Smart people can be stupid too

Hi everyone! I hope this is ok (coming from a long time lurker with maybe 10 posts to my name) please ignore if not.

I'm trying to choose a name for a (hopefully) soon to be mine cat and thought it might be a particularly Buffista friendly task.

She is a 2 year old medium-haired tortoiseshell (mostly shades of grey) with a sort of... beastly look? My DH and I have been brainstorming (mostly Lovecraftian Erdrich horror type names so far, with a couple of muppet names thrown in for good measure) but we haven't come up with anything yet.

Does anyone want to play Name That Cat?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I would be tempted to go with Beasty or Beastly.

Aw, I like tortoiseshells. The last one I (sort of) had we called Patches after the zombie cat on Buffy.

Nice to see you, Helena

Hi Helena. How about Halfr Graybeard?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Is this the point where I mention that I warned sarameg not to name her cat Loki?

And I concurred. The words "tempting fate" were almost certainly used.

Awesome suggestions! Khoshekh is an awful lot to live up to (/hopefully not live up to...). It's also a kind of fantastic name though. Most of the names we've been throwing around verge on unpronounceable so these are all definitely a step up from that. We were also looking at Spider-Man villains (since we're hoping she'll enjoy slaying some basement spiders) but nothing jumped out.
