We are adopting a cat this week and she is lovely! We're having a hard time deciding on a name. here are the family suggestions. Our son is three and would likely pick Thomas so only me, my husband's and my daughter's choices are here.

Is that your son's name or is that just one of those names he's latched onto and names everything?

If you pick a Tomcat, Mia and Cupcake may be bad ideas.

I picked Strider, but I'd probably name that cat Hazel if it was mine.

I though all the world was in agreement that Max Fightmaster was the best name, because it is, end of story...

So if you really want your cat to have the best name your choice is clear.

Well, if we're going wrestling names, we gotta go obscure: Battle Cat!

Personally, I like to figure out the cat's personality and then come up with a name for it. That's how Diomedes was named. Like the Greek legend, the kitten endlessly attacked and played with everything and anything in sight. Of course, I was also knee-deep in a Classical Epic course at the time and the instructor told an awesome story about Diomedes.

Though I chose Strider, I'd be more inclined to let the cat choose its name between multiple selections. (Use treats and pieces of paper.)

Call it "Get Off the Counter"

You'll be shouting that enough as it is. Might as well make it official.

Magical Mister Mistopheles.

Of those suggestions, Strider for a Tom, Cupcake for a female cat (so shoot me, I don't know the proper word).

That does explain why I've never been a huge fan of them and people always looked weird at me when I said I thought cupcake hairs always got stuck between my teeth...

My brother had a dog named Dammit once. It did not work out.


The five year old twins next door would call his name for hours on end. He never went over to them either...

When you call your cats, do you like to repeat their name constantly? Like, "Here, kitty kitty kitty kitty kitty!"

If so, Mia is going to sound like "Here, me yummy yummy yummy yummy". Try it.

Strider is hard due to the change between the st and d sounds.

And cupcake has way too many vocal stops.

I think you may need to hit the drawing board again.

Name your cat Nana so it sounds like you're singing the Batman song.[DOUBLEPOST=1343740972][/DOUBLEPOST]According to a post HC made on Facebook like 30 minutes ago, I'm guessing they chose Strider.

To call my cat I just rub my thumb and finger together.

Best part about this was the text today "You named him after Aragorn?!"

Only took two days :)

Maybe I was hoping that wasn't really happening?

Better than naming the poor girl "Costner" though.

Strider has come to our house to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And she's all out of bubble gum.

What is she kicking as? If it were me I would probably kick as a kickboxer, or as a rockkette.

Edit: Too late, but I would have called the cat Murderface.

Murderface is an awesome name for a cat.

I'm picturing a Persian or something...because they look like they want kill all the time.

One of our other cats is so passive and doesn't know what to do with Strider. Poor thing...
