I need to pick a name for my new kitten.

http://www.jlkramer.net/Pictures/INeedAName.htm

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

LOL!

Lucifer perhaps :-)

Switch-blade?

100mm f/2... what lens is that?
Gorgeous shots.

I know too many Lucifers that lived up to their names ;-)

Tempting, but too long, Need something I can scream when I need to.
Also I already have a cat that I have nicknamed "Lord Fuzzy Butt
Satan's Little Helper" so I don't think I need to push my (bad) luck.

Canon 100mm F2.0, of course with the "what ever the Hell piece of Junk
Bret used to shoot with." :-)

Careful you'll get accused of gushing. Thanks.

We named our cat 'Rough Dude' [RIP]
and he was actually very gentle:

OK then 'Dalia' might be better positive thinking :-)

[Background Information]

I have always had an open door policy at my house, if you need a place
to stay you are welcome; be you man or (mostly) beast.  The vast
majority of the animals that have shared this earth with me have shown
up on my doorstep (literally) at death's door, I will nurse them back
to health the best I can.  I don't know why, but they keep
coming. :-)

It is rare that I get a feral kitten that shows up "only" dehydrated,
half-starved, flea infested, riddled with worms, and with nasty eye
infections.

[End BI]

So, she may look sly because she has infections in both eyes, or she
knows she's pulled one over on a poor sucker; only time will tell.
But she's here now. :-)

I remember when Canon first came out with their EOS line of cameras,
they said it was named after the ancient Greek goddess of the dawn.
Sort of a new beginning.  EOS?  Dawn?

Already had a Butterscotch, a male orange marmalade cat lived to 18,
liked to catch bats and play on my face when he was young. :-) A Sweet

They should be named for personality traits, or after the way they were
acquired....I have one named "B-K" because I picked him up in a Burger King
parking lot....
Since I can only see the way your kitten looks, I can only suggest something
like, "Brownie"......

The way I found her; one of my cats was nosed up against a back door
that I never use going, "snort" and then I heard what I thought I
heard late last night, "meow!"  I went outside to look for the "meow"
and found something buried underneath the siding, that came running
over when I snapped my fingers.  Thought, "well it has been awhile
since I had a new pet."

Definitely not Brownie.

That's the way I get most of my pets....They come to me, and not the other
way around....Even B-K, came over to me, and stood on his hind legs and put
one front paw on my knee, and pawed at my burger bag and said, "Can I have
some of your hamburgers dad?"
   I opened my car door, threw the hamburgers on the front seat of the car,
and then opened the back door, picked him up and threw him in the back seat
and said, "I think I'll feed you all the burgers you want for the rest of
your life."

Same thing happened to me.  Fortunately, it wasn't a far drive to the
nearest bridge.

Maybe too obvious, but she seems photogenic, though maybe a little
blurry looking, probably always going to be in the background...
Bokeh?

I always wait until they show some personality, or I go over the
top with "clever".  Thus, Squeaker, Wen Chi (wench-y), Tuggles, and
Serendip (she's a pit-y mix).  And that's just the 2007 line-up.

Give her a chance to show you who she is.  Or give her any old name
until you find a good one, because a good name may take months to
find.

Okay, one 'clever' suggestion: Earie Music.

Rip out one of her eyes and call her "Socket."

Or if it keeps crapping all over itself then just call it "Noons."

Rip them both out, instill an arrogant attitude, an unholy facination
with aus.photo and give her a camera.. her name would be...??? :-)

Molokini.  Kinda looks like my cat, Maui, only smaller and more poorly
lit.
Maybe you should just call her "Flash?"  Much easier to say than
"Speedlight."

My wife suggested flash too, but I just don't see getting the cat into
a bright red leotard with a lightning bolt emblazoned.

Too many people would ask why I named her after a processed cheese
food from Kraft. :-)

Only if they couldn't spell!  Velveeta, surely?

Velveeta is not sold in the UK, except by specialist mail order
companies serving US and Canadian expatriates, so the potential
problem did not occur to me.  ;-)

Anyway, if you're worried about people confusing Velvia with Velveeta,
how about Provia, Astia, Superia, Sensia or Acros?  

[Perhaps not Sensia!  <giggle>]

I've always wanted to name a female kitten Aurora (goddess of the dawn).
She has the right sort of markings.  You could call her Rory for short?

Been away for a while, but Maude - after the character in the old TV show.

Has that look in the eyes that says "God will get you for that ... and
if she doesn't I will."
