When I was a kid our kitten was a rescue my mother brought home from the place she took horseback riding lessons - the kitten got stuck inside the chip machine's coin box, so it works more whenever you fed the machine coins.

We ended up giving her the oh-so-original name snowball. Then her colors came in and we discovered her to be a calico. Oops. Kitty it is then. RIP kitty.

I named by boy Willow, because he had very long limbs and tail, reminded me of the tree. the petsmart employee thought it was weird tho and only wrote 'Will' down on the form

Damnit it's true. My female cat's name is Aurora (Bora Alice) and my last male was simply named Siatie (c a t)

My girl cat Persephone got a goddess name, but we normally do old lady names and had a mental block on them at the time. So Percy it is.

It doesn't apply in my case, but I like the idea of a goddess called Bubbles and a Taco Bell item called Squanch.

I've had cats named Baldr, Hermóðr, Grendel, and Wotan. I've currently got a Valkyrie, Brynhildr, Freyja, and Freya (we got Freya when she was a year old because her owner couldn't keep her, and we already had Frejya, so...). But our current boy cats are Svartur ('cuz he's black), Robert, and Charlie.

Our girl cat is Dweezil. Close enough.
