Naming help - afghan name chosen, see last post

[Lectral]

Okay, so I was playing with the agency functions, making sure I know how the breeding mechanism works, and to do that, I had to have a breeding to use.  So my little girl was created



And now, she needs a name!  I like unusual names, especially foreign sounding ones, though they do not have to be any specific language, nor do they actually have to mean something.  As long as they look (and sound) interesting.

I can offer a prize to the person who suggests the name I end up choosing.  BUT, Cattery breeding is not open yet.  I have many things to figure out for it still, and I want a few more cats on Secundi before we open breeding.

Prize will most likely be a set of cat toys or a breeding bed, maybe some SG, not sure yet.  Deadline for entry will be one week from today, as that is when she will grow up.  That will not be the norm - but I really didn't want to wait a whole month to see if I goofed something up in the process XD

Just realized that I cannot for the life of me think of a name for my Afghan from the Find-a-mate, so I will add him this thread



I am using Arabic for all of my afghans' names, and I already have a Hasan.  I have studied arabic, so I will be a little picky about the name I choose.  If I choose one of your names for him, I will give a kennel bed (not sure of the size - have to check my inventory XD) as a prize.

There are still a few days left to enter for the kitten's name as well

Okay, I think my kitten has chosen her name - she likes PM's suggestion of Meiko

so, PonyMama, would you like a kitty bed or some toys?

The afghan, though, is being difficult still, so please continue throwing out suggestions for him.  I'll keep his contest open til at least Sunday, after I run the Stamina comp

[PonyMama]

Kitty bed please

and I am glad she likes her new name

[Lectral]

Ok, since springacres has suggested one of the names that I was trying to think of, but kept slipping from my grasp, I think she has won the afghan naming.

I have this bed as a prize, if you want it

[springacres]

Ooh, thank you Lectral!  I would love another bed   *can never have too many breeding items, it seems*

ETA: Just curious, what did you name him?

[Lectral]

*headdesk*  I meant to add that to the previous post, then completely forgot!

His name will be Shihab, as soon as I grab a name tag XD
