What to name the new kitty
I am getting a new kitten over Christmas break, and although she has tentatively been named Harriet by my 6 year old niece, I'm thinking she needs a better name. She will only be 8 weeks old when I get her, so I don't think a new name should be too traumatic.

Originally I wanted to name Clementine Marla (from Fight Club), but Natalie shot that one down, and I think Clementine turned out to be a better name anyway. Marla seemed like a good idea but really it's just a lame name for a cat.

I have been mulling over Sasha, probably because I just finished Dylan's book in which there is a panther named Sasha (who is also black just like the new kitty). Other than that I don't have any bright ideas. I feel like all of my friends (from college and in Seattle) have way cool names for their cats and I'm jealous. Like Ben Ciavola's cats are named Navier and Stokes, after an equation that is important in some kind of engineering thing (I'm not a real engineer so I don't know anything about it). I suppose I could name her after something cool from Computer Science. Oooh, or after a character from Star Wars (Mara after Mara Jade?)...hmmm...the possibilities are endless. Throw in your contribution if you feel like it!

EDIT: Aha, paydirt.

The last cat I owned, I didn't name it. It had no name. When I called it, I just made "kissy" or "smoochy" sounds - I know that sounds gay, but I don't know what else to call that noise - and the cat came running.

Funny philby, because i make a fight club reference to my last cat as well. You see, I killed it one night and when I was burying it, I declared: "only in death do cats of project mayhem get a name, this cat's name was O." (Because the markings on its fur made a big O on its sides.)

It was also funny because everyone thought it was cruel not to name the cat, so all my friends had their own names for it.
