Smokey - because she's grey
Tennessee Tuxedo - because he's black with a white 'bow tie' at his 'purr
box' and a white 'cummerbund spot on his belly
Ivy - because she was born a feral, and was caught in a patch of poison ivy
Lizzie - because she's a haughty regal cat (Lizzie is short for Queen
Elizabeth)
Weeble - because he was only a day or two old (no teeth, eyes not open and
ears were tiny flaps on the side of his head) when I found him, and he would
'walk' around looking for food (formula) and he was all weebly-wobbly (his
head was a bit heavy for him, and he almost ended up doing handstands
resting on his nose)

The names that we choose for our pets all have different meanings and
origins. I was just looking to see if anyone had any interesting
stories about how they came up with the names of their pets.

I'm a TV freak so my cats' names are all from TV shows. Ned, my
eleven year old black and white panda-esque cat, was named after a
character on the soap "General Hospital". My "middle" cat, eight year
old Otto, was named after a character from the British comedy series
"Allo Allo". My youngest kitty, one year old Anya, was named after a
demon from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"... and certainly lives up to the
name sometimes, too!
