Rooster_Ties Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) And the winner is....? Well, we still haven't come up with the definitive name yet (we've only had the CAT at home less than 36 hours). In the end, the name could turn out to be something already suggested, or something entirely unknown as of this point. I think we'll have a name by the end of the week, probably. I've been informed that naming the cat after Khrushchev is ill advised. Edited March 29, 2010 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 (we've only had the can at home less than 36 hours). What, did you have an outhouse before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Perhaps Natasha, and/or just Tasha. (My wife liked Sasha, but I didn't as much. I like Tasha better.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 (My wife liked Sasha, but I didn't as much. I like Tasha better.) Do a little research, find out what Sasha Grey does for a living, share it with your wife and I bet she'll swear off that name forever.

Oh my. Good thing my wife wasn't that sold on 'Sasha' either. 'Tasha' is just plain easier to say, since the 't' is an explosive consonant, as opposed to 's' (a sibilant). Two sibilants in the same name (since the 'sh' is also one) is one too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Mobley I remember hearing about a British musician who called his cat Rollins. I've forgotten the musician's name, but the cat's stays with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I suggested Nina this morning, which wasn't rebuffed much (not like Spot!). I guess the names of the hour are Tasha (or Natasha), and Nina. But the field is still wide open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I suggested Nina this morning, which wasn't rebuffed much (not like Spot!). I still like Natasha for obvious reasons but there's your jazz-related choice: Nica! It even sounds like her behavior befits an aristocratic background. Gotta be Nica!

Rooster_Ties Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) Gotta be Nica! Hmmm..... Nica... I really like that!! Edit: I'll be gosh darn, I never had any idea who the "Nica" was in "Nica's dream". Wiki: Pannonica de Koenigswarter. Learn something new every day. I think we have a winner!! Hope my wife likes it too (it's really 'her' cat, so she gets the naming rights. ) Edit: I just e-mailed her, only mentioning the name, without any explanation. Wanted to get her honest opinion on the basis of the sound of the name alone. If she's generally positive about it (if not quite "wildly enthusiastic"), then I think the back-story will sell her. Fingers-crossed. Edited March 29, 2010 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Anybody know how to pronounce "Pannonica"?? I'm assuming the stress is on the "o", as in "Puh-NO-ni-ka" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 If you go with her full name, that should be the formal name but Nica is what she is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 OK, we have a winner. My wife likes Nikita best of all. She liked Nica (2nd best), and Tasha (or Natasha) 3rd best. BTW, I found the origins and meaning of Nikita on-line, and discovered that Nika (with a 'k', not a 'c' - but pronounced the same way, as in "Nica's Dream") is a closely related name to Nikita (source and source). And at least one claims "Nika" is used as a name for Russian pets, as a shortened or 'diminutive' form of "Nikita". (source: "Nika (Russian pet form) and Nikki (Dutch and English pet form) are variants of Nikita.") So she might get called 'Nika' from time to time as well, as a nickname.
