    I feel as though you have to live with the kitty for a while and let his/her personality come through. When I acquired a longhaired grey kitten in 1990, I thought I'd call him Paddy. Didn't seem right, somehow. And then one day, I realized he was such a "charmer," and with that long grey hair - Merlin seemed a natural!

    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 agree, too, but you might start with Pumpkin..

    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
