Your cat's name?

How did your cat get his or her name? Did he come with the name, was she
names after where she was found? Maybe it was her coloring or his
personality?

Cinnamon- her coloring, she is a tordi

Abby was named by the lady who rescued her.

Samwise-(Sam) Named by DH for Samwise in LOTR, because he has that wide
eyed innocent look and he is living up to his name looking for second and
third breakfast.

My first 2 cats I got from a litter my brother's barn cat had. I was
really into Steve King at the time. The female is named Annie, from
Misery. The male started out as Gage, from Pet Cemetery. I didn't
really like that and no other male character's name didn't seem to fit.
Somehow I came up with Jake. Turns out this is a Steven King
character in the Dark Tower series, which I haven't read.

Penny (RB) was Peaches when I adopted her. I guess because she was a
calico but the orange looked more of a rust/peach color. I changed it
to Penny just 'cause it seemed to fit her better.

Frank was named after Frank Zappa, because he has a little black spot on
his chin, just like Zappa's beard (the goatee hadn't come back into
fashion yet in 1987, when Frank was born).

Miranda's name was originally Cashmere. That had become Mere by the time
she came to me. That gradually evolved into Mir-mir. Suddenly I
remembered that I had resolved, years ago, to call one of my cats
Miranda. She was to be a tabby, and her nickname would be Randi, which
means stripey in Swedish (randig). Well, Miranda isn't a tabby (though
she has faint stripes along her tail, like all Russian Blues), and I
don't call her Randi, I call her Mir-mir or Mirsan.

Caliban was named thus because of his hoolikitten ways, and because
Miranda thought he was disgusting at first (see The Tempest ;o)).
They're best friends now, though.

Persia told me her name... she had been with me a couple of weeks and I
turned around and looked at her. She was walking away from me and the name
'Persia' just popped in my head. I said "Persia!" and she turned around and
ran back towards me. She has answered to it ever since. So that is her
name.

Too many to name taking care of 200 cats at the shelter

I just liked the name Lily, so when I got my sweetie I named her Lily. She
answers to it whenever I call her, so I guess her name is Lily.

Snoopy was named by her previous slave's little boy, considering he was only
three years old at the time I think he did quite well. Bagheera is named
after the black panther in 'Jungle Book'

I've never been owned by a female cat, until the latest incumbent.
That's why she's just plain old "Mrs Cat" :-)

around her eyes).
