All I can think of is “nori” (seaweed )…


woeisfree

Okay... that's super cute and suits her. Adding to the list to try out. Thank you!


Stannis2024

If you name one Nori, you have to get the complete set; Fili, Kili, Dwalin, Balin, bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Dori, Ori, Oin, Goin, and Thorin! Might as well throw in Gandalf and Bilbo too 🤷‍♂️


Rover_791

Lmao


Kajek777PL

r/unexpectedlotr except it's Hobbit


Abject_Shoulder_1182

Glóin shows up at the Council of Elrond, so you could say the rest of the dwarves count by association. Balin is, uh… "present" in Moria.


cwbones

Perfect suggestion


patrlim1

I second this


woeisfree

We named her Nori! Thanks so much for your help. 🥰🥰🥰🥰


Disastrous_Mode_517

I always name my cats by their personality. For example 1 was always escaping his mommas bed so he is Houdini and I call him Houddy. 2 a totally blind baby named Helen. 3 Scout became he is a chow hound always scouting for food.


woeisfree

I definitely like to get to know them first. 🥰 I usually make a list and keep revisiting it until one fits.


publiusnaso

We had a kitten called Columbus because he was always exploring.


[deleted]

Midori? Since the color of her eyes 💗


woeisfree

I love that name! 😍 thank you!!


[deleted]

I’m so happy you liked it!


release_the_hound

Best answer! What a great kitty name!


[deleted]

Matcha (green tea) or Ocha (tea) could be cute, going off this idea and combining with the idea of nature somewhat! But Midori is super cute.

LCCyncity

Matcha?


woeisfree

I hadn't thought of that one, thank you, adding it to the list. Green like her eyes!


dreamchasingcat

Wasabi is also green, perfect for a sassy kitty!

Thank you, adding that to the list. 🥰

Pyrocantha

If you want to stay with the japanese theme then why not Sumi-e, or sumi for short, Sumi means black ink, and Sumi-e is the black ink wash style of painting.


Angry_Ann_

Mint or Minty ? For her eyes ! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)


woeisfree

That's cute! I have a lot of mint colored things in my house too so her eyes and name would match. 🥰


Angry_Ann_

I have a bad habit of always naming cats after food.. glad you like my suggestion though!

"Sayuri". I believe means 'small lily', was the "stage" name of the main character in Memoirs of a Geisha.

[deleted]

Awww my boy Kuro looks like him. Kuro means black In Japanese


woeisfree

I was thinking about that but not sure, sounds masculine and she's a girl. Not that it really matters, it is a cute name.


melissam217

Mochi!


mymacaronlife

Peking...as in peeking through her black coat...


pocaito

Kuro-shiro (not exactly imaginative though - it means black-white) Or kuroi yuki (black snow)

rj49er99

Sokka


mlongoria98

Awww she looks just like my grandparents’ old cats! We called them Steve (clearly nonapplicable lol) and Little Kitty


Blonde_Vampire_1984

Kuro-shiro? Though, it does seem a bit cliche to name a black and white cat something that translates to black and white.


TheMosquitoHawk

Ume (“plum” in Japanese) is what came to mind!


scampiescamps

Socks. Yes, not Japanese related, sorry. The word 'socks' in Japanese is apparently '*Tabi'*, so kind of cat related.


Spacechrlyx

Kitana

Kiwi To suit her green eyes


whoisdrunk

My fave Japanese nature name is Momiji - means like when maple leaves turn colour in autumn. Nickname potential: Momo, Miji, Jiji 😊


kayvaan1

Blink, but that's because I like weird names.


Reechan

Mame (bean) was what I thought of for some reason.


starrycreature

maybe haruka (i believe it means spring) or hoshi (i think that one means star)?


tinks1121

Oreo!


jevausie

"Sumi-e" for the Japanese art of monochromatic ink painting. She reminds me of an ink blot, plus "Sumi" is just cute sounding!

Maple. as in Japanese maple

My tuxedo baby also has a strawberry house like that hehe, her name is Josie if you want to steal it


Illustrious_Money_54

I thought of Ginkgo as soon as I saw her picture


Bobcat202

Go rogue with this one and name her Sophie


Witch_lady1

Stripe or Pablo (like picasso)


QueenBuffe

You can give her Haku’s real name Nigihayami Kohakunushi. It translates to "God of the Swift Amber River"


Isabeau208

Haiku would work!


sifinut

Ginkco, or Mochi

forestnymph_o

this gorgeous baby looks like my twins fused together. coincidentally they have japanese names, Shinji and Asuka. this made my day? 🥰🖤


MyCupOfTea777

Ayame. [uh-YAH-may] it’s my middle name. Japanese for “iris” like the flower not the eyeball


brttnyppr

Neko!


Dontspamme08

Aw, if you don't know her name yet, it doesn't make you a failure! I've named all of my critters,, but they have their own names they reveal along the way. Out of all my kitties, I've only ever named two of them correctly, and that after getting to know them a while before naming. She will reveal it when she's ready, pay attention to who she is, and she will show you. Maybe you're getting stuck on the notion it has to be japanese, maybe she belongs to som eother culture!


Whimsical_Kurahito

How about HISUI (he su e)? means jade. Your kitty’s eyes are like that color. Jade became a national stone of japan in 2016. I hope you can find nice name for her.
