I am registering my litters of kittens and want a literary theme possibly children's books. I have Huckleberry Finn, Just William possibly Pollyanna . I thought also of Paddington Bear, does anyone else know any famous bears? I need 11 names for 3 girls and 8 boys anyone got any ideas - what was your favourite book as a child, perhaps? Thanks folks I am stuck!!

Any reason you want bear names and not cat names?

Pink Panther
Top Cat
Garfield
Tom
Bagpuss
Gobolino
Scary McClarey
Jess
Slinky Malinky
Thomas OMalley
Mercavitee
Si
Am
RumTum Tugger
Mog
Korky
Felix
Sylvester

A few for now.......

Iguana

Milly, Molly and Mandy for the females?
Or Enid Blyton for inspiration?

I forgot about Macavity ... I love that poem! You could definitely say that was a literary name!


Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
There never was a Cat of such deceitfulness and suavity.
He always has an alibi, and one or two to spare:
At whatever time the deed took place - MACAVITY WASN'T THERE!
And they say that all the Cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
(I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone)
Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who all the time
Just controls their operations: the Napoleon of Crime!

T S Elliot and cats should provide lots of inspiration!!

I've just typed fictional bears into google and wikpedia has come up with quite a few names/options.

Famous Bear:
My little brother was given a cuddly Pola Bear as a baby (I've since snitched it:D ) he's called Pipaluk after the baby born at London Zoo.

If you go down the route of literary names then you could use Dickens characters there's some wonderful names, my fave is Mr Swiveller!

There's a series of older kids books about cats called Wariors - they have wonderful names like Greystripe, Tigerpaw and Fireheart, Bluestar etc.

Then you can always expand - there is another set of six books after the initial six in Warriors.;)
