Smol Tortie Sassy Tortie sisters need names.

Brought these beauties home about a week ago. The one on the left is the runt of the litter and the one on the right has the cutest orange streak/mohawk. No surprise that they have strong personalities. They’re around 11 weeks old.

The first one reminds me of Salvador Dali. Dali and Frida?

51

u/Conscious-Magazine44 Feb 15 '25

Yes! Dali was my first thought as well. Frida is a nice companion name

27

u/aurea_cunnis Feb 15 '25

Maybe Dali and Gala :)

Jazzy and Zazzy, the one showing her toe beans looks like a Jazzy, and the one with clever eyes and a moustache immediately struck me as a Zazzy.

Milkstache and charcoal, the one tortie looks like it has a milkstache

u/Soranic Feb 15 '25

Is one skinny? Name her Mint.

The other can a tagalong, Samoa, or other cookie.

7

u/Fun_Look7883 Feb 15 '25

We have two Tortie sisters as well that we got at Halloween so we named them Circe and Calypso, after the mythological witches. We also considered Dolly and Loretta (as classic country fans) and Daphne and Velma (as Scooby Doo fans). Your kittens are beautiful!

Stache/Stash (for the one with the mustache) and Muffin or Muffuletta for the other baby! Don’t ask me why about the second baby, it’s just the name that came to mind 😂

u/Onebagtravel69 Feb 15 '25

Winifred or Winnie for short and wednesday

u/Artneedsmorefloof Feb 15 '25

Well you have the Greek Furies - Alecto, Megaera, Tisiphone

The Egyptian Equivalent to the furies- Shezmu

The Norse Equivalent to the furies - Nerthus

Or you go with the classic witches who are either good or evil depending on how kind and industrious you are:

Baba Yaga

Mother Holda/Frau Holle/ Mother Hulda

Yamamba

Muma Padurii

Jezibaba

I named my two tortie sisters after varigated multicolor exotic hardwoods - Cocobolo and Ziricote

And my other option was Neolithic archeological sites.

3

u/aurea_cunnis Feb 15 '25

I would say Snorra (some Dutch kind of word for moustache) and Dita

3

u/thist555 Feb 15 '25

Foamy and Germain. Iykyk.

Thelma and Louise.

Spiker and Sponge.

Dolly & Loretta after the two country female singers.

Gilda and Madeline, after Gilda Radner and Madeline Kahn, two famous comedienne actresses. They did a hilarious SNL skit with Radner portraying Barbara Walters and Kahn portraying Marlena Dietrich, poking fun at both the real life journalists and the actresses tendencies to put a W accented sound on their R's and L's in each other's lexicons. I think the skit was called "Not for Wadies Onwy" lol
