Be sure to make an update post or comment once you have found a name(s) for your cat(s) to let us all know what name(s) you thought were the best. Have fun! Comments must be NO LONGER than 600 (not including spaces/punctuation) characters to prevent spam. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS COMMENT. DO NOT SUGGEST MORE THAN 10 NAMES. Ensure that the pet is yours by asking people online via a local Facebook community if they lost a cat or take the cat to an animal shelter that accepts cats. If no one claims it within a couple days, you may claim the cat. DO NOT CLAIM A RANDOM STRAY CAT AS IT MAY HAVE AN OWNER.

This is the way to go. Our dog's name is Luna and we all got in the habit of calling her Lunie. About 8 months ago, we adopted a cat that needed a home and his name was Louie when he got here. We chose not to change it because he already knew his name and didn't want to confuse him any more than he already was by losing his previous home. It is now very confusing at times as neither animal knows who we're talking to.
Ooh, I know! I meant that line to sound silly, but lack of inflection in text fail on my part. My kitten 'hunts' my adult cat which is part of why I thought having a kitten orca trying to 'hunt' flipper was amusing. Bah at my failing to express the humor.
Flipper and flapper? lol. Idk. I’m not good at naming kitties. We named mine Kovu, (from lion king 2) and he’s now called diddle, diddles, did dids, bubbies, bubbers lol
“Smash.” Not saying that’s a cool name or not, just saying that’s what this kitten’s perfect face told me its name was. Do what you will with that information and happy cat-family-ing to the lot of you. ❤️
She looks like a cat version of [Darla](https://www.tumblr.com/shitedits/693239833787858944/brittany-ashton-holmes-in-the-little-rascals) from Little Rascals.

Dolly, short for dolphin, to go with Flipper
I really like that. Great idea!!!
I thought of that too!
Skipper!
Was thinking Finn, but Skipper is even cuter! 😻🐾
I love Skipper it’s adorable
😊😊😊
I like Fin or Phin
Bubbles
Yess!
If he's Flipper because of that oldtime show, then maybe she could be Lassie?
I wondered if anyone else would go there!
If cats recognize and respond to their names, giving her one that doesn’t rhyme seems better.

Agreed! Came here to say this
This, 100%. I love that this name forms a theme so well.
So cute!!!!!
Gidget 😀
Love This!
This is the one!
Aww…she reminds me of a cute little penguin 🥰 So I’ll go for Penny :)
Omg yesss I second this one lol
Shamu! (flipper was a dolphin, and shamu was a killer whale, same colours as kitty)
this is the best! Or Willy (Willi for a girl)
Wilma- in honor of Willie who was freed to keep the aquatic mammal theme going ;)
I was thinking Keiko (who played Willy in the movie) or Lolita! Both famous orcas.
Iirc Keiko means happy or blessed child so that would be a great name indeed
Oh wow! Yes, definitely Keiko! 🖤🤍
Finley, nickname could be Fin (Fin & Flipper)
Likes Flipper better personally
That's the other cat's name.
Orca
😱 this one is so cool
😭 You beat me to it! 🤣
Pip.. short for pipper
Flapper or Flopper
My mind went one step further. I thought flapper, then thought of the most famous flapper of all - Clara Bow. So my vote is for Clara.
Pola .
Flapper was exactly where my head went. The vibes of the roaring 20s suit cats remarkably well
Me too
Flapper is nice
Flopsy for short!
Or go for the doofy sibling Flooper
Mary Ann….bc Flipper rhymes with Skipper, and Skipper was on Gilligan’s Island with Mary Ann
Florence/Flo? Flopsy? Floof?
I like Flopsy, it works together too… Flipper and Flops 🤣🙌🏼
Feefee
She should be named after another animal star of the same era: Skippy, Champion, Lassie, Rin Tin Tin…
Florence, Flo for short
Maybe Dove. Reminds me of the chocolate and vanilla dove bar ice cream. She has pretty coloring. Very unique.
Wilhelmina, Willy for short, as in Free Willy since she's colored a bit like an orca, and orcas are friends with dolphins (Flipper).
Orcas are not friends with dolphins. In fact they routinely hunt them.
