Sheba was named for the Queen of Sheba, since I wanted a rather exotic
name for her. She is a tortie and acts like a queen.

Amber was named for Lord Amber, a magician in the Crystal Gryphon
series by Andre Norton, I was reading at the time. And he is
amber-colored.

Djoser, the Black Panther, was named for the first Pharoah to build a
pyramid. I was reading a book on Egypt at the time and there was a
picture of a statue of the king with the same facial expression as the
cat. And the statue was black.

Robin is Russian Blue, the same steely gray color of a robin.

A robin?

Ted was named by her first person, Jon. Jon was into the movie "The
Jerk" at the time, so named her (!) "****head". It quickly became
"Ted" and has stayed that way ever since. Because she's a calico I
sometimes also call her "Pumpkin".

Persephone was re-badged. The RSPCA carers who found her called her
Percy, but "he" turned out to be a "she" and I thought Persephone was
close to Percy. She is a tuxeudo and Queen of the Underworld seems to
suit her quite well, especially when she has the dibbil in her. Her
alternate name is Monkey because she is Irrepressible. (who else here
is a fan of the old TV series "Monkey"?)

Spock went without a name for a long time. For months he was "grey
kitten", to distinguish him from his calico sister and black brother.
When he decided not to be re-homed (we were fostering him at the
time), we thought we aught to give him a proper name. He has Mr Spock
(from Star Trek) eyebrows and huge, pointed ears, so Spock/Spocky he
is. His alternative name is "you little sh*t" and is mostly thus
called when he escapes out the front door.

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!
