We're picking up our 2 new boys from the shelter on Friday and I figured I'd call upon the collective creativity of you all for some name suggestions to get us going. In the absence of pictures (which will follow once they are home, I promise), I'll give a brief description of each.

Kitten 1: Looks like he has some MC in him--he's got big ear tufts already. He's a mackeral tabby, but I'm not sure if he's brown or blue--his stripes are black and the contrasting color is grey-ish with some tan. He's outgoing and cuddly; not terribly bold, but playful and not shy.

Kitten 2: They thought at the shelter he's part Siamese because he has pointed markings, but his fur is longer and he doesn't have the angular face or big ears. I thought maybe some Ragdoll, as he's very quiet, loves to collapse on your shoulder, is remarkably calm and laidback. His base color is a deep dark bluish grey and he has black points (I hope I have that term correct) on his face, ears and legs. Actually I would be really interested to know what that color is called, because I can't find anything on like that looks like him. He's beautiful though.

So far for names we've come up with Bret for Kitten 1 and Jemaine for Kitten 2, and we like Dexter, but can't think of anything that goes with it......so, any suggestions are eagerly awaited, and any help on what to call their colors too!

I like MacKenzie---kind of goes along with Gratch's proud Scots themed names

Is Stan a South Park reference?

Hudson is nice too, but not sure about Harlem, although the them is fun. Too bad the river here isn't a cool name---Can't really name a cat Chemung!

And Ben and Jerry is cute (as well as my favorite icecream), but one of those is the name of an ex, so that would never do
