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.
- Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr[1] von Braun [shortened to Wernher von Braun for most, Wernher only to me]
- 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.]
