Names

Octane (Humayun) · #1 23-01-2006, 04:00 PM

Hi all,

I need some assistance coming up with some names for two Tonkinese kittens I'll be picking up in the first week of March.

The breeder needs to know the names by Wednesday in order to register them.

Obviously, I want astronomical-based names.

The cat I already have is called Orion. However, everyone in the family calls him Pippen for some stupid reason.

I'm getting a blue mink female and a natural point male as you can see below.

Any suggestions? I was thinking of perhaps Star for the female and Cosmo for the male? What about male and female star names, or constellations? Suggestions, please!

Thanks!

Regards,
Humayun

Good start, guys.

I am a big fan of the Pleiades, as well, and they're all female, yeah?

Maia, Taygeta, Merope, Alcyone, Electra, Asterope and Celaeno.

Yep, I've memorised them!

Keep them coming along.

Humayun

How about Jupiter for the male, and Venus for the female good old planetary names.

How about BLUDGER1 and BLUDGER2 - don't get me wrong, I love my cat, but that is exactly what she is - her name is obviously - BLUDGER.

Castor and Pollux.
I know that they are both male names, but I'm sure they won't know the difference.

I'm not to far from you either, Castle Hill.

Cheers Paul

p.s Sorry I can't help you with the names, I new at this, but I'm sure you're in good hands.

Careful... Isis is female, try Osiris if you're going that way for the male cat if you don't want to be clawed to ribbons

Hmm. That's a set - Osiris and Isis.

I had 4 Siamese, all named after Australian fast bowlers. Lillee, Lawson, Larwood (Not Australian) and Lindwall. I know alliteration, or is it illiteration was the go. Sorry to go off at a tangent. At least if you had a dog, you could call it Pluto or Uranus as they love that sort of sniffing, if you get what I mean.
