I took in a semi-feral barn kitten, about 2-2.5 months old. She is still a little wild, but I’ve had her since Thursday and she has come a long way in that short time. I couldn’t catch her at the barn, so the barn owner got her for me, and now she comes to me, she allows me to hold and pet her, and she loves belly rubs! She really wants to be with my older cats (she’s FLV/FIV neg., but has roundworms) but they want nothing to do with her. She meows her little heart out whenever she sees them (I am keeping her in a large dog crate with food, water and a litterbox in a bedroom and do let her out to wander in that room), but I am keeping her separated for the time being. I don’t have a name yet but am thinking of Emma, Gwen, Fiona, Bella…I am not sure yet. I will take name suggestions, I’d really appreciate them!

She looks like a Fiona to me. What a cutie! Congratulations! 😃 ---

She’s gorgeous! Sorta witchy-looking, with that varicolored face. Is Trixie too cutesy? ---

With that little black spot under her nose, I would be very hard-pressed to not call her Adolph. Maybe you can call her Ada, and only you need to know what it’s short for. 😃 (And she is a cutey, with those big green eyes and all that long hair.) ---

No way, she’s totally a scruffy Fiona. Aww I just want to hug her! ---

What a beautiful face she has! I shan’t offer naming suggestions, as our new addition is being called Murray - not at all in keeping with her grace and charm. ---

She looks a LOT like the cat we had when I was little-Meow. Since she cries a lot when she sees her older siblings, maybe that would work? ---

She looks so much like another Fiona I’ve known. I say Fiona. 🙂 In late November, we took in a young feral (Willow, because of her pussywillow paws, a tabby and not nearly as beautiful as your kitten, but she is much loved); having been born in the woods Willow came with every possible parasite but like your kitty was negative with the scary stuff. She too is very interested in my 19 year old matriarch cat, who now finally deigns to be nearby her without hissing. I’ve heard that with some cats, things never work out, but Willow shows respect. Hurray for new rescued kitties! ---

Honestly? I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings, but you’ve got a wonderfully funny-looking critter there. For me at least, the extreme variation in her fur suggests, well, a good old-fashioned 19th-century [bearded lady](http://www.missioncreep.com/mundie/gallery/gallery2.htm). The good news is that you can go for broke and name her for one of those well-documented cases of feminine facial hirsuiteness… Jane, Anna, etc. I happen to think she’s more of a “Sidonia” (bottom of link), and that’s a great name for a cat. ---

Awwwwww, I just love her expression in picture 3, she looks so cute! She is a beauty. I like the name Fiona too. Other cat names that I know of are Alice, Pandora, Mehitabel and Eva. ---

That cat is gorgeous. well chosen. What about ‘squeak’ for a name? That’s the noise I made when I saw the pics, and you said it makes a lot of noise. ---

What a beautiful kitten! Gorgeous. SHe looks stately but impish. I think Isabella would be great - Izzy when she’s playing. I recently got a new siamese cat from the pound - Sabrina. She brought an upper resperiatory infection to all my cats, but they’re all better now. StG ---

With her coloration, she almost looks like a person in a cat costume. I think that you should call her Irena, after Nastassja Kinski’s character in the movie _Cat People_. ---

Awww, she’s smiling in picture three! I like Isabella, but instead of Bella, you can always call her Izzy for short. And I’m not just saying that because I had an Isabella/Izzy who was the best cat in the world 😃 . ---

yeesh! you people are slurping on some weak ass cat names… …fiona? you may as well go with “tammy” or “fluffy” …okay, fiona IS a pretty name, but that’s not the point. it’s just too…feline…too overly feminine. what about “bree”? is that a good compromise? …or am i utterly outvoted here? (waiting for the"yeah, you’re outvoted" confirmation) ---

Well, she can’t have The Magnificent Fangmeyer, because that’s what we’re naming our next cat. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-new-kitty-pictures/341148.md?page=2)
