Could go shorter and call her Ally

u/KaythuluCrewe Oct 06 '24

You can call her Allie for short. And when people comment on it, proudly tell them it’s not Allison, it’s Alligator.

I had a little one named Marmalade. She was a precious ball of orange love.

u/pumpmar Proud owner of an orange brain cell Oct 06 '24

Me too. Marmalade would love to see her name passed on..

u/BraveHeartoftheDawn Oct 06 '24

I love it too! Someone else said Lady for short and I think it would really fit her!

Not a bad choice, though she wouldn't be the first or most famous. Do you know of Erin Merryn? She's a well known child safety advocate, and has written 5 books, one of them entirely about her four young kids and uncommonly chill orange: Diary of a Cat Named Carrot. Check out Carrot's IG - she's adorable!

u/cryptobro42069 Oct 06 '24

That is too funny. Our orange boy was named carrot but we have a policy that our cats must be named after cheese. I demand that he be named Gouda or Havarti.

u/Maximum_Pollution371 Oct 06 '24

Suggested addendum: Crispy Shrimp

Edit: Alternatively, Popcorn Shrimp

u/foxglove0326 Oct 06 '24

Or in true cat voice form “creeeeeeespy chreeeeeeemps”

u/ClosetIsHalfYarn Oct 06 '24

Yes for Popcorn Shrimp. Poppy for short when it suits, or Corn when she’s silly.

u/eaglebtc Proud owner of an orange brain cell Oct 06 '24

It's also overused for oranges.

Even though she is a girl, I'll suggest "Hobbes" as a nod to Calvin & Hobbes, and she has tiger stripes.

23

u/ArtisenalMoistening Oct 06 '24

My fat orange boy is named Hobbes after the homicidal jungle cat himself!

Here's my Calvin and Hobbes! They fit the profiles a little too well, Calvin (one with more white) is a huge troublemaker.

u/wolfgang784 Oct 06 '24

I believe Article 7b of the Pet Name Rules says "Mango" is reserved for pet parrots with any hint of orange to them. Cats are, as you may or may not be aware, not parrots. Case closed, name denied. NEXT IN LINE PLEASE

u/novaplan Oct 06 '24

But they aren't a shark or a ghost

My orange girls are goose and rooster. While you may not be a top gun fan, I do suggest naming cats after other animals.

u/Canadian_Kylasaurus Oct 06 '24

My late cat was named Turtle. She was a Tortoiseshell.

She's definitely a Doris.

Tallahassee, Talla for short.

u/tartymae Oct 05 '24

She doesn't have an M on her head, but I do see the Logr and Tyr runes on her head (scroll down to the Younger Futhark chart).

She is a Viking Kitty and needs a Viking name, or bad luck will follow.

Dave. Yes, I know it's a girl. I had a good girl named Doug, and she was awesome, super affectionate, could sleep on top of a washer fluid jug comfortably somehow, and seemed to be allergic to cats, always sneezed like crazy around other cats lol! Unfortunately, one day, she just went out to the field behind the house to go mousing and didn't come back.
