Growing up I had:
Corvette - named for her big fender like ears, and her purrrrr!
Motley - a stray found at my mom's one school,ancient, toothless and very motley/bedraggled looking.
Cherise - tortie my dad named.
Schatzi - german for sweetheart, our german shepard
Maija - our other german shepard

Now I have:
Finae (actually spelled Fine') Italian for The End - she was the last of her litter
Boris - weird for a GIRL cat, lol
Jorgie, Sophie and Honeybun are more normal
