What should I name my kitten?

GANZ

well, you'd have to clear it with dabprovin, but I love the name Avalon -- Avi for short. It's dignified and cute at the same time. Is this cat male or female? Can you tell?

I once had a cat named Murray -- that was cool. Not everyone has a cat named Murray.

Misty

Dusty

Charles.

Krishna.

Carmilla.Calico,I guess she's is female then...if you have one rare Calico male,then I don't know.

Name her acording to her personality.

Stinky

I don't know. I have never seen this cat...

You should make sure she doesn't belong to someone first, before claiming her as your own.

That is what I did with my current wife, Pt!

... and make sure she doesn't have any fleas or lice or anything.

xerxes, boggle, fuzz-ball, calliope, twitter, ms. pink, kimba, gemini, bludgeon of wrath, paisley, yodette (like yoda), tulip, beast, morgan la fey, tigger, indubious, hermeina, polly,

As long it has 2 syllables and ends in a long o or long e sound, you'll be fine.

Jemmy.

Babooshka.

Cat.
I just watched "Breakfast at Tiffany's" last night.

Kitty, because many cats don't respond to their names anywho.

Punk
Racer,
Bandit,
all of the above (above for short LOL)

I actually like all those names. Especially Xerxes for a cat.

Zang? I dunno why, but I would never have guessed that you were the SC. I imagined a female, under 40ish, to be the SC! That's so weird, how we form images in our minds, of what we expect. But you surprised me! I guess, naming a kitten is a female-ish thing to me??

I grabbed this survey as a "fix-me". I live in a tiny one-bedroom apartment in Vancouver's Chinatown. I don't think it's appropriate to keep pets in that kind of situation. If I had a place with a yard, I might consider it.

Ah that explains. I didn't think it was you either. We need a 'kitten name' survey every few months anyhow.

Aha, that makes more sense!

Yeah, I wouldn't want everyones' excess kitten-names to start filling up their heads until they can't contain them any longer and they explode in an orgy of violence!

We all have our own coping mechanisms. I'd probably worry, pace around a lot, and start writing kitten-name management software.

She couldn't have made a worse move...

My coping mechanism seems to be "running away".

From a mind full of excess kitten names? Where can you go?
Just plaed to Bach's tocatto & fugue in Dm with a bass effect i made called nemo, like church resonant quasars formed from deep sea bubbles. such fun. I also made a 10¢ volume pedal with a paper clip lever on my volume knob, rubberband & tack return, toe string control; great for sustaining plucks or plucking sustained effects. Next step is midi control. Theres a device I can't afford which turns 32 5v inputs into midi controls. You can make your own of choose from 48 options they have like toe benders, humidity & light sensors, etc. There're also folks doing the same with EEG inputs. I have to make some sort of speaker phone (duplexed through the amp) next for playing with family in alaska. So far I just plug in a second pair of headphones next to the phone mic, can't hear them. If I could figure out a cheap arrangement, you, dora, and I could gig together.

Taking tips from MacGyver?

when i got my 2 kitties, they are a bro and a sis, the people who had 'em had named them "Cali", the girl and "Co" was the boy...
(i changed their names to Venus & Mars )

Yay! You got it!

Cat.

I think I'll listen to some Kate now

Venus is my fish's name! His nickname actually. His full name is Venus As A Boy

mandy

A couple of guys I chat to on another website (www.outintheuk.com)are thinking of having a dinner on or around Kate's birthday. 30th July. http://gaffa.org/faq/faq_3_4.html a bit obsessive - more of an excuse to get together and wax lyrical about Kate.

I like those names too, I usually have to think for awhile before I name any of my animals because I like the name t fit the personality and be a little different too.

