I can’t use Photo or Foto because those are durivitives of my Toto. Another friend has also taken Mojo away from me, dammit.

Maybe Dido, since I’m a fan. Hmmm. Ok, I suppose that’s enough of my commenting fix for the moment. I should go get dressed for the waitressing gig tonight and _then_ check back in to see what’s shakin’. 😃 ---

Lego is purrrrrfect for a leg climbing kitten. I have Valentino, or 'Tino for short. He also answers to “No”. ---

**Madd Maxx,** isn’t Avogadro a good name for a mole? 😉 \*\*faithfool, \*\* from your list, I would pick Bizarro. I’m surprised no one mentioned Han Solo or Greedo. Good luck with tips at your waitressing gig. ---

If the cat runs around a lot and knocks things over, you can name it Tornado. ---

I was going to suggest some Italian musical terms, and I see **Zabali\_Clawbane** already gave some. Others: Pizzicato - pronouced peet-zee-CAH-toh. Means “plucked”, as a string. If the cat has patchy fur, it’s perfect. It’s got “cat” within it. Nicknames Pete or Pizza. Presto (fast) (or Presto Change-o) Crescendo (growing) Dolcissimo (sweetest) Fortissimo (loudest, strongest) (Now if you had a slow-moving dog, it would be Adoggio, a pun on “adagio”, meaning “slow”.) Other Italian words: Braggadoccio Pensieroso Pazzo French: Flambeau (it has the “o” sound) Clemenceau ---

More suggestions! Woohoo!! I’ll refrain from commenting on them right now, as I should be getting my butt in the car for the commute. However, I’ve thought of two more on my own… [ul] [li]Margo – as in Channing[/li][li]Pierrot, I think, if I’m pronouncing it correctly[/li][/ul] Thank you all again. And **tMH** , I’ll pass that good vibe along to my customers. Hopefully they’re listening and in a generous mood. ---

> [@Otto](#): > > Amantiado (sp?)…Monty for short. I believe it’s “Amontillado.” Great if you’re an Edgar Allen Poe fan (not likely if you’ve ever read “The Black Cat,” but “A Cask of Amontillado” is a great story.) I see “Monstro” is taken. How about “Sumo”? (I would consider it an honor, as that was my late kitty’s name. And, no, he wasn’t fat.) Orlando – like either the city or the Virginia Woolf novel. Platano, if he’s a yellow kitty. (Or if he’s well hung.) Oro – also a yellow kitty. Orgasmo. But I wouldn’t recommend it. ---
