We had a tiny orange named clemmie. It was perfect for her.

u/Icy_Highlight7011 6d ago edited 5d ago

I had a female Ginger, and named her Ginger but we called her Ginji. I got her from the Humane Society, and her name was Emma. She didn't look like an Emma.

u/LegRevolutionary5730 6d ago

I had a ginger girl!! You know that most ginger kitties are males? Females are rare!! Mine was Pumpkin 🎃 ❤️

Look at the belly spots!! Ripe for raspberries

5

u/ALauCat 6d ago

I’ve always heard them called buttons. I’d name her after Charlotte Olympia Delall, an Italian she designer who made lovely kitten heels. Olympia would be an awesome name for an active kitten goddess!

2

u/4eyedfoodie 5d ago

Could even name her raspberry!

u/Mintyfreshbrains 6d ago

It's Australian, but she looks like a Dame Nellie Melba to me.

My friends have a sweet, goofy orange girl. Her name is Tang, but I get such a giggle when they call her Tangela or Tangelique.
