(Although, I wanna stay as unique as possible. Of course. And a few maybe too tame. I’ve also thought of Mondo, Gonzo (in rememberance of HST) and Garbo.)

I just didn’t realize there was so damn many, and so quickly at that. Pehaps I should start a website just devoted to the “O” ending. :eek:

Whew!! I’m thinking I should give something for the top three that I love mostest. I’ll ponder that and come up with a deadline. Thanks again!  
Oooooh **ultrafilter** , howzabout Shinto (from your Wiki source)? That’s too cool. Then **Duke of Rat** , that’s just wrong. 😃

Hey, remember that employment thingie-ma-bob? 😉 [ul]

Gizmo is taken by a friend’s little rat-type dog. I think Bingo is too, but I’m not sure. Also, I know there are more celebrities out there that I’m forgetting. Anyone able to help with those? Without losing internet privaledges at work. 😛

Lastly (this time), Tito, Whacko and Jacko all remind me of the siblings from another planet. I’ll be steering clear of those lest my someday new cat takes an unsettingly and unhealthy liking to kittens.

“Come here my pretty. Would you like some _milk_?”

Lion-O or Panthro (from Thundercats)?

My cat’s name was Popocatepetl, but we usually just called him Popo.

Naming a cat after a religious tradition seems a bit odd to me, but hey, go for it if you like it.
