What would YOU name a black one-eyed female cat??

[alittlelark]

'Prozacnation' is fostering one. She was dropped off at the Shelter w/ no name. She needs one, and we have yet to find a good one.... Suggestions....

[candy]

1. Winky?

[alittlelark]

11. I'll tell her

[achtung_circus]

2. Billy,

rather than the more likely name of "Lucky".

[alittlelark]

12. Lucky seems pretty cool!

[Left Is Write]

3. Fiona.

After Lyle Lovett's one-eyed Fiona.

[alittlelark]

13. It's on the list!

[Dufaeth]

4. Anne Bonny

The famous female pirate! :) Yearr!

[CO Liberal]

5. Popeye?

Or Peep? or Ida????

[alittlelark]

14. But it's a GIRL !!!!!

[Spinzonner]

6. Matey

[alittlelark]

15. Cute name, prozacnation almost named one of her kids that!

[alittlelark]

43. I saw that as Maddie... uh, she wasn't going to name one 'matey'!!!

[khashka]

7. Major Tom

For a whole variety of reasons...

Khash.

[alittlelark]

17. How about 'Majorette Tomasita'

[khashka]

68. Cute, I'll give you that

But cats are rarely aware that their name doesn't fit their gender.

I had a cat named Roxanne. I kept the name even when I figured out he was a boy. He didn't know he had a girl's name and I didn't tell him.

Khash.

[Ladyhawk]

8. Black-eyed Pea. :)

[alittlelark]

18. Prozacnation likes that one.

[alittlelark]

20. I'm on the phone w/ her now... and she's too comfortable

to discard book and post.

[enigmatic]

9. Wanda

Don't ask why, just name her Wanda :)

[alittlelark]

21. Thius far Wanda and Mattie are on the top of list.

[Straight Shooter]

10. Iris

One eye, one iris. x(

[alittlelark]

24. Prozacnation is thinkin' that name ROCKS!!!!

[Floogeldy]

16. Cyclopsita

;)

[alittlelark]

25. She is telling me she would never be adopted w/ that name!!!

....but perhaps she is wrong.

[Floogeldy]

31. Who is telling you that?

The cat?

[alittlelark]

44. 'prozacnation', who owns the kitty at this point.

She is the one who will be going to the adoption fairs w/ the beastie.

[Floogeldy]

58. I consider my judgment superior,

But it is up to somebody else, I guess.

[alittlelark]

60. We all have our own opinions..... Argue your point (I think it is good)

when prozacnation arises from her slumber she may be ' all over that one'.

[Floogeldy]

65. Well,

We all know who Cyclops was, or is, or whatever. Or will be. Or was a character. I saw him in the movies and he was really tough. And why was he so tough?

Well, first, he was a giant. Okay, okay, I know that sweet little kitty is not a giant, size-wise. But here she is. Alive. With one eye. She has no depth perception.

She has got to be tough, just like the big man. She has got to think of herself as a giant, to survive. She has got to develop her other senses to compensate for the loss of an eye.

She can't be trusting of all other animals (maybe some), who will probably trick her by sneaking up outside of her peripheral vision.

Let her think of herself as a giant that rules the world, somewhat scorning it, and asserting herself as if she is the Cyclops. She needs that kind of attitude, perhaps, to survive.

The "ita" part is just a Spanish language thing because she is smaller than the actual Cyclops.

Give her this one chance. Bestow upon her this namesake.

And she will truly be a wonderful cat.

Thanks,

Floog

[alittlelark]

69. Thank you...

she is sweet and gentle... but as a CAT, she has the qualities you are espousing! She was born this way, .... (and I still like your name).

[Mend]

19. Jacquie

Neither of us do.

[Mend]

[hickman1937]

23. Grateful. Gracie for short.

[alittlelark]

37. 'Iris Fatima' is the name prozacnation is leaning towards.

Thanks for all the input!

[Dufaeth]

41. That's a good pairing of names. eom

.

[alittlelark]

46. prozacnation would thank you if she was awake.

[democracyindanger]

29. Sammi

after Sammy Davis Jr.

[Dufaeth]

32. Euryale, Stheno , Medusa

According to some myths they all shared one eye.

[alittlelark]

42. Cool!!! I'll search for stuff in the AM!!!

[jus_the_facts]

35. Black Eye'd Suzi....

...bless her heart. :)

[alittlelark]

38. She was thinkin' 'iris fatima'' but your name is great too!

I'll tell her when she wakes up. That name is great.

[jus_the_facts]

45. Thanks....sure hope the little girl finds a good home....

.....my little ones were strays...they appreciate havin' a home and I just don't know what I ever did without 'em. :hi:

[alittlelark]

51. She WILL find a good home!!!

[Wickerman]

36. Gretta is my favorite cat name

though the one I gave it to was a very challenging kitty. She did have a lot of poise. One would think a one-eyed black cat will have much poise, too.

[oxymoron]

39. Linda

[alittlelark]

47. .... because she is so beautiful? .... she is.

[oxymoron]

48. I don't know

It just cracks me up. I have a cat named Vivian. I'm weird. :crazy:

[alittlelark]

50. Weird is good!!

[Jack Rabbit]

49. Justice

!!

[alittlelark]

52. That is actually a very good name.

The ? is how many would 'get it'. Those that do would be the best owners....

[countmyvote4real]

53. Cassandra. eom

[lies and propaganda]

54. Desdemona ....n/t

[Capn Sunshine]

55. Spot

[alittlelark]

67. I have a cat named 'Spot'!!!

61. That is TOO cute!!!!

[nytemare]

57. Cyclopsia

On edit: I didn't read the other posts, I see a name much like this, nevah mind !

[alittlelark]

62. Thanks anyway!

[nytemare]

64. Maybe Morticia?

I always liked the Addams Family

[alittlelark]

66. That name is, in my opinion, in the top 1-2.

Great name!!!!:loveya:

[nytemare]

70. Good name for a black cat

I don't think you could name a dog Morticia. Pugsley, yes.

[TahitiNut]

59. Samantha Davis, Jr.

:shrug: Seems obvious. (Samantha from 'Bewitched' and the rest is obvious, too.)

[alittlelark]

63. She has a foster cat named 'Samantha' who gave birth to 4 kittens....

it might get confusing.... but I love the idea!

[TrogL]

71. Cat
