Fun Topic: How did your cat or cats get their names ?

[snakemama]

Hubby named Sherpa, and I don't really know where it came from. Charlie was found by a friend of my sister's...he thought she was a boy and picked that name. I thought it was a good one and kept it. Kyubey is...a little amoral creature from an anime, and he eats souls....as a former vet tech, I firmly believe that cats hold to the "law of opposite names", so I wanted to give Kyubey a name that would ensure tht he was friendly and lovable. It worked!

Trust me, when a vet tech sees a cat with a name like "Angel" or "Sweetie" on the list of the day's patients, they know to be ready to break out the leather gloves....Cats with names like Chaos or Lil' S**t (Yes, there really was a LS at the last clinic I worked in, best patient EVER) on the other hand, tend to be wonderful.

My VERY first cat, RB Mollie Rose I named after my niece Holly Rose. RB MooShoo was named by my daughter. He had the pattern of a moo cow and she suggested Moo. I put the "Shoo" part in.

Maya Linn is named after the woman who designed the Vietnam Wall in Washington, DC. My Munchkin, Shortiegirl was originally named Little Mews Faberge by her bad breeder. I call her my Twenty Five Dollar Short Multi-Color Kitty Cat. Her breeder spent so much money on her trying to save her from pyometria they decided to name her Faberge, after the very expensive egg. I liked the name Shortiegirl. UtchieB I originally named AustinButchie. Somehow the UtchieB name stuck.

Xavier aka Spike I renamed after adopting him from the Old Saybrook Animal Control. He's a 20 pounder and the name fit perfectly.

Isis, my other Sphynx came with that name and she sure answers to it!!

Bartie has had his name since he was 6 weeks old. He's now 16 years old.

Buddy was originally named Baby by his former owner who never came back to get him. He's my Budman and my heart kitty.

Puff-Puff ( I did NOT name him) and HE'S NOT STAYING!!!!!!

I thought this would be fun and interesting too. How did your kitties get their name ?

What a great idea! I'm enjoying very much reading this thread!

Our beloved RB Chester got his name after Chester Cheetah, the mascot of Cheetos, since he was an orange little boy
He was very peaceful and used to sit inside a box or in the window for hours, as if he was concentrated, meditating on something so we used to say "cats are wise"
Then when we got a certain little girl we didn't know how to name her; first I wanted to name her "Perlita" (little Pearl) but my brother didn't like it, so I said "Sophia", because that name means "wisdom", since cats are wise... and made sense, so we named her Sophie Helena
