Name a kitten!

Hey Everyone!
For those who don't know me, I'm Talie or Italia - but you can call me Talie. I work here at The Mix alongside the community team.
Exciting news, I'm picking up a wee kitten today!
I'd love the community to help name her
I know lots of you have pets and they have some great names, so I thought you'd be perfect to pick a name for this cutie, who doesn't love a bit of kitten content?
How it will work
1. We have until the end of Friday 3rd of May to suggest names in the thread below.
2. On Saturday I'll create a poll with some of our favs for you to vote on - and by Tuesday hopefully, we'll have a name.
3. If you like a name someone else has suggested, give it a like and we'll consider that when putting the final list together.
Guidelines
I read an article that said that animals recognise names that end in a vowel sound more easily, so the only guideline is that the name needs to end in a vowel sound (not necessarily a vowel letter, but a vowel sound)
e.g. the name Kate - ends in a vowel but sounds like a T - so that wouldn't be ideal.
About the kitten
This kitten is a female, black and white, long-haired, and I hope she'll be good at hunting mice. She seems playful and sweet, and based on her parents, I think she might grow to be quite big.
Here is the first picture and I'll put more photos in the thread over the next few days once I've picked her up and she's settled in.
Thank you so much
Have fun!

My suggestions are: Betty, Mouse(y) and Shepherd (like Derek, Sheppy would be a cute nickname) and Monstera (Monnie for short) 🪴
@Aife Here`s your new little niece. I didn`t think you`d be old enough to have a granddaughter hehe.

@Emma_ yayy so glad you came back for this! Betty is a cute name
First thought came into my head was Lucy for some reason i always thought socks was a cute name as well but some great ideas guys!
I love that we have similar cats @Dancer - how old is yours now, what's their name?

The poll is live
We'll keep the poll up until the end of the weekend and will reveal her name on Tuesday morning!
I hope you had fun, I've had fun - we've been calling her all these names to see if any stick, and we have a few favs, I can't wait to see what comes out in the poll.
Rumour is that @Emma_ is campaigning quite hard for Betty
