Pet name & Columbia accident

What’s your opinion of a name I thought of?

Today I bought two Main Coon kittens from Columbia Maryland.

In light of the days events, I thought about naming one of them CHADWIC.
Chawala as in: Kalpana Chawla
Husband Rick Husband
Anderson Michael Anderson
David David Brown
William William McCool
Ilan Ilan Ramon
Clark Laurel Clark

Neat.

Go for it. It’s a nice personal reminder.

I have a Challenger sticker on my telescope case. And pins of some of the Apollo and Gemini missions.

Even have a Soviet ers Soyuz pin and patch.

Well, I’ll end my rambling hijack.

Yes, I like your idea.

CHADWIC is a good name, but ask yourself, “do I want to be reminded of the Columbia disaster every time I call my cat?” Don’t name your cat CHADWIC unless you’re cool with that idea.

Good point.

Yeah, I know; it’s something I’m pondering.

Kinda the reason I am opening some dialog here

You have to give me one of those kittens. I’ve been wanting another Maine Coon since my dear Misha died so very many years ago. There’s nothing quite like a pony-sized cat to snuggle with.

Your welcome to visit. Upon leaving you will be frisked at the door
