Sickening Cuteness Alert

So I've had a shitty week so far.

But when my sister said she had a surprise I'd "just love" waiting for me when I came home this weekend, I was not expecting an 8-week-old stray kitten. My sister said her friend had found the kitty in question, and was going to put her down, so we took her in. She has been unofficially entrusted to me. She (I think it's a she) is polydactyl on both forepaws, gray and white, and has greeny-yellow eyes. She is currently walking around my room meowing NONSTOP (I exaggerate not) and interchangeably rubbing against my legs. She is now in my lap headbutting me. emot-biggrin

AND NOW SHE IS ON MY SHOULDER AND NOW THE BACK OF THE NECK OH OW BUT SO CUTE. AND SHE'S NUZZLING MY CHIN. emot-dance

And now she's on the keyboard.

The big question is: names. I am trying to think of what to name her/him. These are my ideas so far, based on what I have seen of personality. She is very outgoing, very friendly, and very spastic, wandering all over, not deciding if she wants to be held or not, very demanding of attention.

Haruhi
Hokuto
Hikaru
Nariya
Eriya
Tomoyo
Wakaba
Utena

Ziggy Stardust
Subaru
Sora
Isaac
Folken

Any suggestions/additions? This is a very rough list off the top of my head.

Pictures soon! emot-dance

Re: Sickening Cuteness Alert

There's no question. Her name should be Nanami.
Or Nyanami, if you prefer. emot-keke

Re: Sickening Cuteness Alert

For suggestions, I really like the name Hotaru for a kitty.
The name gives the connotation of the faint glow that a firefly has. Your kitty sounds like he/she's quite small, but he/she's lively, no?
Although Subaru is nice, too because it reminds me of that adorable little omnyoji that I find occasionally very "glomp"-able school-devil

Ziggy Stardust sounds like a cool name, too! How many cats in the world can be named Ziggy Stardust?

In any case, I think maybe we can find a way for the cat to decide which name he/she wants to be called. It's his/her life, after all. (Takes out the alphabet blocks)

Re: Sickening Cuteness Alert

Just about any name with an long "e" sound at the end and can be said in a baby-talk kind of way would be perfect for a cat. Names like Sparky, Missy, Cody, Tommy are all good kitty-cat names. The rationale is that every single cat in the world responds to "Here, kitty kitty kitty", so three you go. I hope I've helped in some way.

Re: Sickening Cuteness Alert

I vote for Wakaba. He/she talks all the time and can't seem to get off of you, so I think it's appropriate.


Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again.
It's so far and out of sight.

Because all pets (e.g. pet cows and chickens) should be named Nanami, or because naming a kitten Nanami means that if Kamen's sister drowns it in a fit of jealousy there will be a component of irony?  Either way, I like this idea.

I suggest giving her a name you can write in Japanese.  The "nana" in "Nanami" is easy (七), but the "mi" (実) requires a little practice.  Stay away from "Wakaba" (若葉).  "Hikaru" (光る) is easy, cute, and gender-neutral.

Or you could always name her Chu Chu.

Let's hope that NEVER happens. It WAS Kamen's sister who gave the cat in the first place, just like it was Nanami who brought Touga the kitten, and she was also the one who destroys it as it was technically her property emot-gonkemot-gonkemot-gonkemot-gonkemot-gonkemot-gonkemot-gonk

Re: Sickening Cuteness Alert

All signs point to Wakaba, especially the whole "no consideration for personal space" style of affection gracing.

If not Wakaba, then Ziggy Stardust. It can be shortened to Ziggy or Zig and because David Bowie is THE man.

Re: Sickening Cuteness Alert

Well since she's talkative and affectionate (And seriously cute), I'd say a tie between Haruhi and Wakaba.

Maybe you can write Wakaba on one slip of paper and Poptart on another and see which one your kitty goes for first

Re: Sickening Cuteness Alert

Wow, so many suggestions. You guys are awesome. emot-dance

My family has requested a name that "they can pronounce" (nothing ridiculous), so I will have to see what they think of my pitches at the planned family pow-wow after my mom gets back from Texas. My dad is partial to Ziggy Stardust (as am I), but my mother and sister might not be so wild about that.

It seems as though Wakaba is the clear leader here, followed closely by Poptart and Haruhi.

These are a few craptastic pictures I took with my webcam when I was at home with the bundle of terror. I don't have any good pictures on me right now, but I will upload some shortly.

Re: Sickening Cuteness Alert

....that is such a ridiculously cute kitty. I wish my cat were a kitten still, she was so much more fun when she was little. emot-frown I vote for Poptart, although my judgement may or may not be taken seriously. My cats were named Bert and Ernie. emot-keke


The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix
