It was time to change the towel in my foster kittens’ den, and it’s also the time to name the kittens!!
I polled a bunch of my friends, and took some suggestions from the Imgur community, and came up with four possible naming conventions: Gemstones, Flowers, Springtime, and Easter. There are two calico girls, one orange boy, one tuxedo boy, and one all-black boy. Let’s look at the options!
First up is Gemstones.
For girls, we have:
Jewel
Gem/Gemma
Ruby
Opal
Emerald
Jade
Pearl
And for boys, we have:
Onyx
Jasper
Moonstone
Topaz
Next up is Flowers.
For girls, we have:
Blossom
Ivy
Buttercup
Clover
Honeysuckle
Petunia
Tulip
Daisy
Magnolia (Maggie)
Poppy
And for boys we have:
Bluebell
Sweet Pea
Daffodil
Dandelion
Elm
Zephyr
Another option is Springtime names.
For girls we have:
Petal
Primrose
Willow
Persephone
Meadow
Raindrop
And for boys we have:
Arbor
Bud
Hunter
River
Cypress
Scamper
Bambi
Thumper
Duckling
Brook
Hopper
Finally, we have Easter-themed names!
For girls, we have:
Bunny
Peep/Peeps
Spring
Sugar
Pastel
Chick/Chicky
And for boys, we have:
Bunny (could be for a girl or boy)
Cadbury
Peep/Peeps (again, an androgynous name)
Egg/Eggie
Cottontail
Peter
Reese/Reese’s
Thank you SO much to everyone who suggested names!! I have been overwhelmed with options and have tried to pare it down as best as I could!
Please let me know which naming convention is your favorite, and then your favorite names within that theme! I’m ready to stop calling them by their birth order!

Easter!

Flowers is still my vote! Also could add Gladiolus (Gladio) to flowers for a boy :)

Another Easter option: Paas

My vote is for the springtime names. Meadow and Willow for the girls; Scamper, Hopper, and Thumper for the boys. Because they rhyme and I'm easy to please.
DillPixels
I vote Easter! And Frank. https://media1.giphy.com/media/xjlC6nomocZhVXuZgM/200w.webp?cid=a57373e5jlf8d6wmxpjz8cayec47uuzwshy4ahh89nx7ptif&ep=v1_gifs_search&rid=200w.webp&ct=g

Mama has to be Biscuits. I stand firm on this. Mrs. Biscuits, if you're fancy.

How about people names ? That way, if their human has to leave work, they can say Frank called and needs me at home 😋🥰😂🤗. 🤷♀️

My vote is for flowers!!
First, it gives lil frank a chance, as he can be Mr. Dahlia Frank thanks to the suggestion of @Ineedtochangemyname (everyone is happy!)
For the two calico girls I would go with honeysuckle and petal (I know it's a spring name, but it's flower related)
For tux boy I would go with Mr. Dandy Lion, and for void boy I think Zephyr is pretty snazzy.

Spring (and Frank)

I'm still a fan of springtime options. Of these I like Petal and Primrose for the girls. For the boys I like Arbor, River, and Cypress. All kind of refreshing not-too-disney nature names. ☺️ Exciting to see what you end up choosing!
greenloki
I love all the choices with the Springtime names! Really love Willow, Meadow, River, Cypress, and Brook

It would be blasphemous if I didn't vote for gemstones!
KorrasamiOTP
I like the gems or flowers. Not crazy about the springtime or Easter names

Springtime... and Frank.
EnergyFiend
Exactly my vote as well!

You’re killing me 😂
CRAAAAAAIIIIIIIIG
Just so you know, there is a type of rose called the 'frank red rose''

Before I hopped on the Frank train, I was going to suggest naming one of the girls Kevin. Would that be better?

