Evil People With Boxes in the Wal-Mart Parking Lot....

[Dar~]

I got out of my car, innocent, most people would say, but not so today. I got my son out of his strangle holder and walked around to meet my daughter. We joined hands and headed for the air conditioned interior of "cheap plastic crap-land" Still, it seems innocent...but then my daughter, all of almost six years, read out loud the one word she knows with rock solid certainty...."KITTENS!!!" There in front of us, in a seemingly normal Stratus, with her trunk wide open was a woman in her early thirties, her two daughters, and "the box." How could I refuse my kids a look, I ask you, how??? Peering out at us as we glanced over the edge...The cutest little furry face I have ever seen. She is very tiny, maybe six-eight weeks. Her coat is medium-ish and she is that gorgeous reddish-orange with blackish-gray tabby stripes.
Help me name her. I was thinking something like Ophelia...a great beauty from literature. Give me suggestions.

Mitten, don't ask me why. She's lovely.

Mitten, don't ask me why. She's lovely.

isn't she though? Mitten is in there...My daughter likes it...any more?

 

[bluebell]

In keeping with the Shakespeare thing, Rosalind? Lots of good variations on that one. (Rosie, etc.)

Or, for that matter, Cordelia. And all the lovely permutations that go with it.

I have a fixation for naming things after Shakespeare's characters.

What a sweetheart.

No names off the top of my head I'm afraid.

 

[StrixVaria]

In that she came out of a box - Pandora....

You KNOW that there is trouble to be found - you just have to wait for it

Thats cute...

I too have a thing for shakespearian names...

 

[starrkers]

Awww, she is very cute.
Don't ask about names, I usually take days with mine! (actually took three weeks to name Genghis)

 

[StrixVaria]

Hey, I named my Great Danes "Death" and "Taxes"...

Death is a sweetheart, Taxes will eat you alive if you give her the chance. But, they remain the two things in life in which I have total confidence. They are great around the house - if you don't mind having 300lbs of dog in the bed with you....

I always liked Smokey.

Hiccup

... just 'cause I have them.

She is so cute, hiccup may work, if only b/c she was a hiccup in my plans.

 

[flavortang]

You could call her KeyKey. I call all my cats that.

What a sweetie!

Let's see...a Shakespearian name....

I think she seems more a Celia or Phebe rather than a Rosiland from "As You Like It"

Mopsa from "A Winter's Tale" (that's my fave)

Quickly (as in Mistress Quickly from "Henry IV)

Viola from "Twelfth Night"

Ariel from "The Tempest"

Or one of the fairy names from "Midsummer Night's Dream"--as it is Midsummer afterall:

Peaseblossom
Cobweb
Moth/'Mote'
Mustardseed

You can let your daughter decide between them, but kitty looks like a "cobweb" or a "mote" to me

Or....

Juliet

How are those?

I like Mote and cobweb, Shimmer is good too ( that is my daughter's)

 

[5moreminutes]

She looks like a Charlotte

 

[lisa123414]

Hi Dar wiggle,
I think she looks like a Sheba. Had a friend in college who named his kitten "Velcro". To demonstrate why, he would toss her at the curtains, and she stuck. Really adored that guy

 

[starrkers]

Don't call her Juliet - thats the name of my neurotic Burmese

 

[impressive]

Daughter recently named her kitten "Thunder"

It's sooooooo appropriate for this little furr ball, too!

 

[Dar~]

well she has certainly livened things up around here. I am thinking she is going to have to find a better home tho. But I have a friend wh ojust moved who is looking for a kitten.
The only reason being that one of the two cats we already have is in permanent hiding b/c of said unnamed kitten.

I've never been very imaginitive at naming pets. All my kittens as a child were Miss Kitty. Now, I stay away from kittens. Kittens I like, cats not so much.

 

[TheEarl]

Cuteness! The only name I can think of right now is that of my sister's kitten, Klutz. So named because, on first viewing, she managed to fall off my sister's hand and onto the table, then off the table onto the chair, then off the chair onto the floor. All within about four seconds and would probably've fallen further if there was further to go.

[Just-Legal]

Mittens I like

 

[Dar~]

So, the roomie came home and said "aw! Look at the little pouf!" so guess what we've named her...?
