Name my pussy

Hey Internets, can you help a gal out?

I am fostering three kittens for a local animal rescue organization, and I need some names. If left to my own devices, they will all have names from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I changed my other foster cat's name from Peaches to Willow after chain-watching the first four seasons, so don't put it past me.)

The kittens were just dropped off this afternoon. I don't know if they're male or female yet, so the names will have to be versatile.

Two kittens are black. One of them is super shy and a little fluffy, and the other is a very active and outgoing short-hair.

The third one is a tabby whose personality is somewhere between the other two.


Names are important, because they can often affect how long it takes for the animals to get adopted. And, frankly, the longer seven animals are in my house, the more likely it is that I will become the crazy cat lady living down by the tracks. I've already got the crazy and the tracks thing going on, so I need your help, stat!

What would you name them?

UPDATE: I have finally scoped out the kitty butts, and know the sex of the three kittens. The outgoing black cat is female and the other two are male.

Oooh - Astro would be a good name for the active black kitten...

Names that can go either way:

Sidney. Tiger. Jo.

OOOOOOOOOOOH Look at how cute they are!!!!!!

I could only come up with vaguely inappropriate and childish names, so I'm leaving them out.

Although, my word verification is "butfuth" so I think it's telling you to name one "Buttfuzz". "Fuzzbutt" sounds better though.

I like Pants or Mr. Pants. I'm not sure why, but I've always wanted a pet named Pants.

I would name them as follows:
Stripey one: Hobbes (he REALLY looks like Hobbes. I can't help it). Or possibly Arturo.

Black Fuzzy Girl One: Demirara

Other Black One: Miss Demeanor. Heh. Okay, no, really. Erm...Lucretia.

There you go.

I wonder if people are more likely to adopt a cat with a human name. If so, I'd name them something like Katy.

I guess Tallulah for the stripey one.

Maggie May for the outgoing black one. Definitely.
