I adopted Storm from the Humane Society and they had named him Storm. I decided to keep it because I thought it suited him. Later on it has also fit his personality because he can be very moody or stormy at times.
My RB Pepper was adopted from Petco and his original name was Chocolate which I didn't really like. Since he was black, full of energy or pep, and he was sneezing a little bit he became Pepper. I never knew just how popular this name was when I named him.
My RB Sunny didn't even have a name and he was 8 months old when I adopted him. Since he was orange and I already had a Storm, I decided to name him Sunny. I actually had the name picked ahead of time because I was looking to adopt an orange male cat. The name was perfect because he was such a happy boy and he always brought sunshine to my household.
Sky was originally named Herman which I hated. I fell in love with his sky blue eyes so I named him Sky after his eyes. He loves his name and if I ever call him Herman he'll ignore me.
Both Pearl & Ziggy Stardust were already named by another PT'er who was fostering them. I liked their names so I kept them. The name Pearl also has some meaning to me because this was my grandmothers name.
My RB Starr was going to be adopted by a lady that I knew so she named him Sammy. She later decided that the timing wasn't right so I ended up adopting him. At the time I had Storm, Sunny, and Sky and I wanted a name that would fit in with these so I named him Starr.
The litter that my redheads came from were all named after deserts. Alani was originally named Tanami and Blaze was originally named Sahara. I didn't want to keep these names but I wanted names that would go with their orange/red coat colors. I always loved the name Blaze so that was an easy one. I looked at a list of cat names and I saw the name Alani which is Hawaiian for orange blossom tree. I thought it was perfect so this is how they became Alani & Blaze. So far I haven't heard of another cat named Alani and I get good comments about his name when I'm at the vets all the time.
