Here are the nameless kittens:
this is the little girl tortoiseshell. One of two tortoise shells, this one is darker than her sister with not quite as much red coloring. She does have one white back foot. Which might technically make her a calico.
this one is a definite Calico, she's got lots of white and big red and gray splotches. Also some tabby. This one has a feisty personality and will fight to the death to pull one of her siblings off of the nipple she wants. She was formally called Mayhem but that doesn't seem like a good way to get her adopted.
this is the dark male, probably likely to be a dark tabby, even darker than gray. He started out being the smallest when they were born, but he has gained an ounce every two days, more than any of the others. Thinking about calling him Onyx because of his coloring.
this is the other boy in the litter. He loves to eat and he has a big round white tummy to show for it. He's got lots of white, his chin, chest, tummy, and all four paws. Looks like he'll be a gray Tabby with medium long hair. You can see his left eye is starting to open! Then he can start getting in real trouble.
this is the other tortoiseshell in the litter. She has a lot more coloring than the first one, more red and white. Even half of her little face looks white. And one front leg is white. Again, she might be a calico because of that. She also appears to be quite feisty and takes her meal time very seriously.
Any and all names will be considered! Although potty mouth names and those with more then one capital letter and any symbols are not likely to be chosen.
You can name all five, hopefully using a theme. Or just pick names for individual kittens.
We are currently considering gemstones, and here are the current thoughts (and thank you to Rusty and MsB for the gem options):
Naming the 2 boys Onyx and Jade (the 2 most masculine names) and the little calico Topaz.
Other gem options are Diamond, Ruby, Emerald, Topaz, Sapphire (I'm partial to that name), Onyx, Garnet, Jade, Amber, Opal, Pearl.
