Kali and Riley went to the vets today for their first vaccinations. I had a sneaking suspicion that all was not right down below with Kali but it has been confirmed - Kali is a boy :shy:
When I first went to see them after losing Tiggy I was adamant that I wanted two boys as I didn't think I'd be able to love another girl like I love Tiggy. Of course when I saw her him I fell in love. I'm actually a bit sad that she he is a boy now!
Anyway I love Kali just the same whether boy or girl and now I need to think of a new name. I like 'human' names, but would like something a bit more on the unusual side.
This is what I had on my list when I was looking for two boy kittens:
Lucas
Floyd
Baxter
Reggie
Rupert
Rufus
What do you think? Feel free to add new suggestions as I'm a bit stuck on this one!
-
Awww. At least you know now ;)
I'm rubbish at naming anything which is why my husband refuses to let me name anything without his approval.
Probably shouldn't have tried Crisis Averted for our Lirael Ann Reese.
good luck with picking a new name, though I'd just mess around with the spelling of Kali :)
-
Kallum / Callum LOL just to be contraversial because it sounds similar when you say it, not that she..sorry he will have got used to his name but we all have :rofl:
cant believe he's a boy...he just looks like a girl :Crazy: Oh well he's a pretty boy like my connor ;D
out of your names i like lucas and baxter (my best mates dobbie is called baxter and he's lovely ;D)
(ps ive just remembered a vet i used to work with had a sister with a cat called callum :Luv: not that that is at all relevant :rofl:)
-
I like Floyd :) then again, I also think the names Muesli (got the idea from the kitty in the rehoming section) and crinkle (my fave word) are nice :rofl:
-
Awww bless
her his paws! he is very very pretty regardless
I think something beginning with R to go with Riley would be nice. Reggie is my fave
-
:rofl: I am hugely amused by this but can't say why!
I like Lucas, though Calum has a nice ring to it too, or you can steal Cody ( :rofl: just to annoy Lynn )
Kyle is nice too if you want to stick to K. Cameron is another I like a lot.
-
Ahhhhhh this is what happened with my Kyle (rip) that i took on as a stray in 2005. The vet nurses thought he was a girl and as he was so thin and boney named him Kylie only to later find he was a boy and change it to Kyle!!!
-
scandelous!!!!!! hehe, poor little confused boy! least all sorted now! have to say i'd probably call him (!) Kal...... which would usually be Kali i'm sure too but... its not bad as a boys name is it?
ah well congrats on 2 gorgeous boys then!!!! xx
-
or you can steal Cody ( just to annoy Lynn )
:no no:
besides surely one codster munster is more than enough :rofl:

-
Snap hannah LOL
-
Awww bless him :Luv: :Luv: I'm not very good at sexing kittens and have given up hope of ever getting it right :Crazy: I usually wait for the little "peas" to appear and then I know for deffo it's a boy :evillaugh:
-

I would have stuck to messing about with Kali, I think thats a great name for either sex, and as Lynn said, Kal would be lovely too :)
xxx
-
He he who would of thought.
I like Rufus, but you'll probibly think of loads more soon. ;D
I called my little gray baby Harry.
-
great minds lynn!! and sarah now too!
and zip it anyone metioning fools!!!!
;D
i have a question..... if kali had have been a girl would lopping off any relevant bits stopped them from getting too friendly later on? sorry - not being gross - just curious! :)
-
great minds lynn!! and sarah now too!
and zip it anyone metioning fools!!!!
;D
I sayin' nuffink
-
:doh:
Ah well, he is gorgeous anyway!
Think Rupert is a very lovely name for a cat....or you could always go for Karl!
Alas, the name in your signature line will need to change colour (although he might like pink!) ;D
-
I like Alfie or Henry.
If you want real extreme how about Derek or Donald???
I wish I'd called Archie Dave or Graham - proper normal people names!
-
I think you should stick with Lucas as you planned to use the name - also it will be a memorial for Lucas that didn't make it :Luv:
PS - I googled Kali - the godess of darkness and destruction! (I'm sure you know that Helen :evillaugh: )
Kali for a boy is a demon :scared:
-
kali it should be then!!! :rofl:
-
Thanks everyone ;D I love the name Kali but I think it is too girly to stck with. I was hoping that one name would be the overwhelming favourite but that hasn't happened! I've asked a few of my friends too and they vote Lucas.
So.... I think his name is gonna be Lucas :Luv: I was going to save it for a baby name for the future but Lucas is my little baby so I think I will use it early!
-
Yay! Lucas wins!! :evillaugh:
-
well looking forward to new spangly signature then :evillaugh:
good decision.... welcome riley and lucas!!!!!!!!!!! :Luv:
-
Oh bless him! Well he's a very pretty boy! I like Lucas. I also like Kai, although Linda has got in there with Kai for her new bengly (doesn't mean no-one else can have it though :P). Lucas and Riley sounds like a good double act!
-
Well, he's a boy then. I for one thought he might be. ;) Don't worry Lucas you've always looked like a very handsome boy to me. A girl indeed :Crazy:
Many, many moons ago when I had just left home, I collected 2 kittens that I named Dingle (girl) and Baron (boy). It soon became apparent that our beautiful tabby Baron was in fact a girl. I never changed her name though as it became short for Baroness. She always did act a bit upmarket and it just suited her. I know, I know, how can you mistake a girl for a boy? :Crazy:
Don't worry Helen, I'm sure he hasn't become used to the name Kali just yet so there won't be any harm done. Of course all of us are going to be completely confused when you start calling him Lucas :rofl:
-
yay lucas was one of my preferred ones off your list.
I just couldnt get my head round a cat called rupert :rofl:
-
Lucas it seems means "light". Not sure of that means as in ....shine a... or as opposed to heavy?
-
great minds lynn!! and sarah now too!
and zip it anyone metioning fools!!!!
;D
I sayin' nuffink
That's not like you Ruth :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
Lucas is a great him for him :Luv:
I thought Rascal was a wee boy till I took her to the Vet :-:
How where they at the Vet? The boys go next Tuesday for their 2nd vacs and Teresa said Widget squealed with his 1st :Crazy:

