4. Here you go....I thought a few Irish names might be nice

Edited to add Sirca...just a made up name that hit me as I looked at Irish names

sheenagh - pronounced she-na. MEANING: An Irish form of Jane “God is gracious" and may be a shortened form of Sinead.

Sibeal
Meaning of the Irish name Sibeal. Listen and learn how to pronounce Sibeal so you can get the correct pronunciation for this Irish girl name.

MEANING: Form of Isabel which is a Spanish form of the Hebrew nameElisheba, meaning “God is my oath." Forms of Elizabeth have always been popular throughout the Celtic world.
GENDER: Girl | Female
IRISH NAME: Sibeal
PRONUNCIATION: shib + ale"

Sorcha

MEANING: From sorcha meaning “bright, radiant, light." Popular in the Middle Ages, the name has become popular again in recent years partly due to the success of the Irish actress Sorcha Cusack in Britain. Incidentally, her actor sisters are named Sinead and Niamh.
GENDER: Girl | Female
IRISH NAME: Sorcha
PRONUNCIATION: sor + aka" or “surk + ha"

Of course, you have probably heard that if you wait long enough, she will tell you her name. I know it sounds silly, but I had a cat once who I did not name until I found a bunch of beer tabs in my bed one night (she liked to fetch them if I threw them she would bring them to me). So I named her Stash.

12. Sia.....like the singer

pronounced See-a

I'm afraid I'm not usually very creative when it comes to names of pets. I started calling my tortie "Speckles" when she showed up. She promptly had three kittens on my back porch. I had no intention of keeping them, so I just referred to them by what they looked like. Calico got shorted to "Callie" (but she's really a dilute tortie) and then there's DarkGray and LightGray. Because they couldn't be tamed, I ended up keeping them, and their names are still their description.

from Grey's Anatomy is actually short for Calliope. Love that name! I have a dilute tortie too. She was my brother's and lived on a sailboat until he died. She came with her name, Kyra. I rescued her when my brother got sick, but she favors my husband. Go figure.

101. My Callie favors nobody

I'm so sorry about your brother. Was it difficult for Kyra to adjust to dry land?

My Callie is pretty feral. Her mom, Speckles, hid the kittens when they were a week old, and didn't bring them back around until they were two months old. I had to trap them to get them spayed/neutered. I kept them in my office for a whole month, and went in and hung out and played with them for hours every day, but they have never warmed up to the point where they can be petted. I still enjoy their company. Speckles is very tame and sweet.

They've all been having somewhat of an attitude for the last few days because I've had to lock their main entrance into the house at night in order to keep out raccoons. I went to great trouble and a bit of expense to create what I hope is a raccoon-proof entrance through my garage window. I know that three of the four cats have figured it out. I'm just not sure about DarkGray. but it's summer so if she has to stay outside all night, she'll be okay.

The first night I started locking their main entrance, I waited until they were all in the house. I think they're afraid they're going to be trapped in the house because they are nowhere to be seen when I lock up. When I wake up in the morning, Speckles is always in.

I sure hope those raccoons stop hanging around here. I pull in every bit of cat food before dark, so hopefully they'll find a better place to go soon. I was pretty freaked out when I discovered that one had come in during the night. I'm not a fan of raccoons. For two years none came in the cat doors, and then one of them finally figured it out.

102. Thanks.

Kyra only missed her dad. She had lived on dry land before he bought his sailboat. She is very adaptable. She traveled on the plane with me after spending 2 weeks at a vet for boarding while he was in the hospital. She never said a word and required no sedation. But then she wouldn't eat once I got her home. Then she got very sick. Turns out that she had a bad allergy, probably from hiding under the boat's refrigerator (mold!) after he collapsed and before I got to her. Her breathing was pretty rough. Once that was taken care of, she was fine. That was 11 years ago and she's still going strong. We think she's about 17 years old. Definitely not older than 18. She is definitely a daddy' girl. She sleeps under my husband's arm and wakes up smelling like his deodorant.

That is some stressful stuff you have with the cats and raccoons. I'm glad you're bringing in the cat food. Raccoons love that stuff. I hope DarkGray comes in at night eventually. And I'm glad you're providing a safe place for them.

Poor Kyra for having to go through so much, but she was so lucky to have you!

