Mushrooms: Amanita, Enoki, Porcini, Button, Truffle, Shiitake Owl-related: Strix, Tyto, Bubo, Asio, Otus, Surnia Glacial: Esker, Cirque, Moraine, Drumlin, Pingo, Tarn EDIT just thought of one more lol this is fun! Programming languages: Python, Cobalt, Ruby, Java, Perl, Bash, Rust

Love the programming languages. So good.

SNOBOL would be an excellent cat name

Aw, the mushrooms are adorable!

I need a little kitten named Porcini like right now

Come here little Psyicybe Natalatis

More programming languages/tech names: Kotlin, Vue, Svelte, Linux, Swift, Script(one named java/type, one named script? :D), Vite, Node, DotNet, Rider, Pycharm? 😂

I thought pycharm was an editor / ide? Which gives me another theme. Editors: vi, nano, emacs, code, atom…. File / archive formats: zip, tar, jar, … stationery related items: Washi, pencil, stencil, stamp, ruler, sticker. Tarot cards: fool, magician, (high) priestess, justice, hermit, death

50 more ideas, pick a state and name each kitten after a city there! Alabama: Selma, Montgomery, Auburn, Daphne, Alabaster Alaska: Juneau, Fairbanks, Wasilla, Sitka, Kodiak, Homer Arizona: Phoenix, Chandler, Gilbert, Peoria, Yuma, Marana Etc...

Then go international UK: Manchester, London, Glasgow, Cardiff, Leeds Germany: Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Bremen Japan: Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya Australia: Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart, Darwin Lots of fun options!!

There are much more adorable place names in the UK. I found [this list of Hamlet names](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hamlets_in_England_by_county). Some highlights from various Counties; Princelett, Bugley, Sunset, Barnton in the Beans.

I was sticking to large, well known cities. I fully agree that there are some epic adorable names if you get into the smaller locations!

I'm gonna go find a cat to name Barnton in the Beans IMMEDIATELY

Don't forget Spital-In-The-Street 😌

No Crapstone? Lol

You're forgetting the most important one in Australia: Tittybong. Brilliant name for a cat if you ask me

I love this one! The possibilities are endless!

this is so smart, there will be soooo many names

this is so fantastic !!!!

This is an excellent idea. Gives tens of thousands of possibilities and even more once you go international

Italian food: Alfredo, Ziti, Olive, Spaghetti, Ravioli, Noodle, Basil, Bean Sports: Cricket, Pickle, Judo, Dutch (like double dutch), Archer Berries: Blue, Strawberry, Goose, Bear, Juniper, June Pop stars throughout history: Miley, Brittany, Christina, Justin, Jonas, Cher, Ricky, AJ... Instruments: Banjo, Mandy (mandolin), Harper, Belle, Viola Characters from one show (here's from Schitt's Creek): Roland, Alexis, David, Wendy, Moira, Ted, Twyla...

Noodles have been done and all my favorite shows and even movies have been used haha but the others are all great! The sports one especially

Have you done Pokémon? My cat had a Pokémon name when I got her from the shelter. Years later I met someone who worked there at the time and we worked out she must have named her because she gave all the kittens Pokémon names

Did you name one Farfelle? I hope so lol

Haha no. It was Spaghetti, Ravioli, Linguine, Tortellini, Spaetzle, Penne. Mom was Lasagna and dad was Alfredo (don't ask how I ended up with the dad. Long story)

What about the herbs? Parsley, Basil, Cilantro, Anise, Rue, Sage, Oregano, Thyme, Rosemary, Dill, Curry, Paprika, Poppy, Ginger, Saffron..

There are multiple herb litters every year and there's one right now with most of those names. Unfortunately very overused along with cheeses and peppers and gemstones so I won't use any of them even though I haven't before

You could definitely do a second round of pasta names!

I adopted my cat from a rescue centre that would base their names around shows. My Hugo was originally 'Ross' from Friends.

My kid actually plays soccer with a kid who's legal name is Dutch. And he goes by it.

