Eddie was given the name "Eduardo" here on PetTalk. Was it Cataholic who named him? To match Edwina.
And yes, they know their names and do not get confused!

Most of my cats got their names because of their appearance and/or their story. Angel was a tiny white female kitten. Shadow is black. Little Orphan Annie is a calico cat who had a very rough start in life. She is the reason I found Pet Talk and to this day I credit many of you on here for giving me advice on how to care for her and bring her back to health, but even more impotantly for the thousands of prayers that Pet Talkers sent up for her. Dottie is a Tuxedo cat and it took me the longest to think of a name to fit her. Spook is a little black cat that came to us as a tiny black kitten in October of 2008. He had a TERRIBLE eye infection and had to have his eye surgically removed.
S.A.M. aka "Sammy" is a long-haired black and white cat with feet that look like they have "Socks And Mittens" on them. So her name is made from those initials. Kingston was found up inside a car engine in the parking lot at a hospital near where I work. The name of the Street where he must have climbed up into the car's engine compartment is Kingston Avenue. And Casper is a white kitten who we just got in October. White cat in the month of October, when Halloween is celebrated, just seemed logical to name him Casper. And with our other "October" cat named Spook, it is a good topic of conversation sometimes!
I am really enjoying everyones stories So interesting to read about how all these beloved kitties names came to be .
Nothing says love like a kitty purring in you ear
Cleo: the petshop where I got Cleo thought he was a she and were calling him Cleopatra. I kept the name and called him Cleo.
After I learned he was a male, I still called him Cleo but said it was short for Cleophus a man's name found in the Bible.
Felicia: she was named after Felicia Sanders a singer from the 40s and early 50s. I had heard the "Song From the Moulin Rouge" with Felicia Sanders doing the vocal. I fell in love with the name Felicia, and thats what I named my next cat.
Inly and Shadow were both black.
Beau: his full name was McCleo's Beau. I wanted to remember Cleo (who was only 6 when he died). I also took the MC from my last name. I cannot remember how I came up with the name Beau.

Ecclesiastes 3:1The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

Puddy got her name from the cartoon "I tot I taw a puddy tat".
Peeka and Boo got their names b/c I named her and her brother Boo at the same time. Peeka/Boo
Pidgie warbled like a pigeon when I found her so I name her Pigeon and always called her Pidgie Pie.
Creamsicle had the color of a creamsicle and she was so tiny and cute that I said "Oh I could just eat you up!"
Yoda got her name from the Star Wars character b/c her ears were always flattened. However, later I learned that she had an ear polyp and that's why her ears looked that way. I call her Yodie Yodie now b/c we don't want any more ear polyps.
Specs has white circles around his eyes so that he looks like he's wearing spectacles.
Coco Puff had the cutest little brown testicles and when he walked away I said that they looked like furry little Coco Puffs. He doesn't have them any more but the name stuck.
Blessings,

I like the way you think, black and white cats with socks and mittens, I have always thought that black and white cats were supposed to be Sam cats, it goes way back to when I was about 12 and two of my friends had cats named Sam that were black and white and my neighbor's black and white cat that I used to petsit was named Sam and he is the one I named my RB cat Samantha after when I got her.
Milly and Izzy came with their names, but Izzy was called Isabelle (that is her name on her vet records), we thought about changing their names when we got them but Milly knew her name and always answers to it and Izzy decided she prefers to be called just Izzy. They both have a few nicknames, Milly even has a last name, Kwann because a year before I adopted Milly, my daughter used that as an online name, Izzy needed a last name too so she became Izzy Lou Who because she was no more than 2 when we got her and she reminded me a bit of cute little Cindy Lou Who from How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Milly has some nicknames like Mildred, Millicent and Millikins and even Milly Puff because we tease her that if she ever married her Pet Talk boyfriend Coco Puff that her last name would be Puff too. (I have to laugh at how Coco Puff actually got his name!)
RIP sweet Samantha

This thread is pretty neat, I like reading everyone's stories.
We adopted Snow from a shelter. She preciously had that name and we decided to keep it since she is all white & well, looks like..snow. We usually call her "snowbelle" sometimes because when we first brought her home, she would always wear collars with bells. So the nickname stuck!
I found RB Sassy on the street. I named her after the cat in Homeward Bound. Big mistake, she lived up to the name!
Missy was three months old when I got her from a coworker. I liked the name ok and it seemed to fit her, so I kept it.
Angel came from a rescue and I just kept her name.
Tessa, also from a rescue, was named Contessa, which is really her name, but I call her Tessa.
Forever in my heart...
