Hi guys! :) My family and I have two Russian blue cats at home now. Misha - who is almost three years old, and, since two days, a little 3-month-old kitten. Even before we got him we intended to call him Sasha, and this is how we call him now, however now some of us wonder whether it's really a good match with Misha. Maybe it's just that we're not used to it yet so it sounds strange, but we're looking for some alternatives to see if we can come up with a better name. We don't have any interesting ideas so far though, hence I'm asking you guys for help.
Please let me know what do you think about the Misha and Sasha set.
As for the new name, we would like it to be Russian, but if you have any ideas that match Misha and aren't Russian please share too. I guess it would be the best and the easiest to call him if it was two syllables long. Their breeder suggested that cats react the best to names that have the -ee sound in them, just like Misha, don't know if it's true, but I also like cute names with the -ee sound in them for pets so that would be nice if our little baby could have the name with the ee sound too. My Dad suggested Grisha, but it's way too similar to Misha, while my lil sis likes Ozzie a lot, which is a great name, but I and the others don't think it matches Misha well, we also considered Dima and Mitya and Nikita and Pyetya, they don't fit him at all and no one of us really likes any of those. Also, we're a Polish family, living in Poland and speaking Polish, so the name has to be easy to say for everyone of us. I know these are quite strict criteria so if you have just any alternative ideas to Sasha, they'd be all very welcome, even if he finally stays with the current name.
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions. :)
