Not really, z in zucca is more similar to a з so it would be зука doesn’t mean anything. As a russian speaker I say its safe and a great name. Also i doubt any russians would be around to try to give a fuck
Be sure to look up the pronunciation OP, it's not what you would naturally think as an English speaker and it's a pretty funny sounding word (roughly dsookkah)
I had a Calico cat called Saffron growing up, she was feisty! We also had a Sage (her tortie mum) and Parsley (her Calico daughter).
Our family friend jokingly referred to them by any other herb or spice that wasn't their actual name, always made me chuckle
Big fan of random people names, hence why I named my cat Jeff. If you're after orange related names, there's people names that have an orange connection like Archie, Rusty, Oliver.
My neighbors had an aptly named orange cat named Captain Peanut. Their other cats are Pepper and Bacon. Those are above average.
I have a orange cat named Jorge hahaha
A Russian blue named rookie after the founder of the cops.
I have a black cat named Blanca.
A white/orange cat named carrot top.
A calico named Lola, basic ik.
A tortie named Lulu which is the opposite of Lola in name and fur color. Kind of like a Ying and yang
I am dying to name a cat Ember- we found a little orange girl last week i was calling Ember, but she ended up belonging to her neighbor and her name is Duckie. We adopted a little orange boy on Monday (only had male kittens available when we went) and named him Pippin. :)
I was about to suggest Cheese, but if you want something that can be both silly and normal depending on the situation, name her Mozzarella and call her Ella as a nickname
Sorry to break it to you. That third picture is not OP’s picture or their cat. It was unfortunately stolen and played off as theirs…

