Ok now the geek that I am I loooooooooooooooooooove Optimus Prrrime. That is such a cool name for a cat.
-
I love my friends cat's name - Socrates (or Sockratees sometimes)
Her past cats were Aphrodite and Jemima Piddlecat, lol
OH wants to call our next cat Snarf, from thundercats.
-

That's my favorite too!
-
lol @ Sir Lix a Lot
"I like big cats an' I cannot lie..."
I don't really go for 'popular' names, mine have the ones they came with. I did add the Corporal bit though but that was just the way he looks at us.
-
I have a Lucy, and have had a Charlie from that popular list. Not named any from the unusual list I must say!
Mind you Gwyngala is pretty unusual - (apparently is Cornish for September - because I got her in September and she came from Cornwall) ;)
Zeta isnt common I suppose - but I didnt name her.
One of my customers cats is called Dennis - I like that ;D
-
OH wants to call our next cat Snarf, from thundercats.
:rofl: Chloe, after bringing up a hairball, is known as Barf, Queen of the CHUNDER cats .......
-
Well i haven't got any of the "common names" :rofl: :rofl:
-
I had a dog that I wanted to call Shadow years ago but didn't get my own way :P
All of mine including Sasha RIP have had their names given by their previous owner as they were her breeding queens before I rehomed them from her. She also has kids with first names beginning with S. Skye is from the same breeder but we got her as a kitten and thought we would keep with the S theme :rofl:
-
None from either list here. I'm sure there will be a few more Jaffa's around somewhere, but perhaps not that many. I doubt there are many Mosi's wandering around.
-
None form either list for any of mine either - I havrnt come across another Beavis yet :rofl:
-
My first cat was called Tooshey and I've never seen another one. :shify:
-
not too many Smidgens about (probably a good thing :rofl: :rofl: )
-
One of the best names i have seen for a cat was Bigwig and the most unusual Passpertoo (round the world in 8o days like)
! Also Beetme! (named after gorilla)
We have had some Porriage, Pilchard and Nelix as well all unsual names
One of my older Siamese was a Yoyo! not to many of them i say..
-
Mate of mine has deefur (d for dog) and ceefur (c for cat) :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
I have had a comehere! (or something like that..) ! I dont think he did.!
-
I've only seen one other Nova (here :shy:) and no Mia's.
My uncle had a stray cat adopt him and he called her Puke as she'd always eat her food so fast she'd throw it back up again :doh: I was disgusted at the name choice and always made a point to call her Daisy - :)
-
I've only seen one other Nova (here :shy:) and no Mia's.
Mosi's furry meowmy is called Mia ;D
-
I thought Chilli was pretty unique till I cam here :shy: No other Dizzy's that I know of (my black baby who is in retirement with my Mum) and certainly no other Dave's ;D
I like them to have names that are either different or descriptive, Dizzy because when she was a kitten she would run straight into the walls, Chilli because she was a feisty little butter when a kitten and Dave because it makes me giggle.
ETA: I lived with a cat called Mouse, as in cat and, a gorgeous slightly brain damaged long haired grey moggy who would have funny turns leading her to attack you in a really demonic focussed way unless you successfully snapped her out of it :evillaugh: Then there was Scruff who was so named because she was a semi-longhair who would use her fur to pick up garden debris and never clean it out :evillaugh:
-
I have a mia.....a rather large round rolly one!!
and a lucy
best name i have ever come across was my friends grans black cat who was called adrian!....sadly he had to be pts earlier last year at the age of 21
we also have a jake...or jacob when hes naugty and have had a tiggy, and sebastian or sebi...bet there quite common
-
I might have to add Owl Capone to that list of unusual names.
Robins parents cats had/have lovely and quite unusual names: Ichabod, Persephone, Mandarin, Aduki, Pinto, Selene, Aphrodite, Dido...
-
I always wanted a cat called The Professor, or Wing Commander or something similar. :evillaugh: But I think the ultimate unusual cat's name has to be the late, great Colonel Beau (Sir) of Catchat fame. :Luv:
-
Including fosters, I have had 7 off the top 10 list, but none off the unusual list. Think the most unusual foster was Sonny Jim (now renamed Samson). The only one of my fosters I have renamed so far was Swiggy, normally I just keep the name till they get rehomed, but couldnt live with that.
I did have a slightly humerous conversation at the vets last year - I had 2 appointments, one for Zia, and one for Mia, and I Was booking in a new foster to be spayed - she was called Tia. Luckily Tia was a different colour, or that would have been really confusing, as Zia and Mia were both dark torties.
-
I have 2 Olivers ;D and also a Harry, which I think is a common cat name.
My girls are Macey and Delilah, which I dont think anyone else here has for a girl cats name, makes them unusual to me :Luv2:
LOL Des thats confussion alright :evillaugh:
-
We had a Scoot Muldoon when I was a teenager (mom named him :Crazy:)
-
I once had a Tigger.
Other than that, not in either list.
We've (or I've) had / have a Felix, a Tigger, a Vlad the Cat, a George (technically George Duke of Clarence, thanks to nige), an Edward (technically Edward Earl of March - also thanks to Nige), and a Magnus (who was originally called Friend, when he arrived).

