[QUOTE=Sternvogel] _Zingiber officinale_, from the [scientific name of the ginger plant.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger) He could be “Zinger” for short. [/QUOTE] My god. Now I need to get another cat just so I can name him Zingiber. I hope that’s with a soft “g” 'cause I’m pronouncing it with a soft g. ---

[QUOTE=Freudian Push Up Bra] **Sternvogel** ; how can you tell from that silly picture on the front page? Or is the background that gives me away? [/QUOTE] Well, I figured that if Anna Kournikova is your breast twin, you’d pretty much _have_ to be female… Actually, any doubt was removed when you linked to some other photos of yourself in a picture thread a few months back, as well as when you mentioned your first name in a discussion of misspellings and mispronunciations. By the way, since it’s already May 1st in Australia, Happy 18th Birthday! Hope you get some nice presents, and that you soon find a feline companion. ---

Wow, someone’s been paying attention! Thank you **Sternvogel**! Looks like cat getting will be postponed until after July because I’ll be interstate for near two weeks and I just don’t think it’s fair to leave a beastie on their lonesome for that long even if someone is feeding them etc. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-getting-a-cat-wanna-name-him/401702.md?page=3)
