Title: Help choose Snow's Name!
Post by: Lottie (Team Svartalfheim's) on October 25, 2009, 21:33:11 PM
I am struggling to decide on a pet name for Snow and need to decide soon if I'm to ask his breeders to start calling him something else.

I'm currently leaning towards Orion but I have put up a few others I like or feel free to suggest something else for my lovely big boy.

Don't let this put you off - I had a rat called Orion, and he was the friendliest, cuddliest rat I remember ever sharing my home with. I love that name, but do like Snow too. :)

Ajax
Andronicus
Theo

Post by: hannah (weeny) on October 26, 2009, 21:02:46 PM
ok - this might be a seriously daft question cos well... it me asking!  but is he actually called 'snow' ...or the.... danish/foreign word for snow?  :shify:

i like rather like quinn.  although i like snow i do think its rather like star... but then again, i think thats maybe just me being me!

He's being called 'Snow' by them Hannah. It's so hard choosing a name when I haven't met the kitten! All I have to go on for a name is he has a super temper and he's apparently really huge which was where the possibility of Aloeus came from as it means 'Father of Giants' which hopefully he will be!

I'd go for Snowball or Snowflake too. After all he comes from the land of the cold and snow.

I no longer like colour related names....

I never did in the way that people seem to call all black cats "Sooty", white cats "Snowy" and grey cats "Smokey" (sorry to anyone who used those names!) but I do like it when it's a word meaning something appropriate from a different culture. (I used the words Nameva and Impuku as names for the spiny mice.....they mean "thorny" and "mouse" in Afrikaans and Zulu. ;))

Orion means "The Hunter" and is in reference to a giant huntsman in Greek mythology. I believe he was a hero (not 100% on that as I'm not up on Greek mythology). Of course the constellation of Orion is I think one of the largest and most recognisable - it is three bright stars in a row. White is a bright colour.

Sooooooooooo a big white cat = Orion  :evillaugh:

I'll get my coat now .......

Sooooooooooo a big white cat = Orion  :evillaugh:

That's me sold as I have no doubt when he comes over here and we've built the big catrun he will become a giant hunstman and he will be a bright star I'm sure! Tbh I just heard the name in a film and went "ooo I wonder if that would be a good name"   :-[:evillaugh:

Now to email his breeders and ask if they'd mind calling him Orion as I'd imagine trying to get him used to a new name at 11-12 months would be impossible!

I did love the suggestion of Yeti though  :evillaugh:

Just looked at a map of Europe and the poor boy is going to get a nice shock at the difference between winter temps in the Netherlands and the winter temps here I think looking at how far south he is living at the mo!!
