Naming poll

[tacit]

I've had my gorgeous little kitten for almost a week, and she rocks in every way, even putting up getting soaked by the dog's post-drink clampy jaws. She's very brave and bold for her age and size, and purrs easily. She's affectionate, and likes to curl up in small spaces like elbows and necks. She's a cutie! But she's still nameless.[Poll #1219715]

I like Merry best of the options you've given but I agree it does sound too much like Mary.

My only advice is to make sure that whatever you name her make sure it's something you're not going to be embarassed about yelling out at night to get her to come back inside.

My mum named our family dog 'Candy' when I was younger (She loved the song by that title) and I always felt like such a retard yelling that out in front of people.

I could enunciate a lot??

I am definitely keeping that in mind. My friend C suggested Pusskykins Thunderfoot. I think she was joking...

[dodificus.livejournal.com]

NO! I take everything back YOU MUST call her Pussykins Thunderfoot! Best name ever:)

It is a sign of my puppy-induced sleep deprivation that I considered it.

Gotta stand by my suggestion - she does look like a Merry. And she sounds like one, too. ♥

[tacittype.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is a great name!

I didn't credit on purpose - I wanted this to be impartial so your various LJ buddies didn't go for yours automatically. Not that they would. But I was a scientist, once! I figure comments are safe. For the record, Tribble was ex-housemate R's idea; Merry was yours, obviously; Sinister was C's grandpa Frank; Gypsy was my next door neighbour.

I have yet to contribute a suggestion. *dies*

Who's the kittie in your icon? They look a lot alike, right down to the white eye-rings. Which are only for the best cats, obviously.

Oooh, very scientific! *g* I am impressed. Glad comments are safe - otherwise you could always screen this conversation until you've gotten more responses.

Kittie in my icon is one of the last batch of kittens that next door neighbor's daughter's cat had. She was the mom of the one cat who had the kittens this year - and I think the current litter and last share the father, but since we're out in the country, we'll never know. It's a mystery! Still, to answer your question - it was one of a batch of kittens in 2005, and my brother took gorgeous pictures of them, so I made this one into an icon.

This cat icon is of Tigre, a female marmalade tabby from my home village in Switzerland. She's very, very cuddly, despite being a mostly outdoors cat.

Merry or Tribble sound the best. Sinister sounds cool, too, and you could call her "Sini," for short.

I like Tribble because she's small and fluffy and I approve of geekiness.

[raisintorte.livejournal.com]

Tribble! That's just COOL. (one of the first presents Andy gave me was a set of Tribbles)

Can you call a cat Squee? Because she really induces that kind of feeling... And my brain doesn't seem to be up to anything coherent tonight. ♥ kitten!

[naye]

Awwwwwwww, that's really cute! But maybe it would be weird calling it out loud in front of other people? Still - I like! ♥

[deltacephei.livejournal.com]

Totally unrelated here... You're shiny new! Can I have an identity crisis when it's you who changed names?? *g*

[tacittype.livejournal.com]

Hee! The '_uk' just irritated me everytime I saw it. Which was quite often, so...

Do you feel an identity crisis coming on? I suggest a sportscar. No, wait, that's a midlife crisis. What do you get for identity crises? Maybe some personalised jewelery? A tattoo of a name?

[naye]

You changed your name and it's changed in everything I've typed, too, and it's really weird. But cool! I like this version of it better, I think.

[tacittype.livejournal.com]

It's cool the way it does that, isn't it! I definitely prefer this - the old one was making me all frowny.

Shouldn't you be off editing? Stop procrastinating, wench! Get to it! *cracks whip*

I can't stop using this icon!!

[naye]

I am editing! See:

Teyla and Woolsey were now drawn together and speaking intently, while McKay orbited them like an annoyed and flailing satellite

...okay, nothing in that sentence needed editing, but I thought the description was funny, so there you go. Am currently changing "buckled" to "holstered". HAH. Working hard. (Yes, I am totally avoiding the rewrite issue right now.)

The icon! Makes me LAUGH. Oh, I love Red Dwarf so very, very much.
