I second this, or even just call it Kitten. It's not the most creative but it's simple. It's like how I named my turtle, Turtle (yes, my turtle's name is Turtle).

I wouldn't think twice about it if I had a photographing device.
Also I really like walter croncat that's a good name. It is noted.
Oh also I have another, older cat (by 2 years) and she hates the kitten (so far, it's only been a night) anyone with multiple cats who's been through this have any suggestions on what's good/bad to do? I want them to be friends but the older one is just a peach overall so I don't know if that's possible. As we speak she's slowly creeping up behind the kitten. She keeps growling but when she reaches out to swat she just gently touches her which seems reassuring to me but maybe she's just testing to find out if the kitten is gonna eat her face suddenly. I'm keeping an eye on her at all times just to be safe.
But yeah, tips? Last time I had a second cat introduced into another cats' house I was like 8 so this is basically all new to me (I don't remember what happened (or think I cared) back then)

They'll get used to it, just beware of your older cat trying to bite ir scratch her.

Well, a few years ago, there was a smega asking what the person should name their cat, so I suggested "Coffee Crisp" and I guess that person liked it. Not sure if it works for your cat, though.

My mom works at a cat shelter so i've had to intro hundreds (litereally) of cats together and some of my mom/sister's cats are really bitchy towards other cats/kittens... Generally the best way to do it is to have the kitten in one room of the house (the one that has its litterbox) for the first one/two weeks so that the kitten learns where to go to find its litterbox. During this time if the older cat is interested in the kitten then allow the older cat into the room that the kitten is in (only when you are there to supervise the encounter and reassure both cats). If the older cat avoids the room then bring the kitten into the room the cat is in and while holding the kitten, give attention to the older cat. This will show your older cat that it doesn't need to fight for your affections and also desensitizes the older cat to the presence of your new kitten. After the two weeks that your kitten has been confined then allow the kitten out on excursions into the rest of the house and make note of where the older cat is. If things go well and theres no aggression between the two you should be fine. Otherwise theres a trick involving catnip toys/cat fishing pole type toys that works pretty well for faster intros/cats that tend to be pretty easy going.....
if you want the other way or just some expert cat advice just shoot me a pm

Don't worry about it! Just break them up if they get too rough or cruel to each other. We have two kitties right now, as well. The first one we had one year before we found the second. Our older kitty was REALLY not happy with the new little kitten at first. She always walked real slow by her and stared at her with HUGE eyes, like she was going to kill her. It was creepy. But eventually she got more comfortable around her. The little kitten really took to her nicely and always slept on her (they still do that). They fight sometimes, but they're really really close. It's adorable!
We got really lucky! But I wouldn't be worried. Give them time and they'll probably become best friends. Just don't force it or let them get too mean. Kitties are awesome like that.
I like really cutesy names for kitties! Like Muffin, Boots, Mittens and Fuzzbuns (hehehe)!
