The Cat Naming Game
These two handsome gentlemen will be coming to live with me this upcoming Friday. They don’t yet have names. The announcement of these two facts caused a maelstrom of email, mostly on the subject of naming.
Here are the suggestions I’ve received so far…
- JiJi and Bucky
- Holmes and Watson (or Moriarty, depending on personality)
- Lewis and Clark (if they like to explore the house)
- Jeckyl and Hyde
- Heckle and Jeckyl
- Groucho and Chico (or Harpo)
- Laurel and Hardy
- Monty and Python
- Spam and Spam (face it, you can call cats whatever you want, they only listen selectively-or if food is involved)
- Bela and Boris
- Godzilla and Gamera (depending if they’re destructive)
- Osiris and Sethos (or Horus)
- Doc and Grumpy (or any of the other dwarfs depending on personality)
- Ramses and Tut
- The DOCTOR and Capt. Jack
- Mickey and Donald
- Hades and Apollo (or other Greek gods)
- Caelum and something resembling “bathic”
- Captain Jack and The Face of Boe
- Shaun and Ed
- Rassilon and Omega
- Rassilon and Gallifrey
- Tennant and Baker
- Jayne and Malcolm
- Fezzick and Inigo
- Tron and Sark
- Buckaroo and Bonzai
- Ford and Zaphod
- Porter and Ale
- Hops and Barley
- Cat and Other Cat
- Cat who is this Cat and Cat that is not this Cat
- Cat5 and 10baseT
- Catastrophe and Catharsis
- Basement Cat and Minion
