Help me name my cat

I adopted a kitten two days ago. He needs a good name. Trouble is, in spite of this being the fifth cat I've called my own, I've never had to name one (mine all seemed to come with names, but I got this guy at the Humane Society, and he was nameless). I can't keep calling him "Hey you" indefinitely, but I have no idea what to call him. He's ten weeks old and a bit on he demonic side. Any ideas? Help.

Viktor Von Doom.

Awwwwwwwwww.... How CUTE! How about giving him even more of complex and naming him Badger?

How about Brian ? He just looks like a Brian, I think it would suit him.

Something so cute should be called Blue-eyes. Or Blondie.

You could say it as either Blondie [/Bogart], or Blondie [/Tuco], depending on whether he’s being cute or predatory.

Call him Shaft. Then you get a good (perhaps appropriate) theme song to sing to him when he's up to no good.

Lugholes. Or Sonar.

I mean, look at that cat's ears. Maybe he's at an awkward stage and will grow into them but right now they're all VWAAAAARN, like that! EARS!

Sax

08:48 / 28.10.04

Sonar's good. Or Radar! Radar O'Reilly.

But look at that squinky eye! That cat is clearly a megalomaniac.

My cat was called Radar. After Mash.
He used to come home summer nights smelling of perfume (no joke) and he eventually left us.
He'd come back on holidays when his new family were away, always looking for food, giving precious little time for cuddles.
Recently I had to confront him. I told him I was in an abusive relationship and couldn't take it anymore. He looked to the kitchen and tried to scratch me.

So I hissed at the little bastard and chased him out.
-Sniff-

How about The Shadow? Blofeld?
(Sorry, my grief has momentarily robbed me of creativity).

Sax

When you say you chased him off, did you mean for good?

That cat looks a bit like Roger Moore, with that squint.

Call him Bond.

Whisky Priestess

10:16 / 28.10.04

Shit, I was just about to say exactly the same thing, but suggest that you call him Roger. There's a lot of eyebrow action going on. Hmmm ... The Saint? Templar?

iamus

10:23 / 28.10.04

Sax,

I'll still scratch behind his ears if I see him in the street. But things just couldn't continue in that fashion. It just wasn't healthy.

Loomis

10:37 / 28.10.04

The Saint? Templar?

How about Sweaty? Safari?

Déjà vu.

All cats should be called Déjà Vu.

I like it when animals have surnames, but I would prefer it if they
weren't celebrity ones. Mike Vickers, Helen Cunningham - these are
the names that cats should have. Then you could list them in the telephone directory. Give 'em a call and tinkle bells at them. Your kitten there looks like a Tim Savage or a Scott Winkfield.

Alternatively: someone was telling me all abouttheir new cat in an email a while ago and I misread the name as The Archive. That'd be good for any cat that looked like it contained a lot of useful old data.

With the markings on his face like that - I'd call him Harlequin.

All pets should have titles - surnames are nice but not necessary.

No cutsie little fuzzy furry names. Ughh! My first cat was named Jeffrey's Cat (I was 8, so it sounded good at the time) We called her JC for short. I definitely believe in either titles or surnames, but probably not both.

The Cat With No Name

The Cat (always work in a slight pause after the name, and say it a bit ominously, no matter what the circumstances. i.e. "It's time to feed The Cat..."

Destroyer Of Worlds (DW for short)

Kitty McHearsalot

Cats Malone

KITTY! (Say it thinking of Lennie Of Mice and Men, loving but dangerously unaware of being several times the cats size)

Call it Tesla, and encourage him to paw at wet electrical sockets. I still want to see if the self-preservation instinct can be trained out of an animal. God knows I haven't had any luck with it.

He is cute, though, in a hyper-intelligent Machiavellian way. Ah. Ozymandias!
You can look upon his works, ye mighty, and despair.

16:55 / 28.10.04

Call it "Complex"! Complex the kitten (cute little confused bundle) and then, when older, the chic, urbane Complex the Cat.
Unless you've perfected a genetically engineered Perpetual Kitten, in which case, I will invest in your lab, and have two dozen.

'atrocious' is my favorite cat name ever.

Ethan Hawke

17:34 / 28.10.04

After someone described their lunch on Livejournal, I've thought of a great name for your cat:

Hot Fudge Sundae.

Wait...

make that..

Mr. Hot Fudge Sundae

Impresario -- Imp, for short, since he's a little demonic.
