I need 200-300 names. Name nerds--this is your time to shine!
I recently started working for the local animal shelter. They take in between 2 and 3 hundred cats a year, and part of the 501c3 or a state requirement says that each cat must have a "unique" name. They have asked me to choose all the names (love it--can you believe I'm going to get paid for this?) Here is their criteria:
Names should be easy to spell and pronounce.
Spanish names are great (we have many Spanish speaking adopters), as are names from other cultures, provided they are respectful to that culture, and conform to the easy to spell and pronounce dictate.
"Please nothing weird like the names you give your foster kittens.' Ouch and lol. (I will boast that most of my adopters keep the weird names I've given them.)
No repeats, and no variations like Lizzy, Lizzie, Lizzey, etc.
Please avoid names like Bella, Luna, Loki, and Thor--the most common cat names in the area, per our vets.
It is only January, and after naming both feral cat rooms, we are already out of Egyptian gods. It won't take long to go through the Greek, Roman,, and Norse pantheons.
Please help the tiny tabbies, and send us some fantastic names.
