Name for New Family Member
Submitted by Dreamweaver on Fri, 2008-01-04 09:07.
We lost one of our two loved cats (Plato) before Christmas to FILV (Feline Infectious Luchemea Virus) even though he had his injection 
.
After some tears, we decided we would get a new friend for our other female cat (Athena), so we rescued this lil guy from the RSPCA death row.
We're having a hard time deciding on a name (looked up billions!) - the closest we have is Byron.
We are not after an obvious name and NO - 'craybait' is NOT on the list :)
Any suggestions?

My old nextdoor neighbour had a Black Staffy that he named Byron cause he was a mad keen
Kangaroo's supporter, was bloody funny when he left them.

You get used to the mung beans
and splinters do come out eventually
My mum and stepfather live in Denmark and they fit that description,
but I wouldn't call them complete hippys as they are educated and have showers.
Unlike the tree people that come out of the woodwork at the Easter show.
