WANTED: Names for an undetermined number of cuties. As you might remember, in the Gatchamaniac stories, I've got a room for Fennec foxes to live in; it's large enough to hold six Vatican Cities. But how many Fennecs can live there? (Mind boggling, isn't it?) More importantly, what names will they have? (Yeah, I've got one of those really thick baby name books....but I really don't want to risk saddling a kit with Herleen or Tzefanyahu.) So, here's your chance! Give me some names to use, and you'll help ensure that little cute-balls won't have an identity crisis when they appear in a Gatchamaniac story! Thanks.

I think something "geeky" like Morton would be cute.

Yeah, I can see that....Morton trying to use one of the Gatchageeks' laptops to surf the net...

I like the name Skylar (it's one of my kitties' names), but I also like Clyde. I'm sure I'll think of more as soon as I go do something else.

One my favourite names and the hero of my NaNo trilogy: Lachlan. OK, other names for cutie guys from non-English-language cultures, for variety: Sasha, Zlatko (I really like this name, it's slavic and means "golden"), Paris (in Greece it's a boy's name), Odd (norwegian, I find it very funny!). And for girls: Mila (slavic, means "sweet"), Snezana (slavic, means "Snow White" but it's a very common girls' name), Hará (Greek, means "joy"), Carmen. I hope you like at least some of them!

Hmm ... Clyde needs and Inky, Pinky, and Blinky Hunter? Lancelot? Wallace Huntington the Third? Abercrombie and Fitch?

Rimmer, Lister, Kryten Cat, Kochanski and Holly... (yeah, I'm watching Red Dwarf atm, can't you tell?)

Heh, there is also my standard go-to for naming... Fred. (when I was at college the first time, we even had a dorm that was nicknamed Fred the Dorm & no I was not responsible for that.) Hmmm... how about Kiki or Spot? I had a dog named Flopsy when I was a kid...

ok maybe it's because I just drew the Cessna, but their ears make me think of Ace and Flaps as names too... Maybe Baron...

Mylari -- I liked Fred, too -- he put in an appearance in the Bradbury's Jar prompt "freeze". (He's a kit who suffered a mid-air, head-on collision with Ginger. They're both okay, BTW.)

Baron would need old timey flight goggles and a scarf

Y'know, I think I remember that one now. Don't know how you keep track of them all...

It just comes naturally to me. Come to think of it, I wish there was a trick to it -- I could've made a small fortune with memory-improvement books!

For some reason Fallon sounds like a good fox name. City names can be fun to use to. Like Atlantis, Austin, savannah, Crockett. Just a few off the top of my head.

I think Tesla is a pretty sweet name.

When I was younger I wanted ferrets named Han and Leia. Let's see... Honey, Fifi, Whiskey, Lumpy (don't ask).
