What’s in a name?
We have a new addition to our family! A kitten was found at my work today and needed a home. It was a funny coincidence because Paul and I were talking just last night about the possiblity of getting a cat for Christmas. He saw Dr. Heekin today (our vet) and was given a round of meds and blood tests. He has a very very small heart murmer, but she said he should outgrow it and it’s not a big concern. He also has 6 toes on each front foot! Dr. Heekin said it’s common in the Northeast (my aunt has had cats with 6 toes), and it’s not a concern, just a little something extra!
We are very happy to have him! Megabyte is getting used to him; she’s been sniffing him out a lot. No disagreements yet, they seem to like eachother!
He’s very snuggly and we think he’s very happy to be home. We do need a name for him though! Danielle from my work suggested Pixel (to go with Megabyte’s computer-type name); we could call him Pix for short. Paul is iffy about the name since it sounds like Pixie, and he wants him to have a manly name.
Any suggestions for names??

How about Ram? Goes with the computer theme and also Paul’s SUV. Also sounds masculine. Could also use Nitro for a remote tie to the Ram SUV.

Paul’s dad thought of Cisco. We really like it until all of Philip’s friends said “isn’t that the rapper that wrote the thong song?” Ok…that name is out.

We came up with Chip. What do people think?

Chip sounds like a kid on a 1960’s sitcom. I still like Ram.
