Name help!

[ErinShannon]

I am getting a kitten in 8 weeks - she was born a few days ago. She's a gift to me from my hubby - I graduated from college in October, and we've just been waiting till the perfect kitten was born. And she has been! Originally we thought we were going to be getting a male and my daughter suggested the name Rory, which we all fell in love with. But now that it's a girl, my daughter doesn't think that Rory is a girl name. I don't know, I kinda love it for either sex. LOL

Anyways, trying to think of other suggestions that we can mull over for the next 8 weeks in anticipation. LOL

The thing is, it has to start with R because we have a dog named Raven and a cat named Ruby, so their new sister has to have an R name too! LOL

Help!!! I don't mind unique and different and even if it's not traditionally a name but a thing that would make a cute name. Does that make sense? LOL

Isn't it? I think it's so perfect! But at 10 years old, she thinks mom is bonkers for suggesting it's a girls name too! LOL

Well I google everything...lol...

Here is a site with some fun R names - http://www.i-love-cats.com/names/r.html

if it helps at all we called our dog scout and it's a girl so everyone thinks it's a boy but we're all ok with it haha. i loved the name scout from to kill a mockingbird.

i say you have 8 weeks to convince her rory is a perfect name for a girl kitty

I say stick with Rory...definitely a girl's name! I think it's so cute!

[carrie1977]

Plus, she's your gift anyway, right?! Mom's gotta win some time!

Have her watch some of Gilmore Girls? Maybe she will like the name too!

The only thing I can think of is the Pokémon ralts! I’d totally name an animal a Pokémon name lol

I love the name Rory. I think it could be for both boy and girl. So I would keep it as well.

Or how about Roxy? It looks/sounds a bit like Rory and I know a girl dog who's name is Roxy.

[GraceLee]

I was thinking about Roxy too, if in the end she won't go with Rory. I think both are so sweet for a kitty.

I like both! But, to make it a bit more complicated (hehehe!) let me suggest one more.. How about Rita? I quite like the name

I love Rory for a girl! Rylie is cute too. Can't wait to see pics of your new fur baby!

Oh I like Rylie or Riley as well.
And I'd love to see a photo as well.

[ErinShannon]

It's not the great picture but she updates photos as they get bigger/older. She is a Maine Coon Kitten. I wish she wasn't two hours away cause I'd totally do a newborn photo shoot with her. LOL This is going to be a looooooooooong 8 weeks! LOL

[rach3975]

So cute! I don't even want a pet and my husband's allergic to cats, but that picture almost had me ready to research adopting a kitten. I have to vote for Rory because of the Gilmore Girls connection. If it helps, tell your daughter it's a nickname for Lorelai. If you can't convince her, there are lots of other cute suggestions here.

Another vote to stick with Rory!

[Saar]

Oh what a cutie!!!!

[craftytam]

Is she thinking Rory from Doctor Who?
How about River Song (also from Doctor Who)

[kendallt]

Erin!! You don't even know how jealous I am of you right now. Having a Maine Coon is on my bucket list! Seriously...my friends could tell you I talk about this all the time! I'm going to be living vicariously through you from now on.

[renatasluis]

Main coons are so pretty.

[adi&co.]

My mom has a main coon! He's huge! They're very mischievous kitties but I"ve always wanted one! I too will be living vicariously through you!

[Neverland Scraps]

I really like Rory regardless if it's a boy or a girl! I think that flows nicely with the animals that you already have!!
