I'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.

"Squeaker""Monkey"
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)

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!
