4494.0. "Name the babes!" by KERNEL::CLATWORTHY () Thu Mar 28 1991 14:23

    
    Hi there,
    	I have just discovered this conference & have just finished reading
    all the notes about naming kittens. I'm still stuck though & hope the
    response to my note will be as good as the previous ones.
    
    My two new pals will be moving in on 20th April. One is varying shades
    of grey & the other, tabby & they are brother & sister.
    
    What I'd like to do is have a list of possible names & see which best
    suits them or let my daughter, Jade, make the final decision.
    
    So far I like: Smokey & the bandit
    	           Bonnie & Clyde
    		   Hunky & Dory
    
    Thanks & regards
    
    Liz

    Just re-read the basenote.
    
    I don't know how old your daughter is - but if she is young enough to
    like the Mutant Ninja Turtles....isn't there Micheangelo and others?
    I was impressed to know that some of their names were after famous
    artists.  Culture is in there somehow....

    A friend with a pair of littermates found that one was always
    adventurous, and the first to attempt something, and the other was 
    definitely a follower - so they became...  Sooner & Later
    
    Linda
4494.10CSSE::MANDERSONThu Mar 28 1991 16:2510
    Ahhh, I like 'sooner or later'!  Very original.
    
    Now, when I get a new baby why can't I think up these names? 
    
    Actually - my next baby is going to be an all white female (long
    haired) and I already have her named.  Just waiting for my daughter
    to move out!!!    ;*)

4494.19I like BAM-BAMTYGON::WILDEwhy am I not yet a dragon?Fri Mar 29 1991 17:143
for some reason, I LOVE the idea of naming a kitten BAM-BAM....maybe it's
just because Mandycat is going through her kitten "terrible twos" where she
is slamming cabinet doors at night....
4494.20WR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JOset home/cat_max=infinityFri Mar 29 1991 17:305

    If you're astronomically inclined... there's Castor and Pollux
    (the twins in Gemini).  My wife was an astronomy major, and 
    that's what we named our pair of chinchillas.

    penny, I've got this theory.  If they  had gotten married then he would
    have shot her, her fifteen year old boyfriend would have shot him, and
    we'd only have to suffer through one movie! (-:
    
    Yeah, I suppose you're right.  These kitties are NICE purrpots! (-:
    
    hmmm... Abbott and Costello

    Hi again,
    	    Well, they're here! They've arrived! They're wonderful!
    Thanks to everyone who suggested names for them & a special 
    thanks to the person who suggested the names we chose.........
    PEBBLES & BAM BAM!
    
    As soon as it was suggested I knew Jade would love it & the names
    really suit the baby's. Bam Bam looks as though he'll be a really
    big boy & seems quite tough & cool & pretty with it. Pebbles is 
    the cuddly one & drives him crazy! What a pair!
    
    Regards
