Naming the last kitten

Naming an animal is a lot harder than you think. Names come with characteristics, and weeks with someone  is pressure to name them ! So there was a story within each name I gave. 

Hazel, because when she first came home with me, she was unsure about her surroundings, she hid beneath her mom whenever she could. Within time and nurture, she became friendly and wanted me to hold her any chance I had. She's also super cute. That could be the main reason. 

Scarlett, she is gentle when she wants to be, but wants to be just as tough as her brothers. Sometimes she corners Elijah and wants to play. Before she would get baths she wanted to play in my jewelry box, or my hair accessories. She's a girly girl that breaks rules. 

Vasco, the baby of the group loves to find places to explore, or get stuck in, both are great examples. He likes to pick fights with the other kittens and run behind Luna when anything serious gets started. 
If your wondering the origin, Vasco is short for Vasco de Gama named after a famous portuguese explorer. 

Amerigo, Vasco's more hyper twin also loves to look around and find new places to explore. He doesn't get whiny, actually I haven't heard him talk much at all. He likes to keep to himself and to me. 
If you do cuddle him he loves to Purr! Amerigo also has a hidden meaning to, named after Amerigo Vespucci. 

Elijah, the dominant out of the bunch is hyper. He would be great with children, and loves to play. I think he's almost grown out of his infamous sour pout. Elijah's also the first to outgrow his baby faze with Luna. He cuddles up at night time. 

Izabel is the attention seeker! Loves the spotlight and is not afraid to meet new people. She's not as rowdy as the others and loves a good tummy rub and nap over playing with Elijah or dealing with Vasco. 

Tobias is timid and enjoys being with family. He does great around other cats, but doesn't understand why they are much larger than he is. Just assumes they are giants. Once he gets used to you, he will follow you around, I promise. 

Luna of course from the black cat in Sailor Moon.  She is the mom out of the group and enjoys affection just as much as the kittens. If she could be the center of it all she would. Very open to cuddles and treats. I could pick her up and carry her around and she loves it.  Definitely give Luna a chance to be your new fur baby.
