    Cassie's shelter name was Heinbuch. No, really. She was named for Dr. Heinbuch, who is one of the veterinarians at the practice Harmony House works with. I named her Cashmere because she's the same color as the grey cashmere blend coat my mom was wearing when she found out I had adopted a cat. My other choice for her name was Pepper. She's got a lot of little "pet" names now, though - cookie, boo (for Booboo Kitty on Laverne and Shirley), bug, missy...

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    from what I know, Buddy was known as "Mailbox" since he was found inside a mailbox outside the humane society building. as for Abby , I havent any idea , as she was with many siblings at the same shelter and they all looked the same.

    I adopted Eepie when she was five weeks old. My husband suggested that I name her Angel so we called her that for about three days. When she would meow, her voice was so high-pitched it sounded like 'Eep! Eep!' so I started saying 'You're a little eepie thing, aren't you?' Soon both of us were calling her Eepie.

    Grey Girl's name was Ashes. I adopted her when she was about a year old. Her coat is the color of ashes which is where she got her name from. She loves to talk to me while I take a bath so I'd say things like, "I love my grey girl. What a pretty grey girl." That's how Grey Girl got her name!

    ROFLOL!!! We have come to know so many of these kitties and then to see what their names used to be is so funny! The "old" names don't fit most of them at all!

    Sammy's name got changed from Sally for obvious reasons!

    Mr. Magoo was Ocular

    Everybody else was a nameless little stray before me so I'm to blame for who they are now.

    I always have to wait after I get a cat to name it; it usually takes me 3-4 weeks to pick a name that fits.

    I got Bo at six weeks. He was a little troublemaker (but he is so good now), so at first I called him "Little Bad".

    So Little Bad became Bo

    Abby was named "Sparky" by her previous owner. I didn't care for that name. I actually re-named her Abby within a week, so no other transitional names took.

    Hanna was a 8-9 week-old stray, so if she did by any remote chance have another name I was not aware of it. I played with the name Lily, and a few others, but in the end the name Hanna stuck.

    So now I have Bo, Abby and Hanna. I call them my Amish cat family because of their names.

    We only renamed one of ours. Bailey was the name we gave our little Bailey, since we raised him from kittenhood. Leila came with that name, and we liked it, so we kept it. Leo was originally called "Red Baron" and we thought Leo was more fitting (like Leo the Lion, etc.) and cute. Claudia came with that name, and it just seemed to work well for her, like Leila's name did, so we left it at that.

    Interesting thread.

    Thanks to krazyaboutkatz for the cute avatar and wolf_Q for the cute siggy!

    Rest in Peace, sweet Leo. You are sorely missed!
    Since I last posted, we have another new addition - Tabitha, as of fall 2008.

    Saphirah was "Alexander." She was named by the children in the household where she was born, and they knew she was female.

    Chloe was a shelter cat, and Samson was a stray. If they had names before, we don't know what they were.

    Neko we named.
    Cookie we named.

    Pumpkin's name was Jasper (that was her shelter name). We changed it because I wanted to name her something that had to do with her orangie color.
    Tama's name was Little Friend---very odd but his previous owners could not think of a name for him!

    I love my furkid Neko!

    Wow, this is an old.

    -I named Oliver, Raisin, and Sundae all as kittens.
    -Jimmy was named by my boss when she found him as a kitten.
    -Kitten was originally named Rav by my sister, all of his vet records and things are under Rav. The name Rav didn't fit him though and we just called him Kitten. He responds to both Kitten and Kit.
