HELP!!! kitten names

[Taya]

I have a dilemma. I've decided to get 2 kittens, and I have even chosen their names. The grey boy is to be named Smog (many nickname possibilities have already come to me), and the girl...well, I can't get the name "Matilda" out of my head!! Unfortunately there is a character on this stupid Australian TV show called Home and Away, whose name is Matilda (apparently). I haven't watched the show in ages so I didn't know there was a Matilda.

 

I just don't know if I can stand to saddle a poor little kitten with a name that's on a dodgy soapie. ;)

 

But Matilda seems to suit her. She's got a damn lot of energy and seems to get up to quite a bit of mischief.

 

What should I do???!!

[Vemynal]

just name the cat that name^^

 

after plotting the downfall of the crappy soap and killing the actress who plays her^^

 

 

 

or just name the cat that name and pretend the show doesn't exist^^

[Majsju]

You know, if you do name her Mathilda, you have to teach her how to waltz. And that is an experiment I think is guaranteed to end with tears... ;D

[Taya]

*lol* I would feel more sorry for me than for her, if I tried that ;P

 

Mum says I should still name her Matilda and think of Roald Dahl's character instead. ;)

[Guest nephitess]

LOL....those are cute names Taya! i say stay with them. *nods*

 

PICCES!!!! ;D

[Alaksuleiel]

name her Matilda, it's an awesome name, and who cares about h'n'a, it's a crap show, and I say they preempitively called their character matilda to annoy you....

yes, that's what they did, but you show them! YOU are in charge here!

errrr..... yeah....

Oh, name her Nurit. Yes.  >.>

 

 

What?  :P

[Eadon Sedai]

Yeah when I hear the name Matilida I think of the book. Your mum is a wise woman *nods*

[Niamh Sedai]

Matilda is an amazing name! Stick with it  :D Everyone knows that Home and Away sucks!

[Yelenia]

I also thought of the Dahl character. I say use the name that suits - and never mind about dodgy soaps!

[Taya]

THanks guys - it's good to know I have widespread support *G*

 

I visited the babies in the clinic today, they were there with all their siblings - 5 kittens at once crawling all over me. It was heaven!!

 

I have pics but can't upload them yet...might have to wait till Tuesday;)

[Minuet]

You can always call her Milly for short. Just an idea.

[Loreina]

Argh! Min beat me to it! I was going to suggest Tilly. They say cats respond best to names that end in an "ee" sound.  :D 

[Niamh Sedai]

Matty is also a cute way to shorten Matilda though I think the name is very sweet anyway  :D

[MsDanya]

I named mine Zelda...

 

:look

[Sienna]

Just make sure that whatever name you choose that it isn't the same as any famous royal people. Cuz you cat could turn out snooby like my Cleo.

[Taya]

*lol* well, Matilda was some sort of noble lady back in medieval times, and from what I recall she was quite unpleasant. But my kitty isn't named after her :P

 

p.s. here is Matilda:

 

 

and Smog (with Matilda):

This is my favourite I think, since Smog is in mid-air:

OMG>>>>> they are adorable!!! *snuggle the kitties* ;D

[Dwynwen]

They are adorable!  Hooray for kitties!

[Jhaenara]

omgz, I want more kittehs!!

 

So cute, Taya!

[Taya]

Aren't they??!! They're very squishable!

 

The adult cat in the house does NOT like 'em. :) Poor Shamrock...

 

I was saying earlier I feel a bit sleep-deprived, like a new mother, 'cause they went to sleep with me last night and I got woken quite often by loud purring and/or snuggling. I wouldn't have had it any other way though ;)

 

However it can't go on for long :D I need sleep! They can stay in my room until they're a bit older though :)

[Guest nephitess]

*nods* kittens are just like babies. So cute but take up time and energy. :)

[Niamh Sedai]

Matilda was quite a popular name in Medieval Times actually... England had 2 Queens called Matilda and there was the Empress Matilda who was almost a Queen of England but her cousin Stephen got a bit shirty about it ;) (Nope. Not a History Geek. Definately not.)

 

And those Kittens are just ADOREABLE Taya. *scrunchedupface* They're totally worth the effort. And one of my Kittens likes to wake my Mum up by sleeping on her head, so count yourself lucky ;)

[Sienna]

Oh the babies are adorable! I want them ;D

[Taya]

Well, my kitties were leaping all over me this morning, not because they wanted attention but because I was in the way of their playing. Hehe.
