07 Dec 04 - 08:27 PM (#1350483) Subject: RE: BS: music related pet names. From: beetle cat clever. ok.. so this is a bit off topic, but I got to wondering if anyone has named their children after songs, musicians, or music related things? hmm.. girl that I am, I am always pondering what my childrens names are going to be, and I always fantasize about Sally and Nancy.. (after the shanty lore characters) but those might just end up nicknames, cause there is no saying which will be which. It would be a catastrophe to guess wrong. And I know a cat named Sarafina, (spelling?) after the chanty character. |

07 Dec 04 - 08:41 PM (#1350493) Subject: RE: BS: music related pet names. From: Metchosin yup. We named our youngest daughter Ceilidh. Initially we were going to spell it Ceili, but my brother insisted if we were going to give her a Gaelic word as a name, we could at least spell it correctly. It was not a wise idea. She hated it when she was in school, as nobody could pronounce it correctly and the only other animate creature she ever met with the same name was a collie. She is quite taken with her name as an adult, but it caused her a lot of discomfort as a kid. |

Got him trained to not run out the door, when I came in with armloads of instruments. My current cat is named Worf, after the Star Trek Next Generation character. My sig-o had a cat named Rockefeller, after the song Pete Seeger sang, not John D. |

From: LadyJean My tortie cat with attitude (Hollowfox's kids called her the hiss machine>) is named Musetta from Puccini's La Boheme. It suits her very well. She STILL isn't speaking to me since the move. The new kitten is named Grace O'Malley, and there are I think several songs about the original pirate. Her name is also appropriate. Now, my mother new a woman named Aida Amneris. |

From: GUEST,Scoville on Dad's computer At my previous place of employment, the resident cats were also Willie and Waylon (ours were orange tabbies). One of the other vet techs adopted a kitten that was abandoned with us and named him Jerry Jeff to continue the tradition. My dog wears hammer pants (American Eskimo dog with extremely fluffy "britches"). |

(Kuri is the Maori word for dog.) I also had a cat named Tibby, like Tibby Dunbar in another thread. That was about 20 years back. My newest cat is called Twiggy - because she was very skinny when I got her. Robyn |

08 Dec 04 - 02:48 PM (#1351181) Subject: RE: BS: music related pet names. From: KateG We had a cat named Banjo for his lap sitting tendencies (Banjo on my knee). Unfortunately he lacked critical key cat skills, like using a litter box instead of the living room carpet, and how to kill the mice he brought into the house, so it was not quite a tragedy when he misjudged the speed of an oncoming car one day. Current cats are Pansy, which I hate, but it fits her in all ways, and Friday the Boss-cat. Six pounds of pure chutzpah -- she keeps the Rottweilers in line. |