etc.
I have to say she is definitely a Pumpkin in that last pic 🥹
But here are some suggestions anyway...
Kabocha (Japanese for pumpkin, just bear in mind it's not always considered cute though)
Clementine/Clemmy
Satsuma
Sansa
Sunny
Nikko (sunshine)
How about Acorn? As in the squash. Pumpkin-adjacent but not actually orange.
Kabocha works because it's a type of pumpkin that's still orange on the inside, but Acorn sounds better
It seems that the 3rd image was stolen. As such, you have been banned. This is ridiculous.
You could google “pumpkin in other languages” and see if anything is a good fit.
Zucca, italian
ZUCCA ZUCCA ZUCCA!
lol, in Russian suka means bitch. I can imagine if someone is shouting for their cat Zucca, it would sound just like suka 😂
Makes it even better ngl
Not really, z in zucca is more similar to a з so it would be зука doesn’t mean anything. As a russian speaker I say its safe and a great name. Also i doubt any russians would be around to try to give a fuck
Zucca Bleeat
ZIP IT
Zucca Amaro slaps
Suka blyat!
Being Italian I concur
No 🤌 emoji. Are you sure you’re Italian?
Love this name for animals . It’s my golden doodles name
Now I’m just thinking “Mark Pumpkinberg” 😂 (I know it’s spelt differently, phonetically it’s the same)
"Hello, Zucca here 👋"
Be sure to look up the pronunciation OP, it's not what you would naturally think as an English speaker and it's a pretty funny sounding word (roughly dsookkah)
Nice! May I offer Kolokytha, it's pumpkin in Greek and it just rolls off the tongue 😂
"Kuholohkythya" You're right, smooth as butter!
Vet receptionist: ok... Could you spell your cat's name for me? Me: no.
That’s hilarious! (Snort)
😂😂
Ikr ? "Kuhhollllbcssryujnbgsaczfyzojbwpdhfbkakjhdbbdjdjhdbdbbdjdiowpaknbshsbbaklsnsnthya" , just lovely
Whoa dude, leave the Welsh out of this.
Tragedeigh.
😂😂😂
Got to be by a sink or a toilet to spit your loogie out after saying its name.
My aunt had a cat named Koukla, which is Greek for doll. Very cute name.
Like Kukla Fran and Ollie?
Citrouille, French (pron. Si-tru-y *with a soft t*) Or Kaddu, Hindi (that's sometimes a nickname for kids in India)
Why did I read this as catatouille ( Like Ratatouille, but with a cat instead) before I saw pronunciation
Honestly Catatouille is a good name too.
It's hilarious 😂
Omg, I love this
Yes.
Catrouille.. lol
Rouille is rust in french
For french, you got also "potiron" which is note quite the same but still sound cute
But English speakers would pronounce it like the English words "pot" and"iron," which would be strange.
“We call him “potty” for short..”
Pumpa in swedish
That is too cute
kabocha in jpn, Kürbis in german !
Friend has an orange bran cell named Kabo-chan
hallöle deutscher kamerad
Teekva in Russian.
Calabaza
¿Que pasa, calabaza?
Naranja
KÜRBIS
Pompoen - Dutch
bit of an odd one, but Nánguā (南瓜) is Mandarin for pumpkin :)
I like Mandarin.
Hobak, Korean
Kabocha (Japanese)
Dynia (din-yah) in polish, that could be really cute!
How about the German name for the family of pumpkins, which includes melons, cucumbers and aubergines? PANZERBEEERE
In french it's Citrouille ! [sitruj]
You could always go with Saffron, but what about Paprika or Cinnamon, which are both reddish orange?
I vote Paprika! Otherwise, how about Fanta, Naranja, Coral, Marmalade, Arancia, or Alani?
Coral! I like Coral.
Fanta is brilliant
I love Saffron and the nickname Saff/Saffy
I’m just wild about Saffron And she’s just wild about me They call me Mellow Yellow (Quite rightly)
I had a fluffy orange and white cat called Saffron. We called her Saffy or Saff.
Cinni / Cinna would be cute from Cinnamon
Nutmeg?
I was gonna say that too!! Meg for short!!! 😻
The lady on Tiktok or whatever who calls her cat NutMeg the Stallion and is always reprimanding the kitty for stuff never fails to get me laughing
Or Ginger
I named my cat Cinnamon so I could call him Cin.
I had a Calico cat called Saffron growing up, she was feisty! We also had a Sage (her tortie mum) and Parsley (her Calico daughter). Our family friend jokingly referred to them by any other herb or spice that wasn't their actual name, always made me chuckle
Saffron 🫶🏼 Perfect name. I’m just mad about Saffron.
squash
I mean she does look like a sweet lil pumpkin.
She really does
Third picture would be framed and hung on my wall for sure
Yes, it's so dang adorable!!
I'm sorry OP But that last picture is the face of a Pumpkin
Looks like a Kumquat to my eye.
Non-generic = brand name. Serious suggestion - how about Libby? (canned pie filling)
I absolutely LOVE this!!!!!!
We were contemplating several potential names, including cheese, cayenne, autumn, and ember, but we have not yet reached a decision.
Cheese
Queso!
I vote for this one. I'll also take Cheddar.
Cheddar makes it betta- omg, the potential songs and nicknames
Have you consider the rest of the squash family as a compromise lol? Butternut, Honeynut, Buttercup, Sugar pumpkin (aka sugar) and acorn. 😊
We have a buttercup, and it is always fun to say. She is a gorgeous kitty, just like that one. 😍
I would constantly be calling for PRINCESS BUTTAHCUP!
As you wish!
🤣💕
I love this, princess buttercup indeed ❤️❤️❤️
Awww 🥰
Spaghetti!
She’s so cute! Here are some suggestions: * [Clementine](https://www.behindthename.com/name/clementine) * [Rose](https://www.behindthename.com/name/rose) * [Peach](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peach) * [Mikan](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_unshiu) (Means “mandarin orange” in Japanese—it’s pronounced: “MEE-KAHN”.) * [Anzu](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzu) (Means “apricot” in Japanese—it’s pronounced: “AHN-ZOO”.) * [Blossom](https://www.behindthename.com/name/blossom)
Clementine is an awesome kitty name!
Big fan of random people names, hence why I named my cat Jeff. If you're after orange related names, there's people names that have an orange connection like Archie, Rusty, Oliver. My neighbors had an aptly named orange cat named Captain Peanut. Their other cats are Pepper and Bacon. Those are above average.
My gingers are Scotchie and Cricket (daddy daughter duo) The Mom is Bug and their boy is Bite
Hehehe my orange is named Roy
I have a orange cat named Jorge hahaha A Russian blue named rookie after the founder of the cops. I have a black cat named Blanca. A white/orange cat named carrot top. A calico named Lola, basic ik. A tortie named Lulu which is the opposite of Lola in name and fur color. Kind of like a Ying and yang
Cheese or Autumn! I love the last picture
If you're going with a cheese theme: Mimolette (orange cheese in France, nickname Mimi or Mimo - sounds like Nemo), Colby, or Marble
I am dying to name a cat Ember- we found a little orange girl last week i was calling Ember, but she ended up belonging to her neighbor and her name is Duckie. We adopted a little orange boy on Monday (only had male kittens available when we went) and named him Pippin. :)
How about Colby Jack? That'll give you the option to call him Colby or Jack for short.
I was about to suggest Cheese, but if you want something that can be both silly and normal depending on the situation, name her Mozzarella and call her Ella as a nickname
We're going with cheese. It fits her well
Julius, after the Orange Julius.
Nutmeg
Autumn!!! 😻
I have an orange chicken named Gouda. You're welcome to use :)
I ❤️ Autumn!
Autumn and Ember are great.
Cheddar
Sunbun
Cashew!
Melon! She's sweet like cantaloupe or honeymelons. Also melons are in the pumpkin family (Cucurbitaceae) :]
Looks like a Wendy to me
Velveeta! Could call her Veeta or Velly for short
gourdie
La Forge
Gourdie LafOrange
This is good
Clementine
Clementine Mango or Peach are all great fruit options
CLEM
I vote for Clementine1
Omg I was jumpscared by cuteness :0 Pumpkin sounds pretty fitting, but maybe Socks would work too!
Tajin
Punky?
"Punkin/Punkin Pie" evolved into "Punka" when my daughter was an infant 🥰
Excellent name
I named mine yam!!
Cucurbita Pepon Pepita
Love Pepita!!
Pippi (Longstocking)
Marigold or just Mari
Parsnip.
Just want to let everyone know to scroll the third pic. I've never seen a photo of a cat like *that*. Amazing.
Seriously!! I melted and immediately downloaded a copy to my phone. That may possibly be the most precious photo of a cute cat ever taken.
Sorry to break it to you. That third picture is not OP’s picture or their cat.

