She’s a real beauty! Very wise. . . She told me (before I read the other replies) Amber, Ember, or Margaret. What a pretty girl! ---

Ginger. If that’s too boring, how about Ginger Snap? ---

My first impression, and without seeing any other posts in this thread: Murphy. I have no idea why, but that’s what came to mind first when I saw the photo. And i do have a question: does she have any Abyssinian in her? She looks like she might. ---

Cami, Amarilla, Ambarina? Amarilla is the female form of yellow in Spanish, ambarina is the female form of amber in Spanish. Nicknames could be Ria or Rina? ---

We once fostered a small orange tom kitten who we named “Sunny Delight”. And he was, too. I suppose “Navel” would be too weird for an orange cat. How about “Valencia”? ---

When I looked at the picture the name Muriel popped into my mind for some reason. ---

She’s a cutie, isn’t she? I’m sure her name is Bronte though. ---

Her name is most certainly **Sisyphus** (or Sisypuss if you prefer). Yeah, I know Sisyphus was a bloke, and of somewhat ill repute etc, but I saw that aristocratic grecian posturing in the photie and the name immediately came to mind. ---

Just don’t call her John Jacob Jinglehiemer Schmidt. That’s my name. (I dunno why I have to do that, but I gotta) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-my-new-kittys-name/383074.md?page=2)
