41.0. "It is naming the kittens time again!" by IJSAPL::ANDERSON (Now noting in colour!") Wed Apr 16 1997 15:34

    Ok it looks like all three kittens are going to make it this time.

    So we are looking for the names of British (or International)retail
    chains that begin with a B and are suitable for a female cat.

    So far we have Boots.

    Any other suggestions?

    Jamie.

    Re: Jamie,
    
    Ok, so Barbie isn't a company name, but more people remember Barbie
    than the name of the company that makes her !

41.11IJSAPL::ANDERSONNow noting in colour!"Wed Apr 16 1997 19:0518
    OK our first two cats came from the third litter that their mother had.
    Thus there cattery names began with a C.

    We gave them everyday names which are close to their real names and
    called them Cash & Carry.

    The male we got we called Kroger after the American Supermarket Chain.

    Carry's first litter died, the second aborted so we now have to find
    three names for female cats. 

    Since the mother was part of a famous Wholesale name, we thought Retail
    names would do for the kittens.

    Now Barbi is not the name of a Retail chain, it is the name of a
    doll.

    Jamie,
    	Why not call them then after supermarkets
    
    	1 English for Harry, 1 Scotish for You and 1 Dutch for where you
    	live?
    
    	Tesco, Spar & Konmar are nice and short...
    	(Yeh I know Spar's a bit dodgy but I dunno any Scot chains...)
    
    	Personally I'd call them after Money, Pounds, Shilling and Pence
    	sound good to me.
