We want to keep his name as close to Zelda as possible, to avoid confusion for him. My son likes Zeldy, but I thought we could present him with some other options...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. I'd just leave it Zelda

If my mom can have a boy cat named "Cuddles," Zelda is nothing.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

2. That's why I was thinking we could just change the spelling ...

to Zelduh. So it reflects on us, not him. :D

[Parche]

3. Zanti Misfit

:woohoo: :hi: :hug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

5. Ya lost me...

:blush:

[DS1]

4. Spray paint him white and call him Dick

because Penis would be too obvious


HA HA!

I slay me

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. With a last name of

Balless?

[DS1]

7. Sure

or

Strayfuckers, Inc.

[KamaAina]

8. Zenda

see under Prisoner Of....

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. Ooo...One of my favorite movies!

:thumbsup:

[LoveMyCali]

10. It doesn't matter

he's a cat, he won't answer you anyway. :rofl:

[SoCalDem]

11. and most cat people give their kitties multiple names..and the cats know them all

Starvin' Marvin is also:

babykitty
where's-my-baby-boy
babyboy
marvie
marvinator

and Sarah (the world's neediest cat) comes to ALL the other cat's names..and she's the fastest, so she gets there FIRST...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. That's true...

Usually when I call them, I call them by their given names, though. It's when they're sitting in my lap that I gush their nicknames.

[LoveMyCali]

15. I have several names for Cali also

Actually Cali is a nickname, his real name is California (I didn't name him), so there's

Cali
Cal
Cali Bo Bali
Cali Baba and the 40 fleas
Baba
Baa
Buddy

and yet the only time he runs to me when I call him is if I'm standing by his dish.

[SoCalDem]

16. Marvin comes running whenever I even whisper one of his names..

He can be MIA, and all I have to do is call him, and he comes running..even when I don't "want" him.. He's my babyboy..and he's a Momma's boy :) He's from my first bottle-fed litter and he's only known me as mom:)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. Cali Baba and the 40 fleas...

:rofl:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. He does, though...

Oddly enough. :hi:

[trof]

13. Lemme 'splain sumthin'...OK?

The cat don't know.
Not only that, he don't care.
You can name him Lollybeth Prissyfrock and it won't matter a whit to him.
He'll ignore you anyway.
;-)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. I kind of like Lollybeth Prissyfrock

I'd look awfully silly calling him though. :rofl:

[trof]

20. I actually knew a girl named Lollybeth.

I made up the Prissyfrock part.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. My grandmother, who was from Alabama

had a sister named Lallie. I'm not sure if it was short for anything; but I always thought she must have been a woman that nobody took seriously.

[geardaddy]

17. Zeow-da.

:D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. LOL

Poor disemballed kitty.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. 3 votes for my favorite...Zeldar

Sounds like someone from the planet Remulac. :)

[applegrove]

24. Zach

[GoddessOfGuinness]

27. Nice thought, but

we've got Zachs in the family. :hi:

[SOteric]

25. Prince.

Go with what he knows. :7

[GoddessOfGuinness]

28. He hasn't really warmed up to me since he got fixed...

not that I really blame him. Maybe I need to call him Mommy's little prince... :rofl:

[DeepBlueC]

26. Zeldon

sounds boyish...easy enough to bawl out

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. "Zeldon! Stop pissing on my clean clothes!"

Yup, that works. :rofl:

[DeepBlueC]

33. especially if you accent the last syllable when you are annoyed

So ZEL-don is the good boy name, zel-DONE the miscreant name

[ghostsofgiants]

30. Link.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

34. Link passed away about a year and a half ago...

He was a big black panther-like kitty, and a real sweetie....sorely missed.

[Jamastiene]

31. Zelda is fine.

I had a girl cat named Simon years ago. Not Simone...Simon. She was a great cat and didn't seem to have any kind of lasting damage from having a name normally associated with boys. :shrug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

35. Isn't it odd that we view it perfectly acceptable

for a girl to be named Ashley or Charlie, but the thought of a guy named Belinda or Carmen would make people cringe.

Same thing with clothes...

[Lil Missy]

32. Zorro.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

37. That'd be a good name for a slasher cat...

[Zavulon]

36. Zavulon.

Actually, just go with "Cat." Your kitty won't obey commands or come when you call, so "Cat" should be good enough.

You can tell people it's short for Catherine. :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

38. I like it...

But what does Zavulon mean?

Cat would be alright, but my son had an ex named Cat. Never liked her....

[Zavulon]

45. Zavulon is the main bad guy in the Russian movies "Night Watch" and "Day Watch."

My sig line is a quote from him in Night Watch, as he refers to the movie's main character:

[soleiri]

39. Željko!!!

call him zelly.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. Is that Czech?

I'd love to know how it's pronounced! :)

[soleiri]

44. Zhel-ko

It’s the only Zel name I know besides Zell. As in the actor, Zeljko Ivanek. It’s Slavic, I think.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. BattleCat....Zeldimus Prime...Zeldimice.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

42. My son would like Zeldimus Prime...

That may become a nickname!

[amitten]

43. Toonces. n/t

[jobycom]

46. Zeldo! Or, as you say, Zel-DOH.

Sounds like the masculine of Zelda and a private joke about the mistaken identity bit. :rofl:

[Why Syzygy]

47. Zolar . or Zulu

That happened to us when we had the prettiest little kitty named "Dolly".
When we found out, we changed his name to "Doolie".

[wickerwoman]

48. Link?

Isn't that the name of the hero in "The Legend of Zelda" Nintendo game?

[Mollis]

49. My cat's name is Blossom.

He's a boy. They told us he was a girl, but when we took him to get fixed...you know the rest...lol
