So since you guys are name experts I figure you guys could help me. We adopted 2 cats and we're not really keen on the names they came with. We want to change it but we're stumped.

Female. Very dainty and princess like. She's tiny, 2lbs at 6 months old. She's curious about everything and can be a little shit but overall a darling. (These are their pics, haven't had a chance to take our own)

Male. He is HUGE, bigger than Dahmer (Dahmer is about 18lbs) Not fat thought. He is extremely shy and quiet.

    What names did they come up with for these cats? First thought that came into my mind was ebony/ivory, then Yin/Yang. You basically described them as complimentary opposites.

    WOW! I wish Halo would get to be 20 pounds! [ as in big, not fat] THen I can REALLY pretend shes a dog heh. [ she's 10 pounds atm, but we're trying to slim her down ]

    Hmm...names. They do look like Yin & Yang heh. I'll have to think on this more.

    You looking for cultural names Rina? ~

    I'm not a fan of matchy names. Maybe if we got 2 kittens together but not a kitten and cat. Especially since Dahmer will be the odd man out. Besides that I'm not looking for anything in particular. Cultural names, real names, places, foods, I don't care lol.

    April and Snowball really don't fit, I can see why you'd want to change them! I'm no good at names, the best we came up with for our own pup (not that it worked out in the end) was Eski, short for eskimo, for no other reason than it was cute. And we now have a dog called Tiger, so I'm probably not qualified to comment haha!

    We did, however, have a black cat called "Bess" when I was growing up after a famous singer my Dad loved - might be an idea? They are very cute though.

    I say name the little black girl Henry. And name the big white boy with Howl, or Soap.
    Why?
    Those are what I thought the second I saw them. I am fun with Rorschach tests too.

    The little girl kinda looks like an owl in that pic....and the boy looks sunburned because of the red on his face. "Owl" and "Sunblock"?:)

    I really, desperately want to name a black cat Thirteen... just putting that out there.

    The orange boy looks exactly like my friend's cat Simon.

    I thought Sparrow (girl) and Lucien (boy) sounded good

    Jessica it's kind of creepy that you say that because I was contemplating Howl before you even mentioned it lol.

    Ooo I'm liking the suggestions. I just have to go over them with Errik and see which ones he likes.
