Need Help Naming These Little Guys


A couple of days ago, we adopted these two little guys. We haven't named them yet, but are watching them play and sleep in an effort to find quirks, behaviors (behaviours, for my Canadian friends,) etc. that would assist in the naming process. The result so far - Nothing. They chase each other. They roll about on the floor. They climb furniture. They crap. They're little cats.


So, any suggestions anyone might offer would be helpful. French names are out of the question, because, well, they're French names. Ethnically-insensitive (but funny) names are on the table, but because I live in the Great White North, the only people who would "get it" are people you wouldn't invite into your home. Profane names are out. I'm having enough trouble getting my three year-old granddaughter to stop using profanity (if only I could figure out where she hears those words). Religious names are ok, but only if combined with the names of other mythical creatures (except for the name of any Mormon prophet because I could never be that cruel to an innocent animal, and besides, the whole first initial, middle name, last name thing is pompous and pretentious).

  2. You don't want me to name your cats. My current cat is named Booger. The next cat will be named Buttsteak. It'll only get worse from there.

    But, if I had to give a suggestion, The Captain and Tennille.
