Okay, The Cody and I got a kitten today. We’ve been trying to think up a name for a week. Nothing sounds good yet.
The rules are as follow: one syllable, onamonapia (sp? Y’know, words for a sound). These are Cody’s rules. Yeah.
We currently have Bonk and Boom.
Help! Just throw out lists of ona’s.
A sound word? That’s awful.
Male, or female? If it’s a male, I say go with Chuck.
I vote for “Crash”.
Swish, Boing, Zonk, Zing, Zip, Eeep, Eeeek, Pow, Whee, Zoom…
Hmmm (ooh, another one!), I wonder what you’ll finally choose. Keep us all updated and post pictures! Good luck!
Bing.
Boo.
Blam.
Brr…
I think we need pictures!
Oooooh. Crash. I may hafta run that one past the Cody.
And it is indeed a little male.
And yes, the sound words are horrible. But they’re his cats, so I don’t really care.
Aw, crap. Now I hafta go find me a roll of film, take a bunch of pictures, scan them, and show everyone how cute my new kitten is. How will I ever cope? 
I like Blam and Zonk. What color is he?
Don’t sweat it. Don’t feel you have to come up with a name on any kind of deadline. Just live with the cat, and get to know him, and observe him. He’ll name himself.
Yep, some day, he’ll do something and you’ll say, “Oh, geez, ____, why’d you do that?” Or “Hey, _____, you’re such a dolt, you know?” Or something along those lines. Then you’ll realize that you’ve just found his name.
I adopted a kitten on an impulse once – was driving past a house with a “Free Kittens” sign on the lawn, stopped in, and left with a wee bundle of gray tabby and white fur. As I carried her to the car, the kitten began to wriggle and I said, “Hold still, you little muffin!” Followed immediately by: “Oh, crikey, I just named you.” And Muffin she was.
My Aunt called her cat “Ralph” because that was what the cat’s mother called him. The momma cat would go out on the porch and call “raaaalph”. and he would come in.
Well that’s easy : cat.
On a bad taste you could try : Splat, Sprotch, Flat, Yummm, Food
I have heard of : Fred, Hook, Jazz, Mao, Ness, Pouf, Star (and ET, but that’s 2 onamanopapawatchamacallit)
I like : Sir
** Kitten
Close-Knitten ** - Very close to his/her cat
How about ‘Buzz’?
Mew
I had a cat named Narf. My 8 yr old brother named him.
I LOOOOOVE Sprotch!!
Name thy kitty Sprotch, please???
How bout Puff? 
Or you could ditch the sound-word thing and name him Fetus. 
Seriously though, I agree with EddyTeddyFreddy. The cat will name itself.
Congratulations, BTW! Cats are beautiful creatures.
**Y’golonac!!! **
Yep, that’s definitely a Muffin there. A happy Muffin, it looks like.
I’ve always been of the “cat will LET YOU KNOW what his name is” school of thought, myself. As a general rule, I don’t believe that there’s much evidence for the existence of telepathy, but this is an exception.
** AnimistDragon,**, sounds llike The Cody has a few things to learn about cats, if he thinks that he can impose HIS rules on felines. Boy, is HE in for a surprise! Congratulations on your newest family member, and remember that there’s no such thing as too many chin rubs.
depends on the cat’s personality but mine is named
Cujo
and it 100% fits her.
I named my cat “Scat” so he wouldn’t be intimidated by strangers.
My two best cats are named:
Milhouse
and
Hobbes
