Your Cat's Names

Many of the kitty names in this thread are terrific! If you
haven't done so already, perhaps some of you might like to
visit Flippy in Australia's superlative cat web site, and
add some of those names to her huge list of ones people have
given their furry masters and mistresses.

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.

Mine are all rescues and their names are split between ordinary
cat names and descriptive names.


Smokey and Natasha (Tasha) are Russian Blues. Smokey came with
his name.

Squidget is a squeaky midget.

Roxy, my Persian, came with her name.

Sumo was a very thin boy with a typical round Asian body when he was a
kitten and has a little white mawashi (sash) underneath his
otherwise black body.

Lady Jane Grey, my twenty year old beard snuggler, got her name when
we wanted to rescue a gray kitty.

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!

Stop by and vote in the latest Poll of the Moment! Who do YOU think
was the most annoying TV personality of the 2003-2004 television
season? Was it the cast of "Friends"? Cocky "American Idol" hopeful
Fantasia Borrino? Maybe it was "Boston" Rob? Vote now!

Here's mine:

Cosmo - after the cosmos, and Cosmo Kramer on "Seinfeld".
Internet - tossed it out as a joke, and he responded to it. So now
he's stuck with it!
Sabra - told me his name telepathically. Didn't know at the time it
*was* a name, and one with much meaning to boot.
Trill - from the species on "Star Trek - Next Gen", and because he
makes that trilling noise a lot.
Wolfie - short for Wulfgangh von Catticus. He reminds me of a friend
named Wulfgangh's dog.
Brando - former feral, who looked like Brando at the end of "On the
Waterfront" when I first trapped him. Not to mention his wide girth
;-).
Merlyn - I said I was going to name my next male cat Merlin. However,
he turned out to be she, so I feminized the spelling. And she
responded to it right away!

(already told the story about how I named myself ;-) )
