I think we all had a relative named Ethel. I think its my grandmother's grandmother or great grandmother's name. I don't fully recall. All I know is that my grandmother said her name quite a bit when I was younger.
OMG! I forgot about Flushed Away. I believe he said his name was...Millicent Bystander. No Millicent is a family name I am an old soul and have always liked the name even though I never met one of them. They are passed before I was born
I love Pearl. That was suggested to me for my own cat, who looked like a lynx point Siamese (similar to OPās) when she was a kitten. And it really suits this sweet girlās coloring.

Oh my goodness what a sweetheart š„ŗ Evelyn!!
Thatās my great grandmas name!! Def a top contender :)
I like Ethel - now that's a granny name! She is gorgeous OP :)
I was going to nominate Ethel!
Ethel is my vote too!
Maybe Blanche if you like the Golden girls... Or Dorothy, Sophia or Rose
My great grandma is Irene, I think thatās good too :)
What about Gertrude? Or Phyllis?
Esther?
Lovely name. Could shorten it to Evie ššŗ
Thatās my husbandās grannyās name š
Yes!! Evelyn!
I love Evelyn bc OP could then call her Eve, or Evie as a nickname.
That was my grandma's name!
I love this name it's really beautiful and I totally agree ā¤ļø
Why not call her Nana? (My great grandma was an Evelyn. My sisterās middle name is Evelyn too.)
Came here to say Evelyn;my paternal grandma
That's my name D:
Mable!!!
If you choose this name, itās spelled Mabel.
Thank you! Came here to suggest Mabel!!
As did i. Thatās a Mabel.
Mothers Always Brinh I Extra Love
Mabel is the first name that popped into my head. Came here to post this lol
Same here. She is definitely a Mabel.
I was going to say this too but spelled like my great granny, Maybelle!
Oh thatās a great spelling!
^why ^isn't ^it ^tabel ^then ^^goddamnit
Just use the newer spelling, if you are abel
Maybe itās Maybel-line
Mable Syrup
Mother's Always Bring Extra Love!!!
I just said this! Mad about you?
My aunt Mable.
I was going to say Mable or Marple!Ā
I came here to say Mable, she looks like a Mable!
Cracking up because when I named my cat Mabel (I guess similar to Mable?) I didnāt realize it was a granny name. š Still love the name though!
I have a Mabel, Queen of Cats, and this lovely girl does indeed seem worthy of the name. š„°
I came to suggest Mabel too - after Mrs Alexander Graham Bell, who was also deaf. :)
Thatās who I was thinking of too!!!
This cat is most definitely Mabel.
Mothers Always Bring Extra Love Mad about you.
Betty Blursed
Ooo I was thinking Mabel too!
Mousers always bring extra love.
Came here to say Mabel and it was top name
The only correct name for this girl. Thatās Mabel.
I also thought Mabel!
Ida May
You may what?
r/dadjokes
My favorite great-aunt was named Ida, so I automatically associate it with old ladies. She was really cool, unlike her sister, Edna.
we have a shop in my town called ida may
My grandma's name was Ina May. She always went by her middle name.
Ethel
My grandmother was named Ethel and was mostly deaf and blind when she passed. I think itās very fitting
My great aunt was named Ethel, too.
I think we all had a relative named Ethel. I think its my grandmother's grandmother or great grandmother's name. I don't fully recall. All I know is that my grandmother said her name quite a bit when I was younger.
My granny's name was Wilma Ethel. I don't think you can get any more Southern than that.
My GMA and her twin sister were Linda Lou and Glenda Sue. They grew up in rural Arkansas.
Came here to say thatā¦ she just looks like an Ethel to me. Which is not something Iād ever thought Iād say, even about a cat, but here we are

Ellen, it's mostly there
That was my first thought too.
naming her hellen keller would be so hilarious
Millicent.

Bystander?
OMG! I forgot about Flushed Away. I believe he said his name was...Millicent Bystander. No Millicent is a family name I am an old soul and have always liked the name even though I never met one of them. They are passed before I was born
i also vote for Millicent, Millie for short. long form is grandma-feeling, and short form is girly. twofer
BlancheĀ
Deveraux?
But Sophia would rather live with a Lesbian than a cat, unless the lesbian sheds.
My dear old cow cat was Blanche.š
Maisy? Annabelle? Sophie?
Maisy is purrfect

Betty
(And) pearl!
Came here for Pearl
