Name for a rescue kitten

Hi everyone,

So, I'm about to take in a little kitten that was rescued over the summer, but the person who found him has already asked me to pick a name.

He was part of a litter found in a hay rack, having had a very narrow escape (the mum had left them there, and they were seconds away from being trampled by cows or starving to death).

I'm looking for a name, ideally something foreign-sounding, that would suit him.

I came across 'Tchoda', for instance, which means 'miracle' in Hungarian, but I'm not 100% convinced, so I'm looking for other ideas if there are any bilingual folks on here x)

Thanks!

    Milagro (with the accent)... and that says it all!

    I’ll give it a go!

    Given the kitten’s story, I personally think Ratatouille would be a great name!

    Okay, so it doesn't sound especially exotic, but since he was found in a hay rack and nearly ended up getting squashed, I think it really tells his story—plus it’s quite a unique name! ✌

    Or Reiki if you want a zen cat

    I’d actually thought of that haha, I did some research for a project on Reiki once!

    Hi there, I’ve got some name ideas if you like: Daiki – it’s Japanese and means 'great hope'; Akemi – that’s Japanese too and it means 'bright beauty' or 'lovely twilight'; and lastly, you could call them Scamp, though I’m not sure if that one has a particular meaning 🙂 Anyway, have a lovely day!

    Thanks! I really like Daiki.

    I’m not sure why, but I see Akemi more as a name for a girl :)

    If cats really do live up to their names, I’d much rather take my chances with Sputnik than Rasputin 😂

    Haha, I was also looking for names starting with R and I’d thought about Reykjavik too because I fell in love with Iceland, but I agree, I think it’s a bit of a mouthful for a cat 😂

    I’ve given up on the R idea, even though I really liked Romy for a girl, but mine’s going to be a little lad.

    Otherwise, for place names, I found Peru for a boy, and I’d also thought about Budapest (as I was supposed to go there this summer, but cheers for that, Covid!) or Haifoss (my favourite waterfall in Iceland, but then again, it is Icelandic!)

    Yeah, I thought it was a really cute name too, which is why I suggested it actually. So glad you like it! 👌

    Hi there, I’ve got a few name ideas if you’re looking: Daiki is Japanese and means ‘great hope’. Akemi is also Japanese and means ‘bright beauty’ or ‘beautiful twilight’. And lastly, you could call them Rascal, though I’m not sure if that one has a special meaning 🙂 Anyway, have a lovely day! Akemi is so sweet. I knew a lovely boy called Okami once, I think that name is just irresistible ♥