Venus As A Boy...i love it!!

we have some fish too, their names are... Lisa, Kitty, Christmas, Louie, Bob, Rahsta, Vinnie, Archimedes....do you have any more fish??
i also name my indoor plants too, as well as certain trees in our yard, ok..ya ready for the plant names?? the indoor plants are...George, Fluffy, Stretch, Jim, Smiley...the only tree i've named so far here, is Willis...i used to name my vehicle as well, but my hub steered me away from that saying that that gives them a personality or a right to act up, besides i don't think that he liked the names i had picked out, so maybe that's why he's "against" naming cars!
speaking of names...i LOVE your user name, it seems to fit you quite well, all sparkley and stuff

same here...i like to pick unusual names...when i was 13 i got my dog,(he lives w/ my folks), but his full name is....Cody James Kulwicki Hintz Esquire....my 2 other cats are Achilles and Damnit, but when children are present his name is Dwamnit

I have a horse named Dammit, and I have another one named Rumor and some others but won't go there right now.

Here are some names that are taken:
Sweetie, Wheaty, Sweetie-Wheaty, Sweetress-sweetress Galli, Wee-Wee, Swee-Wee, Pss-pss;
Mr. Mook, Mooky, Mooky-pooky, Pooky-poo, Pookster, Spooky, Spooky-poo, Poo-poo

sounds like fun!

wow!! small world i tell ya....i have a song that's running through my head right now, it's about a horse and his name is bill and when he ran he couldn't stand still and he ran away one day until i caught up with him.......

What's his/her character? What was something that stood out? Is kitty scared, bold, depressed, frisky? What's the first thing kitty did when u got it home? I have 3 cats...Mr. Rogers (roger) who I saved from drowning and 2 big hungry dogs...I had the same problem in naming him until "Roger" popped in my head and I called him that...he chose me so he told me what his name was and he answers me =0)...my other cats are Ozzy...he was brought to me wild and mean and the first thing he did when he got here was hide inside my endtables that have magazine racks...he looked like he was in prison so I thought of OZ...the tv show on HBO....and my last cat is orange and white...female so i named her Peaches-n-Cream...Peaches. So for your's...grey and white calico, u can use Patches, Misty, Haze.

Sounds like a neat little tune.

thanks for humoring me....it is a cool little tune, i think that you'd like it

I'm sure I would.

He told you =0) ? How do you pronounce that? Do you like the name "HorrorShow" for a kitty??

yep...roger told me...i was goin through names in my head as i was lookin at him...he looked at me and i heard a little voice in my head say "roger"...so i said ok mr. rogers...roger it is and he responds to me =0)...i laughed cause it reminded me of MR. RODGERS NEIGHBORHOOD...HA! horrorshow?? is the poor thing that bad!?

Gasp! That CAN'T be just a coincidence!

Hey did you get all the info you needed to mail me the camera from Cleo?

um......no....but she said that she had posted something to me in the forum...haven't been there yet, so am not sure....but you can e-mail me...justjulieInTheSun@msn.com....

Well Cleo said she would fwd it to you, but I'll go ahead and e-mail it to you. I'm pretty sure you send to me and then I send to Glassa.

yeppers..that's what i gather as well

Was nice chatting with you, if I ever bother you when your busy don't hesitate to tell me and I will let you get back to what you were doing.

Are you sure you don't pronounce it =0( because I've heard that name before)? Never =0) though.

... =0)~ (smile)

Dog.

I knew some kids at primary school who had a cat called Bunny.

People should never mention MacGyver! I watched it as a small child, and ever since, every time someone says the name, the theme music comes into my head and I sing it for the next few weeks. It's even worse now we have satellite tv where it's shown *four* times a day on one channel! I'm humming the music to myelf constantly. (I think it may be the greatest tv theme tune ever).

I've never seen seen a single episode or even part of one. I only know about the show by reputation. Somewhat similar I guess to my reference to "Dukes Of Hazzard" here:

http://surveycentral.org/survey/15124.html

That reminds me of an old Linda Barry comic where the mother says she won't tolerate having a jack-in-the-box in her house: "I just get that Pop Goes The Weasel song in my head and it starts going faster and faster until I think I'm going insane..."

nice for me as well, and do not worry, for if i was "busy", i wouldn't be on-line

No, I'm sure you mean ( )=0)>

i need a name for my kitten too.....i have a friend who has two kittens, named, ""Fila",
[the girl] and "Boxer", the boy. thought they were cute names.....

