It's kitten season and we need names

If you’re a scifi or fantasy fan, you’ve got entire universes of names to use.

My Maggie’s full name is Magrathea Ananke. Magrathea being the legendary lost world of planet builders from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Ananke being the Greek goddess of Fate and Destiny.

When I was a child, my older sisters had a mother cat they named Nemo, short for Mnemosyne, and named her kittens (two short litters) after the nine Muses: Clio, Callie, Poly, Terp, etc.

How about Asteroids?

Lurch
Cousin Itt
Wednesday
Pugsley
Grandmamma? :dubious:

Old school Doctor Who companions:

Tegan, Sarah, Turlough, Nyssa, Jo, Peri, Liz, Harry, Romana, Adric, Leela.

Spices.
Mom = Raquel (Rack)
Babies: Anise, Basil, Cinnamon, Dill, Fennel, Ginger,…

Or Allspice, if anice brings out too much snickering.

Then Honey, and Jerk* and MSG** to go on if needed. How many kittens in this litter anyway?

  • you already know which kitten gets that name

** shush, you can use Accent, but only as a nickname

Miss Kitty Fantastico

Beatrix Potter: Flopsy, Mopsy …

Beverly Cleary: Ramona, Beezus, Ribsy …

Hey, O.P. has the hugely pregnant tabby had her 48 kittens yet? Pictures would help inspire us.

Also: mining The Simpsons should hold you through several kitten seasons. Please name the dumbest one Ralph. Mom can be Mrs. Krabapple.

Umm, Kitten season?!?

I’d use the 1992 US Olympic “Dream Team.”

Magic Johnson
Charles Barkley
Chris Mullin
John Stockton
Karl Malone
Clyde Drexler
Michael Jordan
Scottie Pippen
Larry Bird
Patrick Ewing
David Robinson
That other guy who clearly did not belong with these others but the rules required they have one “amateur” player and they picked him over Shaq, because Coach K.

Probably don’t want to use that last one.
