I was just thinking today after seeing another thread here that Seamus is just a great name for a cat!
Sometimes I think of great names and think to myself, now, perhaps I need another cat for this one!
Sunday was always going to be Sunday - it just suits her so well. But Cairo was going to be Delilah and my then husband wouldn't let me call her that. I love Cairo a lot as a name though - it suits her. But I think Delilah would have suited her more...
Sashka started out as Scratchy because I'd had her three weeks and had NO names coming to mind at all. I went through dozens and ended up calling her that because she just had the most razor-sharp little claws that she used on everything (she was my introduction to TCS, incidentally, crazy kitten that she was!).
But Scratchy wasn't a nice name so I changed it to Saskia and then Sashka, which means to spring, or jump, in Russian. Being a Russian Blue and being able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, it seemed appropriate. But it never really `clicked' for me, either.
Ruby was Ruby from the second we got her, but I wanted to call Chester `Dougall'. I'm glad we decided on Chester though.
Have you ever changed your cat's name? Or wanted to call it something else? Or have you got names picked out for your future kitties?
