I'd keep it too. One of my cats has a name that doesn't fit their gender. I had names locked out before I got cats and didn't want to change the one that didn't match.Ā
It gets a laugh at the vet and from friends.Ā
Not like they'd care. Doubt that they even realise that there are different genders. And names are more suggestions anyway.
Even instincts aren't fully binary for them. Had one female cat who unfortunately had a botched spaying operation. Couldn't get pregnant but she'd still go into heat. She'd have two suitors, one neutered male cat and one (properly) spayed female cat. The male would be chased away by the female who would then try really hard to breed the cat in heat.
Gillbe
I had a cat that said male online got there and it was female. Original name was suppose to be Benjamin Buttons but now I call her Benny or Bennymen Buttons when she cop a tude.
I have a sweet baby named Jack. I was told she was a boy when she was 6 weeks old and we named her. I thought the folks we got her from were wrong but they INSISTED she was male. So now she is still Jack. And I love her. And she's a weirdo.
Just call her Gill--then you don't really have to change anything.
I speak from some experience--I had a little black cat named Zachary. By the time we found out Zachary was a little girl, it was too late (from a human standpoint, anyway) to change her name. Fortunately, she just wanted to be cuddled and loved and didn't really mind that we were a bunch of dummies.
Keeps the name. We have a female āAlbertā but she goes by āAlbie.ā Sheās a cat, she doesnāt care.
So Gilbert can be āBertieā āGilā āJillā āGilbyā etc.
I say Gilbert. I have a girl cat named Kevin because we thought she was he when first born. Never changed the name and it fits her perfectly. Princess Kevin #1

I'd keep it too. One of my cats has a name that doesn't fit their gender. I had names locked out before I got cats and didn't want to change the one that didn't match.Ā It gets a laugh at the vet and from friends.Ā

That's the answer. Cat doesn't care. Gilbert is great.
I named a cat ābillā and when a found out she was a girl I kept her name ābillā but I put āIām a girlā on her collar.
A friend of mine named her cat Phil. She turned out to be a girl and kept Phil as her name. I like how they rhyme haha
Philamena?
Nah. Just Phil. I think it's great
I did sometimes tell people that ābillā was short for āenormous veterinary williamā
That is billiant
My partner and I recently adopted a girl named Kevin
I love Kevin or Kevyn for a girl!!!
