I'd be tempted to wait and observe their personalities for a few days.
Something is bound to come to you. (This is how my cat Twitch came by her name:)
A neighbor often names her cats after historical and/or fictional
characters. She has one cat named Boudicca (the "warrior Queen"...and boy,
does it fit!), and another named Marcus (after the Indiana Jones character
who can get lost in his own museum). She had a Siamese she named Joy because
they found her (abandoned and sick) a couple of days before Christmas. (She
thanked them with kittens:)
Another friend names her cats after Star Trek characters.
I named one of my dogs Mozza Burger because her first food with us was the
burger she stole from my son. So sometimes an action or personality trait
determines the name.
When naming a new cat (which is a common occurrance in our house...we have
seven at the moment), I find that if I don't *try* to think of a name, the
perfect one shows up when I'm not looking.
And the fun is in getting there. Enjoy your kitties!

I had a brother and sister Siamese-Tabby mix......
she was a delicate little princess, slow, certain, snobby.
I called her Pua the Hawaiian word for flower.
The boy was all boy....funny, rambunctious, curious and
loving, but not if you let him know you knew .....
His name was: Foo Q.

One of ours is named Boudicca, too!

Hence Atilla, our latest addition

That's nothing! I'll send you a couple!

(and Boudicca and Atilla and Taily-Po and Eureka and Maguera and Astro
and Ebony and Jamberry and Madeline and Molly and Mama and Bandit and,
let's see, Cleo and Tally and Tomato, and that pretty grey one with the
beautiful green eyes that started showing up for dinner several months
ago, and Spencer the Wonder Dog)

When I finally get cats of my own, I will wait a while to see what their
personalities are. I think R2D2 (the little droid from Star Wars would be
the perfect name for one of those talkative, chirpy cats who has a
'comment' for every occasion. My dad's cat Ivy is one of these. Cats
sometimes seem to grow personalities which fit their names though: Ivy was
named because we got her at Christmas along with her brother Holly who
later disappeared on us. The name really suits her though because like
the plant she CLINGS!! She loves to be picked up and cuddled on your
shoulder, but you must always be aware that once you've picked her up
you're lumbered until SHE decides it's time to get down!
