When my brother and his wife were courting, they bought two kittens. A boy and a girl and named them for each other's middle names: Frank and Beth. Unfortunately Beth had been incorrectly sexed and had to have a name change. So they ended up with Frank and Bert.

Kaboodle.
Or name the kitten with the sound of a can opener operating to guarantee s/he will come when called.

We named our black cat 'shadow'. We named our rag doll cat 'dolly'. We named the runt of the litter 'skinny'. We had a peach face called 'peachy'.
I guess you can see where I'm going with this right?

I never know what I will name a pet until I meet them.
Gainesboro Thomas Hall was named because he is the Blue Boy (dark gray, and I took license with the spelling of Thomas Gainsboro. Taj Ma Hall was so named because she is part stripe/part calico and has an orange dot on her forehead. Madison Toto Hall was so named because when he followed us home (Toto) I remarked he was scraggly and needed some medicine (ex thought I said Madison.) Toonces Riley Hall was so named because at the time, Toonces was all the rage and Riley goes well with Toonces.

We had a Black Angus Steer that my ex wanted to call Nigger, but he decided on Nugget instead. I would call her "Jedda" , mainly because the story of a little aboriginal girl called Jedda, who was raised by a white cattle station wife when her own mother died during childbirth. |
