4179.0. "Looking for help naming an all white kitty!" by ICS::GERRY (Home is where the Cat is) Wed Nov 14 1990 13:37

    Okay, I'm at a loss here, and I know that all you folks have GREAT
    ideas for names, so I'm throwing this one out.
    
    I have an adorable little 4 month old female kitten that needs a name. 
    I always seem to have this problem with naming white kitties, so I'm
    asking for help.
    
    I usually like to name my cats either something that reflects on one of
    the parents names, or use a song title of some sort.  That's where
    DWeeBs (Dirty White Boy) came from.
    
    So, This little kittens parents are:
    
    Dad: Cattyshack's Tiger Stripes
    Mom: Dreamstreet Open Sesame of Marsamis
    
    So, Any ideas?
    
    thanks
    cin
    
    Oops, forgot to mention that this is an all white kitten!

4179.1we failed...SANFAN::BALZERMAWed Nov 14 1990 13:417
    
    Cin, we tried to come up with a name last weekend, but to no avail. 
    I'm not going to mention any names, but SOMEONE thought that it was
    pretty funny that we were trying to incorporate Tiger Stripes into
    a name for an all white baby girl....
    
    
4179.2Hey, I thought it was a great name!WR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JOset home/cat_max=infinityWed Nov 14 1990 13:4811
    Ya, she isn't mentioning any names, but I guess we all know who thought
    it odd to name a solid kitten with a Stipe name.
    
    So, I guess this means that the name I thought of wasn't good, huh
    Marlene??
    
    I liked Cattyshack's Stripteaze.  ;^)  Or you can play with it and make
    it Stripeteaze, since we all know that she doesn't show stripes, but is
    hiding them under her dominant white coat!
    
    Jo
4179.3Stripe-less or Stripe-lees?TPMARY::TAMIRACMS design while-u-waitWed Nov 14 1990 14:147
How about Stripeless, a little variation on Stripees??  If she looks like
DWeeBs, how about DWeeGs?  I'm not too original with my guys, either.
Mikey got his name because he wouldn't eat most of the different food
I gave him except for Iams (He likes it!  Hey, Mikey!).  Biff got his name
cause the first thing he did to me was sock me in the nose.

Mary
4179.4So, she's an erotic shorthair!ICS::GERRYHome is where the Cat isWed Nov 14 1990 14:468
    Hey, I actually like Stripetease!  It's pretty fitting for an exotic,
    but, let's keep the ideas coming!
    
    The only thing I was able to come up with (Besides DWeeGs, Mary!) was
    Ghost Stripes.  But, it just didn't seem to have it!

	Cin, is this the little white kitten you had at Salem?  If so,
	she's a little cutie!

	I'm not really good at names either, but isn't there some type
	of all-white tiger?  Can't think of what it's called now - all
	my synapses are misfiring at once :^}

    you when I get home tonite.  My reference library is a little slim
    here!  By the way,  white names will be my forte', soon, I hope!!!
    I have placed the little rubster in a cage in the small room with
    arthur with the light on all the time.  Poor arthur, he is terrified of
    the little witch!  He tries to run out every time you open the door.  A
    positive is that she is EXTREMELY friendly now, not sure it is caused
    by her captivity or IT'S ALMOST TIME!!!

4179.27More name help neededWR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JOset home/cat_max=infinityThu Nov 15 1990 12:2621
    Boy, you guys are good!!  I could use help naming the Limoges kittens
    too.  I usually use song titles, and band names.  These kittens must be
    named using an N since they were born in 90.  I have already used up my
    best two names, Mysinhs Night Moves (Bob Seger), and Mysinhs Night On
    The Town (Bruce Hornsby).
    
    The father's name is Mysinhs Moody Blue
    The mother's name is Pleasantview's Limoges of Mysinhs
    
    The Pleasantview cattery uses names of antique glass or crystal when
    naming their cats.  That breeder has offered me some of her names, like
    Noritake, Netsuke, Normandie, Newport... none of these seem right.
    
    I have a blue girl and a seal girl to name.  Could use some help.
    
    Mysinhs Nights in White Satin??
    
    (wish I had thought of Material Girl in the M year. Darn!)

    The naming of cats is a wonderful thing!  When named Stinky (Majula's
    Full Sienna Moon)aka Shin Khann, I used what I considered to be
    Oriental (moon) and colors (sienna is a dark brown, He's a chestnut)
    becuase I majored in art.  Shin Khann was a warrior and I forget the
    rest about this personage, but he was famous in Zen stuff.
    
    I used to associate names with mythology too. Astraea was my dog.  I am
    a virgo.  Her name was that of a goddess who was placed upon the earth
    to bless all mortals (me).  When the Golden Age of mythology was over
    she was placed in the heavens as the constellation Virgo!
    
    end of blurb!

