I'm still thinking about pet names. I know that it's premature to think about names before I actually get a cat. I'll probably have to match the name to the cat's . . . um . . . personality. But anyway. All the names I've come up with so far are for males. I just can't seem to come up with any good female names. At first I was thinking of Levon, and then I considered Dewayne and Damone, but now I'm thinking about the names of some of my co-workers over the years. There have been some incredibly good ones.

What about Don? Has anyone ever named a cat Don? How about Ernie?

I also thought about going the literary route, but I probably couldn't go through with naming a cat Ignatius or Hazel Motes.

This is a good time for a poll. I'll stick to male names for now and give some more thought to female ones.

[Poll #60012]

And yes, I really worked with people named Wackel, Lonzie, and Abdural.

How about Devon, or maybe Bubba? :)

I'm partial to George or Walter.
They work for girls too.

Yeah, I dig those old-school names! I was sort of thinking about Earnest--that's where Ernie came from. :)

Hey, what about Howard?

[ex-thebellja885.livejournal.com]

Howard is good too....I like Oscar a lot as well.
What about Horatio?

I had 2 cats once. They were named Fartacus and O.C. (Other Cat). Then I had two Siamese cats, Ming and Bing (Brother of Ming).

I like Lonzie. It's like a cross between Lono and the Fonz.

There are just so many possibilities . . . Moe . . . Dolemite . . . Flanda . . .

Horatio rules! I'm having a major deja vu . . . I can remember being about 12 and thinking that Horatio would be an excellent name for a cat . . .

Flanda? Sounds like a cross between Florida and George Blanda.

Yeah, I know! That was another guy I worked with. You have to put a little uh in it -- like Fuh-LAN-duh. MAN, I've known a lot of people with weird names . . .

Speaking of Andy Griffith...

...how about Floyd or Otis?

Re: i voted for lonzie...

Plywood Fender is truly Beautiful!

Wackel and Lonzie are both so fun to say. This is going to be a hard decision!

chaos and entropy are my favorite cat names.

My cat has three names:

The one he came with (Kennedy) and the two he earned (Bitchass, Mr. Fussy Pants).

I tried calling him Armand for a while, that didn't work.

Good luck!

If I had a boy, I'd name it Edward. Totally.

Right now I just have two female cats: Sushi and Bela, my six-month-old tortie who terrorizes everything I own. But she's a sweetheart!

I vote for "Abdural," purely because it's bizarre.
