Name the Kitty

[riona]

I'm "adopting" this 4-year-old female (apparently she is a "talker"). Any thoughts on a name - possibly something amusing?

[AccessGranted]

1. My Friend Named His Dog Beyonce

Name the cat after a celebrity you like or don't like. How about one of the oldtime celebrities. When I looked at the cats face I was thinking Marlene Dietrich. Here a Wikipedia link to a pic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlene_Dietrich

Name it Marlene or Dietrich. This actress was famous for her so-called cat-shaped eyes or name the cat Wildenstein after that crazy woman in New York who got her face done over to look like cat. Here's a link.

Okay maybe that's more scary than amusing. Have fun with your kitty.

[riona]

3. Thank you

I'll use those links.

2. She is a beauty!

I am no good with names. Both of mine are named after heavenly bodies. She looks very sweet.

[riona]

5. That thought ran through my mind

but I couldn't think of a chattering heavenly body. She'd blow the image for sure.
:rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Gabby.

Heehee. :hi:

[riona]

6. Good one

There some Siamese in her genes, no doubt. They do like to "communicate."

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Merlin follows me around, warbling, all day long.

He's a talker too! :D

[zanne]

9. That's my cat's name.

She never shuts up. (It's also short for Gabrielle).

[riona]

10. Pretty name

[MissMillie]

21. That's what first came into my mind, but I also like Fanny

but I always try different vowel sounds for different pets, so if you alreay have a pet with a short "a" vowel sound, I would go for something else.

My pets are Millie (short i), Siouxsie (long u) and Cosmo(short and long o)

[riona]

31. She'll be the one and only

Those names are all cute.

[yellowdogintexas]

44. would that be short for Gabor? First thing I thought of when I

looked at the picture was Zsa Zsa and Eva Gabor.

[Deja Q]

8. Pussy Galore

:rofl:

[riona]

12. Now HypnoToad -

She has been "altered." There will be none of that!

[Deja Q]

15. Oy! You've not ever seen "Goldfinger" (James Bond series, 1964)

Just be sure, if you google-image the name, keep Safe Search(tm) turned ON.

[riona]

18. She was altered?

[WoodyTobiasJr]

43. Lady Marmelade

BAH! Wrong spot - Sorry

[LynneSin]

11. When I thought Abbott was a girl I almost named him Eleanor

For Eleanor Roosevelt. I probably though would have called her Ellie

[riona]

13. Boy names seem to be easier

Ellie is nice or maybe even Elle

[LynneSin]

16. Abbott was very difficult

I wanted to name him after Jimmy Page but I had a co-worker with the same name and it seemed weird. I just happen to be reading a biography on Abbie Hoffman so technically his name is Abbie. But Abbie was too cool for a nerd cat like my Abbott and Abbott just seemed to stick with him

[peekaloo]

14. Zza Zza Gab-or

[riona]

17. She does talk too much

- especially when committing a traffic violation.

[displacedtexan]

19. Echo

Echo, in Greek mythology, mountain nymph. She assisted Zeus in one of his amorous adventures by distracting Hera with her chatter. For this Hera made her unable to speak except to repeat another's last words. She fell in love with Narcissus, but when he rejected her, she pined away until only her voice remained.

[riona]

20. Thanks

Sounds appropriate for her.

[libnnc]

22. Ivana. She looks soooo Diva-esque

[riona]

23. Oh boy

a chatterbox diva. I wonder what other surprises I'm in for?

[wildhorses]

24. Prissy...

do you have a better pic?

she is gorgeous BTW

[riona]

26. No - wish I did

I was going to get a kitten and then the bleeding heart liberal thing set in - thought an older kitty was the way to go. This is it for a pic - chose her from a rescue site so haven't seen her yet. Am I brave or what? It'll take some driving to get her.

[NV Whino]

25. Ethel

(after Merman)

[riona]

27. We were thinking of Lucy (from the old TV show)

but that would have been better for an orange cat. Then Ethel Mertz's name came up. I'm going to keep all these in mind - when she's actually here I'll see which fits the best.

[NV Whino]

28. Try them all

She will end up choosing her own name.

She's a beauty, by the way.

[riona]

29. Good suggestion - let her do it.

She is a pretty kitty.

[Callalily]

30. How about Feather! (n/t)

[riona]

32. Her coat colors

do remind me of one.

[Arugula Latte]

33. Aw, she's gorgeous.

Maybe a Lola or a Lulu? :shrug:

[riona]

34. Lulu's cute

She may turn out to be one!

[meegbear]

35. Rebecca

[riona]

39. That's a beautiful name

[meegbear]

42. I think longhairs should have names like that

[Brigid]

36. How about Zha Zha?

She makes me think of one of the Gabor sisters. She's a beautiful cat.

[riona]

38. peekaloo agrees

and added the Gab-or.

[Brigid]

41. Now how did I miss that?

I even looked to see if someone had already suggested that. Anyway, I think it's a perfect name for your pretty new kitty.

[barb162]

37. BEAUTYCAT

[riona]

40. She is beautiful

Probably deserves a name to match. We'll see if she lives up to the talking part of her personality, or the pretty kitty part.

[Skittles]

45. YAK

:rofl:

[amitten]

46. Toonces. n/t

[AtomicKitten]

47. Asa

(Old Norse): Goddess.

Because she certainly looks like one.

[Neoma]

48. Slank.

Meaning: to slink away and hide.

[haf216]

49. I don't have a name

but as a member of a animal rescue group thank you so much for adopting and not buying.

[Monk06]

50. Yuki, Japanese for Snow

[Innoma]

51. I say call the kitty "Kitty"

Sure, you say "lack of imagination," but I counter with "utilitarian," so there!

;)

[BrklynLiberal]

52. She is a beautiful cat. I am sure that once you met her, her name will

become self-evident.

[Haole Girl]

53. What was her name before? If she's 4-years-old

she'd probably like to be called the name she's been called all her life.

[jobycom]

54. Molly Ivins! Something about those eyes and the look of learned disdain

make me think of her!

[Fridays Child]

55. For some reason, she reminds me of a Teletubby.

Very cute! :toast:
