How did you name your cat(s)?

[HappyKatz]

Just thought it would be fun to see how everyone came to name their cute kitties

Sliver: She got her name because she has a white sliver on one of her eyes.
Snowball: His previous name was Orion but as soon as we seen him,
the name just came to us, like that is what we should name him!
Sage: He has a really mellow purrsonality & the name just seemed to fit.
Sushie: We have always wanted to name a cat Sushie & she fit it purrfectly.
Spooky: When she was a kitten, we named her Sugar until we found out she
wasn't that sweet. She is now, but she gets spooked around people.
Spici: She got her name all because of her purrsonality, shes a wild one!
Shilo: She is a shy girl whos always creeping low to the ground to surprise other kitties.
Sadee: Always thought this name sounded sweet.
As soon as we found out her adorable purrsonality, that was her name!
Sasha: Her previous name was Cortana, but she had to have an "S" name to
properly fit in with our kitty family. We had her name picked out within the first few days.

Naming a cat is so much fun! Most of their names just fit & had to do with their purrsonalities Look forward to seeing how you named your cats!!

Honey: Three reasons. I love honey, I love Royal Jelly and also because it partly comes from a character in a manga/anime that I love.

When I bought Merlin home, he was actually called Brockley - which I believe was where he was born. He was with me quite a while until he told me what his real name was!

Simple really, all our cats had to have names connected with our favourite football team lol.

When Imogen was born, by C-section, I had to give her oxygen therapy for nearly an hour before she came round. The other nurses (who knew she was going to be my baby) joked that I shuld call her Oxy, short for Oxygen!
I wasn't convinced, Oxy reminded me of spot cream! Then one of them suggested Imogen, I researched it and found it was the name of a princess in a Shakespeare play and it all seemed to fit! She is a princess after all.

C-Fur = C for Cat

Purrdie = Cause she could Purr for Scotland

Caspurr = Again he had a good Pur and took ages to colour up

Abi I just liked the name.

Scamper, the ginger tom I grew up with; named by me at age 6 because that's what he did as a kitten. Unfortunate choice, as he turned out to be a very large dignified cat whose name definitely did not suit,,

Su-ling, seal point Siamese: named after a character in a book I was reading

Sultan, Aby: because he was incredibly regal in bearing even as a small kitten,,,suited him perfectly!

Misty, blue torbie: name suggested by a friend when I was trying to think of one, and I liked it

Dandy, Singapura: I was trying to find a Chinese/Malay name to reflect the origin of his breed; it occurred to me he was born right here in the USA in Massachussetts, hence a real Yankee Doodle Dandy!

Patches, brindled tortie: named when I rehomed her

Leia, blue torbie: named when I rehomed her

Onyx, moggy: because she was black! Not very original!

Two cat names I like and hope to use some day: Tiggles and Taz!
