Hi, i will get two small, female kittens today and i'm still not sure how to name them. I'd love either some geek-names (For example i first thought of Ada - after Ada Lovelace, the first female Programmer - but dropped the name because it didn't sound right for a cat) or something related to Starcraft Lore.
What names do you suggest? Or how did you name your cats, if you have any?

My cats names were Teddy & Freddy. (Named after the characters in Astrid Lindgren's "Vi på Saltkråkan").
I'd probably call it "Ling" if it's a girl and Thor if it's a boy. (Ling in your case) So SC2-fans would get the reference but you don't have to explain the name to non-initiated.
Edit: Oh snap, I didn't read the OP right. You'll get two.. I'll get back to you on the second female name.

You could always go with the classic FireCatHero

Kerrigan would be ok, but people would look at you pretty strangely when at your place. I'd probably just go with Sarah and smile smugly inside because you know the reason for it.

Honestly as a rule I always keep a new pet un-named for the first month. I prefer to have a name appropriate to their personality. That's how my cat earned the name "Sniper"
|
lol.. Marauder, and Lurker
|
My cat is a uhh...well he's special. His name is Stupid. Or Trashcat, or fuzzy/fuzzumms.
Basically if you can picture a mentally retarded cat, thats my Stupid kitty. Love him to absolute death, and he's like 16 years old.
As for your cat, and girl names to boot...Lingy seems like a good one, I guess the other could be Mutalisk? Muta for short, or lisk for short, Lingy and Lisk.
Ya that kinda works.

Lets see. Kerri would work. Kerri and rayne.
|
Nesty and Fruity (may not be the best choice if you don't play Zerg)
Alternatively:
ToSsCat

Brian and stewie,, muahahahaha

Congrats on your new cats! This is more suited for the blogs, however, so I'm moving it there.

I like the muta + ling suggestion somehow.
- "Hey, where did you get that scratch from?" - "Oh, i got ambushed by muta/ling yesterday"
Other ideas i just got: Starcraft: Xel + Naga ("Ancient Gods", cats always feel like gods and in egypt they even were almost gods) Rolly + Polly (Baneling, though rolly sounds like a very fat cat)
Programming: Perl + Python or Ruby, 3 Programming languages Peek + Poke, reading and writing memory in basic

Thanks. Sorry for using the wrong place.

Name one of them Erwin after Schrödinger
|
name them cella and trump and if you need to call them both sometimes, teach them to listen to catz aswell. hehe

grack
then when a girl goes to your house for a group study or something, you can be like "RELEASE THE GRACKEN" ... and she'll be like "OMGOMGOMG" .. then you open the door and an adorable cat appears ... then she'll be like "awww" and ask "why grack?" and you'll be able to tell her the epic story of BoxeR and IdrA and she'll be like "awww u so cute" and you'll prolly get a kiss on the cheek iono ...

|
Mrs. Wiggles + Mr. Wiggles (I know they're both female) Queeny and Ling Phoenix and Stalker (lol) Mara and Rine Raven and Banshee Tasteless and Artosis Gosu and Chobo

Kitty and cat. Weeeeeeee!
Or go with some favorite characters, like mine would be Fenix and Zeratul. Fenix is good as is, but Zeratul is a bad pet name, maybe, Zer or Zerry.
Or pick some favorite programers, Boxer, Flash, Bisu, July, or w/e.
Ooo, or Nal and Ra, if you happen to be a dreamer fan.

If you really want people to WTF at your cat's name you should name it Steve Trachsel. Literally the worst name I can come up with off the top of my head.
Though on a slightly more serious note if you want to be really nerdy with the programming terms you could go with Push and Pop, Try and Catch.
While writing this I realized that generic programming keywords double as pretty convincing Korean Progamer IDs. Foreach, While, switch, etc.

we have an orange tabby called Orion. i think it's great and it's simple enough for him to realize it's his name
|
|
Ling is such a cute name for a cat.
Lingling and uh..
scourge
hydra
muta
queen
ultra lurky?

When I was like 3 years old I had 2 cats, one was black, the other wasn't. One cat was named Black. The other was named Not Black. (3 year olds naming cats..)
Anyways, my opinion is to use a non-human name :>

Mrs Bigglesworth, I wanted to name my cat that.
|
Lots and lots of good suggestions here. It turned out the two females i wanted were already sold, so i took another female and her brother. My programmer colleagues convinced me to use programming terms as names, so for now she is perl and he is python after the two scripting languages.
Since they are just 4 month old i'm still open to change my decision though.
(Pictures follow as soon as i can shoot them (with a camera of course), currently it's really hard to make pictures since they are exploring their new home and checking all hiding places).
UPDATE: Bad picture since it's just my mobile phone: + Show Spoiler +
Black&White: Female Gray&Stripes: Male

Ling and Mute.
It would be fantastic, and they're both easy names to "call" or yell.
My family cats are named sparta and ninja -- horrible names to call. I just call them "ki-eee" (sorta one slurred syllable) with a grunty voice and it is now what they both respond to. Occasionally I'll call the one "ninj" but sparta is just atrocious on so many levels.
EDIT: Ling and Lot would be my vote, boy is Lot! Also my sister's nickname is ling... from back when my dad first played starcraft she was called "sarah-ling" for whatever reason when little. I think I'm the only one who still calls her that with out even realizing it.

First cat: Fillium H. Muffman. Name the second one Cat.
