I adopted a kitteh on Friday evening, and will get to pick him up on Monday. Excitement! Like any first-time pet owner, there is a little fear that the poor thing will drop dead in a few days. For me, though, I have a greater problem: I have a tendency to supply untitled things with horrible, stupid names when given the opportunity. I have always known that if I ever come in possession of a pet, I would—not might, would—baptise it with a name that would get it beaten up on the playground if it were a six year-old human.

Rather than keep a mental list of possible names, this post will help me remember when the moment of choice comes. It will also help you see how doomed this cat really is.

1. Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr^[1] von Braun [shortened to Wernher von Braun for most, Wernher only to me]
2. Any character from the Mega Man series. Favourites include Mega Man, Crash Man, Doctor Wily, Flash Man, Magnet Man, Metal Man, Tomahawk Man, Yamato Man, and Proto Man. [Guts Man was considered, but would be better for the cat at the shelter I met that was 16 lbs.]
