Naming the Kitten

Posted by on November 20, 2009 in Life | 12 comments

I told Starr as we drove out to Rosemary’s farm that I only had one name that I really didn’t want to use. Bella. Not because I didn’t like it, but because Randi’s little sweetie is Bella. I felt she should own the name. In addition JLO’s daughter is Bella, I would feel more comfortable finding a different name.

On the way there we saw the most incredible moon, low to the ground, huge and orange. Wow. I suggested that we could find a moon related name.

“No mom. I knew a Luna once and I will always think of her when I hear that name.”

Okay, not Luna.

Probably because I put it out there,  we kept coming back to Bella. I also suggested Izzie. Starr immediately leapt onto the name Isabelle and wouldn’t even discuss alternatives. So she calls her Isabelle.

Isabelle doesn’t feel right to me, so I am calling her Izzie…sometimes (mostly!) Bella, because I  am consistent like that!!

Bottom line is we ended up with the one name that I said I didn’t want…and it suits her.

  1. Yeah, she has a name. I like Izzie and Bella. Tara’s cat has two names – Kovu and Bubba (or Bubby). I nicknamed him Bubba cause he was so big, and for a cat a little clumsy when he was a kitten!

    Have a great weekend. We are in the beautiful state of VA. Ready to go down to the hotel lobby and get free breakfast!

    • Enjoy your trip!! I have been watching Bella/Izzie and she is a clumsy critter! It’s amazingly adorable…I hope it is only “being a kitten”…ya know?

      Where did Kovu come from?

  2. I am laughing out loud at this! We know so many kids named Bella and Izzie, and if a person doesn’t have a daughter with the name, they often have a dog or cat with that name! :)

    I think she looks like a Lulu, myself. ;) But I’m glad she finally has something that people can call her.

    What about Zeb? I hear that in Isabelle… Sabel? Zebbie? Sabbie?

    You have fun with Bella. :D

    • I really wanted to try harder for a name other than Bella. I love the idea of Zebbie or Sabbie, they work for me. I might try to make the change behind Starr’s back…she is the “visitor” in this situation. Right??

      For the record, I ran the names by Starr and was flatly rejected…but I am thinking: My Cat!

  3. Hey – I got it! It came to me in the car today, which is where my best ideas come. ;)

    Lala!! Kinda like Lulu but playing off of Bella. :D

    • I love it!! Starr says (um) no : ), but give me another week and see where we are at. The cat responds when I call any name in THAT voice, Elvis, JoJo, Buffy…Hey You!

      • LOL!

        I’m sure she’ll be called many unrelated-to-Bella names in the course of her ‘beautiful’ (pun intended) life. :)

  4. hehe!!!

    you guys TOTALLY crack me up!!

    and you know what.. bella wanted you guys to know that if you really like the name bella, and you think new kitty is a “bella”.. then you sheould use it!!!

    isn’t she sweet!!!.. lol!!!

    p.s. you do know where the name came from right??? TWILIGHT… yep, I am soo one of those fanatics…
    .-= Randi´s last blog ..In Shower Body Lotion =-.

    • LOL, thanks for the approval! I did guess that Bella might have been Twilight inspired. : ) Did you see New Moon yet?

      • nope not yet.. hubby has begun a new job (really great.. but it’s been crazy getting the schedule down).. and it’s just been hectic and insane.. maybe this holiday wkend???
        .-= Randi´s last blog ..Most Certainly Taboo =-.

  5. You’re probably going to find that one of them sticks more than the other anyhow, right? :)

    • : ) I know that this will probably be true!!