Delilah? Do you know Freddie Mercury's "Delilah" - about his cat ? Worth listening to, even if you are not a Queen fan :)

-
My little Teeko (Quanteeko Star) has got a brother called Optimus Prime - they call him Timmy
and I have got Mystical Mellika, Ki Raffiki, Hara and Tiggy and Charlie
-
don't know of any Thai or Zubin's there maybe a few Zebedee's about - not many though.
-
We used to have aq little ginger cat called Zebedee cos he bounced everywhere
-
I love Sir Lix-alot :evillaugh: I also like quite short simple names too and what suits the cat
-
I guess Minimopsicals name is just purr fect and unique.
Some others we have had include
Noshalot
Purralot
Munchalot
Fussypuss
Scruffypuss
and Lovealot
-
So many people who ring me think I will not guess the colour of their cat when they tell me their names.
Snowy & Sooty
When they say Snowy I say is it black or if the say Sooty I say is it white, they seem amazed when I am right. They all really think they are unique.
-
I reallly want to call a cat CHAIRMAN MEOW lol
-
There are a few Dylans about I think although not many and I've only seen one other person on here mention a Hobbes. Dylan was called that when I adopted him but it does suit him as he is so laid back and sleeps for England like Dylan the rabbit from the Magic Roundabout. Hobbes is after the tiger in Calivn and Hobbes.
Other than that I've had a Cleo and a Sophie
My favourite latest ones we've had in our CP branch were two kittens we named Dolce and Gabbana (not my idea but I loved the names) and my other fave was a gorgeous ginger boy we had a while ago and called Thomas O'Malley.
-
There arent many Rameses's about either,thank God :rofl:

Max would just like to say that he's not common, and his full name is Brutus Maxipuss (and I bet there aren't many of them around) :rofl:
-
This was Perseus .... I think that was a splendid name, although he always ended up as PERCY-Puss :briggin:
-
Perseus (Percy-puss) :Luv2:
-
We just had a Hercule reported to us. :wow:
And we mustn't forget Mark's Clapton. :evillaugh:
-
I don't have any of the names on the list. I wouldn't have thought there were a huge number of Bronte's around and not sure about how many Dino's there may be.
-

Yeah,yeah Max,who you trying to kid :shify:

Max is now very upset :-[ that you don't believe its his full name :shy:
-
My friends cat is called Rainbow and hes an all black which confuses vets
Amber isnt unusual for a cat Ive found out and neither really is Mogs but it would appear that having an owner called Tabitha is
First time I went to the vets they called for Ms Mogs with Tabitha :evillaugh:
love
Tab

Oh Maxy,sorry baby,I do believe ya,just didnt think your meowmy was clever enough to come up with it :briggin: Here have some chicken and tuna (dont share with meowmy) :sneaky:
-
I neighbours when I was growing up had a lovely old moth-eaten ginger boy called Tat - it suited him so well. He was one of those cats that would be waiting on the corner for the kids :Luv2:
Thinking about it - th name probably came from Puddy Tat? :evillaugh:

Am on a diet anyway and not hungry :evillaugh:
-
Memphis was Dexter from about 4 weeks - 7 weeks of age. Then I figured it wasn't doing him any justice (yes I did name him after Dexter the serial killer :evillaugh:), Elvis didn't really suit him so whilst going through Elvis related things I came up with Memphis and am very pleased with his name. I actually called one of his sisters Roswell :evillaugh: It totally suits him and it's not common. Mig (bunny) isn't a common name either. However, Molly evens things out as she has the most popular dog name. But I've always wanted a MollyCollie :evillaugh: Next doggie will have an unusual name since I've gotten Molly out of my system.
-

And we mustn't forget Mark's Clapton. :evillaugh:
There's a donkey called Hercules in the allotments behind us.

One of my friends on the US forum has a cat called Chairman Squishy Miaow.
-
My Mum and dad's cat is called PC
When asked by the vet what the letters meant the annswer was Pussy Cat (of course)
-
Haven't had any names from either list, altho a little surprised as Jet isn't that creative hehe (I've covered her ears so she can't hear me), but I don't think I've heard of another Cruz. Previously had an Indi (Indiana) and as a child we had a Snuff (my mum had the snuffles when they got her). One of the guys at work has a kitten called mia - as she went missing in action the very first day they had her - she hid inside the sofa
-
I prefer this Delilah http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2x-3nl5jM_w cos Im always saying why Delilah, she's a very naughty tortie girl :evillaugh:
I have Oliver my latest addition- Oliver the monster meowey puss lol
-
Indy - after Indiana Jones as he looks good, theoritically pretty smart but gets in silly silly situations and in first few days being in the house was chased down the stairs by the dogs giant tennis ball
Misha - after a pet lynx in an online game I play
Mabel - when I first saw her she was stood on a Table and became known as Table Cat... then Mabel onna Table :-[
and if I get another indoor kitty I really like the name Seefur
-
There are a few Dylans about I think although not many and I've only seen one other person on here mention a Hobbes.
One of my cat sitting customers cats is called Hobbes. ;D
Another is called Monty, nothing unusual about that really, but after looking after him for the past week I've been calling him Lord Monty as he's definitely Lord of the Manor LOL! :evillaugh:
