I need help choosing a name for a cat.

Postby Kiba-kun » Sat Apr 08, 2006 11:46 am

Descrption of the cat: She is mainly black but with bits of red fur. Very affectionat. Currecntly pregnant. Loves to meow and is getting a sore throat from it. Hates my dog.

The list of names are:

Elena
Leah
Asha
Daja
Ashelin
Kaileena

My family (I should say my mother) and I cannot decide on a name for her so I'm asking for your help.

Thanks everyone!

Why must we be abandoned in times of need?
Do others not see when we yearn for their touch;
An insatiable hunger only they can feed.
Left alone with out their words – fallen into darkness.
Stumbling blindly without their light,
We fall and scream, knowing we've faced too much,
Knowing the only answer is flight.
Flight from the lives we once faced
And the joys and terrors others have brought.
Our time with them, a time of joy and life,
Wonder we all, was it for naught?

Congrats on the new kittens! Give the mother-to-be a hug for me, and a pair of your socks to play with as a gift! (Hee hee!)

I picked Daja because...well..it sounds like a good cat's name. It sounds really wild yet elegant and refined!

Out of curiosity (and no, I did not excape from a mental institution, so don't ask!) have you tried asking the CAT what she wants to be named?

We usually name our cats names with only one or two sylables, for sake of ease when calling them, and just talking to/about them in general. I voted for 'Leah' because I like the name. Out of curiousity, would you pronounce it 'lee' or 'lay-a'?

And kittens! X3 Kittens are fun. You'll have to go through a whole other round of name giving, even if you don't keep them all.

Leah, for me, would be pronounced "Lay-a" And I've thought about the names for the kittens but I already know my father won't allow me too keep any (I'd be lucky to keep even one) so I'm going to let the people i'm giving them to choose a name.

And Myoti, THAT'S DOG IN JAPANESE! Personally it is funny but very . . . odd.

Call it.... Kitsune! ^_^; I kid...

OOHH CALL IT POCKY2!!! HAHA OR RAMUNE!!! OR SUSHI OR ONIGIRI!!!

Lol or not...

How about...Layla?


of yours that you have, I like Daja too..(is kinda pronounced like Da-sha?)

Is this the cat that I kept on accidently trying to kill because she is black and she was always in the dumpster behind work? And I kept throwing trash bags on her and she would get mad at me?

If so...why not... Baggy?

Hmmm?

I voted Asha 'cause it reminds by of black. You know, ash... Or something like.

We named our kittens from last August Muppim, Huppim, Ard, and Spurgeon. (See Genesis 46:21)

Personally I like Elena ^-^

Oh and CR-chan, you can wash grown up cats. Sometimes you need too. How to go about it without getting scratched to death...that I dont know, it depends on the cats attitude.

I voted for Asha, because it sounds pretty. XD However, if I were ever to own a cat, I would name it Lynx. Because...I just would. XD

Of the names you listed above, I'm in favor of Asha. But if you don't mind a crazy and off the wall suggestion-- I say name her "Neko." ;) That's what I'm naming the first cat I get on my own.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I suspect that was the point. ;)

Perhaps Nekoyasha?


Funny story - on another forum, someone was asking about pet names (I think it was for a cat, too) - anyway, I suggested a few names, and this person singled one out and posted "THAT'S MY NAME!!!!111oneoneone" (or words to that effect). It was really funny. Well, reading this over, it may be a YHTBT ("You Had To Be There"), but it was funny at the time.
The cake used to be a lie like you, but then it took a portal to the deception core.

My vote goes to the 2-syllable names: Daja/Asha/Leah

Daja reminds me of 'darjah' in the Malay language which means class/level/year used to describe high school students (e.g Year 1 student). But still, I prefer that name over the others.

I voted Leah because it would be the easiest one to remember and easiest ones for friends and other family members to pronounce.
Personally I would go with either Boyou or Kirara!
