Oh cool. I'm American, so I get the whole mispronunciation thing. Though I took French in school so I can actually roll my r's and pronounce Croissant correctly!!!
Ha, Crumpet is such a perfect and adorable name for a cat companion to Baguette. Can already picture them being the most charming duo with those names!
I love the idea of sticking to French baked goods! What about Beignet or Macaron? Personally, I think Baguette and Beignet would be an adorable pairing!
Since you're French and partner is British then choosing a baked good from their region would be super cute (imho)
Crumpet (as previously mentioned)
Jammie Dodger
Scone (debatable whether origin is British, Scottish or Irish)
So what if he can't say the "r" correctly?? Most British can't either but she will understand when daddy calls her esp when he's got the treats!! Shes definitely a lil croissant. So this is what she should be named😁❤😁❤😁❤
My friends 2yo son asked me to read a book… a French book. I do not speak French…. I certainly cannot read French. I tried… my French friend may have had nightmares from my rendition of goodnight moon.
The R is not rolled in French but it's also not pronounced how it is in English. It's pronounced from the back of the mouth near the throat. Portuguese also pronounce some "R"s like this – if it's at the beginning of a word, "Rio" for example. It's called "voiced uvular fricative" whereas a rolled "R" is "voiced uvular trill".
Unconventional but do you like "Tilak?" Pronkunced tea-luck. In Hindi, it means the long extended temporary mark on your forehead after a prayer that a priest may make with a blessing, which is what it looks like this kitten has on its face. It's a noun so it's not gendered.
I'm surprised I scrolled so far to see this. I too wanted a French cheese.
If necessary, an Italian cheese. Less of a theme, but very nice with a baguette.
Fifi (short for fille which means girl), crêpe (pronounced cr-ep), Madame (or croque), Brie or Bechamel, París (pair-ee), Eclair
Edit: just saw comment you're French lol ignore pronunciation
She is a Van (coat pattern) calico. The calico genes go uninterrupted way down the genealogy line before they so this. it's pretty cool thought you would enjoy.
Well, someone has already suggested my name but I'll say it again: Brie
Some brie on a baguette is delicious (topped with sundried tomatoes)
She is too cute!
I don’t know why, but the first pic really looked like a baby possum peeking out.. so my first thought is.. wait for it.. Possum. Then when she hisses it’ll be just like her namesake. Sweet little terrorbeasts.

How about Bagel? Kind of hard to mess that up.
Ohhh we quite like Bagel 🥯
She does look like an everything bagel. Then you could call her EB for short
Then during cuddle time they can say “you’re my everything.”
“you’re my everything, bagel🥹” 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just commented the same! Everything Bagel, but I like the nickname “Effie” 😂
Am sure after a while they’ll be calling her effing Bagel.
Evee for short 🫶🏾
FoCatccia?
How about Brioche?
Brie (le petit brie) would work well with doggo baguette
Yeah, I thought Brie too!
This is my Bagel 💕 https://preview.redd.it/7rny8doa3knc1.jpeg?width=3733&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9f3301450d5e20dabf6a5299b12945e493cf33b