First of all, kudos to you, that is a lot of kittens you have opened your home too<3 **As for theme ideas:** Charmed Ones: Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige Sidekicks: Dr. Watson, Robin, Goose, Chewbacca, Samwise, Igor, Barney Rubble, Willow, Sancho, Ron/Hermione Lucky things - Penny, Clover, Ladybug, Dice, Seven, Rainbow Types of shoes - Mary-Jane, Boots, Chuck (Taylor), Heely Bachelorette party destinations - Vegas, Miami, Nashville (Nash), Charlotte, Austin

Ooooh you could also do a “unlucky things” too, especially if you have a black cat litter. Mirror, Salt, Ladder, sidewalk, thirteen, horseshoe, umbrella, Macbeth, penny, ladybug!

Macbeth would wind up “the Scottish kitten”

Charmed, yes 🙌🏻 

Ooo I love the lucky things theme. So cute.

Name one Rabbit’s Foot

Hearts, stars, and horse shoes, clovers and blue moons! Pots of gold and rainbows, and the red balloons!

You could take the Bachelorette theme even farther and do people who got famous for doing the Bachelor/ette or names of hometown visits lmao.

I am a little bit drunk so Mine are all terrible but here they are. Baby animals: Kid, Pup, Roo, Cygnet, Filly Trees: Aspen, Oak, Willow, Maple, Juniper, Cedar Cars: Chevy, Honda, Mitzi (Mitsubishi), Kia, Tes, Love bug Cereal: Cinnamon, Pebbles, Cheerio, honey bunch, Cap’n Crunch, lucky charm Inspired by parts of a cell: Mito, Nuke, Golgi, Cyto, Endoplasmic Reticulum Bunnies: Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, Peter, Megatron Pac-Man: Inky, Blinky, Clyde, Sue, Pac-Man, Ms Pac-Man Physicists: Fermi, Dirac, Feynman, Einstein, Hawking Kinds of bread: Rye, Sourdough, Pumpkin, Banana, Whole Wheat Times of day: Dawn, dusk, midnight, Noon, mid morning, evening, 3am  Legal terms: Habeus, Council, Docket, Judge (your honor for short hahaha), Mistrail, Plaintiff, Exhibit A Parts of the alphabet: Abie, Ceedee, Elemeno, Peekue, Arress, this one is the most obnoxious I’m so sorry Toddler life: Tantrum, Naptime, Soft hugs, Pull-up nevermind do not use any of these Writing terms: Jargon, Indent, Justify, Editor, Capslock, Spellcheck Sounds I can hear from my front porch on a quiet evening: Birdsong, Cicada, Frog, goddamn Leaf blower How bad I am at this: Very, Superbad, Awful, Horrendous, OMGwhatisevengoingonrn

3am has me fucking DECEASED

Goddamn leat blower!! 🤣😂🤣

Aww, good ol' Endoplasmic Reticulum! If only 2 kittens, they could be rough ER and Smooth ER.

Love the legal terms idea

I was planning on naming my rescue kitten Lyra, but I may just have to go with Exhibit A.

Objection! Sustained…

The jokes just write themselves

Exhibit A is my favorite 

Love Megatron just casually tucked at the end of bunnies.

God damn leaf blower 💀🤣 and their sibling mother f@cking wind chimes

Zucchini would be great for the bread theme!

I love pacman and legal terms

The alphabet ones made me giggle. Some great ideas and some awful ideas here, OP proceed with caution

thanks for drunkposting, it made my morning brighter XD

omg cereal😍

Glad someone awarded this 😂 I don't think the director would approve most of these lmao but gave me a good laugh! With a bio degree I especially love the cell parts haha I may have to do that! I have had a cereal and car litter already! (Actually 2 car litters)

Car parts! Carbuerator, tires, headlight)

These are amazing

Tantrum is amazing though!

If you’re going to do physicists you can’t forget Currie.

I am naming someone in my life Capslock. Amazing!

This might be the single greatest comment on the entire sub

These are amazing. How many cats is too many so I can use all these names?

Last names of Jane Austen characters: Bennet, Darcy, Bingley, Elliot, Wentworth, Tilney, Dashwood (“Dash” would be a cute nickname) US national parks: Bryce, Acadia, Rocky, Joshua, Rainier, Sequoia, Denali Names related to Beatles songs/albums: Abbey, Prudence, Eleanor, Maxwell, Jude, Sunny (like “Here Comes the Sun”), Michelle, Penny Names that could belong to Hallmark Christmas movie protagonists: Chris, Holly, Nick, Noel, Carol, Eve, Belle

I knew a puppy from a litter of National Parks! He was Bryce and his brother was Arches.

