How did your cats get their name

Apologies if this has been done on here, I haven't seen it yet.
Thought it would be interesting to see how your cats got their name. All mine, apart from one permanent and one foster have been named, and as most have been oldies, I have opted not to change their name - although people must have thought I was really unoriginal when I had Ginger and Snowy!! My second cat came without a name, and I wanted to call her Tiger, but my neighbour kept calling her Tigger, so I relented, but she was more of a Tiger!! And my first foster was named by my neighbour, she thought he looked like a Dixie!! I dont know how, he was white with black van markings.

I didn't live here when Matt got Ninja, and didn't meet him until a month later, but Matt told me about his hiding and slinking around and I jokingly called him a Ninja Stealth Cat. It stuck. Matt, of course, denies that I actually named him

My previous cat was Sam, my current cat Cassie.........no particular reason why I called either of them those names......

My first cat got her name cos she was complete nutter and had a death wish.

Molly came to us with her name

Rover was named by the better half, because he's always wanted a cat called Rover. He's always considered himself a dog person. I must say Rover lives up to his name, being quite fond of his walks (meanders) and happy to fetch, chew sticks and do just about all but bark.

Violet - Elderly couple I met on my very first visit to the vets the same night I got Violet. Told them I wanted an old fashioned name - they suggested it! I loved it!

Mau Mau was Mau Mau by its previous owners, she was tagged but they no longer wanted her - thats all I know......so its stayed!

Cleo because it was a lovely name and suited her so much from a kitten till now.

Oscar was first called Flynn but it didn't suit him he stayed called Flynn only for about one night then the name Oscar came to me and suited him to the ground.
