Tupelo (if you’re an Elvis fan) Oregano (if you’ve ever seen the _Andy Griffith Show_ episode in which Sheriff Taylor keeps getting served spaghetti with that “secret ingredient” in the sauce, you can pronounce the word with the drawn-out exasperated drawl he uses) DiMaggio (if you’re a baseball fan) Toronado (a former Oldsmobile model) Coronado (explorer) Orono (home of the University of Maine Black Bears) Virago (if the cat spits and hisses a lot) [Canyonero](http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/thesimpsons/canyonero.htm) ---

I see someone took Monstro, so I left that one off but apologies if I repeat any others. **Topo Gigio** - Probably better suited for a mouse **Velcro** - I actually had a cat named this. When she was a kitten she would attach to you rather quickly and you had to peel her off like Velcro. It wasn’t as original as I thought since I have seen a couple other cats with the same name. **Annato** - May be good for an orange cat. **Nono** - I have a cat named Nona (for 9) but it usually comes out “Nono! Don’t do that!” Paco Taco Mako ---
