    You've got some really nice suggestions right now; I'd add Sorbet - it's a soft color, like the kitty.

    Good luck - may you be blessed with many, many happy and healthy years on Earth!
    I agree - you need to get a feel for the kitty. We thought we had a name all picked out for Duffy when we got him - changed it within a week when it just didn't "fit".

    I think you're right, I just need to spend some time with him and a name will naturally come to me.

    Only 1.5 hours until I go pick him up!

    She's cutie, I love her coloring. As for a name suggestion...hmm... Autumn? Since it's fall (even though it feels like winter sometimes ) Congratulations on the new kitty!

    RIP Sally

    Names can be hard to choose or not. Sandy as short for Sandalwood? I usually go with whatever pops in my mind.

    Can't wait to see more pix of your newest family member.

    He's adorable and I'm sure that in time you'll come up with a great name. Congrats and I can't wait to hear more about him and hopefully see some more pictures too.
