Suggestions for cat names [View all]

I'm going to meet a cat tonight. If all goes well, I'll take her home with me.

Here she is!

They are calling her Joyce, but I don't like the name. I'm trying to come up with another name that suits her. I've been thinking of Leia or Aria, but I would love suggestions. I'd like a pretty name rather than a traditional cat name.

Thanks in advance for your help!
