She looks like a Cindy (cinderella) to me :Luv:

That one was on my list funnily enough - as was Lindy or Mindy (as in Mork and Mindy - anyone remember that? - oh before your time I know!   ;)  )

It's pronounced like Sally with K at the beginning.  Lucas would be honoured if you did decide to call her Kali, no pressure though ;)

Ah, ok thought it was said that way - still thinking about names.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - how about Kali?  I've been trying to convince people to call their furless and furred babies Kali ever since my little girl was cruelly taken from me and replaced with a boy  :evillaugh:

LOL! I do like that Helen, do you say it Kally or Kar-ly?

I also thought of Kaycee/KC/Casey (like the first spelling or initials best) - what about that?

I like your idea Gillian "Tufty", seriously!!  It's definitely her!!  :wow:

"Sparky" is cute too me thinks, I often like boyish name on girls, especially if they are a bit of tomboy.  But Tufty is good, I like it!! ;D

I like Gwyn!  Like Lynn, I fnd it easy to say.  But she's not my cat so it has to be something you find rolls off the tongue easily, Gillian.  I will find it difficult to get used to another name, but I will!  Like Helen's Lucas  ;)  Can't imagine him as Kali now  ;D

I've got used to her being called Gwyn now.  I always wanted my cats named after show girls so they were supposed to be Tilly, Lola and Tallulah but I've ended up only with a Tilly because the other two were ruled out!  Best not ask me she'll end up sounding like a lady of the night!

I know it has got nothing whatsoever to do with "Gwyndala"  but if I ever saw her I can imagine myself nicknaming her "sparkles", as her signature ear whisker reminds me a bit of sparklers (is that how they are called? 

Also "Piccola", too, Italian for "tiny" and it has a lovely lilt to its sound.  Only problem is that probably she won't remain so "piccola" for too long!! :evillaugh:

How about Sparky then? for her ear sparklers - possible, although I think of that more as a boys name? The ear whiskers are called tufts - maybe Tufty? LOL!

Piccola I like - but not sure if it suits her - but don't really know now what suits her LOL!

OK, don't know about you, but I am having visions of purrs members all around the country sitting at their computers chanting Gwennie, Gillie, Ginni to themselves. The men in white jackets will be working overtime methinks :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

LOL!  :rofl: :rofl: (actually I like your spelling of Ginni without the E on the end)

Gwyn's name
« Reply #1 on: November 18, 2007, 14:56:41 PM »
I'm struggling with Gwyn's name! - the full name is Gwyngala, which is Cornish for September (because she comes from Cornwall and I got her in September) which I like the idea of - has some meaning etc, but - it aint half difficult to say! I tend to call her Gwynnie or Gwyn, but even those arent easy on the tonque I find. Most of the time I call her 'Kitty' LOL!, because everytime I came in the door when I first got her , I'd call her with - kittty, kitty, kitty!

Her 'official' name will always be Gwyngala, but I want to choose another name to actually 'talk' to her with LO! I was thinking either stick with Kitty (oh how original!) or maybe Ginnie, or Gillie (thats Gillie with a hard G - we don't want to be Gillian and Jilly LOL!!) - like Hayley Mills as the little girl Gillie in Tiger Bay (oh I know, showing my age again!!)

Its either that or think of something completely different from any of those, dunno, just thinking out loud really!  :-:
