I'm not much of a cat person. I prefer dogs, though to be honest I'm better off without pets. But this sweet little orange kitty has been living in my garage since the beginning of winter. In a moment of weakness last night I brought her inside and fed her chopped liver, and brushed all the dead plant bits out of her fur. Now she loves me, and I can't put her back outside.
Damn it, I'm a writer. I can name stories and characters without a problem, but I'm completely retarded when it comes to naming pets. When I was a kid, I had a dog named Puppy. I had a goldfish that lived to the ripe old age of 11, its name was Fish.
Would anyone like to name my kitty for me?

My brother just got a kitten, he called it Sabre - cool name, but they little thing is very cute, and doesn't really suit it's new moniker.
Maybe you should name it Veracity, then you can be 'Veracity and Velocity'.
Or something random (for a cat) like Shane or Steve.
Or a few letters, like NEC, TGE or PC - then when people ask what the letters stand for, you can give them a different answer every time (PC - peanutbutter cookie, politically correct, pastry chef, partially crazy)
Sorry - It's too early in the morning for this.

My cat's called Mr. Tippy. As you can see, I'm terrible at naming pets as well. Don't ask me. (but then again, since your's is female, you could call it Mrs. or Miss Tippy.)

My dogs names are pokey, curly, and igor. Well actually igor's name is maggie but i refuse to call her that, sometimes i settle with maggot. Even if she's only a tiny Chihauhau, she needs a name with some balls!
Um...kitty names...i like names that are either:
*rediculous like curly pokey, ie. something stupid and that doesn't relate to the animal at all.
*something formal, like Henry George the III (what my sister decided to name her cat at age three?! - she refused to only call it Henry, or George, but it had to be henry george the third. oh dear)

Put aside several hours and hit the baby name finders. Those things are brilliant for pet names... (you have stumbled upon a private obsession of mine to name things...my cat's called Eli Smith, my pc - Keith, my ibook- Yuki, my car was Fifi (RIP)....)
What about "Cam" it's a vietnamese girls name meaning sweet, orange fruit as well as being a normal name.

Hmm - the name of your cat depends so ...
Hmm - the name of your cat depends so much on your concept of the relationship you'll be having with it and what sort of nature it has - we had a cat called Boris which was a totally appropriate name for someone of his temperament. Calling your kitten Cat (or Kat) in line with your earlier naming conventions won't reflect a very grown up attitude on your part to this relationship and may cause severe psychological damage once the kitten realises that you haven't gone beyond her genus - unless maybe its short for Catherine the Great.
I do have one suggestion, made without any knowledge of this cat, so it may not prove appropriate, but I was thinking of Lucifer. Of course, there may be harm done if the kitten is female and sees Lucifer as purely a male name, but I'd suggest she get over it. I think before Lucifer made his play for power, he was a pretty good sort, 2IC in heaven and so on, and it will bring with it sugestions of your home being heaven, you being God (rather than letting the cat think she is) and the name evokes the idea of light. Or maybe you could just run with Lucy as the name?

The ten most Abused Names for Cats
Fog , Cat, Cleo, Tinny, Tabby, Morris, Midnight, Samantha, Grimalkin, Mr Patches
And if I may a poem by T.S.Eliot on "The Naming Of Cats"
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't one of your holiday games:
You may think at first that I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES
First of all, there's the name that the family uses daily,
such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, Gorge or Bill Bailey --
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter --
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name thats peculiar, and more dignifed,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendiclar,
Or spread out his wiskers, or cherish pride?
Of names of this kind, can I give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellyorum --
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name you will never guess:
The name that no human research can discover --
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditaion,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the tought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular name.
