I gave them all their names. I havent changed them, but have modified them from time to time.
Tinkerbelle - Tink, Stinky, Stinkybelle.
Kewpie - Q-baby, Kewpiedoll, Yitty.
Spike - Dude, Dudey boy.
Rocky - Dicky.
The seem to know who I am talking to even with the funky variations.
Mine were both nameless, but were both tiny kittens when we adopted them.
Took a day to decide on Josie's name . . . but we already had Brodie's name picked out before we went & found him! It fit him perfectly though! :)
Shadow has been named Shadow since the day she was born..she was the only black kitty in with 4 gray kitties and a stripped kitty.
Callie has always been Callie and Whisper was "one of those gray ones."
Monty was scorpio
Rosco was Dominic

Marshall,Madeline and Birdie...Jan QSL named.I like them.

I adopted Eepie when she was five weeks old. My husband suggested that I name her Angel so we called her that for about three days. When she would meow, her voice was so high-pitched it sounded like 'Eep! Eep!' so I started saying 'You're a little eepie thing, aren't you?' Soon both of us were calling her Eepie.
Grey Girl's name was Ashes. I adopted her when she was about a year old. Her coat is the color of ashes which is where she got her name from. She loves to talk to me while I take a bath so I'd say things like, "I love my grey girl. What a pretty grey girl." That's how Grey Girl got her name!
ROFLOL!!! We have come to know so many of these kitties and then to see what their names used to be is so funny! The "old" names don't fit most of them at all!
Sammy's name got changed from Sally for obvious reasons!;) :p
Mr. Magoo was Ocular
Everybody else was a nameless little stray before me so I'm to blame for who they are now.:D
I always have to wait after I get a cat to name it; it usually takes me 3-4 weeks to pick a name that fits.
I got Bo at six weeks. He was a little troublemaker (but he is so good now), so at first I called him "Little Bad".
So Little Bad became Bo
Abby was named "Sparky" by her previous owner. I didn't care for that name. I actually re-named her Abby within a week, so no other transitional names took.
Hanna was a 8-9 week-old stray, so if she did by any remote chance have another name I was not aware of it. I played with the name Lily, and a few others, but in the end the name Hanna stuck.
So now I have Bo, Abby and Hanna. I call them my Amish cat family because of their names.
Michaels,was Dylan.The Rest,of the Found Cats,all have thier original names.
I dug out my adoption records.
Schatzie was named Ebbony.
Auggie was I.D. # 014-1145
OMG, I never knew that my sweet baby was in the kill shelter
for 5 days.:(
We only renamed one of ours. Bailey was the name we gave our little Bailey, since we raised him from kittenhood. Leila came with that name, and we liked it, so we kept it. Leo was originally called "Red Baron" and we thought Leo was more fitting (like Leo the Lion, etc.) and cute. Claudia came with that name, and it just seemed to work well for her, like Leila's name did, so we left it at that. :)
Interesting thread.
Saphirah was "Alexander." She was named by the children in the household where she was born, and they knew she was female.:confused:
Chloe was a shelter cat, and Samson was a stray. If they had names before, we don't know what they were.
Tigger was a nameless stray kitty :(
Emma's name was "Hilda" LOL
Maya wasnamed "Pitou" when she arrived in the shelter. We didn't like that name, as it is a dog's name :rolleyes: ! besides, Maya sounds much sweeter for our sweetheart!!
Inka was found and unnamed
Sydney (RB), was named by us from birth
