What is Your Savannah Cat's Name and Why

Sunny

Loyal Servant
An aspiration and fascination of mine since childhood was around Egyptology and how the early dynasties took immigrants from all over Africa and ME from climate change and formed one of the first great civilizations.

There's no money in archaeology (IMO), but studying the past and history is something that has great appeal to me since childhood along with computers and technology (my field).

Therefore, my cats are all named after gods in the Egyptian pantheon and deserving of worship.


Ra - The Sun God, ruler of the day. The most important of the Egyptian gods. His name is fitting, as an EM/DSH hybrid he has golden eyes with a slight hue of green, glittered fur, orange spots, bright pink paws, nose, ears. Extremely athletic, there is no height he's unable to reach and uses this to escape the playfulness of his brother. He is aloof, predictable, and prefers the worship of humans over the company of other cats.

Anubis - Lord of the Underworld and watcher over the dead. He is what you would expect from an EM/DSH hybrid being green eyed, extremely ticked tri-color coat, black spotted, rib bars, black pawed, inquisitive, loyal, athletic and confident.

Isis - The Throne Goddess, the symbol of the pharaoh, protector and helper of others. As the only female and SV in the household, she is both symbolic and royalty. She helps Anubis as an outlet for his energy and vice versa. She is symbolic for the household as she will be the only female. Depending on how her personality evolves as she gets into adulthood, she may also take position as Queen (hierarchy, she's spayed).

Mephisto - The future name of a melanistic F1 or F2 male. The devil that Faust sold his soul to. The eldest of the prime evils from the Diablo gaming universe. Representative of how chaotic, unbending, and mischievous he may be. No, that's not right. SHOULD be. He should be a handful and representative of his name. He has to tolerate people and like other cats. I'd love it if he were to be a big boy, but it's all about the personality and mannerisms at this gen.

I like to combine the parents' names and come up with something unique when possible: Simboya (Simsim and Oya); Mokhali (Malaki and Moka); Khalil (Mokhali and Lily). Of course, all of our cats have at least one nickname...New Boy (Simboya), Leggy, Weggy (Paris), Tinker (Khalil), Willy, Wills (Lily), Tartsy (Tart), Eevers (Eve), Winker (Gigi), Stellie (Stella) :)

hahaha, pam on the nicknames...

Ixas' entire name is Ixas Warrior Prince - Zuri is Zuri Warrior Princess, so I added some of Zuri's name in with his...I call Ixas Ixy and buddy...Cinny is just Cinny right now or Cinny Cinn...Taj is Tajie or Taj...Zuri is Zuri or Girly Girl

I love this topic!
Malia Lux- Our 6 year old son chose the middle name for his school crush, my husband chose the first name for Obama's daughter.
Rose Zilarie- Our son chose Rose because he is a titanic enthusiast (fanatic) and loves Kate Winslet's character, I chose the middle name Zilarezzko (silver in Basque) but didn't like how it sounded so I changed it a bit.

My husband wanted me to state that the name Malia was inspired by Obama's daughter but the hawiian definition means calm and peaceful. (hahahahahahaha) or the Swahili definition is Queen. So she is our calm, peaceful queen. Hahahahahaha
