[The kitten Bug]
[Still to be named kitten: Ida / Margot / Edith a.k.a. Little Edie / Ludmilla / Minna / Dagmar / Frances?]
After much ogling of photos and compiling long lists of names (still confused on kitten #2 — of those options, which most fits her?) JB and I finally went to meet our new kittens yesterday. It was love at first sight — they are just so freaking cute we could not stand it. We get them the first week of June!
Bug loves to style my hair, as this video by JB attests. She later fell asleep on my shoulder, enveloped in my tresses. So wonderful. See all of our kitten videos here.
Sister kitten giving her most soulful, considering glances while brother kitten (little bear!) plays on the floor:
Sigh. Kittens, I love you! Also, please weigh in with your name vote for kitten #2 in the comments!
A. Ida
B. Margot
C. Edith a.k.a. Little Edie
D. Ludmilla a.k.a. Milla a.k.a. Mew
E. Minna
F. Dagmar
G. Frances


I love Bug and Little Edie the best. I think it rolls.
Very cute. I love little kitten kneading.
Little Eddie all the way. Love!
Sigh kittens indeed. Delicious kitteness. I can smell the little toes
I’m definitely going to have to go with Edith. I love the sound of regal names on cats. And that way she can come and be my Ruprecht’s secret lover when she goes through her teen romance stage!
I think she named herself. Bug.
ah! such cuteness!
I love the name Ida.
I’m still stuck on A) Ida. And those kittens are too cute. Seriously. I’m dying from the cuteness here. (Don’t tell my dog. She’s convinced I’m 100% dog person.)
E!!
Edith
uh, frances. my name of choice in all situations.
Looooove Frances! I’ll add it to the choices.
my choice from your list would be ida. or you could go with bug and boo. i kind of feel like the 1 syllable names fit.
Edith – cause I’m into old lady names for pets
I’ll say little Edie, but she can be a fierce-one with that name:)
She looks like a Little Edie to me! Such cuties!
I vote A.) Ida
HAHAHA, Bug is so affectionate it’s almost embarrassing! Our cat is like that too, although, 3 years later is a little big for shoulder action but she STILL goes for it! So cute.
I like Ida and especially Dagmar, just because they will go well with Bug when you’re yelling at them to stop scratching the sofa (ha).
uh … looks like I’m clearly outvoted on this one, but i can’t help but love Dagmar. Wha?
I like Ida. they are cuteness!
They’re so cute!! i have two cats at home, Xino and Sophie. I really love the name Mew for the kitten, it’s lovely!!
[...] that we have met our future kittens the fun starts: buying them toys! (And, you know, snuggling them.) The first thing I bought was a [...]
IDA!!!!!
such a dork that i’m commenting again but i had a good friend named dagmar back in the day and i would support you in choosing that name as well
Oh my goodness! What beautiful kids
They are both sooo cute! And I dig all your possible names, too. Very cool. My favorite is B. MARGOT. It think it really suits her. But I guess I’m outvoted… hmmm… Anyways, I’m sure she’s gonna make any name truly hers. I’m really jealous about your future kitten-motherhood – it’ll be a blast!
Excuse the mess… my heart has just melted because of these sweet kitties!
My vote is tied between Ida and Little Edie. Whatever name you choose, you four are all going to have such a wonderful life together. Congratulations!
i like Ida or Little Edith. Or Frances (was considering the male Francis for Greg, but eh, sticking with what he knows…GREG!) Overall, BOO! is my fave. Kudos need to go Liane for that genius choice. Bugaboo! Sorry, everything relates to Beyonce nowadays.
Stevie suggested the following names: Meat Kitten and Eat Kitten
Bug is an adorable name for that sweetie!
I think the other pretty girl is definitely Minna.
Minna and Bug. They go together so perfectly.
Congrats on becoming a kitty momma
Thanks! I can’t wait!
Little Edie like in Grey Gardens!!!
I got 2 kittens last year and they are the exact same colors as your little muffins!
