My new kitty's name!

As some of you may know, if we can get a transport from Michigan to Maryland together, I will be taking moosmom's Sophie. While I do love the name Sophie, I already have a Samantha and a Sushi in the house. Adding another S name would be trouble! LOL That's actually one main reason we didn't name Kirin 'Sake'. I think I'd also like to stay with the Japanese theme we have going on for our felines. Here are some of the nicest names I've come across.

Amaya (Maya) - Night rain
Emiko (Emi) - Blessed beautiful child
Kimi - She Who is Without Equal
Kohana (Hana) - Little flower
Miya - Sacred House
Tori - Bird
Tora - Little tiger

I'm also open to suggestions! Vote for your favorite!

She who is without equal...what could be a better name for a cat. :D

Denyce

I'm torn between Emiko and Kimi. I voted Emi because that name didn;t have any votes yet! :D

I as well voted for Kimi- because it sounds nice and fits well. A tora is a tiger and I would save that name for stripeys:D

I voted for Kimi. I HATE changing their names that they already have but there are times that you have to. I begged my neighbor not to name "Midnight" that name but I could not talk her out of it so when she gave her to me, I changed it to Samantha because "Midnight" just didn't fit her. I love the name Sophie but I adore the meaning of the name Kimi, "She who is without equal"..Does that fit a C-A-T or NOT???

I voted for Tora, but I like Amaya, too. :)

She who is without equal-Kimi-was my vote.

How about Karina,the Little Mom Cat,that passed,on after making sure,that her 5 Kittens,were born safely,first.I wish I had a picture,of Karina,to post!

I voted for Emiko (even before I read the first post) :o

But I do not care to shorten names, so I like EMIKO!

I like Amaya, Emiko and Kimi. :p

Looks like she might have to be Kimi Emiko! :D

I voted for Amaya, very pretty name.

I voted for Amaya, very nice! I also like Emiko :)

I like the name Kimi and the meaning behind it.:)

I'm partial to Kimi too! I am assuming that it is pronounced like Kimmy?:)

Yup. Emi would be "emmy" and Hana would be "Hannah". I'm sure Kimi is supposed to be "keemee" but Kimi is cuter, I think... Plus, it fits... Samantha, Sushi, Kirin and Kimi. ;) Two Ss, two Ks. But Emi's right up there too... I don't know! I'm still up in the air about it!

Emiko was cute, but if you were to shorten that, Why not Miko?

Ummm... 'cause I like Emi?

i definately like tori whats better than naming a cat after its prey lol i think its cute

I like Kohana.:)

how about Kimi-Kohana????....i like it....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D

kohana! I can imagine your new kitty, her shinning eyes gleaming, sitting in bright, colorful....pure kohanas signature, "Kohana" hawaiized across it and ends with a heart... oohh sounds good! little kohanas have their own petals, "sophie".."kohana".."hannah".."hana" peeling off lovely, swaying onto ground of love..... *siiing*

(wondering if convinced? :D) have fun with names hunting!

EMIKO !!!

I love both Emiko and Kimi --

How about Kemiko ?

I'm not usually a "combine all the names you love into one long moniker" of a person, but I just can't decide between those two pretty names and their lovely meanings! Maybe your new kitty is meant to be both ;)

I stil like Karina,as she was such a good Little Mom Cat,and left us,way too soon.That would be a nice Tribute,to a Cat,that had a hard life,and never got an even break.

This is a photo,of a photo,and it is a bit blurry,but its the only Karina Photo,that I have!

Karina is a pretty name, but I would like to stick with the Japanese theme... :)

Do you like Yamiko, not sure on its origin, but my daughter had a friend from Malawai called that, it sounds Japanese to me, slight variation from Emiko.:)

ok..these are all japanese names...yamasaki...yonai...yoshio...jisaku...
sadayoshi...teijiro..takeshi..kimpei...kikumatsu.. .takeo..nobumasa..shima...samejima..onishi...nishi na...kitamura..kishi...asaguma...akiyama...kikuchi ...:) :) :)