I'm sure DarkGray will have it figured out soon. The four of them are together a lot, so surely she's seen the rest go in. During the winter they spend most of their time inside. One good thing is that I hardly ever have to clean a litter box because they prefer to go outside, no matter what time of year.

28. BTW, I have a little Siamese mix who looks just like a purebred lynx point Siamese.

I planned to name her Palomita--which is Spanish for little dove, but is also the Spanish word for popcorn, which I thought appropriate, since she was a feisty, energetic girl.

But she "told me" her name was Lucia (Loo-CHEE-a). I call her Lucy for short--and sometimes Chia Pet.

Since she is a Siamese, a name that means "light" seems appropriate for her.

I've only met this little one once, so it might take a bit for her to tell me her name. And sometimes they need to grow into it. I agree about "light" but also "joyful."

Eve

It's not an "S" name, but it might suit her.

From the Hebrew name חַוָּה (Chawwah), which was derived from the Hebrew word חָוָה (chawah) meaning "to breathe" or the related word חָיָה (chayah) meaning "to live".

https://www.behindthename.com/names/gender/feminine/11

I guess you could call her Evie, if you want a cuter version

37. A few S name possibilities

Sana: (sa-NAH) meaning brilliant, praise

Sagwa: (say-waa) Korean origin, meaning apple "Sagwa, The Chinese Siamese Cat" is a 1994 children's book by Amy Tan

Sanwa: (san-waa) meaning peace, shy

Soraya/Soriah (so-ri-ah) Hebrew origin meaning princess. There are more alternative spelling for this name.

Sheba: (SHEE-buh) Hebrew, short version of Bathsheba, meaning daughter of an oath

Saffron (saff-rahn) flower, orangish color

Sweet Paws, Sweet Pea, Sweet Baby, Sweet Girl, Sweet Siamese, Sweet Sue... I could put Sweet in front of any word and it would make her potential name sounds sweet

Good luck, AirmensMom

141. Stevie

She looks mystical ala Stevie Nicks.

Whatever you decide, thanks for adopting her, and she’s a beauty!

168. Her dad would like that.

Although he hasn't been called that name since he was a little boy.

We couldn't help but adopting her. She chose us. You know how it is.

Let me know if you pick one of mine.

. I hear cats like names that end with a long e or y sound, so Shashi or Syrie could work.

Just thought of a few more: Shakira, Celeste, Serena, Cecilia.

169. Awwww, I love them all.

She chose Sissi. I very nearly named her Siri ... because she definitely is a Speech Interpretation and Recognition Interface. Alas, saying, "Hey, Siri" would make our phones talk to us.

Thanks. She chose Sissi as her name. I have no idea why when there were so many fancier ones to choose from

But it fits her.

144. Since it was serendipity that brought you together, that's my suggestion

for her name. "Serendipity", and call her Serrie for a nickname.

noun
the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.
"a fortunate stroke of serendipity"

The definition of serendipitous refers to something good or fortunate that happens as a result of luck or chance.

She's adorable!

(Sidenote: Our male lilac-point was named Tanqueray, and we called him Tang. Got his name off the side of a bus displaying a Tanqueray Gin ad.)

171. That was a though very early on.

My daughter and I said it almost exactly at the same time. But Serrie is too much like Sierra and Serendipity is really too long for her. Otherwise, it would have been on the very short list.

LOL ... love the Tanqueray story.

145. Sibyl, for the multiple (9) lives of a cat

Comes with a ready made nickname, Sibby.

She's a real beauty. With her Siamese ancestry, she will likely be very loyal and her smarts will keep you on your toes. Might find that she has a sense of humor, too, and likes to play pranks on you.

150. Get to know her

and her name will come to you in a few days. My husband named the last 3 cats-Flash, Bunny and Hiss. Bunny is a Manx, and Hiss was Sis at the shelter. Her full name with us is Swing and a Hiss.

On looking at the pictures, what do you think of Sweetie?

Well, she's not a Sweetie to her sisters right now. More like Monster. But that was her sister Sierra's nickname just a few years ago and she grew out of it. She/We chose Sissi.

But she'll get darker as she gets older. And she'll probably sleep around the house all day except for dinnertime, just like the others who were full of life and bouncing off the walls just a few short years ago.
