After I married and Harry ran away *sniff*, we got my husband a black kitty from the SPCA and named him Orko.

For those of you who might wonder why the name sounds familiar, there was an old He-Man cartoon with one of the characters who was small and flew around like a ghost. This character, Orko, was a clutz and always wreaking havok.

When we came home with our little loud bundle of joy (read my first thread lol), that night, we heard a crash and our little buddy came to our room crying his head off and limping. The poor little guy jumped ontop a tv tray and it collapsed on his leg.

I think you need to get your kitten before deciding on the name. Sometimes they seem to name themselves with their personality, like Aris described her Orko. I had picked out the name Buzz for my kitty, but once I got him it just didn't fit. I choose Footsie becuase he is constantly underfoot, and when he was very young he would seek out shoes to play with/in and he would always attack my feet. We joked that he was playing footsie and it stuck.
