I might need help naming my kitten. Had the little dude a week and a half and we can't settle on a name.

Look at that, Yods. You got a whole page of suggestions! Aren't you glad you asked?

Deadite 05-08-12 11:32 AM

You could name him Puppy. Wouldn't that be something?

The Rodent 05-08-12 11:33 AM

I still think Shabba is the way forward.

You can stand on the back porch shouting "Shabba!" when it's time to come in for the night.

'Holla' or 'Yahoo' would work too.

I generally like ideas like this. But I'm also partial to "Pig."

I should name him "Help" or "Fire."

Now that I've seen him, Oscar seems like a good name.

Nausicaä 05-08-12 12:04 PM

Re: What should I name my kitten?
 
Humm for some reason the gemstone Tiger's Eye came into my head because of his lovely eyes, and that made me think of Obsidian and that made me think of Moai/Ahu Tongariki. Therefore, name = Ahu.

I tried... :suspicious::D

Deadite 05-08-12 12:09 PM

Re: What should I name my kitten?
 
Seriously, dude. It's in his eyes: "My name is Oscar."

You don't want him to have psychological developmental problems because you wouldn't listen and stuck him with the wrong name. :(

The Rodent 05-08-12 12:21 PM

Re: What should I name my kitten?
 
Don't call him Oscar, my sisters little rat-of-a-dog-Terrier-Jack Russell-cross is called Oscar.
He's got an intelligence lower than my Budgerigar and just barks at everything, all the time, all day... then pi$$es on the carpet.


Gadget seems to suit him.

Deadite 05-08-12 12:32 PM

Re: What should I name my kitten?
 
(glare)

Gadget is a terrible name. It's dehumanizing... I mean, defelinizing.

Yoda 05-08-12 12:34 PM

Re: What should I name my kitten?
 
I should note that anything which has connotations to things I love is a big plus. For example, our other cat is named Malcolm, after Captain Malcolm Reynolds. This has led my wife to lobby hard for "Simon" for the kitten. Which I like okay but don't love.

It's also disconcertingly important that the name be easy to say.

The Rodent 05-08-12 12:35 PM

Re: What should I name my kitten?
 
Yeah, but Yods could say "Go Go Gadget [insert verb]!" every single time he does anything.

Go Go Gadget Eat!
Go Go Gadget Out!
Go Go Gadget Poop!


etc etc etc :D

Deadite 05-08-12 12:39 PM

Fine. Call him Marsellus.

Yoda 05-08-12 12:42 PM

Ha. I already own a cat name Marsellus! I chose it because he was a total badass. So that's out. But obviously you hit the nail on the head with the thought process.

Other names we've considered:
  • Tuco (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)
  • Angel Eyes (same)
  • Jules (Pulp Fiction)
  • Vincent (same)
  • Stringer Bell (The Wire)
  • Delmar (O Brother, Where Art Thou?)
  • Harpo (Marx Bros.)

Maybe I should name him "NBA In The Zone 98."

Yoda 05-08-12 12:57 PM

Re: What should I name my kitten?
 
Yeah, Tuco's one of the first choices. Harpo's really growing on me, though. Both easy to say; former conveys his mischief (he's a little crazy) and the latter his general ditziness and appearance.

The thing about Angel Eyes, though, is that the character dresses in black and does have pretty piercing eyes. And the kitten does, too. His eyes are kind of ridiculous looking sometimes.

That cat is so cute, I'm really jealous. I'm not allowed to have animals, sadly, so you better name him something cute.

Actually, that last one makes me realize that Fezzik is a pretty freakin' great name.

Ya! Cuz I'm asuming the cat would be like his kid, lol.

Padawan would be cute too. And then whenever people ask you how you gave your kitten the name, you could be like Im training him to be a jedi. lol

Fezzik? Like from the Princess Bride? Had to google that one lol.

Yoda 05-08-12 01:16 PM

Re: What should I name my kitten?
 
Yup.

I actually love Padawan. But Fezzik is pretty freakin' perfect. One of my favorite movies, fun to say, short, suits his personality, and kinda sounds like "fuzzy"--which he most definitely is.

The bar is set. I'll bounce it off the missus. Plenty of other ideas welcome. But there's your standard, people.

The Rodent 05-08-12 01:18 PM

Re: What should I name my kitten?
 
You mean somebody has actually taken something I said seriously?

Must be because of the beer I've been downing all afternoon. I'm telling the missus I need to drink more.

I always thought Fezzik was a gentle giant character so its cute! Hope she likes it!

Re: What should I name my kitten?
 
You can't call him Angel Eyes, no matter how much you like the character. Seriously, picture yourself telling people his name, or calling him. "Here, Angel Eyes!" Nope, just doesn't work.

Frankly, I even had trouble with Mal/Malcolm when he was here. Didn't really know which one he responded to better and kept getting it confused with Mort. LOL

I like Fezzik.

Seems everyone I know is naming something this week. A friend's naming her new car. You're naming your cat. I'm trying to name the guinea pig coming my way this weekend.... (BTW, I'm pretty settled on Orville Redenbacher unless someone comes up with something more awesome, like Fezzik. LOL)

ash_is_the_gal 05-08-12 03:13 PM

I like pets that have two names, like a little person. When I get a cat, depending on the sex, I'm naming it either David Bowie or Emily Bronte

Did your Better Half like Fezzik, Captain Malcolm Reynolds, Blue Steel, Oscar or Padawan or, erm, Capcom Classics Collection Volume One?

Yup, the popcorn guy. Guinea pigs do this happy-dance thing that's called popcorning ... plus, umm, I was eating popcorn last night when I found out he was going to be mine. :)

So yeah, Orville. :)

Malcolm is the name of our other cat already.

I can't, but then, I'm British,

Even so, I still can't name the past ten Prime Ministers in order let alone all of them, so I've got no hope.

Churchill is a good name for a moggy.

Moggy is also a good name for a moggy.

Re: What should I name my kitten?
 
I can also recite the Greek and Hebrew alphabets. That doesn't come in handy very often.

Funny memory: my little league coach when I was, like, 12, got wind of this and was trying to tell someone else about it, and he said "hey, do that think where you say the Japanese alphabet backwards, or whatever." Goodtimes.

The Rodent 05-08-12 05:17 PM

Yoda 04-24-21 12:56 PM

Re: What should I name my kitten?
 
It's funny, I was talking to Courtney about the other day how he was super fluffy as a kitten, a lot less so mostly grown, but then sort of grew back into it. He was like a miniature version of himself at first but had this intermediate period where his fur wasn't nearly as long. He might have been five or six by the time it seemed "full," to the point it is now, but hard to say.

Anyway, he's the best.

Austruck 04-24-21 01:06 PM

Re: What should I name my kitten?
 
I especially appreciate when he "helps" us play board games... by flopping down on the game board. He's fluffy enough that he usually covers the whole board that way.

As if to say, "You're welcome!" :D
