I hate sports but was very unpopular introducing cat number 2 so let him choose the name. The cat lasted longer than the boyfriend!

Funny! I rather doubt I'll ever have a neighbor named Tiggles, however. Do you ever call Oliver Ollie?

Re: Cats names


Well, Luke has Maxwell, William, Clementine, and before, Elsa and Bella, so 80% two syllable. Mattde has Marmalade and Myrtle, 50-50. Phil has Bramble, Paddy and Murphy, 100% two syllable. Darky has Honey and Spike, another 50 -50. Statistically that's too small a sample to mean anything. Steph has Cleo, 100% two syllable. Have I forgotten any of our male members?
