I know you're all dying to know what it is. I thought first I would share with you Nanette's kitten-naming thought process. Here's a bit from her email.
1.) Her surname, if I am not mistaken, is French, probably by way of Canada.
2.) A pic with one of her sisters leads me to believe she possesses a bit of Gallic cattitude.
3.) She has a classically lovely coat; luxuriant, yet subtle in its color complexity. She is the Chanel of kittehs.
4.) She cries out for an elegantly hyphenated Francophile name.
Therefore, I propose that we call La Petite Mademoiselle..........
MARIE-NOIRE SUPRENANT
And so she is....
Nice work, Nanette. I appreciate all the thought you put into assigning this floofy gal the PERFECT name. It suits her so well!
By the way, Nanette is a repeat customer! She was the one responsible for naming Luigi Fortunato in last year's fundraiser. And Eleanor, who named Betty June, was also responsible for naming Dominick Fortunato last year! Thanks to you both for your generosity!!
Tune in tomorrow when we reveal the lovely little lynx-point's name....
Parfait!

ReplyDeletethese names are so creative so far, i can't wait to hear about all of the other ones!
ReplyDeletep.s. is there even a body under all of that floof?
Que c'est beau! Our namers rock!
ReplyDeleteFull disclosure: Que c'est beau means how beautiful. I had to use dictionary dot com's translator. :)
"She is the Chanel of kittehs."
ReplyDeleteOh wow...I was just thinking last night that if I could have, I would name this black kitty Chanel. Marie-Noire is perfect too.
What a lovely name for a beautiful kitten!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty name!

Nice to know you by name, little one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous name, Nanette!

ReplyDeleteThe most adorable name for a most adorable kitten! <3
ReplyDeleteNow that is a name to be PROUD of!
ReplyDeleteBienvenue, Mlle. Marie-Noire! Tu as le nom parfait!
ReplyDeleteI really really wish I could rub my face in Miss Marie-Noire's belly hair, via the internet. Whoever invents that technology will make a fortune!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful name for an elegant baby girl!
ReplyDeleteVery classy, Marie-Noire. Me likey.
ReplyDeleteC'est magnifique! Mlle. Marie-Noire is a cute little ball of fluff. ^__^
ReplyDeleteParfait absolument!!! I love all these french names for our Suprenant dammes. And i absolutely LOVE the "chanel of kitties." Maybe her nickname could be Coco?
ReplyDeletePatricia: I believe when it's a name it's spelled with an 'e.' Noire. (The 'e' is added in other uses, as well.) If you're just talking about the plain old color, then it's 'noir,' as you know.
ReplyDeleteI came back to look at this post again, and wanted to say that I love this name! She is very classy and does deserve a classy name!
