Ladybird's Blended Family... Vote on Names!

For those of you following the story of Ladybird and her little blended family, here's an update!

As of today, both kittens are bigger and stronger. When Alison first met them yesterday, they were both small and fragile, and the smaller one was so weak that she could barely meow. Today, both kitties are feeling vigorous enough to jump up when Alison enters the room and mew for attention.

Alison has been offering raw goat's milk to supplement the kitten's feeding, because kittens are smaller than puppies and she wasn't sure they would be strong enough to nurse efficiently from Ladybird, but they have very little interest in the goat's milk today so it seems that they are nursing well. Ladybird has fully accepted them as her own babies. She doesn't like Alison to take them away for supplemental feedings, and tries to pull them out of Alison's hands whenever she picks them up, then licks them all over when she puts them down again!

Both kittens seem to be either calicos or tortoiseshells, which makes them most likely to be girls! With that worked out, who wants to vote on names?
