What was your cat's original name?

[kuhio98]

Halo - Unknown because she was a stray
Cammie - called Roberta at the shelter we adopted her from but she was 10 years old, so she probably has had other names as well.
Pepper - called Sprite at the shelter.

Miss Boo Boo Kitty was called Tiger Lily by her previous owners.Ashley and Raven were both 4 yrs old when we adopted them, thought it would be best not to change their names. Norton was called Bandit at the shelter because he would steal from the staff's lunches! Tina Peepers was Christopher, then we found out " he " was a she! Riley, Molly, Spunky, Mickey Roo, Ralph Syracuse had no names, and Hayley was Autumn, then Star, the Hayley! Almost forgot, Nicholas remained Nicholas! And little Sylvia Purrogoli was named after the NPR Rome reporter, Sylvia Porgoli!

Oliver´s name was Rudolpho!

Hahaha, I still giggle when I say it!

[Van10]

Tux never had another name because he was a stray.
Pesca was called Firsty by the breeder because she was the first kitten to be born.

My hairless cat was named "Spot" I chose MooShoo because of his oriental look.

My Munchkin's original name was Little Mews Faberge. I renamed her "Shortie Girl"

Mollie Rose and Maya Linn didn't have names at the time so I chose their names.

When I first adopted Doogie from the Dearborn Animal Shelter, his name was "George". I always liked Doogie Houser, M.D. so I named him Doogie. He's now living the high life with Val (Dukedogsmom).

Skye's name was Milano. After the Pepperidge Farm cookie. She and her brothers were the Pepperidge Farm Family. Her brothers were Chessmen and Brussels, but I thought Skye fit her better .

[Shady]

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!

[CalliesMom]

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."

Louis and Krissy had no names

[catmandu]

Pouncierge was Daisy,and Miquelito was another sort of dumb name.
I generally let the Found Cats keep thier names althoough I changed Sams to Shemp in honor of the Late Stooge.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Brody was originally Lucky....

[bleupurrs]

Zöe is her original name, I got here from a breeder as a 10 week old baby. Zöe is named for a friend and former coworker from Canada,
when I asked her is she minded my using her name for my beautiful new kitten she said she "would be honoured", so that has always been her name. Phoebe was originally named Morning Glory.That just didn't fit her. I changed her name to Phoebe, after Phoebe on the TV show, 'Friends' because she is always doing something goofy that makes me laugh...

[Don Juan's mom]

Cardamom (RB) was called Miss Kitty by her previous owner. She was Miss Kitty to me for a couple of weeks, then I decided to call her something less "generic." Her dark stripes were the color of black cardamom pods.

Don Juan got his name at the Humane Society, where he was brought as a stray. I kept it because he is a big lovebug, and just a little bit naughty.

Zerlina was Zana at Hopalong Animal Rescue. When I met her at the Petsmart adoption center, I scratched her ear and asked if she'd like to be called "Zerlina." She purred. She's named for a character in the Mozart-Da Ponte opera Don Giovanni. Zerlina is a peasant girl at her wedding when she encounters the charming Don Giovanni, who almost succeeds in persuading her to abandon her new husband and run off with him. (Fortunately, bridegroom Masetto turns up just in the nick of time.) And my Zerlina has just the same sweet-and-spicy temperament.