Stallerandericker was the name of MY male kitten and Synsibullicopodous was the name of the female. Cute, right?

muppet?

Hey, you settled down and married yet?

That makes sinse, although a lot of people do business or pay bills and things online these days.

oh yeah...i always forget about those folks who actually do WORK on the computer!!

Was that the thing with "grasshopper" being mentioned? I remember you explaining that to me a couple of years ago. I actually came across that show on Sky the other day and I immediately thought of you

In the early mid seventies-ish, there was a popular TV show called: "Kung Fu", starring David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine. It was actually a pretty cool show. It made frequent use of flashbacks in which Caine, as a child (played by Radames Pera) learned some valuable lesson from Master Po, who always called him "Grasshopper" in a particularly distinctive voice.

I would avoid the resurrected series from the late 1980s. It totally bites the big one.

no not married yet.

Why, did you think I was?

No, I'm just diving right into a conversation. It's been awhile, thought I'd go for the big inquiries first.

I will probably be married age 32

That's my prediction anyway.

How's things with you?

(>)=0)~ ...soooo much for the horns holdin the halo up

Essy. (SC)

I had a recent lice torment. It's been a good excuse to tear my apartment inch by inch and rearrange everything. I think I got it from the crowded neighbors next door who had just accused my cats of giving them fleas. the thing is, I don't even have fleas in my apartment. They brought one over in a ziploc baggie as proof and want me to spring for fumigating their apartment. Since the recent cleaning spree my cats are practically clean enouch to eat off of. (I suppose they always were as far as fleas are concerned though).
My recent hobby has been sculpting sound effects with a guitar synthesizer. I have a lot of art and politics agenda to get back to though. I also need to get out of debt.
Nothing in the supernatural realm lately, but I haven't lost my knack for doing tarot readings. For the first time, someone dropped by my apartment after seeing my web site. I think I just turned her life around from total subjugation to vast freedom.

Did you like Live and let Die? That was full of tarot reading.

Music wise, I brought a technics PR170 electric piano 2 weeks ago. I already have composed 2 songs

Bond movies have always been a bit too superficial for me.
I have a keyboard which I might try to integrate into a midi studio setup here. It's definitely not my primary instrument though. Directly handling the strings gives so many more texture options.
Cool, what sort of songs? Did you play before? Do you have any jamming partners?

Love songs mainly. I can only write sad and lushy songs!

No jamming partners, its just me, myself and I on the piano!

well, cool. I saw the most passionate intense colorful cultural mystical beautiful romantic tragedy movie tonigt. It gets the first 6 in my 1-5 scoring system. It was a 1999 brazilian movie w/ english subtitles 'Orfeu' (gold fire, I believe it means, & that was the quality he had). It's about a carnaval samba king, sort of the muse heart of his community, his brotherly gang lord, and of course, his first true love.
My songs are getting much better, which is to say, more grounded composition (approching recognizable music conventions) and cultural diversity where before, I could only play along to such diversity and my own stuff was really out-there deep-sea quasar stuff, beyond time, matter, and human intervention. Even my 'dance of the elemental spirits' was a step towards earthly music.
Does your beast record? Can you play 'heart and soul' with yourself?

kitty

beast?

I call computers and cars, anything approaching robot, with character, a 'beast'. I didn't know if you have a straight keyboard, or something that automatically improvises a back-up band while you sing in the shower.

I have a PR170 technics that has a recording function and there are improvising functions that I can use.

Although I just stick to the piano, dont bother with all the chord functions

I doubt i would either. better to control the sensitivity of each note. unless you 'want to sound like a machine

sing it to me and I'll tell you....

Which song is it?

Barry Manilow

yes...I know that one...

Starbuck wants to know if I'm like that song....
*laughs*
