OT: name for a music-loving kitten!

tkelly · Post by **tkelly** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 10:34 am

I'm trying to find the right name for a kitten who loves music. She loves to be sung to and she falls asleep to my whistle playing, even the high notes! She's done that since she first got here. Any kitten who considers whistle music a lullaby needs a good Irish name, but the right one is just not occurring to me. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Just name her Ireland.

How's about 'Colleen' (which, of course, is Gaelic for 'girl')?
I have a cousin called that. On second thoughts,She might not appreciate a kitten having the same name!

Call her Arpeggio. Then when you get tired of the high-falutin' fancy name, you can just shorten it to 'Peggy'.

How about Sionnain (Shannon)?

My grad school roommate and I named our cat Pog mo Thoin, Pog for short. (That way I could, for example, tell my grandmother that Pog means kiss in Irish without having to tell her what the rest of it means.) He (it could easily be a unisex name) was a wonderful cat, who died at about 18 from complications due to diabetes.

There's always Clare or Kerry.

What about Ceilidhe? (sp?)

My Khani cat loved music too. We found this out shortly after we got her...I was listening to one of the Brandenberg Concerti on the computer and she got really excited...jumped up on my lap staring at the box and purring. Whenever I'd play my whistles or recorders, she'd come running, climb into my lap or onto my shoulder and purr...it was so sweet!

How about Britches. As in "full of stitches."

Hmmm . . . how do you pronounce Ceilidhe? And I'm afraid to ask what the rest of Pog's name means . . .

Thanks for the help. I'm reading and thinking here. And talking to the kitten who so far hasn't reacted to any name I've tossed her way.

I'm not sure about "Ceilidhe" but "Ceili" (pronounced KAY-lee) which is a type of Irish dancing. I named my cat Ceili, when I was trying to think of an Irish name it came to me and I really like it. I think my kitty does to. When the right name comes to you, you'll know it!

I don't know if this is helpful, but my mom used to breed Tonkinese kittens. Some of the names were: Somi (like solfege syllables), Meela (also solfege), Midori (the violinist), Yo-yo (Yo-Yo Ma the cellist), and Sebastian (Johann Sebastian Bach). I guess you could say we're a little obsessed.

For no particular reason, what comes to mind is, Katie.

I don't know what color your kitty is, but I've always thought that Guinness would be a good name for a black cat (and Guinness and Irish music go together y'know...)
