I have been told Lexie means defender of Mankind, and is the pet form of Alexandra, yes I can just see this dear little petite black kitty of mine defending all mankind lol.

Ash is self explanatory but is named after Ash on Pokemon.

Lock's name, is, of course, not in there! :) But, Finn means Fair! Which I guess could mean "just" which is cool. Or, it could be referring to coloring....like fair haired....which would fit, cuz Finn is yellow! :)

George is a farmer.

Milly ( Mildred ) is Mild Strength. Lol! They've never met her then.

Milo ( Miles ) is Soldier. Hmmm, not sure too many squadies like having their bellies tickled. At least no in that way ;)


Sandy comes from Alexander apparently. Not sure I'd agree with that.
But anyway, it means Protector of Mankind. This is a cat who visibly trembles when you pick him up and runs away if he catches you watching him out of a window.
Heheheheee.

Bob ( Robert ). Bright Fame. Cool!

Well, I have Hanna, Abby and Bo. I like picking people names for my cats, and it seens I like to pick old-fashioned sounding names for them. Naming of cats is not to be taken lightly, all my cats were nameless for about a month until I picked a name that suited them. I keep saying I have the Amish cat family ( disclaimer - I honestly don't know if Hanna, Abby and Bo are common Amish names), but the names fit them.

Well, Juni means Junioara (feminin for Junior) - The Young, Child). It is just pronounced differently than in English. And Pichu means kiddo, so.... :) I'm sure I can't find his name on the site :)

This is what the search engine said about mine:

Lily
Gender: Female
Meaning: Blossoming flower
Origin: Latin

Luna
Gender: Female
Meaning: The Moon
Origin: Latin

Well, knew about the meanings before, but I didn't know Lily has also a latin origin.

Of course the search engine hasn't listed the names of my RBs, Katz and Aysche.

Katz is German and is short for Katze which means cat, and Aysche is a Turkish name, and as far as I know it means "The Living".

Egyptian Goddess of Love, dancing and Food. Also Godess of the Sun as well. Purrfect cat name :)

Aspen and Misty

Misty- Covered with Mist, Dew

Sada- Pure One


Although, Sada's full name is Lil Crusader (after our school mascot) but that name isn't on there so I had to use her nick name.

Ash :D

Ally got her name for two reasons:
1. We found her in the garden - hence she is an "Alley-Cat"
2. I love the TV show Ally McBeal
(It actually means "Of Noble Birth", but I am not going to tell her that - she is enough of a stuck-up little madam already!! LOL

Connor was named courtesy of the kind folks here on Pet Talk - I had a short-list of names, and being Scottish wanted something of Gaelic origin - Connor was chosen as the best name on the list.

It means "Most Wanted" and that is true - I waited months for him!!!

Dallas- Meaning: Wise (It should say clumsy, I swear I have never seen such an uncoordinated animal)

Dusty- Meaning: From the name DUSTIN (Dustin = warrior) which is actually pretty correct. He is a fearless little furball.

and Hana means flower.

Neither one of mine were on that site. The closest to Mishi was Misha, which is Michael in Russian. The closest to Mitzi was Mitsu which means Light in Japanese. LOL! Mitzi is anything BUT light, my beautiful Plush gal! :D

Now "officially" Mishi is short for Mishigaas (his full name given to him by his Jewish foster mom) which came from the fact that he is mishugenah (sp?) - my beloved cuckoo kitty.

Mitzi is named for her little white mitts.

Samantha means "listener of God", Daisy means "Daisy flower" and apparently Jessica means "wealthy". Well, after giving her free board and lodgings for eight years, that is a big surprise to me!

Allen means Fair and Handsome, which fits because I'm always calling him My Handsone Guy.

Hmm.. Pouncer seems to not be in the database, but I'm going to take a leap of judgement and say that it means One Who Pounces.

Sammy - short for Samuel which means - Gods Word

Leroy - The King
the king of what? Goofdom maybe?http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/wink.gif

OMG! I forgot Maggie Sue! Please don't let her find out!!http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/eek.gif

Maggie - Pearl
Sue - Lilly

Maggie Sue is a pearl lilly!
I think her fur siblings would find such a gentle and kind description of her rather amusing.http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

Priss's name means that she is a spoiled princess that we wait on hand and foot, she is a PRISS and has cattitude! Boy does she have us wrapped around her paw. She can also be very loving, especially with her Daddy. She's a typical female, very moody, LOL. :rolleyes:

Bubby's name came from "Buddy" and "Brother". I would ask Priss where her brother was and since my cousin called her brother "Bubby" sometimes, that's kindof where it came from. Where is your Bubby? Hey Buddy! = Hey Bubby! :D He is an absolute angel.

Lucky was named that because he was LUCKY to be alive after he was rescued from the side of a busy road about to cross it as a little kitten. He is so sweet and still loves to wrestle! :D
