Here's some that I came up with;
Cali
Sweetpea
Muffy
There not that original, but my mind is a blank right now.
Scrappy , Fluffy , Tiger , Orange Blossom , Smokey
I love the name "Aurora" for calicos. "Bernadette"? "Josephine"?
:o One more thing--it's a male!
Cuddles, Spanky, Roger, Ralph, Dino, JujuBee... I've never had a problem naming pets! lol
Names for mine always have to "fit". It is like they tell you what their name should be..
Had one I couldn't come up with a name for...My brother in law said, "He looks like a Rastus" and he DID!! That was his name.
Had another, female that a friend in Pensacola, Florida brought me that she selected for me at the pound.. Couldn't think of a name for her until I was on the way to take her to the vet. I told her "You needed a name, the vet is going to want on! You came from Pensacola and someone didn't think you were worth 2 cents" Bingo! PENNY! That was her name.
How about Chynna, would fit boy or girl.
all calico cats are female. It's genetically impossible for a calico to be male. My calico's name is Roxy, and the name fits her perfect. The cat would have to have 2 X chromosones to be calico. But only females have 2 X chromosones, males have 1 X and 1 Y.
It is not impossible, but VERY rare. We happen to have a male calico..BarneyQuote:

How about Calypso, Cricket, Paisley, Paris, Tootsie, DeeDee....
Whoops, I just saw you said it was a male. How about Joseph "A Coat Of Many Colors"?:)
Wow, Barney's a looker! It's weird...I automatically associate that coloring with females, but Barney is very masculine looking.
Names...I like Joseph, I think it's perfectly suited to a male calico!
Storm-type names would probably be good too...Blizzard, Monsoon, Thunder, Cyclone...
Or there's the ever-useful "Patch"
:D
Or, since male calicos *are* so rare, how about Blue Moon or some such thing?
NO it is not impossible for a male to be a calico. I have known a couple and one was used in a breeding program. It is rare but not impossilble. One of them had the name Joseph, coat of many colors.
For a calico I like the names
Asia Plum
Calie-tude
Tude-a-lini
YRH--- your royal highness
Razz or Razzie
You will have to really see what she is like and what her personality is like. I am haveing a hard time coming up with something different for a solid black female.
Good luck with the name
Thanks everyone! After thinking it was impossible lol I called her and told her to check again :p and she said she was very sure LOL she also said that the kitten has more "down there" than her pure black female cat:o I just laughed at her and said "Ok...thanks" lol
Also Im going to write down all these names in a bit and then call her and read them out to her.
