Help name the kittens?

Next week, two kittens are probably coming to live with me. (Certainly one, probably two.)

One is mostly black with lighter stripes, and the other is mostly white with Siamese-type markings. I don't have names for them yet.

I'm fond of stfnal- or fantasy-related names, especially names of cats in books (note my LJ handle). My two previous cats were Gandalf Greycat and Pyewacket.

I'm not terribly enamored of paired names because it leaves such a hole if one is no longer there. (Elise had Malt and Milton, and then Milton died of feline leukemia -- I took this to heart.)

Suggestions?

There are two cats in Peter Beagle's book Tamsin. One is named Mister Cat. I can't remember if the ghost Persian cat has a name or not. However, I think "Tamsin" is a very nice name for a cat.
