Okay, guys, since there were so many great ideas suggested for a new name for my neighbor's abandoned cat "Come Here," and at the suggestion of a member to narrow it down to the top picks, I'm starting a new poll.

Here's a picture of the lovely kitty in question:



To really narrow down the list, I'm including the names from the original poll that had four or more votes. (I loved all the names!) I'm also adding the names Maggie (this was suggested but I mistakenly left it out of the original poll) and Hope because it seems appropriate (this doesn't mean you have to vote for it!)

Last thing, I've included the name Gracie, which got 4 votes. I LOVE that name but, since I already have a Gracie myself, it might get a little confusing if Come Here is with us for any length of time. But, if you guys want her to be Gracie, then majority rules.

Please vote when you have a chance! Thanks, guys.

If you're interested, here's a link to how Come Here came to be in my care:

She looks like a Maggie to me - can't really explain it. I just thought that name when I saw her picture before I even read the choices! What a pretty girl she is too!

She is so beautiful! I don't know how you can give her up. I wouldn't be able to.

Now that I see fewer names and her picture with them, I chose "Maggie". It just seems to fit

Emma is my grandma's name too! She already has one family cat named after her. I'm sure she won't mind another. Not that this gorgeous girl is staying. I'd love to keep her, but four's my limit. You guys know that!

Okay, Sophie is gonna have to work for me now since Macy has gone from the list. She is very pretty and all the Sophies that I know are pretty.

Sorry to everybody who liked Macy. I thought it was very cute too.
I hate to eliminate all the names that got few than 3 votes, though. There were just too many good ones!

I love Emma, too -- but I voted Maggie. And you're right, Hope is lovely -- but it's not a name that lends itself to being called out at suppertime, y'know? And they say animals learn their names more easily if they have "ee" endings... so I say Maggie!

My own Gracie is sweet and adorable, but she's also quite the diva and won't like sharing her name.


Having had the chance to get to know Come Here a little bit this weekend, I can honestly say I have three top pics among the choices listed. I don't want to sway your votes, though, so will keep my mouth shut for now.

She spent most of yesterday under the bed, emerging only to eat a little and use the box. She also hissed whenever I spoke to her, so I gave her some space. Today she's out and about in her room, still a little unsure of herself, but very sweet. She's quite the the little lady, headbutting my hand for attention, gently putting her paw on my arm for more and practically prancing around the room when I tell her how pretty she is.


Hope that helps!

Probably at work :(
I chose Maggie only because it rolls out easily when you say it as though you're calling for her--"Maaaaa--giiiiieeeeeee"
