Kitten naming redux


The name "Sansy" just has not been a hit. It just doesn't roll off the tongue and the guys were resistant. The hunt for a name never ended, even after he'd been named. I guess we knew it wasn't THE name for this complex individual. Today we were trying Jasper because the balck stripes on his face remind me of the polished stone but it wasn't it either.

Kate the Enabler suggested Peregrine, as in Peregrine Took aka Pippin from LOTR and I think we have our name. Fun loving, mischievous, lovable, sweet, curious, troublemaking FOOL OF A TOOK! We have our name and it is Pippin

Doing a happy dance :) - I honestly had the name on my list of possible names for the boys and was ridiculed for it....sigh. Openly ridiculed, I tell you... (grin) Long, happy life, little Pippin Feline.

You know, I like this name much better than the other ones. Pippin is a really neat kitty name!!!!

I think if you say "Pippin Sansy!" it sounds like a curse and will allow you to let off steam without really swearing.

Yeah, I was one of the people who made open, big fun of Kate for having Peregrin on her list of possible baby names. Why not just paint a big 'ole bullseye on the kid's back? Great name for a kitty, though. :)
