Cat names

Over the weekend, my mom, sister and I visited the Montgomery County Humane Society after we fell in love with my friend's dog Charlie (well, my sister not so much) and were still on our animal high. We've been to the shelter many times before and have always walked away rather depressed, empty-handed, and smelling like dog poop. But this time my sister and I managed to convince our mom to fill out an application for a 4 month old tabby kitten named Pueblo. Here's a picture of him from the website:

I guess this was taken a while ago or something because it's a horrible picture/doesn't really look like him. Or maybe he's just not a photogenic kitty. In real life, he looks a lot more like his brother Sioux:

Adorable, right? Gah, I love tabbys (tabbies?).

The dinner conversation tonight was about what we would name the cat. Some hilarity ensued, especially when we went through all our favorite Harry Potter characters. Here are some of the suggestions:

Snarf (suggested by me) after the Thundercats character. Downvoted because my sister said it sounded too much like barf and my mom said it was too hard to pronounce.

Winston (suggested by me) because it's such a classy, baller name. My sister liked it but Mom thought it was too hard to pronounce (noticing a pattern here?).

A lot of Harry Potter names. Crookshanks, Remus, Dobby, Harry, and Dumblydore were all mentioned but the funniest ones were Hagrid and Snape.

Zhong guo ren (lol) ...I'm not sure why, I think we were just being silly at this point.

Tokyo (suggested by me) and London (suggested by Mom)

Charcoal (Mom)

Lots of food names: Sushi (me), Pepper (me), Tuna (me), Sesame (Maria), and Wasabi (Maria). We eventually ruled out Wasabi because both Maria and I hate the real thing so much.

Lady GaGa (me). This one still makes me chuckle.

Tommy and Tiger (both Mom)

Me: Tiger is so cliche...so many cats are named Tiger.
Mom: But what about Tiger Woods?
Me: Tiger Woods is a man, Mom.

We eventually all decided we liked the name Sesame a lot, so for now I think that's what we're going to name him. I dunno though, I still think Lady GaGa suits him pretty well.

The red wine's got him gaga