     I really like em all..
    E.T. how about something with the word Honey in it,, given
    their colors,, and the time of year they were born..

    How about "White Lightning"!  or if you want to stick to a song
    "White Lightning and Wine" which was a Heart Song.
    
    And for the little EmaX girl, I think "Greased Lightning" might
    be appropriate considering how fast mom can move.

    When stuck do what a friend of mine did.  After a lengthy argument with
    his sig. other, he suggested they name the cat with the first name they 
    both saw from their car, on route 128 (I think); a name HAD to be chosen 
    before they reached their distination--Mary agreed.  The cat got its name, 
    however, Andy says he feels a bit of a fool calling out Worcester Gear
    Works! Worcester Gear Works! from the back door every evening.
    
    On the other hand, I think the name Worcester suits the cat to a tee.

4179.43SANDY::FRASERMonsters remonstrated...Fri Nov 16 1990 10:3010
	Jo - Andy thought of a couple of 'N' names for you -

	Song title - "Never on Sunday"

	The other is an Arabian term of endearment which means something
	like 'little one'.  It's 'Nusse' (pronounced 'noussa').  It's
	also German for 'nut'.

    Nancy,
    
    I was going to suggest Cattyshack's White Lightning but couldn't
    because I would hurt MY White Lightning's feelings.  She figures she
    should be the *only cat* with that name.
    
    Thanks for suggesting it in my place....

    Sandi,  I think we should forget about "white lightening".  Ruby's dad
    is Legg's White Lightening.  Seems to really be popular!  Now we need
    to start something new!

4179.59Thanks for the help naming my N kittensWR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JOset home/cat_max=infinityMon Nov 26 1990 16:199
    I just want to thank the noter that offered me the name Mysinhs No
    Surrender (a Bruce Springsteen song).  Not only is it a terrific N
    name, and nice song name, but it is also very appropo considering all
    that has happened in the last week.
    
    I have decided to name the blue baby Mysinhs Nights in White Satin in
    honor of her father, Mysinhs Moody Blue.

    Well, so far I like StripeTease the best, but I'm still unsure,
    so until I know for sure, I just call her "kitten"!
    
    I don't know why I have more trouble naming white kittens than any
    other colors!
    
    Jo, loved the names you chose...your right, very appropriate.

4179.61Nosferatu??WR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JOset home/cat_max=infinityWed Dec 26 1990 19:209
    I need more help naming a kitten.  I may be getting a new stud cat, he
    is currently only about a month old.  Anyway, he was born in 90 so
    will need a good N name.  I was in the Movies conference and saw a
    movie titled "Nosferatu".  Does anyone know anything about this movie.
    From the conversation it appears to be a movie about Vampires.  Does
    anyone know the origin of the word?  I like it but want to be sure that
    it is appropriate to use as a name.
    
    Jo
4179.62HAMPS::PATTISON_MThen, as if by magic, it crashed!Thu Dec 27 1990 05:015
    Nosferatu was a pretty horrible and VERY ugly chap, I wouldn't like to be 
    named after him. I think the origin of the name is middle european
    (German,polish or something similar).
    
    M.
4179.63How 'bout NostradamusSTAR::BARTHDream until your dream comes trueThu Dec 27 1990 12:418
    Yes, as I recall Nosferatu was an extremely ugly blood sucking vampire.
    Not a pleasant chap at all.  There's another, similar name that has a
    nicer connotation.  Nostradamus.  He was some guy before the 1800's,
    who apparently prophesied a bunch of stuff like Kennedy's assassination.  
    I don't know much about him, but at least he didn't suck blood for a 
    living.
    
    Karen.
4179.64Napier or NansenSTAR::BARTHDream until your dream comes trueThu Dec 27 1990 13:007
    Just looked up Nostradamus.  He lived from 1503-1566, and was a 
    French astrologer and physician.
    
    Other "N" names include Napier, a Scottish mathematician who lived 
    from 1550-1617, and Nansen, an Arctic explorer from Norway who 
    lived from 1861-1930.

4179.67Boy, I could have made a terrible errorWR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JOset home/cat_max=infinityThu Dec 27 1990 15:5015
    Thanks for the information.  I am an Ann Rice fan and her vampires are
    kind of nice guys.  :^)  I thought maybe Nosferatu was the same way.
    Anyway, glad to know that the name would have bad connotations *before*
    I put it on the registration papers.
    
    Thanks also for the name suggestions.  There were several that I liked
    in the lists.  Will have to check the Birman newsletters and see if
    they have been used already.  That is the problem when you have a whole
    breed using the same letter to name their cats.  You end up with lots
    of duplication.  I like to try to use a name that no one else has used
    or thought of.
    
    Thanks again.
    
    Jo
