Male or female? If it's a girl, maybe name her after a famous red-head (like Lucille Ball). If it's a male, maybe something having to do with a tiger...names are elluding me right now, but those are just some ideas.

 

I like the name Marmalade for and orange cat.

 

My Mom had an orange tabby named Pumpkin when she was little. She still talks about him. Or what about famous tiger's names: Raja from Aladdin?

 

I used to have an orange tabby named "Rusty" (for obvious reasons). Always liked that name.....

 

Joe wants an orange tabby one day so that he can call him "Timmy." *shrug* Strange boy hehe. Cute name tho.

 

Here's some ideas for orange cat names (based simply on the color since you haven't shared any other bits about the cat!)...

~~~female~~~
Auburn
Garnet
Ketzia (ket-ZEE-ah) Hebrew a cinnamonlike bark
Lilly-low1 a bright flame, British
Lokilani (loh-ke-LAH-nee) hawaiian small red rose/heavenly rose
Lollybanger gingerbread with raisins
Mirador reddish/orange
Paprika
Rosabel
Ruby
Souri/Suri Persian red rose
Souzan Persian burning, flaming
~~~male~~~
Aerugo (ee-ROO-go) Rust
Caboose
Pirro (PEER-roh) Spanish name 'with flaming hair'
Questzal (KEHT-sehl) large green/red bird worshipped by Aztecs; Guatamala national emblem
Alani (ah-LAH-nee) Hawaiian orange
Gingerbit
Ginseng
Iiwi (ee-EE-wee) Hawaiian bird with brilliant red feathers
Keegan or Kegan - gael - irish liitle & fiery one

I'm going to get a little orange tabby Maine Coon... his name shall be Mr. Pumpkin... and he shall be fluffy and sweet and fat... yes... yes my plump little Pumpkiny goodness... how I'll love you! *squeezy* *pet* *pet* *realizes she's been holding her bookbag* Uh? Darn those kitty fantasies! I'll just have to play with my little fluffy sweetums Halifax until I get him a couple friends.

You should name him/her Pumpkin... it's such a cute name! But in the end it's up to you. *goes back to day dreaming*

 

I'm going to get a little orange tabby Maine Coon...

Haha -- that's an oximoron isn't it??

Anyway -- when I name cats, I try to imagine them having a say in it. If I pick a name and I can see them with an unamused look on their face saying "yes...my mom named me Fluffy...wanna make something of it?"....chances are I have picked a silly name. Think about your kitty having to tell his friends that his name is Floofypants. Think about it...would YOU want to be named Floofypants? Not likely. You'd be the kid at school getting wedgies and flushies from upperclassmen every day. Give your kitty a name that doesn't make it sound like a little pink stuffed animal with glitter all over it's head.

I was watching the animal channel today and I saw a woman who named two bear cubs after presidents -- like taking their middle name or last name. I thought that was pretty cool, provided she didn't name them Kerry or Bush! (...sorry 'bout that...)

 

if i ever got an orange cat, i'd name him/her Cheddar!

 

My aunt has a orange tabby and she calls him 'Roughy' for Orange Roughy.

 

Hi there,
my two favorite so far are "Raja" and "Cheddar". Ho about "Irish", because the cat's a redhead?
Good luck with the naming, I'm in the same boat. We are getting our kitten in about two weeks and still need to decided!

Well, I happen to like the name "Gaylord" for orange tabbies......not that I am biased or anything :lol: :lol: :lol:

My cat, Gaylord, says HI:

 

Orange tabby

What about the name Garfield? Have you ever read a book on Garfield? He had a little kitten friend come stay with him called Nermal.

15 years ago when I got my second kitten, I called him Nermal. But don't have an orange tabby.

My neighbour used to have an orange tabby and they named him Albert. If its a girl Alberta.

Let us know what you decide upon

Karen

 

I have an orange tabby here he is

His name is Tango, like the fizzy orange drink, they had the 'you've been Tangoed' adverts in the UK (don't know if they had them anywhere else so you might not know what I'm going on about)

 

Just for you Gabreilla - pictures of Dylans Daddy - Robb Roy

and Dylans Grandmother - Peanutbutter

 

Oh -- in the same vein as naming him Irish...I really like the name Dublin for an orange cat!

 

We almost named Addison Dublin. It just didn't suit her, but I was disappointed about that.

Dylan has the same face structure as his Dad, don't ya think?

 

I love Robb Roy's face structure. Scully's face is a lot less solid, but she has the same very square chin. Love it!

 

Macavity!

As in the Broadway's Cats musical character. He was so cool :lol: Here are the lyrics: http://www.inlyrics.com/lyrics/W/Webber Andrew Lloyd/168165.html

 

I always thought MANGO would be a really cute name for an orange cat. I love mangoes...

 

lol - Mango reminds me of SNL, with Chris Kattan.

 

so has a name been chosen for your cat? what was the verdict?

 

How about Ginger? I think that's a great name for an orange kitty.

 

in naming yuor kitten you could do what I did... i just woke up in the middle of the night and named him bentley... we should of named him harley.. cause he purrs liek one... lol...


good orange cat name...
pooh bear...


or just watch its personalitty and name it based off of how he/she acts...

or you could name it bob

 

I think pumpkin is cute. My mother - in - law has two orange cats and their names are Mango and Tang. My best friend has an orange cat named Max (?) and her mom has an orange cat with a real original name - Orange! They actually named the cat Orange, and I am really not kidding. Isn't that funny?
