Mine have middle names from charaters in Mystery Science Theater movies:

BobCat Mitchell ("Mitchell"; a cop thriller starring Joe Don Baker - Bob is big and food obsessed like the title character)

Bickford Rowsdower ("Final Sacrifice"; Rowsdower was a big, beer drinking, truck driving Canadian former member of a cult - Bick is big, somewhat surly and lazy as well)

Fera Greta ("Mitchell" - Greta was Mitchell's girlfriend played by Linda Evans. I gave her the name because she has "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" fur)

Chloe Nastinka ("Jack Frost"; a Russian fairy tale that has a lot of similarities to Cinderella and Snow White. Chloe, like Nastinka, is a small girl just finding her way.)

I LOVE MST!! My favorite is "The Beginning of the End". Giant grasshoppers walking up postcards.

Simba definitely doesn't have a middle name. But I guess Murray sort of does, since I named him after the singer Murray Head (who sang "One Night in Bangkok" - since Murray is a Siamese, and Bangkok is in what used to be Siam). So if pressed to give him a middle name, I guess it would be Head...

Zeus Nicholas - Zeus was the name he came with Nicholas was because he came to us on Christmas.

Patches Peanutbutter - Patches because thats what my husband named her and peanutbutter because of her colors , she looks like a mushed up peanutbutter cup.

Bellah Serra - Her name at Maine Coon Rescue was "momma" but when I saw her I said she was Bellah my husband added Serra ... together the names mean " Beautiful Night ".

Serena - doesn't have a middle name yet but her first name was based on Bellah's middle name.

Grace - Came with that name but I like it... our daughter Amanda's middle name is Hope . When I had my last child 2 years ago if he had been a girl his middle name would have been Grace. My husband thinks Grace's middle name should be Belle . Another play on Bellah's name.

My furbabies both have middles too -
Cypress Whitepaws: Cypress, because my boy loves the cypress trees in our back yard, and whitepaws are self-explanitory
My dog is Katie Buttercup: Katie, because it's one of those sweet names that makes us happy, and Buttercup...because dh was singing to her one day and it just came out and we both thought it sounded just like her.

I have never considered giving them a middle name but of course they have the same last name and I am their Dad, or in the case of my daughter's cats I am their grandad.

My furbies don't have middle names, but they do all have 'nicknames' - depending upon their purr-sonalities..


Maverick's nickname is "Blabs" b/c he's the talker of the clan.
I also refer to him as "Romeo" or "lover-boy", b/c he's such a lover.


Geronimo's nickname is "Hooters" or "Hootie", b/c he's such a hoot!
I also sometimes call him Einstein, b/c he's so smart.


Winchester is "Evil Knevil" or "Dennis the Menace", b/c he's a combination of a daredevil & a 'push your luck' type of cat.
I also call him "Big Boy" b/c he's so fat!

Spencer's nicknames are "Forrest Gump" or "half baked", b/c he's not the brightest crayon in the box.


Gabriel is known as the "hermit", b/c he's a loner.
I also call him "Nubs" b/c he gets that 'nubby' fur.

Salem is called "Stubby", b/c she has only half a tail.


The kittens don't have nicknames yet, b/c they haven't fully developed their purr-sonalities.
But b/c they are kittens, they've been called plenty of other names in the past few weeks!