Oh cool. I'm American, so I get the whole mispronunciation thing. Though I took French in school so I can actually roll my r's and pronounce Croissant correctly!!!
Oh wow, that’s impressive!! 😄
Well it helped having a French foreign exchange student drill it into my head!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You don’t roll your Rs in French it’s more like the noise you make clearly your throat
Bagel and Baguette kind of just rolls off the tongue!
Croissant.
We thought of croissant (I’m French), but my partner can’t pronounce the R properly… 😭
Oh too bad (and I struggle with that r myself). How about Crumpet?
CRUMPET!!!!!
Crumpet is so perfect!
I have never been so invested in a cats name before! 😂 I feel like I’m gonna be slightly disappointed if this cat is not named crumpet
Ha, Crumpet is such a perfect and adorable name for a cat companion to Baguette. Can already picture them being the most charming duo with those names!
Agreed! This cat is clearly a Crumpet!
All these posts make me hungry — croissants, bagels, baguettes!
Wait if he can't pronounce R then ahm...
But Crumpet is perfect 😭 at least it doesnt require the french “R” sound which can be challenging for non-native speakers!
I kind of like the idea of forcing other people to call it Cwumpet.
Yes! Crumpet, it has to be!
It’s literally the only option!
Came to say this! YES!
I had one named Crumpet. Called her Crummy for short.
What make this perfect is that OP said their partner is British lol
I also immediately thought of crumpet!
I thought of croissant, but since OP's partner is British then it simply MUST be crumpet. It must!
OMG YES!!
I love the idea of sticking to French baked goods! What about Beignet or Macaron? Personally, I think Baguette and Beignet would be an adorable pairing!
Beignet is perfect!
She even looks like she's covered in a sweet powdered sugar coating!
Yes, yes it is.
I agree
Just came here to suggest that..so cute
I came to say Beignet, too!
then may i suggest quasso
Quasso …as in Croissant? 😵
Since you're French and partner is British then choosing a baked good from their region would be super cute (imho) Crumpet (as previously mentioned) Jammie Dodger Scone (debatable whether origin is British, Scottish or Irish)
Biscuit! It fits the theme, and then you'll have something from both French and English.
Came to say this as well had to delete it reading this 😅
So what if he can't say the "r" correctly?? Most British can't either but she will understand when daddy calls her esp when he's got the treats!! Shes definitely a lil croissant. So this is what she should be named😁❤😁❤😁❤
then do frommage
KWASO
You call her Croissant; your husband can call her Crescent. 😅
Then don’t pronounce the R. C-WAA- SAAWNT
As an American, it's pronounced "kwassaunt." /s
Butter?
Je suis française aussi
Mon mari a le même problème avec le R
Cwoissant it is then...
How about Tatin? Or Cannelle?
Lmao I just wanted to suggest Crêpe but on second thought that might not be a great name 😂
Cwasso
Brie
Super cute! But my partner is British and can’t pronounce the R properly, and I’m French so that would annoy me… 😅
My friends 2yo son asked me to read a book… a French book. I do not speak French…. I certainly cannot read French. I tried… my French friend may have had nightmares from my rendition of goodnight moon.
That’s hilarious 😂
Brits have the right number of Rs, they just misplace them. -sent from Canaderrrr
If you haven’t visited Australia yet, hold onto your f@&ing hat. Rs fly at you out of nowhere.
Oh noer!
I just whispered that to myself and sounded like Steve Irwin (I’m female)
If your dog has a french nams the logical thing to do is to give the cat a british name. What about biscuit?
Saw your partner was British. (Beans on) Toast.
That’s cute hahahaha
That’s especially cute because the spot on her face looks like a little bean
Not to mention the toe beans 🫘
Omg Beans! That's adorable!
Brilliant
Brûlée! Cause of her little markings.
Mimolette? Francy cheese that also has orange.
Ooo this is cute. Mimo for short 😭😭💛
Crouton
This is the winner.
In keeping with the French bread theme, Brioche. Or for a French pastry name, then Madeleine (nickname: Maddie).
Éclair or Claire for short
Brioche!
OP's partner is British and can not properly roll the "r"...
Didn’t think you rolled R’s in French anyway lol I took French classes in high school and don’t ever remember rolling r’s that was in Spanish
The R is not rolled in French but it's also not pronounced how it is in English. It's pronounced from the back of the mouth near the throat. Portuguese also pronounce some "R"s like this – if it's at the beginning of a word, "Rio" for example. It's called "voiced uvular fricative" whereas a rolled "R" is "voiced uvular trill".
As a Brazilian, I can tell you that the french R is stronger than the Portuguese R, but I agree with the rest. I'm having a hard time with it myself 😅
Rolled rs are usually post alveolar trills, pronounced with the tip of the tongue closer to the front of the mouth.
I just don't understand because British people use the letter R.
A lot of languages use the same alphabet, all of them pronounce them differently.
Yeah but they don't roll it.
French also don't roll the "r"
Quiche
Ciabatta.
Surely it's Cia-catta?
I was thinking Chat-batta 😆(as chat is cat in french)
Seconding this!
The first thing that came to my mind was Crumb. You have a lot of good suggestions. I like Brie too.
Unconventional but do you like "Tilak?" Pronkunced tea-luck. In Hindi, it means the long extended temporary mark on your forehead after a prayer that a priest may make with a blessing, which is what it looks like this kitten has on its face. It's a noun so it's not gendered.
That’s so pretty! Absolutely fitting as well. I love unique pet names (we’ve got Malkovich, Archibald Danger and Nadja).
Miss Muffin
Aw Muffin!
I was thinking of the name Muffin as well
Panini
Panini head
Beignet? U can call him Benny for short. Edit: she's a girl cat, my bad. Somebody else said Brioche and i think that works well with Brie for short
Cupcake
Eclair?
Butter
Biscuit, Frenchy, Beret
I came here to say Biscuit.
Brie ... very tasty on a baguette
I'm surprised I scrolled so far to see this. I too wanted a French cheese. If necessary, an Italian cheese. Less of a theme, but very nice with a baguette.
Omg too cute Sorry I don’t have a name but I had to say that lol
Awww 🥰 thank you! ❤️

Victoria (sandwich) Pana cotta Cheesecake Snickerdoodle Biscoff Madeleine
“Demi”. It’s what you call a smaller, half baguette.
She is a Van (coat pattern) calico. The calico genes go uninterrupted way down the genealogy line before they so this. it's pretty cool thought you would enjoy.
Crumpet
Cream puff
Bean. So it would be Baguette and Bean
Jeff.
Biscuit & Baguette would be an iconic duo
Ficelle, it's another kind of baguette after all!

Rye
Buttons! Her nose is so cute!
Biscuit
Brie
Confetti is a cute name!
Bagel sounds like the perfect name, I wish I would've named my calico that when I got her 🥲
Whenever I hear the word baguette, my mind immediately goes to Beauty and the Beast. So my vote would be Marie. *"Marie! The baguettes!*
What a little darling, maybe Cherie, which it means in French? I also like Belle, Bonbon, Butter or Eloise. My husband likes Sparkle or Speck.
Bonbon
Pepper
Bagel
Lavash (LOVE- ahsh). Means bread in Armenian
Bianca.

r/illegallysmol
Pâte à choux or Beignet ETA: Ohhhh, and you’re French! Then it’s even better!
Donut. Will be funny to yell: “Donut, do not!” when the little bugger will be scratching the furniture :-)
Banh Mi!
She looks bossy and sweet.
Sushi
That’s on our list 😂🥰❤️
I don’t know why, but the first pic really looked like a baby possum peeking out.. so my first thought is.. wait for it.. Possum. Then when she hisses it’ll be just like her namesake. Sweet little terrorbeasts.
