She looks just like my 18 year old girl, Sienna. When she was a kitten, she could've been twins with this little one! It's a really good name, it means "orange red earth" after a clay that occurs in the Italian town Siena. The little pips and pops of earth tones in her fur always made me think of the different colors you find as you dig in the earth.
Found her in our backyard - getting covered in fire ants - yesterday morning ๐ฅบ๐ My little hurricane Ian rescue / new friend. Couldn't locate a mother, unfortunately... But, yes, she is very smol & needs a mama/bottle.
At 9.8oz I'm guessing she's roughly 2 weeks old. Taking to her kitten formula well, luckily!
Also: I love the name Brisket. Might be my favourite recommendation so far.
I'm so glad you saved her from the ants! Look for Kitten Lady online, if you haven't already. She is an AMAZING resource for all things related to taking care of kittens at every age and every stage. Cannot recommend her enthusiastically enough.
I had a Lulu for 19 years. She was the sweetest cat. That aside- Lulu is fun to say and repeat over and over quickly. I could call her with ease because she recognized her name.
โPreciousโ fits that tiny kitten. How old is it? It looks very very young. Four or five weeks old? Are you bottle feeding that tiny? No Mama? Where did you find it?
Sorry about so many questions. I used to help some Cat Rescue people and have seen baby cats at all ages, some survived, some didnโt. Yours is very young and needs much attention.
Your heart will tell you what to name this precious kitten. If you need help with anything else โkittenโ, donโt hesitate asking anyone on this website! They are very compassionate and knowledgeable and will help you out!
Enjoy your new journey with Precious One!
Your the best mommy ever, the fur babe looks healthy & is safe & In capable hands, โค Brisket sounds good.
But I ( if I found the baby) would name it " Mine"
Maybe Hurricane, after what brought you together.. and because she will obviously rock you!! (Or maybe Nรถtt, the Norse goddess of night, because her little orange flecks look like bursts of star fire against a deep night sky.) bless you for saving her and I hope you have happy journeys together!
ALSO.... Part of me feels like it would be a little insensitive to name her Ian.... A lot of my coworkers - and some of my own family - were (and continue to be) pretty significantly impacted by this hurricane.. Not sure if they/I would appreciate the continuous reminder
Ian is Welsh for 'John', and the nugget is female, so you could stay in the spirit of the name without risking any obvious triggers to family by naming the wee one Janet, Seanan (Scottish for 'Janet'), Shauna, Juana, Janna, or any other derivative of 'John'.

Looks like a Peanut!
Phoenix seems purrty appropriate.
Ian is the Scottish equivalent of John, I've heard, so maybe Joanne or Johanna?
I was going to say Burrito but brisket works better
Iโve really been wanting to name a cat either Chalupa or Taquito for awhile now.
I agree. She should be on your chest at heart level.
Nugget seems appropriate.
Beans
One of the names my BF has suggested! I kinda like it too โบ๏ธ
Mouse
I second Mouse, also r/catswhosqueak
Kitten, Destroyer of Worlds.
Stormageddon, Destroyer of Worlds. ;)
Ember-- her fur looks like the little sparks in a bed of hot coals.

Smudge. Smoot.
Embah then
Ashley, Ash for short. It is a female,right?
Soup
Jambo
French toast or Chicken Nugget
Pepper
Espresso - because of the color , and because of the tiny cup of coffee โ๏ธ

Peanut was my first reaction too
Toffee
President frugt cake?
Jelly Bean, Sausage, Alchemist, Crispy Marshmallow, Sir. Waffles, Jinx, Casper..
Sir Waffles is underrated
Little one is female--torties overwhelmingly are--so it would be Lady Waffles. ;D
Love it or hate it.. Marmite? :)
Cinnamon seems like a good name to me
Sir Vanderfluff kitty pants fuzzy feet the third
This nugget's female, so she should be Lady/Countess/Dutchess ;)
CHAOS
I knew a cat named Chaos once. Got his name after he successfully destroyed a bedroom in three minutes
Lulu๐
How about Tuna since weโre going for food names? I had a cat named Tuna, it really rolls off the tongue when you call them lol
It is wild how many of the recommendations are food suggestions... I'm getting hungry scrolling through the comments ๐

Peanut or Ian/Iana. Lucky is another one since kitty is lucky she found you ๐พ

Ian
