I just adopted a new kitty and I'm taking him home tomorrow after he gets fixed. I'm trying to think of a name for him, but I'm drawing a blank. I'd like to name him something aviation or math related, but I'm open to anything. Right now, I'm leaning towards calling him Mobius, or Moby for short. What are any of your suggestions?

If it helps, he's about a year old, average sized, medium hair, and he's brown and white. His name at the pound was Oreo, for some reason lost on me.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Bernoulli...aviation and math related.

Or Rhapsody in Blue?

  B4e-Forever New Frontiers  

Math related... hmmmmm ... How about 'Square Route' ?  

When I saw your user name, Maybe call him 'Nanook'. My nick name was 'Nanoo' because I couldn't pronounce my 'M's and my 'T's when I was little.

Cheers,

Name it Secant........

What crack you be smokin in Lake Zurich?  

What about "Boots" or "Chinook"! ahhh or maybe "Glimli"..

Why Bernoulli's Principle of course involving fluid dynamics...like the air flow over and under an airplane wing condensed into a nice equation.  

As for the crack, I'd show some respect boy...I don't get my crack from LZ, it now comes fresh from the nether-regions of West Lafayette, Indiana...and it better be quality shit, 30k a year out of state!

An Alaskan Cat deserves an Alaskan Name:

Yukie . . . Yukon River
Denali . . . self explanatory
Koyuk . . . Koyuk River
Nanook . . . the Provider    . . . Nookie for short   

Cosine

ATIS

Clearance

Transponder (Transponder, squawk 1200!, good kitty!)

or how about Delta...an airline, a designation of airspace, and a common term in mathematics.

I say Delta.

Quoting Aerobalance (Reply 3): Name it Secant........

That was actually one of the names I originally thought of.

Quoting ANCFlyer (Reply 6): Nanook . . . the Provider . . . Nookie for short

We were joking about that in the office earlier today. Maybe if it was an all white kitty, but I just couldn't name a brown and white cat after a polar bear, could I? Plus I don't have that much alma mater/employer pride.


I also like Bernoulli (Bernie for short) and Gimli.

Decisions, decisions.

How about Pi? Short, but... well.... short. Hmm...

Oh, wait... I've got it... mu! Kind of a play on "mew." Whaddya think?

Okay... you can stop throwing things now.

Sounds like ERAU crack...   When will u be home in LZ Town?

How about "ted" or "Lufty" ?

How about Moseph or Joseph?   

That's Mo and Jo for short BTW if you haven't figured it out

Quoting FlyingNanook (Thread starter): after he gets fixed.

Was he broken when you bought him? I'd take him back. Or is this work being performed under warranty?

Quoting FlyingNanook (Thread starter): I'd like to name him something aviation or math related

Well, considering that you are "getting him fixed", I guess naming him "multiplication" is out of the question, right?

Seriously, how about "Aileron" or "Airfoil", or maybe even "Rudder", but that sounds too much like "Udder". "VeeOne?" "Rotate?" "Turbine?" "Touchdown?" "Vapor?"

Quoting ANCFlyer (Reply 6): . . . Nookie for short

Quoting Saxdiva (Reply 9): How about Pi?

A kitty named Nookie, or Pi. Hmmmm,.......... I think that's been done before.

I think pets should have normal names. Yours sounds like a Charlie.

My cat was named Siber. I loved that name. He got put to sleep a few weeks ago because of Diabetes and he was only 8...so sad.

My other cat, who is still alive, is named Pickle, don't as me why my sister chose that name...I have no idea. Those are just two ideas to go on.

I'm going to go out on a limb here. Keep it simple:

Pussy.

Quoting AsstChiefMark (Reply 21): Puss Puss. Robert Evans' cat's name on his cartoon, "Kid Notorious."

Pus Pus is perfect!

No pun intended.

i had a dog once named pythagoras

mom was an aerospace engineer, hence the idea...

Drambouie (strong, sweet, memorable, sits there in wait)

I hate cats! I hate how they act all pompus and like i'm something they just scraped off the bottom of their paw...

