Silver Grasshopper King?!!! OMG that is hilarious! I had been wondering since I joined this forum what the origins of the name "Malik" was but to put it mildly, I was way off!

Coming up with a name for Amani was harder than I imagined.. we mostly had had rescues that were already adult and already came with a name.
I wanted a nice sounding name for him, it would have to fit his appearance and character, and, it would have to have a meaning.
When we choose him at 5 weeks old his breeder told us that if we wanted, we had to choose a name fast for it to be on his pedigree. Panic.. How to choose a name for him while we hardly know him yet!
After a long search through many lists I finally came up with the name Amani, which in African means, harmony, peace trust and safety. In Arabic it means, to desire. All the wishes I have for him to feel and become in one name.. I needed to search no more
In practice.. we hardly ever call him by his name
It's either maw-tee or derpy. And he really listens to it! When I call him, wherever he is in the house he comes racing at me immediately at high speed. Maybe because it mostly means cuddling, playing or even better, getting a treat

Yes. I read somewhere that the E sound is a good sound for cats.
