Please, for the love of GOD, will you please STOP ....

Ghosty, what do you mean? Some of us love to read the baby name threads. I know I do, as do my children, Chlamydia, S'heffield and Qwertyuiop-Vanilla.

lol Raahh...my rabbits were called Mr Mc'Murphy and Gemini...suited them, imo

Now, I was reply about the suggestion of Fabio for my girl kitten and than I saw the post about the girl called Timothy...what can I say now....lol...call it Timotei (as in teh shampoo)....as for Fabio, tis a boys name....and Fabia sounds to much like Labia.....

as for Ghengis Khan...if the girl would have been a boy (Kitten now) qouls have been a boy we may have gone for that ...I mean, come on I would be at the backdoor shouting Ninja....Ghengis Khan...kinda cool, lol!

Tbh, so far it is still Ziva for this one....lol...

Love the West Highlands but never lived there, so not me.

Fennel, why not start a thread for your cat name, someone else did that the other day.

i had a rabbit called Brian. It is a great name for a rabbit. Far better than Peter. Or Flopsy (common).

Also had a tortoise called Stanley (old pet chic).

If you lived in the West Highlands once upon a time, than I might know you.

Cats full name was Ghangis Nimrod Beowulf. If it you, Hi! Havent heard from you in ages!

If not, Hi! - great to hear about someone with great cat-naming skills!

I could use a cat naming thread. One male and one female waiting for the right names. Unless we stick with Timothy and Orlando. I guess it shows you're really not broody for more children when you hang around on cat name threads rather than baby name threads.

Do we know each other Weegie? 1 of my cats was called Genghis! (she turned out to be a girl too.)

Perhaps we should lobby MNHQ for a cat naming section.

I also knew people with a cat called Ghengis (as in Ghenghis Kahn).

Now theres a name due for a baby revival.

"Ghengis, honey, please don't scalp Oliver, I don't think he likes it !"

is ghosty cod? only cod can get away with starting a thread like that

Victorian Squalor my cats called Dave too. Whenever we take him to the vets or the cattery, his name gets commented on. Most love it. I love it. It suits him.

I therefore could not call a baby David. Also for the reason that top of my fantasy shag list is Dave Grohl.

People post on forums like this partly to gauge how the name will be received in real life and to check if there are any negative associations they should be aware of.
Some post for suggestions or ideas.
It is far better than asking family I find!

I love baby name threads. They're sick and wrong, but hugely fun!

Dd has a dog called Colin. He came already named but it suits him down to the ground. He's the perfect pet, doesn't need feeding, never craps, never barks and doesn't shed hair. Colin I think I may actually prefer him to my children.....

We want to call our next cat Kevin. Or maybe Keith. He'd be a chav-cat, of course.

PMSL @ Timothy the girl cat. Maybe she'll grow into it (chortle chortle).

That is very funny.

Steve, Desmond and Alan have all belonged to different people. Steve was a dude. An enormous tabby Maine Coon who belonged to a neighbour of mine. He weighed 9.5 kilos and had paws like a lion cub. He quite liked a cuddle too.

Baby Name threads are ace, imho. But cat names seems like a much better idea, reading this. I wanted to call our last cat Simon, but was stopped by DP. Mark would be an excellent name for a cat. Or Ian.

I love these baby name threads with a demented passion.... I am new here though. Perhaps I will find the hundredth Amelia/Emelia quandary tiresome? Time will tell.

We have just adopted two kittens called (in the refuge) Stevie and Orlando. dd2 renamed Stevie as Timothy but, confusingly, it's a girl. Though we were told it was a boy. Timothy is a terrible name for a girl cat.

Steve for a cat is inspired

Our cat was called Angus. I love names like that for animals.

my first ever dog was called george.....it is now my DS' name!

i now have a kitten called gary, thanks to Custy

Some of the names i have seen suggested lately make me shudder for the poor child.

i just have visions of some poor little child growing into a strapping rugby player and having the coach shouting something like "flopsum"

or some fat old mare that looks like she was amade up from spare parts of a Mr potatoe factory having to introudce herself as "preshuss" (because names aren't stupid enough if spelt correctly it seem's)

PMSL @ Alan, Steve and Desmond. Was that in one household? Can you imagine shouting out the back door, Alaaan, Steeeve, Deeeesmoooond.....

Excellent. I have known cats called Alan, Steve and Desmond.

oh lol i know a few colin's none of them are canine though

Dogs should be called Derek.

I know someone who had a dog called Colin!

He would take him to the park, then yell "Colin" and about 4 old blokes woudl look around.

I think Colin is a great name for a dog!
