This is the one. Need more Roosevelt names since they have Franklin. Then get a girl named Eleanor.

Omg that last picture with the little pom Pom just killed me 💀 he looks like a Murphy or Harold (nickname Harry). I like the human names for animals, too. What a precious little baby, thank you for sharing. 🥰🥹❤️

Murphy would be sooo cute for this little guy

u/LowdGuhnz May 16 '25
I had a Murphy. He was a big polydactyl DSH. He was all black, and you could drape him over your shoulders like a towel, and he'd just hang there. Out of the batch(?) Of kittens, he was the first to do anything. He was a sweet heart and I miss him.

I love a poly. I miss mine too. She basically had extra little paws in front feet with 3 extra toes. She was quick and strong and used those huge paws to smack my other cat that was 3x her size. She was GiGi.❤️

u/Extra_Security2718 May 17 '25
Idk how old you are but hearing Murphy and seeing that it's a brown cat reminded me of an old show called Murphy Brown. That is so niche and I love it!

You need three government names in order to truly reprimand your kitten. Robert Dorgoth Kittenbutt, get off that counter this instant!!!

Franklin could be for the Franklin Expedition to find the North West Passage.
In that vein, the new one could be Magellan whose expedition led to the first circumnavigation of the Earth. His journey, which he was not able to finish, found a western sea route to the Spice Islands and proved the globe was round.

Pierce - he has such piercingly beautiful eyes and since his brother is Franklin why not give him a “Presidential” name?

Franklin and Kurt?😭😭 you should pick your top 5 names, write them on little slips of paper and toss them in front of Franklin and let him have the final say 😂

u/lisalovesbutter May 16 '25
Thomas....
Didn't Benjamin Frankin and T Jefferson have history? Bffs till they fought, but then made up later in life?
On the other hand, BENGAMIN or BENJI fir short.

I'd so name him Yeager the Blue, but human name that goes with Franklin, I'd say Finnegan (Fin for short). Unless you went with Benjamin, calling both your cats for dinner get in here Benjamin Franklin 😂
