    I like Alfie, though have never met a Ginger one called Alfie.

    Other names perhaps:

    Sidney
    Oscar
    Dave
    Keith
    Evans
    Rascal
    Jackson
    Cooper
    Ryan
    Raider
    Zorro

    A few are a bit whacky but hey! Why not!



    Thanks for the post on my diary.

    These are good! I'm hoping i'll see him in his fluffy cuddly state and the name will come to me....or maybe they've already named him.....hope not!

    Oh, I had a ginger kitten living across for me and it used to bound everywhere, it was so cute - it's name was Tigger! I loved that wee kitten - it has now moved away!

    I like mogget. Karen by the sound of it PP were awful - it will also be really good if Barclays do knock all the interest off and get you a little further on! Good luck hope the sun is shining where you are

    Awhh, how sweet, and he will actually be good company for you when OH on funny shifts at night. Be prepared for some possible scratching of your walls and/or furniture. But enjoy him, he will be such good fun. I like the name Oscar. Hope you manage to post a picture of him for us to see.