They were very well behaved, getting them in the basket was another matter though! I thought it would be best for them to go together as it must be very scary for them. I put Riley in first as Lucas follows everything he does. Riley went in no problem, picked Lucas up and his little paws went wild flailing his claws everywhere - not in a vicious way though he was just whirling around. Picked him up in a towel and opened the door only for Riley to pop out - this pattern repeated itself over and over until I finally got them both in and shut the door!
They were really good at the vets although obviously a little frightened. They had a check over, vaccinations, worming tablet, stronghold and were weighed. When we got home they collapsed fast asleep and have just woken up around 5 mins ago. They've both had some tea and are now busy washing their little faces :Luv:
-
Awwww Lucas it is then...we thought Snarf was a boy when we first got here and thought about chancing her name to snarfles but she was always a bit of a tom boy !!
-
Hi Helen, the same thing happened to me when we homed Chico. Of course it makes no difference and we always felt honoured because the person who met him before us only wanted boys and therefore didn't home him/her - we always thanked him for pretending to be a girl ! They are both beautiful and I know you will keep us up to date with pics.
-
Ok I am being dumb but my brain cell is tired but is Kali a female name only?
I would leave it at Kali myself ;D
Other names ummmmmmmmmmm Conway errrr maybe not.
Kristian, Kirk, Rufus, Ronald, Rupert

Sounds like the trouble I have with the boys :rofl: Widget follows Guinness everywhere and when I put them back in the cage I try to get Guinness in first as Widget is usually right behind him. Now they are getting fly to it :evillaugh: and I spend ages trying to catch them and put them in together :shify:
-
awwwwwwww lucas is a lovely name Helen :Luv:
-

In my head it is Gill, I think it's a lovely name (obviously as I chose it!) but it's way too girly for my lovely little boy. I've been calling him Lucas (shortened to Lukey when he's being particularly cute :Luv: ) all night and I think it really suits him now.
It sort of feels like they are two different kittens - when I thought he was a girl and they were play fighting I was always telling Riley to leave his poor, defenceless little sister alone and cheering when his poor defenceless little sister beat him up back! It's an even playing field now I know they are both boys and I guess I don't feel as over protective as I did before ;D I'm still as in love with my little baby as I was before, it doesn't matter what sex he is - he's my baby :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Missed all this excitement. You have to keep up, here on Purrs. :rofl:

Interesting... anyway, hugs to the pair of 'em, Helen ;D
-
Hee hee Helen wonder what he (Lucas)thought and the micky taking that he must of had from Riley calling him a girl!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: They are soooo adorable hun I'm gonna love hearing about two naughty lads antics ;D ;D ;D I love the naughty babes :Luv: :Luv:
-
Lucas is a nice name and I bet he thought he was on to a good thing being protected from his brother ;D
-
Lucas is a lovely name..........we had the same thing when we got Indi, were told he was a girl and we thought Indiana was as pretty name and matched the pretty looks.............anyway 1st vacs at the vets and were told she was a he..........so Indiana got shortened to Indi. didn't change it completely tho as we both liked the name. Still to this day I think he was a very pretty looking boy
