Kittens

[ralphmelton]

We now have three kittens: one brown striped male, one black male, one black female. We invite suggestions of names. Here are some of the trios we've thought of so far:
Yakko, Wakko, and Dot
Puck, Oberon, and Titania
Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere
Harry, Ron, and Hermione (currently a favorite)
Don Lockwood, Cosmo Brown, and Kathy Selden
Bugs, Buster, and Babs
Destruction, Dream, and Death

Ralph also just thought of Duke (Ellington), Louie (Armstrong) and Ella (Fitzgerald).

This is my current favorite.

I like Duke, Louie, and Ella, meself!

Or, it could be Duke, Satchmo, and Lady Day...

Or Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego...

Whee! Kittens are such fun! (How old are they?) I assume that pictures will be forthcoming?

I don't have any good name suggestions right now; sorry. My only advice is to keep expandability in mind; there will presumably be more kitties in your future, so don't pick a theme that only has three members, for instance. (Or, if you do, know that you'll have to violate it later.)

I don't know if I'd tempt fate by naming a cat "Destruction". (I've never named a pet "Loki" for the same reason, though it's a popular choice.)

I think it took me a week or two before names for mine suggested themselves, by the way.

Yeah, we thought "Destruction and Death" the kitties were bad news...

And no one but fellow Sandman fans would get it.

Though the look on the vet's face could be fun ;-)

I like Yakko, Wakko, and Dot.
Steven suggested Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. That has some appeal to me too.

Do you have ANY IDEA how many geeks have named their dogs/cats/ferrets/Chinese water dragons "Yakko, Wakko, and Dot"??

[mrpeck.livejournal.com]

No

Well, neither can I, but I assure you, it's a passel!

We thought about the Musketeers too, but one's a girl...

Names finally

[indigodove.livejournal.com]

The kittens have spoken and we have listened. They wanted cool names that were easy to hear.

So, Duke, Louie and Ella have joined the Melton family. Duke and Ella are all-black kittens. The only distinguishing mark is that Ella has yellow eyes and Duke's are green. Louie is a tiger-striped gray and brown kitten.

All three are a riot, and very affectionate (yay!) they took an hour-long nap on Ralph & I's laps last night.

BTW, they are 11 weeks old.

I once had three fish named:
Hells, Bells, and Margaret

Ah, missed my chance. I was gonna suggest Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh...
