There’s a whole list here.
I had a friend named Micheline (misch-a-leen) She went by Mich (Mitch).
I like Minuit (midnight). Pronounced – min-whee.
Mioux
Mimi
Loulette
Amelie
Simone
I’m not sure it’s french, but I like Madeline. Maddy for short.
You have lot’s of options.
Celui = This
Chat = cat
Noir = black
Blanc = white
Celuichat
Chardonnay
BlancNoir
or just something random like Tres Chat!
Precious cat.
Bébé doux
Sweet baby.
Or frou Frou moliere (Sp) .... *That’s nasty, it’s slang.
Plume for that fluffy tail!
Mélange has a mellifluous, soft sound to it. Means “mixture” or “combination”, which captures the black-and-whiteness, but the ”-ange” part evokes a nice double-entendre, meaning “angel”.
@thorninmud Melange to me has to do with geology or fabric.
My old kitty that passed away a couple of years ago was named “Gadwicke”, silent “e” on “wick.” I picked his name from an Atlas, Gadwicke is a town in england.
We gave him the “title” of ” Gadwicke, son of Smethwicke of Mt. Aukum” where I lived. lol
I miss my Gad man! :-D
Fifi (fee-fee), of course.
Chouchoute (shoo-shoot): it’s a French term of endearment for something that is one’s favorite (and a bit of a pun: “ma chouchoute” can be translated as “my pet”).
Petit chou (which means little cabbage).
Sinueux (which means sinuous)
OK, this one’s a bit arcane, but cats positively adore arcanity:
Gwenn-ha-Du
It’s the nickname for the flag of Bretagne, the westernmost French province. It means “white and black” in the local dialect.
It was also the name of a local terrorist group, which is fitting for any cat
My Blk /wht – tuxedo cat is called Jasmine , (French origin-It is of Old French) JAZ-min, jaz-MEEN.
Noisette [nwah-ZEHT]
Means “little nut” or “tender morsel”.
My former cat was named Mewsette. She was an all white Norwegian Forest Cat we found at the pound and quite the little queen. I think it’s a fancy, but sweet name.
Bonus, this movie totally rules.
Double bonus, your pet will have a theme song – hell, and entire soundtrack – for those embarrassing moments when we all sing and dance around with our fluffy friends.
I also thought about naming my black and white female kitten after Robespierre in the film. And the villain has a cute name as well, Meowrice. Gender & sex discrepancies be damned!
Aww. @asmonet took my answer. Love that movie. Jean Tom? Jean Tom where are you?
Renard means fox in French. I can’t remember if it had an ‘e’ on the end or not. It was my name in French class.
Just make sure you don’t use the French name for skunk!
MAKE A DECISION. :D
I wanna know!
