Worst cat names ever (and why)
Top of the list has to be Trouble.
I didn't give Trouble her name. Hubby did. Or maybe she gave it to herself. She certainly earned it. The night we found her it took about two hours to catch her, one hour to research how to make kitten formula, another hour to go to a store for ingredients, mix it, and feed her. Lost four hours of sleep that night. The next morning Hubby informed me than her name was Trouble and that she already answered to it. The worst part is that she has lived up to that name ever since and I think that will continue for the rest of her life. Trouble is four years old but she has never grown up. She is still a mean little hard headed kitten. The thing that saves her is that she still has her kitten face. She's just too cute to get mad at. Debra in VA |

Debra in VA IMHO Names can be self-fulfilling prophesies. |

Our bitties got names in a similar manner. They were found in a trash
pile at 3 weeks of age. Their names are Kumani and Tyche. Kumani is an African word for "Destiny" while Tyche is a Greek Goddess of Luck and Chance. Therefore, our finding them was either fated (Kumani) or a twist of luck (Tyche). --Fil |

I forgot to add: Smokey is on my list of worst cat names ever on
account of there are SO MANY Smokeys out there. And we have a Smokey, not because I wanted to call him that, but because he'd been previously named that by the entire military base security operations staff who domesticated him and he answered to it by the time I took him home. TO this day they inquire after Smokey. He's such a hoser, he couldn't possibly be anything other than Smokey. (He got that name due to hanging out in the smoking pit. He's had to quit secondhand smoking since living with me.) --Fil |

Max. I renamed him but had to revert to Max. Oh well. A great cat. Lulu. When I adopted her I changed her name immediately to Loos. The idea of telling *anyone* my cats name was Lulu was unthinkable, heh. -- "The web has got me caught. I'd rather have the blues than what I've got." via Nat King Cole |

Debra in VA Boyfriend would like to put his paw up and offer his name as the worst ever. Ever! He was allowed in the garden by my fierce old girl Kitty Farmcat, which is a fairly sure sign he must be some sort of boyfriend, as she just hates any other cats in her territory. So he was nicknamed "Boyfriend." When it became obvious that he was lost and he eventually moved in he stayed Boyfriend. I tried to rename him Gideon, nope, didn't work at all. Tweed |

Debra in VA Holly's name was Jinx when I adopted her -- Jinx for "bad luck" because she was a black cat, and her original "owner" intended to "dispose of" her. I thought she deserved a much more loving name, so she became Holly -- short for "Holiday cat" because I adopted her the day after Thanksgiving, and therefore between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. I look at her as my "good luck" cat, definitely not a cat that should be saddled with a name like Jinx.
