My name is Veronica and Roni is my nickname and my parents decided to spell it the way it is in my name, veRONIca. I am just curious if you choose Roni as in Maca…. Roni or a different reason? Me and my family have been having this debate since we came across your post. We have been looking for names For my new companion, an orange and white boy Lol

    We had an outside cat who had kittens, but only one made it, but unfortunately it was an orange female cat, so we struggled on finding a name. The best thing to do is to wait and find out their personalities, it will help a lot… I am honestly positive it will be a great idea!!!

    I have a kitten (who has six toes at the front and five toes at the back ) who showed up sleeping on our car engine. So I get to keep it. My mum said we could call it lemur because it had strips on its tail. I thought Leo or Leopard because of his spots on his tummy. WHAT SHOULD I CALL HIM?

    I worked at a bed-and-breakfast in Switzerland and the owner named all of her animals after food. Like her cute black and white Portuguese water dog was named Toblerone and her orange kitty cat was named Cornflakes. We are getting an orange maine coon / Ragdoll mix kitten and my son wants to name him muffins but my husband thinks that’s too emasculating LOL. I love the name Aslan from CS Lewis’ The Lion the witch and the wardrobe but none of my family get it. So then I’m thinking Aspen because we all love Colorado Although aspen trees turn golden yellow and not orange…We promised my son he could name him. He threw out the idea of pumpkin before going to school this morning. I’m going to offer Cornflakes when he gets home to see what he thinks about that. Frosted Flakes maybe? But we don’t want the kitty to think he’s an airhead LOL

    Satsuma hasn’t come up on lists which is surprising so I bet satsuma is a rare name for orange cats also Seville is another orange not really seen on lists
    I like the name squash, scorch and phoenix aswel
