[kenllama]

Fates willing, Emily and I will be adopting a kitten tomorrow. That means we need a name for the cat

I've always been partial to Loki. Even for a girl. ^_^

I agree that it's a beautiful name, but it is on our list of names forbidden on the grounds they totally constitute "asking for it"! I urge you to bear this in mind a few months from now. (btw, have I offered you my congratulations? Love!)

*laughs uproariously, as had not first read the other comments*

[marmalade_girl]

Fair enough. I hadn't thought of it that way! :laughs:

Hermes (don't care that it's a male name)
Loki (same)

And, of course, you can always peruse Wiki:

Hermes is an interesting idea (and wouldn't be our first gender-bent name; Bast was a boy). For Loki, see above. It's right below Kali on the Inadvisable Name List!

Just remember - Hermes is also the god of thieves! ;-)

[kenllama]

This is a good point. Also of travelers, which is not one looks for in a cat!

[jtglover]

Durga.

Atalanta sounds like a lovely and appropriate name to me. :) Congrats on your new feline arrival!

I've always been a fan of "Piwacket".