Frank

BraveBraveSirRobin
Gemstones! Flowers are cool tool
rshini
Easter and name the noisiest kitten Peeps
Morlyndia
1: Daisy

3: Frank (Named for the rose "Frank's Climber")
4: Daisy
5: Elm
Morlyndia
Oh! And mama should be Magnolia!
KittensForDays
Maggie for short!
scrumtrilescent
Springtime names! Favorites are Willow and Meadow for girls, Bunny or Thumper, Hopper, and Frank for the boys.
trigonography
You could hit Easter, Flowers, and/or Springtime themes by using names of rabbits from "Watership Down": Hazel, Blackberry, Dandelion, Bluebell, Hyacinth, Cowslip, Nightshade, Frankenberry, etc, etc, etc ... and Fiver for #5!
Morlyndia
Frank's Climber and Mr. Frank and the names of flowers, fyi.
StabbyMcMurder
Give them all human names. Nothing funnier than telling Keith that human food is not for him, or telling Frank to cover his poop cause it stinks
aksnone
We tell Peter to get off the counter constantly

Apparently Dahlia 'Mr Frank' is a flower! https://www.tesselaar.net.au/product/11800-dahlias-mr-frank
Morlyndia
Frank's Climber is also the name of a rose. I just found that >:)
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
@op! FRANK IS THE NAME OF A FLOWER!!!
cadetcypress
Baby 1: Prim(rose)
Baby 2: Cypress - solid choice, strong sturdy name
Baby 3: Frank
Tinay bebe 4: Persephone (maybe Percie for shortening?)
Baby 5: Arbor - Springtime names for sure are the way to go imo

I'm late to the party and I don't know enough about Flowers or Gemstones to offer an opinion on them, but I spent 19 Years with a delightfully cuddly Tuxedo named Bunny, so if you do decide on the Easter theme, my vote is for the Tuxedo to be called Bunny!
KittensForDays
Awww!!! Bunny is an amazing name. And to call a kitten that?? Cuteness overload
spittytrinkles
She would sleep every night snuggled in the crook of my arm. Of course she acquired many other names over the years, such as; Terdmatic 2000, Jelly Bellied Smelly Alley-cat, and Ceefur. ("Oh right. C for Cat." "NO.")
KittensForDays
Ahh yes. What would our pets be if not for seventeen nicknames we call them?

@KittensForDays, there is only one true solution…
First calico is Janet.
Tuxedo is Brad.
Orange Frank will go on to get his doctorate.
Second calico is Magenta.
Finally, the void is Riff Raff.
And Mama can be Dr. Josephine Scott.
This is the way.
louster
Oh, I love this.

@TinyOctopus, I require your support on this matter. 😉

This has me laughing so hard I’m afraid I will wake up the kids I’m babysitting, lol. XD

The following flowers are named Frank:
Pelargonium 'Frank Headley' is a reliable old fancy-leaved pelargonium, with pink flowers contrasting silvery green, variegated foliage.
Clematis 'Frankie', an RHS award-winning cultivar, offers charm with its broad, bell-shaped flowers in shades of light to mid-blue that appear in early spring.
'Frankie': Floribunda rose, 2001; flowers light mauve with pink edges [pb], deep pink reverse, single (4-11 petals).
beerlady
It's a perfect name!
QotU
It has been foretold
akelamishari
Youll just have to name him Frank online, his secret name can remain offline
KittensForDays
That’s apparently what I’m going to have to do 😂
RoseThistle
Nooooo do one of the Frank flowers! Compromises for everyone! It's win-win! 😆

These are killing me hahaha you HAVE to adopt him and make him Frank
Rabidwoodchuck1119
This has been the funniest mess to follow. Team Frank!
Addmagnet
If you went with 'herby' names, (Rosemary, Angelica, Basil, Cicely, Majoram etc etc etc), Frank could be used as a diminutive of Frankincense .... just sayin'
GrowinWildontheFunnyFarm
I still like the idea of MASH names. I mean there's already Frank. And Momma could be Coronel Potter.
TheVaal
Szj2
Yes. Frank it is. It has been determined.
InfiniteBirds
Okay maybe I just really want Frank to work but I think a litter with names based on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein would be perfect. Frank, Shelley, Lacey, Felix, etc.
TryHardEggplant
Or Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein and you can add Abby Normal to the list. Haha
KittensForDays
@TinyOctopus I am coming for you!!!
