How did you names your?


I know its probably been done bfore, but i thought i would start a new thread for all the newer members
so i was wondering how and why did you gives your cats the names they have?

Clementine as when she was a little she was a very blotchy tortie and ginger parts reminded me of those little oranges things that you get, clementines

Elsa, well twas a toss up between Elsa, Hattie and Mystic. but as soon as she came home i knew Elsa was to be named Elsa. She has the heart of a lion, she may be titchums but if Clementine our one of the dogs do something to peeve her off she gives them a good swat and hiss, she has the braveness of a lion, thus Elsa as in the lion from Born Free

I let my OH name our cats because he had never had any pets before so he named them: Lao Tzu, Confucious, Professor and Mencius - he is a Tai Chi teacher and that is where he got his inspiration from

Re: How did you names your?


I love Emm's cat's names too!

My cats:

Baliero (Balie) = hubby's favourite song is Bailero (subtle difference in spelling), from Songs of the Auvergne. Balie is named after that.

Firenza (Fifi) = named after the most beautiful city on earth coz she's a beautiful, chic kitty

Darcy = originally called Dusty. I didn't feel that suited him (apart form the fact he looks like a big fluffy duster ). I didn't want to change it outright so Darcy is close enough to Dusty not to confuse the little mite!!

Gismo was named by the kids I taught how to ride when working in a stable years ago. They held a competition and voted for names for her

I let them decide as I had no better suggestions myself and called her cat
