August 26th, 2010 04:58 pmI'm trying to come up with grown-up names for Monkey (tuxedo male) and Squeaker (calico female). Squeaker doesn't squeak nearly as often as she used to, and it turns out everyone has a cat named Monkey, so I think they both deserve something else.
Many names would work for Squeaker, but so far I think my favorite is Caliope. She needs something that's a bit pretty. Monkey is hard to choose because monkey is actually a good name for him -- he's an adventurous little climber, he clings to me like a baby monkey, and occasionally he'll stick his forepaws in the air in a monkey way when he's getting belly rubs.
Any and all ideas greatly appreciated!

1. Inanna & | Enki (Sumerian gods appearing in Snowcrash) |
2. Caliope & | Hammond (they're both organs) |
3. Sketch & | Escher |
4. Yara | |
5. Murphy* | |
6. Musette | |
7. Maymun (pronounced my-moon; turk. for monkey) 8. Tenzing (after Norgay) |
