I am looking for suggestions on a name for my girl Bengal. I was thinking of something relating to space. Or something unique and exotic sounding. I have a picture listed below, though its not to good of one. All that I have at this point.

Examples:

Ataria
Kosti
Argenta

But I am really looking for something a little more beautiful sounding. The boys name is M'aiq prounounced (Mai eek)

I really love the name Zakia!!! It Greek in orgin and means pure. If I were to get another female that's what her name would be! I also like Zae!

When I chose my girls name I picked something regal and beautiful (her eyes were like ancient Egypt makeup lines, girls know what I mean ?)
Cleopatra,
but I also chose a long name that I could shorten into a distinct two-tone sound.
like, Ahe-ee, or oh-ee.
So my girl knows her name as Cleo (ee-oh tone) very clearly.
(shes only Cleopatra [my last name] on paper and vet records ect.) :p
Pick a pretty name that you like and that she can hear/pickout well so she learns it easily.

Very sound advice. I will definitely keep that in mind when I choose. :)

I've been told cats hear sibilant names better - my cat's full name is Sonargaon Isabella, I call her Ella, but I was told I should call her Izzy as she would be able to hear it better.

So Zs and Ss are good! I quite like Zafira although it's not that sibilant

Congratulations on your new bundle of joy. Sometimes you just need to observe their personality and a name will come to you. I retained the name the previous owner had given my Bengal-- He knows his name and comes running to me when I call it. I know you'll find something that will suit her to a T.

I usually pick a few names I like and then see what they respond to in the first few days I have them. :)
