    Need help with a name

    It looks like we're getting a new kitty.

    There's a little old man that just moved into a park model across the street from us that has a kitty that needs a home. He and his wife were full-timers in their motorhome for 5 years when his wife died last February. This winter he decided to take his kids' advice (all 13 of them! ) and get rid of the motorhome and settle down into a park model. "Home" is Ohio and the reason he wants to get rid of the kitty is because there is no way she would take the ride back to Ohio, then back out here next fall in a car.

    She is a beautiful long hair calico with a little "snot" near her nose. I don't have any pics yet because we don't have her yet. She was hiding when we were there, so he will bring her over when he can get ahold of her.

    Anyway, the reason for the post is her name, which is Robin. I'm really not fond of people names for kitties, which is the reason we made Jack into Cracker Jack. We also really liked the way Peanut(s) and Cracker Jack fit together so well, so I'm hoping you guys can help us come up with another name that goes with Cracker Jack.

    I was thinking something like.....Cracker Jack and Cookie, or Cracker Jack and Candy, or Cracker Jack and Soda Pop. Terry thought of Jack and Coke. But we didn't really like any of the ones we came up with, so I said I'd ask PT for help.

    Oh, another one we came up with is Jack and Jill, which is cute.....but they're people names.....

    Any other ideas?

    Bingo was Sailor Jack's dog. Or you could call her Carmel... like the coating. Or Toffee, since they make CJ with a toffee coating. Something sweet and melty sounding for a little longhaired calico girl. Or maybe Smore if she's the brown (graham crackers), black (chocolate) and white (marshmallow) mixture of the calico

    As you can tell by what I name my babies, I love people names for them. I love the name Cookie for a kitty! That means she is sweet and loveable (like a cookie). I can't wait to see pictures of her.

    What about Caramel. That might go with her coloring.

    CONGRATULATIONS! Can't wait to see a picture. Only thing I could come up with is Butter, Toffee, or Candy. I'll be watching for the pictures.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    How about Popcorn or Fiddle Faddle?
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    My dear human friend Robin would argue that it is a human being name!

    I like Caramel or Carmel, or Sugar, but only you will know when you meet her!

    I knew I could count on PT - great suggestions!

    I love the idea of Surprise or Prize. I also love Toffee and Caramel and Fiddle Faddle! I had to Google Fiddle Faddle so Terry could see what it was. They even have toffee flavored Fiddle Faddle.

    We peeked under the bed where she was hiding, so we have a little idea of what she looks like - lots of white with the caramel colored "snot" by her nose, and I noticed her tail has many different colors in it. But we'll have to see her in her full glory before really deciding on a name, so keep the ideas coming!

    Oops, forgot to add that there were three definitions for Fiddle Faddle on another link from Google.
    1) fid·dle-fad·dle (fĭd'l-făd'l)
    n.
    Nonsense.
    2)fiddle-faddle
    noun
    Something or things that are unimportant:
    3)The noun fiddle-faddle has one meaning:
    Meaning #1: trivial nonsense

    Oh Goodie! I can't wait for pics! I'm with you on the Cracker-Jack - food-related name. How about Jelly Bean or Tootsie (Tootsie Roll)?
