Beta members help wanted : Name that cat !

Post by In_Gabriel_We_Trust »

A mere couple of weeks after babysitting Uende's lovely cats, Fate knocked.
(I know knocking is supposed to be Opportunity's trademark but I am told there was a hostile takeover).

Through a series of (un)fortunate events, a dirty, wet, smelly drifting little ball of fur found its way to Uende.
Anyone who knows Uende, knows there was no chance in heck she was going to put the little fluff back onto the mean streets.

But unfortunately, she doesn't have the space to take it in either and it caused some friction with her other lovely cats.
And so it came to pass I would take care of the poor thingie.

However, because this is all a little unexpected, I have had no time to think about a proper name for my new flatmate.
Worse even, I'm drawing a complete blank.

So this is where you all come in. Can you please help me find the proper moniker?
I cannot guarantee to actually choose a name you come up with, but it may be the stepstone to purrfection. Ha! Get it? ... *groan*

Stats.
It is a "she", is 12 weeks old and weighs in at 2.8 lbs.
Her type... brand... series... model...I don't know what it's supposed to be called for cats!
Anyhoo, she's a Maine-Coon and she has fuzzy ears and paws and she is currently playing with my (dirty) sweatsocks.. while I'm wearing them.


Guidelines.
Of course there are some guidelines to choosing a name.
If there weren't it would be too easy, non?

ONE: It needs to be a proper name.
So no "Fuzzytail", "Furrball" or "Whiskerscutyboots"

TWO: No "felinisation" of human names.
I refuse to name her along the lines of "Jennipurr Anniston" or "Condoscratchya Rice".
(Although I have to admit that, if she'd been male, "Jude Claw" would have been a contender.)

THREE: Just like everyone else on the forum, I'm into anime and asian culture (as well as a few others).
I have no problem whatsoever with a name in that area but let's not get carried away.
Because I can't go around yelling: "Sakuhurukonishatsu Bokyuareitoshikunji! Dinner!"

Anything else is fair game, so if you feel like it, don't hesitate to give it a go.


Prizes.
No real prizes but you'll have the satisfaction I'll know what to scream when the little tyke goes Wolverine on my chest for not waking up quick enough to get her breakfast.

Thanks in advance everyone. :^^:

How about Leila. Inspired by the VHD Bloodlust character; it's a very pretty name.
Elf is also cute, based on the anime design company.

Congrats on the new addition Gabe.

The easy name would be Buyo from Inu Yasha which you are currently using as your avatar.

The Pic link is not working but when I get a look at her I might be able to come up with a name better fiting her.

Awww.... drat! :O

Double drat! :l But.. you could call her "Saku" for short! Or maybe even "Din-din". Ahd I'm sure, after enough practice, that name would just roll right off your tongue. :D

/hmm

You could call her.. Maigo. (Which is Japanese for stray...) :shrug

But.. Maigo sounds too masculine so change the -go to -ko for Maiko. But.. then it would sound like you're calling the cat "Mike" so... maybe change the Mai- to Mei for Meiko! You could call her "May-may" for short! :rollin
The easy name would be Buyo from Inu Yasha which you are currently using as your avatar.
Or you could do that too! I like JWR's suggestion. :D

It's not profitable to speak in hypothetical terms.

In that case, I will only spare you some change if I can get a percentage of the profits, Cloud. :P

Awww, such a cutie! My cat is a Norwegian Forest Cat (they look like Maine Coons, but smaller).

Hmmmm, I'm terrible with naming cats (which is how my brother got away with naming our cat after a moss...), but my cat's nickname is Dr. Claw (you know, after the Inspector Gadget villain).

But if you want anime-related names...the only anime cats that I can think of (off the top of my head) are: Luna, Artemis and Diana from Sailor Moon; Diaho and Selkurka from Crest/Banner of the Stars. I'm not really "up" on my anime pet names. :roll:

How about "Ponsuh? Because in your discription of your cel you say:
I am a sucker for a pretty girl.
and in this case you sure are!

Besides, she kinda has the same expression in her eyes your cel of Ponsuh.

Keep 'em coming. I like an awfully lot what I am hearing... close... but no cigar so far.

Strangely enough, that name was already proposed and Uende likes it a lot.
At this point, it doesn't sit right with me because of the "o"-endsound.
