In a state of misery w/o my Bella
My cats have Italian names:

Bella(MY Rainbow Bridge baby) was named Bella because she is beautiful


Sophia...My DH named her after Sophia Loren


Severino...he was named after a family friend.

Lucia Bella...named after one of my favorite books "Lucia Lucia" and my favorite Cat in the whole wide world Bella.

Joey is really named for Joe Gibbs, the Washington Redskins coach but because of the Italian theme he is JOEY!

Mario...I just like the name

Twitch twitched every time I touched her.
TigerLily lil sis wanted Lily, so I added tiger cuz Lily is stupid.

Damita Mae...Damita is spanish for something, added the Mae so she rhymed with Dorian!
Dorian Grey...named after a guy in a book.
Ophelia Rose...Ophelia because she's a drama queen, Rose in case she got "nice"

Molly was prenamed.
Fafeena, I have no idea who named the poor cat or where it came from!

Slinky....she slinks about
Tabitha, lil sis named
Goat-Head...well, she rams her head into other things like a goat, it just fit!

Cow...looked like a cow in the pasture when he was born
Billy Bob & Tony Bob, both are very vocal & whine a lot, like the guys who farm around us....so we named them after the whiny farmers!


PJ & Punky were named that by someone at the shelter, all litters start with the same letter! This sis(adopted) was Paprika.

Maverick I didn't choose his name (he already had it when I adopted him), but I kept it b/c I thought it was cool,
and he IS a maverick!


Gabriel I named him that b/c he looked like a sweet little "angel" kitty when I first got him.


Geronimo I originally was gonna name him Amadeus, but chose Geronimo instead b/c he's a "warrior" (my/ bf calls his a demon
.) and the people at the vet's office (where I got him from) called him Lucifer. He's not evil - he just has issues!


Winchester I named him that b/c he's a "pistol"!


Spencer He just looked like a Spencer to me!
I originally chose Caruso, b/c he was "abandoned", but it just didn't fit him.


Those are the cats I have now. I won't even get started on all their nicknames, b/c it's already been discussed in another thread!

Wow, what a creative group of people. My cats are jealous.

I drew a blank when my cats came along and ended up with a KittyGurl & Jaedi.

They both know their names. KittyGurl looks, but cannot be bothered to come unless there's something - food - in it for her. Jaedi, on the other hand, has a faster recall than my German Shepherd!

Sassy was named after a half man/half cat creature call SuraSassy from the Clive Barker book Cabal...my personal favorite.

Linus started life with the name Baxter, however, when I brought him home from the shelter he spent most of his first day home hiding under a blanket in his cat carrier. What else would I have named except Linus after the peanuts character who drags his security blanket around everywhere.

Flippy my R.I.P. Kitty got his name when he was little he was always trying to see behind him when he was laying down and would end up Flipping over completely.

Knee deep in cat litter
Ours are:

Oreo - cause she looks like an Oreo cookie and now that she has gained weight, we all her double stuffed Oreo.

Snickers - cause she has the colors of a Snickers bar.
Jazz - Cause he has "Jazz paws" and is a very Jazzy type personality.
Tosh - My DH got him as a kitten and he was told that HE was a SHE. Well he called him Natasha...Tasha for short. After almost three months of him being called Tasha, we figured out he was a boy. So to not confuse him we just dropped the "a" at the end of Tasha and thought "Tosh" had a masculine sound to it. The poor boy.

ours are weird too,

Tubee- everyone pronounces his name wrong, it is pronouced like 2b. He was found on a tube mill, so we thought it was fitting.

Root- orininal name was Roo at the shelter, we liked root more

Samba- (pronounced s-ah-m-b-ah) His name was smokey joe at the shelter, and we thought that was too proper a name for a crazy cat like him.

Jasmine- she was named before I adopted her


Velvet- the day we adopted her, the song "Black Velvet" was playing on the radio- it was PERFECT!!!!!
The name suited her to a T


Isabella- because there was no better name for my little princess- i've always loved that name and thought it was perfect for her!

Kojak- I named him "Kolar" when he was a kitten- i had 5 foster boys and named them all after guns/gun accessories
My nephew chose the name "kolar" - i eventually changed it because everyone made fun of his name and said it sounded like the bathroom fixtures
Colin changed his name to Kojak- after the 80's lollypop detective
It suites him!

I have one kitty: Babee. She got her name because of her size-5 1/2 lbs and she loves to be held like a baby.

Hennessy was named after the booze.

Because my roommate started a theme with our pet's names.

Bacardi, Pernod, Guinness, Baileys, Sour Apple Pucker (Puck), Jack Daniels, and Kahlua are the others.

OX (real name Oxford). I got him when he was two from my supervisor. He had just been neutered the day before (bit of a fighter). Anyhow we put him in the detached garage (closed up so he couldn't get out) anyhow I heard some cats fighting in the middle of the night and said to myself-thank goodness "Ox" (he had a different name) is locked in the garage. But I went to check and he somehow got the petdoor open!! So I found him and put in back in the garage and put a concrete block in front of the pet door. Also when he eats he put his head done int the dish and its do not disturb time.
So because he was so strong I named him OX.

Grizzly and her rainbow bridge sister Sierra were named in Neil's wilderness phase.
She is kind of chubby so we also call her Bear. or grizzle.

Bobber (bobs, bobbette) is American Bobtail. Highly original name but her dad was names Dusty Bob and her brother Tigger Bob.

Bakker-he kneads on my head-hence Bakker.

Others (rainbow bridge)
Sheba-my skinny little Silver tabby
Frankie and THe Dude-offspring of Sheba (Frankie) and The Dude was barn rescue that had siamese coloring.
Tommie-my garage stray.
