What food-related name should I give my kitten?
My last cat was named Mochi, but sadly, Mo stayed with my roommate when I moved out. Now I'm getting ready for a new kitten (!!!!) but I need help with the name. Preferably food-related, but not a requirement (I'd like to name the cat "Bippity Boop," but it's been vetoed by several parties). Other ideas: Lamb Chop/Lamby, Tuna, Duck, Sir Peanut, Mr. Pickles, Lentil/Lenny. It's a boy cat.
Please help!

Ganache. (1/2 chocolate and 1/2 cream) or Vanillate (vanilla+ chocolate)
Chocilla (Pronounced: Choc ill a)

We're going to name our new puppy Gnocchi.

Me, along with many others I'm sure, have been awaiting your announcement on the selected name for your kitten. Did I miss it? So many choices!

When is the christening taking place? Or did I miss something?

I, too, am looking forward to big name reveal! To be honest, even selecting one 'given' name won't be the only name Sarah uses. I would bet at some point the kitten will be referred to as Cupcake, Cookie, Baby, Pumpkin, My Little Dumpling, and the list goes on. My dog knows her name but also answers to about 20+ others!

I went into a market to buy some good tomatoes. I ran right into an adoption event and came home with a kitten. Her name is Tomata.?

It seems that plain ole "Chops" would fit nicely.

We had a cat named Sass- Purr- Illa because my girls thought everyone should have a first,middle and last name.?

This is out there, but after my husband and I visited Amsterdam we vowed if we ever got a dog to name it Bitterballen, Bitte (sounds like BeeTee) for short.

How about Benedict (Ben or Benny, from Eggs Benedict; from Latin blessed)?

How about Freska, as in Pasta Freska...or Fazool! Then you'd have Kitty Fazool!

Since she's a combination of chocolate and vanilla, I'm trying to make Stracciatella work.

I'm still liking the Gumbo :) after seeing the kitty photos.

Cashew (which is, incidentally, what we call our kids since they're half Catholic, half Jewish). I'm also throwing in another vote for Pickles which was what I was going to suggest until I saw you had it listed up there.

Cream Puff (call him Puff as in the Dick and Jane books from elementary school).

My grandparents had a cat named Martini. She was pretty crazy as a kitten and kind of nasty as a cat. So, sadly, there were no second Martinis in my family.

My childhood cat was named Lamb Chop - after Shari Lewis' puppet (the old folks around here will know that ref.) She was a good cat.
Info about the kitten might help inspire a name, food or otherwise - color, markings, etc.

Ragdolls are the best - we have one. Sweetest thing ever. Over time, his dark markings may get darker, making him look more white/tan with black face and “boots.” (Btw, HOW do you post a picture on Hotline??)
Given his coloring and sweet disposition, how about "Babka"? https://firstlookthencook.com/2010/01/15/chocolate-babka/ For both the delectable cake and the hilarious Seinfeld episode (The Dinner Party): https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/04/10-iconic-nyc-foods-of-seinfeld.html
PS SexyLambChopx - does your name come from Shari Lewis too? Too funny!

amysarah, just below the box where you type an answer/response, on the left side, you should see a button to add an image!
amysarahJuly 11, 2016
Aha! Thx, Lindsay Jean - naturally the answer was right there all along!
Anyway, Sarah - when our ragdoll was a kitten, she looked exactly like yours. As she grew, her color became more contrasted. (Btw, I see you coincidentally just posted a piece on babka....fate?)

@amysarah - No, Shari Lewis reference just my husbands pet name for me. The sexy was added because the handle lamb chop was already taken on the site.
