I haven't got a name for my new cat. I've never had problems naming cats before, but NewCat has defied naming so far.

I've been calling him Sunshine, because he's that type of cat, but I really can't call him that because then at the vets they'll call "Sunshine" and people will snort.

I had a whole list of names. It was *planned*

1. Trescothick - This was the originally planned name, so that I could have opening batsmen cats. However, I'm not sure he's a TrescothickCat, despite living in cupboard.

2) McClaren - because he's all wide eyed and innocent and much faster than I thought he would be.

3) McKenzie - not for any particular reason, but McKenzie is an excellent cat name.

4) Morkel - because he's very young and keen and fast, but not always terribly accurate and exactly the kind of cat to find himself in the groundsmen's shed.

5) Herschelle - This is a bit of a surprise, but I think he may suit Herschelle as a name. He dashes and leaps and spent an hour and a half playing with a sponge scourer he found in the bathroom. And I would have opening bastmen cats, just not the ones I intended.

Non cricketing name suggestions are welcome, but these five are fantastic Cat names.

Can we have a picture of the cat? Maybe then we could help you decide.

Well, you could, except for the fact I don't have a camera and I don't know how to get pictures to show up on here. I will attemot to borrow a camera soon.

He's small and fluffy and white with a tabby tail.

Morkel is an awesome cat name!

They're all excellent cat names! The problem is I have too many!

Whatever you do, don't name it Simon, because you'll be forking out for knee surgery every 6 weeks...

*makes note* good point...

Are you suggesting that at some point in the past, Herschelle has amused himself for an hour and a half with a scouring sponge?

[lemonbella.livejournal.com]

Herschelle's the type to be able to amuse himself with anything

[indian-skimmer.livejournal.com]

If you do call him Herschelle you'll have to learn to pronounce it.

You could call him Special Agent Sunshine, but that's really not much better, is it?

[lemonbella.livejournal.com]

It's excellent. But that's just going to sound worse at the vets.

[fringedweller.livejournal.com]

You could give him a vet-friendly name (Socks, or Buttons, or some such) and then his real, private name.

I agree that Morkel is an awesome cat name.

We have 'Perkins' optioned for our eventual cat.

McClaren brings to mind Steve McClaren for the more football-minded, so maybe not that one? What with Steve McClaren being rubbish at international managing and all.

I quite like Herschelle - it sounds like it kind of fits too. And I second (third, fourth) that Morkel is an awesome cat name.

My cat is Dickens. I was going for Charles Dickens, but ended up with a little dickens! My bad.

I'm trying out Herschelle for the next three days and then trying out Morkel. This time next week he will have an official name.
