My blonde/orange kitten named Chanel turned out to be a boy.... New name?

Question

I've had my kitten for 2 months and I was told it was a girl by the previous owner... I'm a moron for not knowing that the bump actually meant it was a boy cat! But now I don't know what to do. Should I rename him to a more manly name or keep him as "Chanel"? Any suggestions?

Answer 1

how about valentino?

Answer 2

How about Jardell or Dorrel?

Answer 3

I'd keep your cat the name you gave. So what if it's a male. There's a lot of young kids (like 4-5 yr old kids), that name there parents dogs and cats, some have boy names some have girls names, and are the opposite s*x of what they named them.

I wouldn't worry about changing the name.

Answer 4

Call him Charlie, cute and kinda cool! :P

Answer 5

Chanler

like from the show friends :D

Answer 6

We thought my cat was a girl and it turned out to be a boy, his name is Glenda The Good Cat, so now we just call him the same thing, its hard to change a name...especially when they answer to it.

Answer 7

Chanel is a surname, so it is not necessarily gender specific. But then again, they do make girly perfume, and it strikes me as a girly name. But if you're a girl, then your cat is allowed to have a girly name, even if he is a boy. Go for your life.

Answer 8

Louis (sp?) as in Louis Vuitton  :)

Answer 9

name him chuck!!!! thats always a good cat name.... or somthing clever that starts with a 'C' to remember Chanel.

Answer 10

How about Coco

It's Chanel's first name anyways

or maybe Gabriel or Gabe because her real name was Gabriella im pretty sure

Answer 11

Keep him as Chanel if you want.  He won't care and if anyone else does, so what?  It's not like he'll be emasculated - although hopefully you will do that for him later (neutering).

But if you prefer to change, he'll adjust.  I don't think you need to find a name like Chanel - go with Fred if that's what you like.

Although I shouldn't talk - I once named a stray kitten Lolita (long story) and when I realized "she" was packing a pair, I renamed him Lothario.

Answer 18

What about Chase?  

Answer 19

Well.. if I were you I'd rename the cat because my friends would make fun of him xD

Why don't you try.. Gucci? LOL I gave that nickname to my guy best friend since his middle name is Giuse xD

Answer 20

Well, there's two ways you could look at this. If you are more concerned about the name, then go right ahead and change it. But if I were you, I would think that name isn't a girly name, and that it might take a while to start responding to it again. If you have called it that already a few times, then it has pretty much started to learn it. But whatever floats your boat I guess.
