We have a D. theme in my house. Poor Deeter Douglas as some may have remembered has never come home, but we have also never found his body, so I am telling myself he is living the good life with a new family somewhere being loved on daily. We also have Dumas Dewayne and Desiray Dawn. So, we wanted to stick with a D name. So we think Duncan Dartanian will be it, although we like Duncan Dashell too.
I like the name Fizgig from the movie the Dark Crystal. Anybody remember? He was a little ball of fluff with a big mouth when he opened wide. I am not going to use it, so if it floats you boat your welcome to it.
So how did your little ones get their names?
Oh, and I am feeding 3 feral cats in my condo complex, due to be fixed on Sunday if I can catch them. The feral cat association of Greensboro is doing a free spay day clinic.
They are all black and white cow kittens:
Charlie, looks like he has a mustache llike Charlie Chaplin (he actually let me pet him today, this is huge!)
Hamilton has a beauty mark like George Hamilton
and Smooshy poor girl, had a smooshed face I think due to a car engine, her face is healed, but the name stuck.
We picked the raggies from the Father which is a spiritual name but changed the spelling. Zeke is actually Ezekial Blayze
Mykah is of course Mykah(Micah) Blayke. Their middle names have to do with the coloring.
Have to go for now as it is bowling time.
Good luck catching them!
My DSH is named Bonkers.. it was appropriate, lol. My raggie Mocha is named for his coloring, and following a theme of drinks. My niece and I thought her kitten might be related to my raggie.. since they were both strays, and she named her baby Kahlua. Since then we have realized that they could not be related, but I love the name Mocha, it suits my guy.
Solo was unnamed for about 2 weeks. His breeder name was Nicky, and we just called him that or "cat". Sometimes we still call him cat to be funny. But the name came up when I was watching tv, there was a documentary on animal planet about a pride of lions and a mother with only one cub. The narrator named him Solo, and I thought "ah hah!" because we were so set on really only wanting ONE cat, this name just seemed perfect.
Don't rush to pick a name, when the right one comes, you will know it!
Lola's name came from my youngest daughter going to live and work in Spain for a summer. While she was there she told me she had the perfect name for her daughter should she ever have one - Lola. Not wanting a grandaughter called Lola I named my new kitten Lola instead. The Belle part of name came from the breeder as she looked up the meaning of the name Lola and found it was spanish and meant full of woe. She didn't want one of her kittens registered with such a sad name so she became Lola-Belle.
Our DSH boy is Mittens. No...not a tough boy name, but he was a gift to our little girl and in true little girl fashion she named him a cutesy name. He...obviously...has mittens and boots. We always joke that she should have named him Boots because he's a cranky old boy and we think it's because he's gone through his life with a 'girls' name. LOL
Our African Gray parrot is Oliver. My husband named him just because he liked the name. No deep meaning there.
Sunny is short for Sunshine which is short for Good Day, Sunshine. Her Mom is Penny Lane, her Dad is Lennon, her brother is Tripper (after Day Tripper) so it seemed only logical to 'go' Beatle. And after Fionas death, we just knew she'd bring so much sunshine into our lives....so Sunny it is.
Theme names are great
We had an "M" theme for a while before our raggies - Meggs (a ginger burmese), Mitsy (a tortie girl with white mittens), and Marmite (a brown burmese, his father was called Promite). We wanted to give our raggies more regal names, so they became Lancelot and Merlin! I love the name Duncan Dartanian, it sounds like one of the three musketeers (or was he the 4th? lol) And with your two (?) other furkitties it fits perfectly with the theme!
My daughter named Boo, actually she called him "Peek-A-Boo", because of his darling little racoon-like "mask" when he was a baby. It was either that or "Zorro"... so I tried to gently steer her towards BOO!!! haha!
Bentley's name was just a cute name that we all liked... plus (even though we really aren't car people) we found a wry sort of humor in the fact that Bentleys are expensive cars and Raggies could be considered (by some) to be fairly "expensive" kitties. My husband laughs that right now our Bentley cost about $250 per pound!!! I told him just wait, as he gets bigger that price per pound will decrease!!!
Mugsy is a seal-point...and my daughter and I thought that the big adult males looked like the "gangster" guys of the cat world. So...we came up with Mugsy. It fits hims perfect in our eyes! Of course, we have various versions of the name such as "Mugs", "Mugsy Ugsy", "Mugster"...and, of course my "fuzzy buddy". LOL! But, we usually call him Mugsy...
Harry Potter theme going on her lol!
