Show Me Kitty Birth Certificates With Writing On Them!

[shaz]

In the course of my kitty-collecting adventures, I've acquired many Kitty in my Pocket birth certificates with writing on them, and I have to admit I like seeing what other people chose to call their childhood kittens. There's some serious ingenuity out there - for every Tom or Tiddles, there's a Silver Shine, a Gold Glimmer, a Lucinda or a Clementine.
Words and names are something I love (at one time I was collecting My Little Pony names in different languages) and I somehow ended up starting a collection of kitten names that I had seen online or on certificates that I own. It's nearly as addictive as collecting the actual kittens....
So please, humour my weirdness, contribute to this Very Important Project, and make me happy by sharing pictures of your written-on kitty birth certificates Or you could just list the names if you don't feel like posting photos.

For those who are interested, here's my name collection so far:
Albert, Alex, Alfred, Astor, Baa Baa, Bauble, Bee, Belinda, Bell, Belleny, Bennie, Bertha, Bo Bo, Brandy, Brute, Bunny, Butterfly, Callum, Cassey, Charlie, Chris, Chomp, Chump, Clementine, Colin, Criss, Daisy, Dana, Dash, David, Deborah, Diana, Dippy, Duchess, Edd, Elsa, Emerald Eyed, Emma, Fila, Fluffy, Fly, Fudge, Ginger, Gold Glimmer, Hanna, Happy, Jake, Jenna, Jet, Joe, Josephine, Josey, Jump, Kathy, Katy, Kelley, Kerry, Kevin, Kilie, Kitty, Kylie, Laura, Leapy, Lizzie, Lofty, Lucinda, Lucky, Lulu, Magic, Mary, Maud, Max, Mic, Mikly, Milda, Minni, Minno, Mischief, Mittens, Monty, Moppet, Mouse, Nick, Nikki, Pam, Panther, Patch, Pebbles, Pie, Pinkie, Pinky, Piper, Playfull, Plucky, Poppy, Pounce, Richard, Rolly, Ruby, Sally, Sam, Samantha, Sammy, Sara, Sarah, Sheba, Silver Shine, Smokey, Snowball, Snowflake, Snowy, Sooty, Sophie, Spud, Spudy, Squeakie, Stella, Stretch, Susette, Sunshine, Suzie, Sweety, Tabatha, Tablet, Taika, Tails, Tammy, Tara, Taz, Terese, Theo, Thomas, Tid, Tiddles, Tiger, Tim, Timmy, Tina, Tinja, Tinker, Tinkerbell, Titch, Tom, Tomey, Tommy, Topsy, Twitch, Twitchit, Vilbert, Vivian, Wasp, Whiskey, Zena

Hi Shaz, most of my birth certificates are scanned and on my website. Type J cards have the most birth certificates, so here's a link to them. Scroll to the bottom

[radish]

Hey, I'm the one who was talking to you on the Arena! These are the only ones I filled out as a kid - I had a few other families but didn't write down their names I guess. Top left was for Debbie's (kitty #68) family (looks like I was going for all "D" names but gave up?). Top right was for Emily's (kitty #83) family, and the bottom one was for Rowan's (puppy #115) family, which was all tree themed. The weird doodles are shorthand sketches of the puppies' poses so I would remember which was which!

[shaz]

Hello radish! I like the names you gave your kittens and puppies, especially Despina (that's an unusual name!) and Tracie Marie

[clover]

Ooh, I like some of those!! And the tree theme was cool. Maple is especially nice.

Names on birth certificates I own:

Dancer, Runner, Spook, Sleepy (Kelly's pups)
Tuppence, Wellington (Kirstie's/Harry's kitties)
Buttercup, Treacle, Benji (Georgie's & April's foals)
Rocky, May, Searcher (Georgie's & April's foals)
Peachy, Joy, Chucky, Snuggles (Maggie's pups)
Cleo, Beethoven, Tod, Copper (Sian's pups) --kid clearly had good taste in movies
Ruth, Rachel, Rupert, Rolly (Blanche's pups)
Sally, Samantha, Sophie, Sarah (Amanda's kitties)
Beth, Slipper, King, Frog (Suzie's pups)
Polly, Batty, Eric, Tom (Bella's pups)
Mojo, "Ricky Carmickel" (Tara's & Tom's kittens)
Flower, Rose, Mick (Cody's & Magic's foals) --that's in the fold-up family tree; the card says Rick instead
Edd, Max, Tim, Chairlie [sic] (Sabrina's kitties)
Socks & Princess (Crystal's & George's pups)
Snuggs, Lucky (or Licky?), Tiddles, (illegible, looks like "Bowncor") (Maggie's pups)
...And of course my Dorothy/Sophia/Rose/Meggie quartet, improved from "Furry/Sleepy/Paws/Cuty [sic]" (Blanche's pups) --Boy, to misspell I must've been SO young
...and an animal hospital one that doesn't specify which of the three listed families it's for, and where I can't for the life of me decipher what the child had been attempting to write as names

[shaz]

Thank you Clover for all those names! Some really cute ones there <3
I wonder if Bowncor is meant to be Bouncer?

My list is getting long! So far the most popular name is....Sleepy! Well, what else do you call that one kitten/puppy who's in a sleeping pose? (I had a Sleepy myself, one of Pip's kittens.) Other popular names so far: Playful, Sam, Samantha, Sarah, Timmy, Tom, Daisy, Kitty, Lucky, Snowy, Sophie, Theo, Tiddles, Tina and Tommy.

I love figuring out what people named their animals after (I've seen two Beethovens now!). I saw a set the other day obviously named after the sisters in Little Women.

[clover]

XD!! Bouncer...possibly?? Haha. But see, even I was guilty of just calling the sleeping baby Sleepy! A lot of them are so obviously British too.
Many of the most common ones would seem to correspond to common live-pet names as well. x~3
I did notice that there are Poodles named Meggie, Jo, and Amy, so I dubbed the nameless white Animal Hospital one Beth. :3

Since I have them out while I sort them, here are my pony names (not mine; acquired in my 30s):

13 Georgie & April's foals' names on the card: Mindy, Andy and Caddy
On the family tree: Rose, Peter and Philp [sic]

15 Theo & Jem's foals' names on the card: Bella, Christopher and James
On the family tree: Wendy, Willy and Walter

That's given me a giggle - I hadn't look at them 'til now!

[shaz]

Thank you for those, catcoo!
