I’d go with Cornholio, but then again, my synapses are kinda sucking air right now. ---

i was going to say both Cob and Niblet, but I see they have already been taken. So I will second those votes. How about Row? I knew someone with a cat named Cornchip, called Corny for short. Silk? Silky? Cuddles? 🙂 ---

I have thus far managed to prevent myself from starting a parody thread entitled “Help me name my tube steak” You have caused 14 new gray hairs, thank you very much. ---

I suggested a bunch of names on the 3FMB thread of the same topic, but I think my favorite of them is Fluffy ---

Of course, you could name him **Wally**. Given how terrified of rodents Wally was, it would be a fitting tribute to name a rodent eater after him, don’t you think? ---

That’s _HILARIOUS!_ How appropo a tribute would it be to name a skittish, rodent-killing creature Wally? I dunno, that’s right up there with Cornelius now. Dilemma! Dilemma! (And I wonder what Amy would think!) ---

Darn. Opal took mine. I kinda like “Spot,” too. But “Wally” is an excellent choice as well. ---

Hey! How about “Cornwallys,” a nifty combination of “Cornelius” and “Wally”? ---
