    We have adopted yet another stray cat. I have yet to see it, but it is apparently a black male kitten.

    Since it has found a home, it now needs a name. Any suggestions?

    I have cross-analyzed my pet name database, and I have come up with the answer.

    You should name your new cat....

    Does that mean you're also short and good with math [​IMG] (just a joke)

    But I'll take your name into consideration [​IMG]

    nope. Not short, especially not for a Chinese guy. Hmm....about the math thing, I'm probably the dumbest Chinese guy you would meet. [​IMG]

    Ask the cat. He'll tell you. [​IMG]

    Personally, I'd go with Miles or Mingus but that's the jazz lover in me. [​IMG]

    I like Miles, but my parents have a dog named Miles already. Im looking for something with personality, but not something as common as a Max or Felix.

    I had a black cat that died a few years a go. He was named Bart (as in Black Bart). He would be honored if your cat carried this honorable name into a Hakeem-less future.

    I've been into geography names. My puppy, who died recently of parvo, was named Cyprus. If we had gotten a male, we would have called him Antioch. My previous dog (who is actually still alive and with my parents) is named China. There are good place-names out there that will work well for animals (but not children). There are also all sorts of names in the Old Testament that would be bad for naming your children but just fine for aniimals; names like Jezebel or Ahab.

    My sister has a knack for finding an appropriate name based on the look of an animal. Her current cat is Chunky Monkey. Meanwhile, I don't think my brother has ever named an animal.

    One market I plan to tap soon is semi-obscure historical figures, like Deniken or Zinoviev (Russian Revolution).

    Any of this help?

    I had a tuxedo kitty named "Bandit"
    Had 3 orange cats in a row as a child all named "George"
    The last cat that ran away was "Mr.Buster"

    I now have dogs, Spooky (just looks like one) and Isis (also called Icey for her icey blue eyes)

    Had a friend with a cat named Skreech, by the sound of its meow!

    What does he/she look like? I mean the look of its face will tell you. It'll come around and then change and evolve, I'm sure!
