isn't it funny how knowing the right (or wrong!) person affects how you feel about a name!

I was thinking that! I really hate the name Natalie because when I was younger a girl of that name was hideous to me.

A friend of ours has a female Birman named Aisha (a-EE-sha).  The name has an arabic origin and the meaning is like lively, perky, full of life etc.  It has a lovely sound to it, and not overly common.

Safina.  It means beautiful one or something like that.  I read about a lion in a zoo called Safina and have earmarked the name for if I ever have a female cat  ;D

I still wonder if you're looking for cat names or human kittens  ;D
Title: Re: Unusual girls names

Kitty names definately, cant see me having human offspring  :sick:

I've got a Morticia (who is helping me type).

Ayesha is another nice one :)  That was the name of She Who Must Be Obeyed in the Rider Haggard books apparently, and that description fits my oldest horse (who is Ayesha) perfectly!

Any particular colour? I'm not one for "colour" names usually, but love the name Nyx - which would be for a black female cat. If I remember rightly it's a Goddess of darkness in Greek mythology.

90% white with such dark tabby its virtually black so no good for Nyx  :(

thanks for cheering me up a little this morning. Ayesha was my mother in law's name.

How about Maite (my-eat-ay), it means love in the Basque language. Or same language, Txika (pron. like 'cheeka': means little one, feminine version).  Or Zuri, which means beautiful in Swahili.