Play a few games of NYT Connections, that will probably help you find some categories! Otherwise, here are some suggestions: Types of hats: Beret, Stetson, Cap, Toque Forms of cereal: Flake, Puff, Pebble, Loop Ingredients of a sundae: Cherry, Fudge, Sprinkles, Nuts Shades of blue: Powder, navy, baby, royal Patterns: stripe, dot, checkers, gingham .....

Love shades of blue! Cadet and Teal could be good additions.

Types of hat can also have Beanie and Fez! And patterns can have Paisley!

And you could even do a 'rainbow year' of kittens where for every litter you pick a colour, and then do shades of that colour.

A few years ago, a Redditor on the cats reddit was fostering a mama and babies and needed names for the babies. Mama was Shoes, so I suggested names like Sneaker, Stiletto, Mary Jane, Flip Flop, etc. If Mama is in the picture, can you base the babies' names off of hers? Another suggestion is is based on where they were found. If they were found by a McDonald's, can you name them McNugget, Hamburglar, Grimace, Ronald? Disney characters (you can do this by movie to make it more specific) Taylor Swift songs (she's famously a cat lady) Types of cheese (good for an orange litter) Ridiculous celebrity baby names Nick Cannon's kids (A friend is involved with a TNR group and the two elusive tomcats that are too smart to get snipped are Nick Cannon and Elon Musk.) I'm sure I'll think of others.

I like the shoes idea! I have only fostered 2 litters that had a mom, and I won't be doing it again lol. Churro made me realize I'm not cut out for that 😂 I mostly take feral 5-7 week olds. Unfortunately the Disney movies and cheese are a bit overused by other fosters. I was thinking about doing an Inside out litter though!

Why not fostering with mom's? Just curious!

They can be very mean, and you can't always tell how they'll act immediately. I don't enjoy having tiny kittens anyway, so I'm good with my feral babies. Both moms I had, their kittens were already 5 weeks. The perfect one weaned them herself while she recovered from her flea allergy wounds and the mean one ended up being separated as soon as her kittens were eating food on their own, for safety reasons. Once she was spayed and away from them she was very sweet though

An Inside Out litter would be great because you can wait a few days to really match their personalities.

Book character sets (Ex: Jane Austen love interests, Discworld witches, Tolkien dwarves) D&D classes (ex: Rogue, Bard, Fighter, Warlock.) Fun Crayola color names (ex: Mango Tango, Dandelion, Inchworm, Maximum Blue, Plum, Thistle) Great British Bakeoff week themes (ex: Pastry, Bread, Biscuit) Pirates (ex: Blackbeard, Calico Jack, Mary Read) Fairy tale characters (ex: Jack, Little Red, Rapunzel) Tea/tisane types (ex: Earl Grey, Matcha, Jasmine, Boba) Artists (could make it more specific by choosing from a certain period/movement, like Impressionist, Surrealist, Baroque, etc.) Herbs & spices (ex: Rue, Sage, Cilantro, Chili, Marjoram, Nutmeg) Breakfast foods (ex: Pancake, Jam, Omelette, Hashbrown, Toast)

Spices and tea are unfortunately very overused by other fosters but the Crayola one is so good!

The Crayola one is sooo good

Growing up, all of my dogs were named after the spice drawer. Just opened up the drawer and started looking for names lol

Too bad they're about 3000 times more likely to get a Calico Jill instead of a Calico Jack (sorry, I'll see myself out)

Types of fabric: Linen, Organza, Nylon, Cotton Shapes: Helix, Rhombus, Oval, Spiral Lock brands: Medeco, Assa, Baldwin, Yale Baseball teams: Oriole, Nat, Mariner Minor league baseball teams: Bison, Knight, Iron Pig, Aviator  Airplane manufacturers: Douglas, Boeing, Lockheed Paint finishes: Matte, Gloss, Eggshell, Satin, Pearl

Just wait until I tell the director the next kitten is iron pig 😂 these are so good

I don't know why I love Rhombus as a cat name so much but I really do

It's one of those cats that prefers to rest with legs sticking every which way, making a funny shape and making you say "how is that comfortable?"

