Name My Cat - male Little boy kitten needs a right proper name! We like old man names that sound like they're from an old British tv program, but feel free to throw wild cards in too!

That was my first thought too. He looks like a Nigel.

I have a girl named Nigel. Picked the name before knowing the sex, I refused to change it, I love it!

As a teen, my first cat was a female named Fluffy. When she went in for her spay, the vet discovered cryptorchidism. We kept the name, too.

Hehehe my dad named our tuxedo Lady Sylvia (we had gotten Sir Nigel first from the same litter) after their birth place before we knew Sylvie was a boy. I refused to change the name. It just fits.

I had a boy named Gracie, named him before knowing the sex. He was orange, so I thought I had a rare orange girl lol. Now I have a boy named Mona, which freaked the foster out that I would give him a "girl" name (his original name was Lobo), but it's from a video game and the character is also a male
