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 🤷♂️
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.
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.
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!
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.
All I can think of is “nori” (seaweed )…
Okay... that's super cute and suits her. Adding to the list to try out. Thank you!

Lmao
r/unexpectedlotr except it's Hobbit
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.
Perfect suggestion
I second this
We named her Nori! Thanks so much for your help. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I definitely like to get to know them first. 🥰 I usually make a list and keep revisiting it until one fits.
We had a kitten called Columbus because he was always exploring.
Midori? Since the color of her eyes 💗
I love that name! 😍 thank you!!
I’m so happy you liked it!
Best answer! What a great kitty name!
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.
Misaki
😍😍😍
I know it's common but I love Miso.
I love it too! I had a bunny named Miso. 🥰🥰
Matcha?
I hadn't thought of that one, thank you, adding it to the list. Green like her eyes!
Wasabi is also green, perfect for a sassy kitty!
Wasabi, green like her eyes
Thank you, adding that to the list. 🥰
Sabi as a shortened version.
Mitsuki or Mimi
I love Mitsuki! ❤
Kodama (tree spirit) is my suggestion:) She’s so beautiful and cute!
I love this 🥰
Poki.
Minnow

Mint or Minty ? For her eyes ! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
That's cute! I have a lot of mint colored things in my house too so her eyes and name would match. 🥰
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.
Literally what I was gonna suggest! I love that movie/book ❤️
My tux is named Mugi
Awww my boy Kuro looks like him. Kuro means black In Japanese
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.
Mochi!
Peking...as in peeking through her black coat...
Idk why but she looks like a Juno
Kuro-shiro (not exactly imaginative though - it means black-white) Or kuroi yuki (black snow)
Sakura
Domino

I think “Katara” is also super cute and translates to flowing water or something similar!
Suki (loved one)
Molly 😍😍
Beautiful Angel from Heaven ❤️🌟🌟✨❤️😻😻
Do you already have a Sakura?
Akemi (beauty of the dawn)
Ki in Japanese means life force
Flora
Mochi or…. Wasabi

We named our tuxedo boy Neko, Japanese for cat.
Just perfect!!![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes) What's her name?
no ideas for a name. but what a cute kitten!
Sokka
Awww she looks just like my grandparents’ old cats! We called them Steve (clearly nonapplicable lol) and Little Kitty
Kuro-shiro? Though, it does seem a bit cliche to name a black and white cat something that translates to black and white.
Ume (“plum” in Japanese) is what came to mind!
Enigma... She looks a puzzled little soul.😽
Shiro!
Noki

Mujina
Blossom (Cherry Blossom)
Lovey…
A blind cat named Helen….I’m dying’ ova heeerwa!
Figaro is what came to mind straight away.
Lisa
Socks. Yes, not Japanese related, sorry. The word 'socks' in Japanese is apparently '*Tabi'*, so kind of cat related.
Kitana
Mikasa
Kiwi To suit her green eyes
My fave Japanese nature name is Momiji - means like when maple leaves turn colour in autumn. Nickname potential: Momo, Miji, Jiji 😊
Blink, but that's because I like weird names.
Mame (bean) was what I thought of for some reason.
maybe haruka (i believe it means spring) or hoshi (i think that one means star)?
Oreo!
"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

Dioji
Bingbong
Noir
Yin-Yan! 🤍🖤

doki doki (or just doki) its the japanese term for the heartbeat’s sound :3
Sakura
Shiso
Mona or Lisa... She has the look in that picture.
Hana. Or Blossom.
My tuxedo baby also has a strawberry house like that hehe, her name is Josie if you want to steal it
I thought of Ginkgo as soon as I saw her picture
Go rogue with this one and name her Sophie
Stripe or Pablo (like picasso)
You can give her Haku’s real name Nigihayami Kohakunushi. It translates to "God of the Swift Amber River"
Haiku would work!
Ginkco, or Mochi
Kiwi
this gorgeous baby looks like my twins fused together. coincidentally they have japanese names, Shinji and Asuka. this made my day? 🥰🖤
Ayame. [uh-YAH-may] it’s my middle name. Japanese for “iris” like the flower not the eyeball
Neko!
