What's In A Name?

I need some help!  I have this new, adorable, 4 month old little boy kitten, and I don't know what to name him!  He is solid black, with medium length hair. I had mentioned to my sister a couple of weeks ago that I have always wanted a solid black kitty, and when her neighbor (who works for a veterinarian) brought this adorable little fellow home to "foster care" until he could find a permanent home, my sister knew just who to call!  I went to see him Friday night, and it was love at first sight.  I was a little worried about what Cotton would think about the situation, but despite a few grumbles and growls at first, he now loves his new little brother and they play and have a great time together.  The girls from Diamond Hill Veterinary hospital named him Harry Potter, but somehow, that just doesn't suit him.  But the problem is, I don't know what does!  Some of the names in the running now are Salem, Harley, and Karma.  So far, I can come up with dozens of cute names for girl kitties, but not for boy kitties!  So, if anyone has any suggestions, please, I would love to hear them!  As for knitting, it just became a bit more difficult as it causes quite a stir with the new kitten!  It seems he loves to knit!!!!  Because he enjoys knitting with mommy so much, I was trying to think of a cute knitting related name for him.  Any suggestions??????

Congratulations on your new baby!  He is just adorable!  I love black kitties too!  As for names...the first thing I thought of when I saw him was "Limo", short for Limosine.  I had a black girl kitty named Limo!  But as for knitty names...let's see.  "K2" - only a knitter would understand it!  Or "YO" - hehehe!  Or "Cable" or "Stitch" or "Bobble" (probably better for a girl kitty! or "Bob" for short!) or "Sport" (weight!) or "Caston" (get it...cast on?!).  Okay, I think I've gone overboard!  Good luck with picking out a name!

Such a cute kittie! Maybe midnight? Or knitting related, Cashmere? Hope you find a name:)

Hi,
I don't have any idea how I stumbled upon your posting....I was actually looking up how to make dishtowel grocery bag holders.  Anyway, your adorable, sweet little boy kitty is the spitting image of our 14 year old cat who we just lost due to complications of diabetes.  His name was Stanley and he was the best cat in the world.  I know I'm biased, but Stanley was a great name for him.  My husband walked in the room and saw the picture and thought I had dug up pics of our little guy when he was a kitten.  We miss him horribly.  He was a great cat.  I vote for Stanley.  Stan for short.  Stan the man.  Stan-meister.  Stanley stanley bo banley.... they're all great!!
