New Kitten, Need Name

unilateralunilateral Registered User regular
edited January 2007 in Help / Advice Forum
Alright, I remember the last of these threads came up with some amazing names for kittens, and now I have a new kitten that needs a name. Now I already have a few names in mind, but I thought I'd post a thread on here to see if anybody had any better ideas.

One thing though: I don't want any people names. I always felt weird calling an animal a common person name. It's just something I don't like.

Names he can't have because of the other cats living in this house:
Butters
Stinkers
Tiny

I'll get some pictures posted here in a few minutes. He's grey and white striped with white feet if anyone sees thsis before I get pictures up.

    I can only think of two names, Mittens and Fritz.

    leftright, that works best if you have two cats, one named the other.

    I've found that asking people to help you name a cat just ruins the experience. Hang around the cat long enough and it will tell you his/her name.

    (By that I mean something funny / significant will happen and you'll come up with the best name on the spot. Unless, that is, you can speak to cats - but if you could do that, why are you asking us?)

    The only person name I can ever consider naming a pet is Steve. I have no idea why, but the thought of an animal named Steve really makes me laugh. Maybe other mundane, non-wacky names. Paul. Bill. Joe. Frank? Nah, Frank can be wacky.

    My roommate's cat is named Chester. He's a big fat grey cat. It's a great name.

    The secret of naming animals is to call them the most ridiculous names ever so you get it out of your system so you never name your child something as stupid.

    I've always wanted to get a Dog and Cat and name them Cap and Bucky.

    I always recommend names based on mythology. Since it's a girl, my personal favorite is Athena. However, some others:

    Hera
    Artemis
    Aphrodite
    Demeter
    Hestia
    Freya (okay, Norse, but cool nonetheless)

    since you already have a cat named butters, name this one dougie (butters' friend in south park).

    then you can call them by their evil alter-egos; Professor Chaos and General Disarray.

    Great idea. Or just name the new one Professor Chaos, so that you have both alter-egos of the same character.

    Alright. Thank you all for your suggestions.

    I would have done professor chaos but the other cat isn't mine, its a housemates, and I didn't want to end up with a cat just named Professor Chaos.

    I've decided on Theory. Everyone in the house seems to like it, so I guess its sticking.

    but thanks for the replies everyone.
