_{[After about half an hour of trying to figure out how to post with his phone, Elliot's using the network for the first time. Does he have something important to report? Well, that depends on if cats matter to you or not...]}

My friend found a cat.

_{[Ah yes, the classic 'asking for a friend technique' in action. Always works, never fails.]}

They don't know what to name it, so I'm asking for suggestions. This is what it looks like.

Don't suggest stupid names either! A cat like this deserves a really good name!

No I don't live with him, I live with my valet. If he wakes up I'll punch him in the face.

[yelliot]

You do? It's good, right?

[winecasks]

Does your friend have no names in mind for the cat themselves?

[ You're fooling no one, Elliot. ]

[frombetrayal]

[what the hell, elliot. ...what the helliot]

Umm...
You were close enough to her to know the names of her cats...

[she's confused]

Oh, it was just a question!
You seem to like them... since you knew about her cats, and you're this invested in naming your friend's.

[sheriffing]

It's cute. Probably more dignified than most traditional cat names.

_{[Let him live.]}

They do but they're not good ones...so I wanted to help them out.

[idealisme]

If you live alone I fail to see why it matters that your family do not care for cats.

[yelliot]

Because family is important.

[idealisme]

I anticipate that owning a cat will not diminish your affection for your family.

[Enjolras doesn't even know why he's still trying to make this point.]

[notsolomon]

Putting aside the obvious questions and the name I assume you already have for it, I would go with something like Hypatia or Aesara.

[Yeah he thinks famous philosophers and scientist make appropriate naming material for fluffy kitties.]

dog

[ that's it, that's the suggestion ]

[inaurare]

How magnificent. What about Mallow?

[there aren’t marshmallows so to speak where Linneus comes from, but they have a similarly named sweet, fluffy, pillowy treat - though it can be stickier]

Though I can’t attest to having the best naming sense in the world - I haven’t named many things in my time. But perhaps your friend could select a few of the names they like and build something from that?

A magnificent cat ought to have a magnificent name, don’t you think?

She's beautiful!!

[SO. BEAUTIFUL. AHHHH!!
Okay, calm down... Names. He's supposed to think of names.]

How about Choco?

[No, that's not dark enough.]

Coffee?

[She's still mostly cream, though!]

Latte macchiato?

[Now he's just reaching for straws... Please stop him.]

[notwagging]

what makes a girl name
a girl name?

[winecasks]

List them for me. A name is merely a name. It can be a letter, as my own often is, or a title. That doesn't mean it isn't good.

un: nightray

[yelliot]

What the hell? Are you stupid?

un: nightray

[yelliot]

How do you even pronounce those?

[yelliot]

A name isn't just a name. It can have meaning and a history. A title isn't a name, not in my opinion.

Anyway, they were stupid names...they're not important.

un: nightray

[yelliot]

Right? She's friendly too...really playful...

Wait aren't those drinks?

[yelliot]

Absolutely. She deserves the best name.

Mallow isn't that bad...I'll consider it.
