How were your cats named?

Lilly was named by my 5 year old sister - we gave her the option of choosing either Chyna or Lilly, and she picked Lilly.

Oliver was so named because of the cute little cartoon movie called "Oliver & Company" and Oliver looks just like the scruffy little Oliver.

Master Yoda's story is much more interesting. He was born in a litter of 5 kittens. My older brother "reserved" one to take to college with him next year. He named it Voldemort (after the Harry Potter villian.) Unfortunately, that specific kitten contracted a bacterial infection very early in life and died. My brother chose another kitten and also named it Voldemort. That kitten contracted the same disease and died a few days later. This devasted my brother, and he blamed himself for giving the kittens the name Voldemort, saying he cursed them! I then named the only male kitten left Yoda, because I knew Yoda in Star Wars lived a loooong time, (not to mention this kitten's ears were HUGE! ), and believe it or not, Yoda also became sick with an infection, but the vet was able to save him! He is thriving now and is the cutest little kitten I've ever seen!

Lucy came with her name and it suits her very much. Gigi - well it took me a number of weeks to decide her name because I thought she was so special that she needed something 'glamorous and continental' sounding. The film 'Gigi' came into my mind suddenly one day and I knew immediately it was right for her.

Oh I forgot, Lucy is also called Tiger Pops and Ickle (long story but basically because she is tiny)
