5067.0. "Need help nameing new family member" by WISDOM::TAYLOR (I just wanna hanky panky ....) Tue Nov 19 1991 10:57

Well, I was suckered in again.  At the Vermont show, my mother and I were
given another Cornish Rex kitten.  She's TOP show quality.  Her litter-sister
who looks ALMOST identical to her did VERY well at the show.

She's a blue-cream and is absolutely adorable.


But now I'm in the same dilema that I always get into when I get a new kitten.
What do I name her??  So, I'm turning to my feline friends for help.  You
always come up with some great names.

Following are some factors about the cat that COULD POSSIBLY be incorporated
in her name:

She's a blue-cream (imagine dusty blue paint with cream paint swirled into it)
She's a cornish rex (long and gangly, short curly coat)
We got her in Vermont
The breeders are from Fairborn, Ohio
Their names are Fay and Heather Mullins

The cattery is Starstruck.  This MUST be in the beginning of her name.

So get those minds working!!  She needs a name soon as I'm going to enter
her in the Mysticat show in December.

thanks!

5067.1Need a name for a blue-cream cornish rexWISDOM::TAYLORI just wanna hanky panky ....Tue Nov 19 1991 11:024
One other thing that I forgot to mention.  She's a REAL purrpot!!  Purred
during the entire show on Sunday!!

    How about Moonlite - "moonlite in vermont"
5067.3Is Andromeda too big a name for a little cat?ASDG::ANDERSONTue Nov 19 1991 14:2213
    I thought of Milky Way when I read the base note, but Moonlite or
    Moonlight sounds better.  What about Andromeda?  (the name of another
    spiral galaxy, not the on we live in.)  That could be shortened to Andy
    or Maddy or maybe Annie, depending on how much you want to confuse
    strangers about her gender.
    
    Or looking at "Starstruck" another way, what about naming her after a
    movie star with the same color eyes or hair(fur)?
    
    Snoopy took a while getting named; in the end my mother named her,
    based on her personality, not after the cartoon character.

First, Mods, thanks for putting a title to my note. (-:

hmm... I kind of like Andromeda!!  that's kind of neat!!  I'll run it
by my mother.  The cattery already has a Milkyway.

I kind of liked Moonlight in Vermont too.  That's pretty!!  Maybe call
her moony??

Keep them coming folks!!  She needs a name by tomorrow at the very latest!

    Holly, how about "Blue Moon"?  I love the song and I think that it 
    so appropritate for a bluecream!  BTW, I have never met a blucream
    anything that WASN'T a purrbox.  Congratulations on your new addition!
    Another star in our midst?
    
     
5067.6WISDOM::TAYLORI just wanna hanky panky ....Tue Nov 19 1991 15:376
Oh yes, an das far as naming her after someone with the same hair color,
Unfortunately not many people have blue/cream hair.  (Katherine Hepburne maybe?)

heeheehee!!  Just teasing!! (-:

5067.7WISDOM::TAYLORI just wanna hanky panky ....Tue Nov 19 1991 15:389
RE: .5 

Possibly another star in our midst.  Her littersister got best kitten in
one ring on Sunday!!  Did well the entire day!

I love the song blue moon too, but the breeder wants to save that name
for one of the upcoming blue kittens that she has.

Well, it turns out that I will need to name her by Thursday at the very 
latest.  She's an absolute purrpot, but nothing has really stuck as far
as a name goes.  HELP!!!

5067.19WISDOM::TAYLORYou lose if you make me choose!Thu Nov 21 1991 15:4215
oo!!  I like My blue heaven too!  Decisions decisions!!

Lately, she's been called Trouble!!  She's been unbelievable!  Any trouble
she can find, she's getting into!!

How about Starstruck's Trouble from VT???  It fits her personality!!

I got home last night and let her out of the spare bedroom.  First thing she
did when my back was turned was to rip open the bag of chinise food that I 
had brought back from the restaurant!!  

Thisuki is another one we've thought of.  It means "little sh*t".
