Always fun to pick out the new name for that fur ball you have just brought home. Always interested to see what people choose.
I love the name Merida! Kelly Mcdonald is one of my favs and pair that with one of my favorite Disney stories and you have a recipe for a great name!
Cleopatra does have a nice ring to it plus Cleopatra also loves cats. My friend has a cat named Katniss, I guess it will also make a good cat name.

I really like the name Daphne and Duffy! However for a kitten, I feel as though Prada would be more adquate!

I love these names. They’re all so cute but I think Katniss is my favorite.

I LOVE the idea of fashion names like Prada – so very chic lol. These are all such cute ideas!
Naming a new kitten is so much fun! My daughter wants to name her new kitten Fluffly, I told her that is fine, but I like Katniss better.
I know many people that have struggled to decide on their pet’s name. I haven’t had that happen myself, I go with whatever feels right.
What a fun post. We don’t have any cats or kittens but these are great name ideas.
