having had to name anything in living memory, maybe my goldfish, but that was eons ago.
I like Bandit. The dog upstairs is named that: he’s a pug but a real cutie and so much wanting a petting unless he’s shivering to death.
I’m thinking;
Mask
Max(i)
Zorro
Domino or
Dom for short and that also has meaning as in “Dom Perignon”
Zeus (since we’re into gods)
Hope–since he looks so hopeful on the first picture.
Ivanhoe–what my sister named her dog after Sir Walter Scott’s knight.
Drat, still can’t remember the second name I thought of. So fleeting is the mind–mine is anyway. Yuck!:loser:
Hope you had a great holiday.
I may be back.
Humph, you guys get a holiday. We don’t. Next one’s not until Easter, though the children and teachers get school break about 3rd week in March. Not that it really makes a difference to me unless the stores close.
2:33
am
The first thing I thought of was oreo, also bandit, or maybe since you already have a buttercup, maybe chocolate chip?:rotfl:
2:38
am
maybe since he strayed in there, hobo or vagabond, or even tramp, or coffecup, or cafe au lait
2:53
am
He’s black and white so why not
I am no goo at this naming someone else’s pet.
Harlequin? Or Checkers? If all else fails just call him Cat.Or Ruffian.
2:55
am
Can’t spell either. That should say good. Guess Spelling 101 is in my future.:oops:
6:12
am
Sylvester
Socks
Sam or Sammy
Bud
Patches
Harry
9:06
am
Or maybe:
Chance
Spooky
10:42
am
Pumpkin Ace
Theodore Dodger
Sookie Winkie
Tomboy Godiva
Snooky Cinnamon(hehe)
Midnight
Rex
Mineau
Lucky
Alfie
Samson
*I also like Cuddles, Sebastian(had a dog
with that name)and Sammy(our dog now) but someone else has used these so don’t count mine.
10:48
am
the first 5 entires have 2 names and each one is separate; I typed 2 columns of names but when submitted they moved together. For example, Ace, Dodger, Winkie, Godiva and Cinnamon are separate.
Aw shucks, here is my list again:(sorry)

Rex
Mineau
Lucky

12:43

What an adorable kitty! He looks just like our Butch! He has the white bib and four white feet, too. We have also had a Buckwheat, Spanky and Porky!
At the moment, we have a Leo, Zorro and Spike, too.

BTW, when I suggested Domino, it was with 2 things in mind: There are of course the black and white domino tiles but in the Regency, as a Regency author recently reminded us, people would were “dominos” to masked balls. They consisted of a mask with a hooded cloak. (I think that’s right.)
12:23
pm
Hmm…what can I come up with today…
Igor
Sherlock
Watson
Petrie
Peanut