There is a secret to get a cat back, stick a piece of sellotape over its arse hole and watch it try to get it off... its tongue wont reach and so it has to plant its back end on the ground and shuffle along like a dog with worms to get it off...

Your an a$$ h**e.

My cat acts the same way, but all cats have a soft side. They'll cuddle up in your lap for a nap, and be very affectionate and loyal if you treat them well.

Try it some time...You might see cats are not as bad as you make them out to be.

It depends more on how you make them. Tamales are pretty good but you have to boil the meat first or they won't be tender enough!   
Ground up like hamburger meat is good if you want to go the enchilada route, though. Just add plenty of sauce, it's kind of a "gamey" meat. Ironically, it tastes like chicken.

How about naming the cat Zyrtec?

Or if there were 2 of them "Kibbles and Bits"!

Now THAT would be funny!

Clearly you have absolutley NO sense of humour... I guess i wouldnt expect you to, you're a cat lover. You are just as pompous as the darn animal.

Oh, spell check... "A$$" is spelt "Arse" as in "S12PPL Smells like a cats arse hole"

Another demented sole..... or does your g/f approve of this also when you do it to her...

And I can spell ass however I want, thanks.

And how would you know what a cat's ass smells like? Spend a lot of time back there?

Quoting Aerobalance (Reply 41): or does your g/f approve of this also when you do it to her...

she did when I did...  

You could name him Cessna.
That would be a good name for a bird actually.....

Lets see, cats zoom around a room super fast when the kitty crazies strike...
Perhaps you could name him Voo Doo after that old fighter jet. Was it a F104?
I like that! Voo-Doo is a cool name for a cat!
Piper? Like a Piper Warrior or Cherokee.

Wtf, so your saying that taping stuff on cats butts is funny, and that if we dont think it is, we dont have a sense of humor? Wow you have some serious issues, go find a doctor please...

And I, nor S12PPL are not cat lovers, we just care for them and not torture them, acting like a aholes... If you get your own enjoyment from doing that to your cats then you should get a taste of your own medicine.

Hey, forget about it! It was all just in fun! I'd never do any of that stuff anyway, just like for people to smile and have some fun for a while! Sorry if you found it distasteful, but I feel like I am among friends here and just do it to rattle some cages! See my post earlier in the thread for real suggestions for names for little Kitty.

BTW, how are we supposed to know what to name the Kat without seeing it? WE DEMAND A PHOTO OF SAID KAT!!!

What about Mats?   

Or Spanky?   

Cheers
Mats

Spanner?

*filler**filler**filler**filler**filler**filler**filler*

You could always name it "Cat". That way you always know what animal it is and when you call it's name, other animals (or people) around your house don't get confused either...

i have a cat named Oreo, but she is black and white. brown and white doesnt quite qualify.

I can PROMISE you with 100% certainty that he's never done that to a cat.   It was a JOKE- something he found on a website (www.b3ta.co.uk if you're interested), not something he's ever done or (AFAIK) ever will attempt  

Quoting Aerobalance (Reply 41): Another demented sole..... or does your g/f approve of this also when you do it to her...

Don't think I would, sorry   Read above.

Quoting ORFflyer (Reply 43): she did when I did...

   Hmm, doubt that for some reason...  

Just to clear things up; my boyfriend doesn't torture animals... but I'm sure he can stand up for himself when he comes back to the thread sometime...  

Hmmm, math related???

Look really the name is not going to matter... its going to do something really stupid and force you to give it a nickname which is going to stick and then you'll forget the really name in the first place...

We just call my cat "fireballs." Go figure!

But if you're really stuck, might I suggest the following:

CHUCK NORRIS (Math related because Chuck Norris is the only person ever to be able to divide by zero)

INTEGER (just sounds cool)

BODMAS (sounds kinda quirky)

Charlie Uniform November Tango (you could shorten it!)

otherwise just go with the honarary naming:

NEWTON
EINSTEIN
HAWKING
CHUCK NORRIS

Fairbanks.

If he is a spirited kitty.

My friend's cat is called Luna

If you had a dog you should call it "deefor"........ "deefor dog"

Not sure what cat would be......

"Seefor" or "kayfor"......
