The Oriental Express - the journey of my NEW KITTY!!!

[kittycats_delight]

Thanks everyone

LOL KAK, the white M's! I like it

I'm now in the mode of trying to think up some other possible name options for Hunter. I tend to like celestial (like Sirius), Celtic, or unique names. I picked Marius's name from a book. I just liked the way it sounded, and it really seemed to fit him. I went back and forth between Marius and Sirius for a few days before settling on Marius, so I'm sure I'll go back and forth on Hunter's name too.

Some names I've considered include:

Sirius (celestial name...brightest white star in the sky)
Orion (celestial name...also wasn't Orion a hunter? *snicker*)
Merrick
Laurent
Magnus
Vittorio
Amadeo (child of Marius...*snicker*)
Tiernan (celtic/gaelic meaning "lord")
Bane (Hawaiian meaning "long awaited child")
Mandhatri (Hindu meaning "prince")
Hoshi (Japanese for "star")

Any other ideas?

Do I sense an Anne Rice fan here? hehehe
merrick, Magnus, Laurent, Vittorio, Amadeo hehehe

Hunter is to pure to have a name of a someone with the "dark gift".

I do like Orion and yes orion was a hunter...fitting huh. But I also like Hunter too.

Out of the others you listed I love the name Magnus. It is so strong and beautiful. Always been one of my favorites.

LOL LOL You caught me! I thought someone might figure out my fascination with the Anne Rice books sooner or later. It all started with Marius...*snicker*

Yes, I think Magnus is a pretty good strong sounding name. Orion has always been my favorite constellation, so I am leaning a bit toward that one. Especially since it's a play on Hunter's name. I guess I'll just have to get him here and say all the names to see which one "pops" for him. Thanks for the feedback!

Here is the latest news from Linda:

Hi Karen,

Hunter is doing very well acclaimating back into the house. He gets along with all the other cats as well.

I am going to be in San Jose on the 6th and the 7th. Will you be ready for Hunter? There is a show at the fairgrounds on Tully Road that weekend and it can save you a trip.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas. I got my early Christmas present this morning. Five new fat and healthy babies! Babies are growing and doing extrememly well. Fudge is such a good mommy.

Take Care,
Linda



I'm so excited!!

[Freckles]

Did you say YES!! ?

[wolflady]

LOL Absolutely I said Yes! I'm so excited!

[RedHedd]

So will be you picking up Hunter at the San Jose cat show? Does that mean we all get to meet him in furson?

Awwwww, Karen, I am so happy for you, and for Hunter/??! I had to laugh at one response because when you said "Sirrius", I thought of satellite radio, too, although I do know "Sirrius" from Harry Potter, as well.

I think you need to meet him, then you'll know exactly what to name him. Can't wait to hear all the stories, once you get him home!