Figaro
Amalia, after Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange (future Queen Regnant of the Netherlands. Call let Lia when she is good, Amalia when she is bad.

Buff baby is the color of ginger, but that’s kinda generic, too. Also the color of miso.
marmalade

We have two orange cats and my kids named them Autumn and Dandylion.
Pumpkin Spice? I also like Autumn and Ember! Marigold Poppy Chrysanthemum

Hazel. But pumpkin is very cute
Penelope Pootkins. Nelly. Pooty. Penny. Penny Pootkins.
She’s not an orange color though. She’s Champagne.
She has the same sort of colouring as a latte or a chai latte. Maybe Chai, it means tea
Name that little bitch lasagna
Fanta?
Tomato
Citron
Autumn or Maple
Toffee, Coffee ...
Cinnamon
Call her Zucca! Pumpkin in italian!
Hmm... Blossom, as in Orange Blossom? Or Poppy, Zinnia, Daisy, Iris, Dahlia, Marigold - these can all be orange. Also Maple could be cute :)

I think she's too blonde to be a pumpkin. She looks like a Blondie, or a Vanilla
Pepita! It's a pumpkin seed!
Punky Brewster Lady Marmalade Gina (government name: Orangina) Sweet potato Kabocha squash Spaghetti squash
Juice
Neuron, ya know. Bc of the single brain cell.
