I loved all the names suggested even "Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer," names I'd never heard but which I was told are from the Rock Opera "Cats."
Now I (as in Lyn) didn't choose the winning names. My characters, twin sister, Cindy and Mimi, first graders, had to choose. Fortunately I know them very well, having known them since they were born (in my mind GRIN).
Mimi went first--because she always does! And she said, "My kitten looks like a Twinkie, my favorite dessert in my lunch bag at school."
And then Cindy said, "Oh, then I'll call mine Peanutbutter because that's my favorite part of lunch.And my kitty is that golden color too!"
My thanks to Sheree who suggested Twinkles which made me think of Twinkie! And to Terry who suggested the name peanutbutter. I have Terry's email address.
BUT SHEREE, I NEED YOU TO EMAIL ME AT l(dot)cote(at)juno(dot)com.
Send me your mailing address and I'll send you (and Terry) an autographed copy of
This is my latest book, out now at a Wal-Mart near you. And it's the first in a series about three Habitat for Humanity homes built for three families in Wisconsin. If you click the photo of the book cover in the right column, you will be taken to a page where the story and an excerpt are.
Some of the names on the list below which were suggested were utterly delightful and so clever! But I had to let Mimi and Cindy name them, right? (As the names came in, I put * near the ones that I thought little girls might pick).
See what you think of them. What ones are your favorites and what do you think of Mimi and Cindy's choices?

thats so cool I had a cat called twinkle once only my brother was learing german and called it mitzi so it ended up with kitty.
I like how the twins named them I was wondering what there age was cos what we as adults choose is so different. as a 5 year old I named our dog nip because of Nip in the readers we were reading.
That's it exactly, Jenny. I should have told their ages. My bad. :-(
WOW! That is sooooo cool that you had that many participate, Lyn! I'm really not creative...lol. My sister named our old dog (Molly Belle Star Cerasoli) and the one we got after her (Madeline) and our cat (Buster Baxter)!! Lol...so as you can tell, I'm definitely not the creative one! However, these names...some of them were so cool!
Congratulations to the winners, you deserve it for your clever names!!
Talk to you soon, Lyn,
Hannah
So many names, should print the list out in case I need ideas. The kittens right now are my wallpaper on my computer at work. They are adorable. Sounds like good names. A hard decision for you and yours for sure. Juanita W