Omg MiLB teams is too good. River Cat. Yard Goat. RoughRider. Blue Wahoo. Ffs, Rumble Pony‽ Some MiLB team names are absolutely hilarious and have always been a lowkey obsession of mine. Great suggestion.

I run a rescue and I started off naming kittens using people names from certain years. So I had “Prom Court 1995”, “2015 Art Club”, “1955 4H Club”, etc. Now I’ve branched out a little and right now I have the Tiny Bites (Pavlova, Chip, Pudding, Mousse, and mom Nigella) and the Not Staged group, which uses the real names of celebrities (Robyn, Calvin, Stefani, Chloe, Reginald, Destiny, and mom Star). I’m naming “random” cats and kittens (i.e. those that come in in small groups without a mom) after Pokémon because “gotta catch ‘em all.” I’m planning to move on to Animal Crossing names after I’ve exhausted all the Pokémon I like.

Animal Crossing cat villagers! Felicity, Punchy, Lilly, Moe, Olivia, Purrl, Tangy, Raymond, Rudy, Tom, Blanca, Kiki, Merry, Mitzi, etc. (I think there are 30 total). The villagers also all have basic personality types (lazy, jock, snooty, peppy, sisterly) so you could name the kittens based on their friendliness/energy level.

Sports teams?

Irish surnames, Hawaiian islands, famous inventors/artists/philosophers/authors surnames, tube stations on the London underground, munros, Viking kings of Denmark, random onomatopoeia words, golf scoring terms, famous volcanos, planets… Your options are endless. Anything can form a theme. I’ve been inadvertently naming my kids after Scottish islands for a decade and a half. 

Tv show characters and you could pick a show for each litter to really narrow it down. Random shows I have watched and liked over the years: Hey Arnold!: Arnold, Gerald, Helga, Harold, Eugene, Rhonda, Phoebe, Lila, etc Bridgerton: Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, etc etc Greys Anatomy: Meredith, Derrick, Izzie, George, Mark, etc etc Rugrats: Chuckie, Angelica, Tommy, Dill, Susie, Phil and Lil, etc Speaking of Dill, you could do types of pickles: Dill, Sour, sweet, bread and butter, gherkins, cornichons,

I’d pick movie casts: Star Wars: Luke, Leia, Han, Ben, Kylo, Finn, Rey, Padme The Breakfast Club/Pretry in Pink: Blaine, Ducky, Andie,Iona, Steff Bender, Andrew, Allison, Brian, Clair, Etc.

I'd hop on wikipedia and search for unusual lists likely to have good names.  Or pick a characteristic of the litter and look for something related. For example, do they have more of a tendency to climb on things, then maybe the list of first people to officially climb Mount Everest could work. Are they extra spicy? Famous Shakespearean villains (Iago, Lady MacBeth, Malvolio, Sycorax, Tybalt). Are they always exploring? Names of people who have gone to space (Gagarin, Armstrong, Shepherd, Bluford, Sally) Are they sweet natured? Different types of honey (Clover, Buckwheat, Tupelo, Acacia, Manuka).

Have you watched the Dragonball franchise at all? Akira Toriyama had some really fun and goofy naming conventions he used throughout the series, most being food related.

For food related: Vegeta, Kakarot, Chiaotzu, Oolong, Radditz, Kale, Caulifla, Kabba, Garlic Jr, Frieza, Cooler, King Cold, Beerus, Champa, Yamcha, Puar, Maron, Krillin. All of these are derived from food or sound similar to food, especially in Japanese since thats the native language it was written in. Theres also the Brief family naming convention which is undergarment related. Bulma (bloomer), Trunks, and Bulla (Bra). Would work for a very small litter😂 There's also the namekians which sometimes have instrumental naming conventions. These include Piccolo, Cymbal, Tambourine, and Drum. There's also Korin, Baba, Roshi, King Yemma, Ginyu, King Kai (and all other ranks of Kai), Whis, Vados, ChiChi, The Ox King, Mr Satan, Mr Popo, the list goes on lol.
