I adopted both of my cats at the same time last November – they even shared a cardboard carrier when moving into my home! So of course I had to find two names that go together.
I thought about Doctor Who names first, but which pair of companions should I choose?
Maybe 50 years ago. Amy and Rory?
Too recent. Tegan and Turlough?
They were never actually a couple. That’s about when I remembered that everybody knows I’m a big Doctor Who fan, so nobody would be surprised if I named the kitties after Who characters. Naturally, I thought about Star Wars next.
Now we’re getting somewhere, but people would still know where “Luke” comes from. How about … Corran and Mirax?
I have no problem naming my kittens after a Jedi and his smuggler wife! And as a bonus, these names are geeky enough that most “entry level” geeks won’t figure it out.
Now if only I knew somebody with a pet named Booster …
