Oui Oui
I am so happy to play, and I am always ready anytime anyone wants to have some fun, so the mom started calling me "Oui Oui", cause I never say no. In fact, when The Girl left to go to collich, the mom was worried I would be lonely, so she got me my very own pet kitty to play with and that's why we gotcha'd Mica Minnie Moo. I have other nicknames too. Twinkletoes because of the flash of my feet when I run. Sugar Bee cause I am sweet and always busy. Whippy Tail after my famous whippy tail dance, and a few others the mom is too old to remember.
Carl
My full name is Carlos Raphael Camaro. The Girl named me after a boy she knew and the Baltimore Orioles Slugger, Rafael Palmeiro. Being 5 years old, she didn't quite get the name right but that's ok cause the mom didn't spell it right either! Baseball player or sports car, I think they are both manly!
Mica Minnie Moo
My name was almost Maiko (Japanese for an apprentice Geisha) but the mom and Girl liked the name the shelter gave me better, so they left it at Mica (which means "beloved"). There is a family tradition, any tortie or calico must have "Minnie" in their name, in honor of the mom's grannie. Moo was my nickname and since Mica Minnie didn't sound right, it was added to my full name. Miss Hiss, Waddles and Chunky Monkey are more of my nicknames. I am not sure why.
Julie
She was sweet. She was adorable. And she needed a name quickly. So she was named Jewell. (The girl at the vets spelled it with 2 "L"s.) Her nicknames are Julia, Juliette, Julianne and La B*tch.
We'd love to read your stories in a comment or a post! We hope you had fun reading our stories.

We LOVE the ways ya all got yer names! An we kinna wondered about where "Twinkletoe Tails" came from...
You sure do have a lot of names and nicknames! I enjoyed your stories. I call my girl Sweet Pea sometimes, and Baby Girl. Mickey is Mickleberry, and Rocky is the Rock Star. =^..^=
Um, my name's Spitty. You figure it out.
Love the stories behind your names and nicknames!
We love your nicknames! Oui Oui seem to fit best, though. :)
My human had my name before she had me! She knew she was going to put me on the internet and punk rocker that she is, she had been in the habit of naming her cats things like "Asshole" and "Harlot," and she wanted something more family-friendly. But trust me, I grew into my name very quickly.
Love the naming stories. Alex was given to my husband by his girlfriend Allison at the time. They named the cat after her... which is a tad awkward when you are the new girlfriend, but a million years later, Alex is just Alex
I love your naming stories and think that the name Jubilee is beautiful even though it wasn't chosen :-)
We told Archie's story today too!
What great nicknames you have. Mum had chosen us (un-named at the RSPCA) and while she waited for them to do checks on her to make sure she wasn't a mad cat killer before she could take us home she chose our names. The name Lucy was given to me because I'm a quick mover and Hannah was given to her because she was more sedate. Boring or what!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
You kitties sure have some great names. We love hearing how you got them. We didn't get around to doing this post on the The Tabby Club. Some day we will explain some of our names but our person is not good naming cats. Have yourselves a great day.
That was good! I,ve always been Brian though ever since I was first snatched from a Christmas Tree farm by by rescuers!
Thanks for sharing all of your names and nicknames!!

Hey Oui-Oui, did you know that, in France, the English children's character NODDY is called OUI-OUI?
MMM, we are thrilled to hear that you too have a Japanese name, like all of us!
P{urrs,
The Chans
Those were very interesting stories on how you got your name.
I know you read about my GOTCHA, well my name was Abby and Mom knew I had been through so much upheaval she didn't want to change that, so she kept calling me my name. I would have thought she was nuts if she had called me something else cuz I made it pretty darn clear to her what the rules were.
One of them was NOT to change my name.

I loved your stories. My name is pretty obvious. It is CalicoRose and I am a calico cat! I am not sure how in the world I got the nickname of Trouble though.....
We sure enjoyed learning how you all got your names.
Bravo! We love the stories of how you got your names, dear friends!
Sorry we did not participate in your "What's in a Name" event. Our dad was away on a business trip, and ran out of time. :(
Hugs to you all!
Sammy ("Dootie") and Moosey ("Cootie")
When Jen found me she called me puppy while she tried to find my owner. After no success, she decided to call me Beau, but I was such a pain in the butt that quickly changed to Rumpy. woo woo woo!
