robviti Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I've already used Dexter and Cecil as cat names, so you can't have them. Wardell, however, is still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robviti Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 How about Johnny and Duke? Or maybe Wynton and...Oh, forget it. that's it! i'll name one "wynton" and the other one "loud-mouthed, narrow-minded, over-hyped hack." on second thought, i think the similarity will confuse them.

ValerieB Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 i can't imagine naming cats anything without knowing their personalities! sorry but that makes perfect sense to me. most people don't seem to have much trouble naming their children at birth. imo, pet names are little more than labels we humans use for convenience and sometimes for amusement. this is all of little interest or consequence to the animal. what does matter to me very much are the communications (most of it nonverbal) that exist between human and animal companions. those communications, along with the relationships between all three of us, will be heavily influenced by our individual personalities, i assure you. ^ ^ o o =o= (---) naming children beforehand is a completely different issue with different reasons/legalities, etc. but i agree with everything else you've said in your post and i'm sure you're a great dad!

tonym Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Well I voted for Stan & Zoot since they're the names I considered for our son and wasn't 'allowed' to use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aparxa Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Trinkle & Tinkle sounds great to me even if it does not refer to specific bandmates and that these names could lead to confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robviti Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 and the winners are: max (roach) viti and sonny (rollins) viti! i originally named max "zoot" 'cause i like the name a lot. whenever i wanted his attention, however, i kept wanting to say "max." i dunno, he just looks more like a max. btw, max is mostly black, but has white whiskers, white paws, and a white chin that continues down to his chest in a "v." very dapper looking. sonny is all grey with beautiful gold eyes. i hadn't really thought of the physical resemblance, but the real newk does have a similar coiffure. pictures will follow when i get hold of a digital camera, for those who might be interested.

Teasing the Korean Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 It doesn't matter what you name your cats. I can assure you, you'll come up 50 ridiculous pet names for each of them, and you'll rarely call them by their real names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Is your/their last name Viti? If so, how about naming them Veni Viti, and Vici Viti? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robviti Posted September 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I was going to suggest naming them Frick & Frack or Slick & Retread, but you were so hell-bent on jazz names.... from wicked-pee-dia: Frick and Frack were two Swiss skaters who came to the U.S. and joined the original Ice Follies show as comedy ice skaters. "Frick" was Werner Groebli, born April 21, 1915, in Basel, Switzerland. "Frack" was Hansreudi (Hans) R. Mauch, May 4, 1919, in Basel, Switzerland. Frick and Frack were known for skating in Alpine Lederhosen and performing eccentric tricks on ice, including the "cantilever spread-eagle," created by Groebli, and Mauch's "rubber legs" twisting and bending his legs while skating in a spread eagle position. sorry, but i gotta wonder about a guy who wants to name cats after a couple of male skaters.

Aw geez, don't get technical. I didn't know their history. To me Frick & Frack just means like inseparable friends, you see one--you see the other too. e.g. Mutt & Jeff, the Bobbsie twins, etc. But, hey.....they're your cats. -_- Edited September 20, 2007 by MoGrubb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
