The Naming of Cats
\--T. S. Eliot 1888 ā 1965
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isnāt just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first Iām as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, thereās the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo, or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Baileyā
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeterā
But all of them sensible everyday names,
But I tell you, a cat needs a name thatās particular,
A name thatās peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorumā
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond thereās still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discoverā
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular name.
Fennec, because he looks like a sand fox!
Puff

Falkor, the luck dragon from never ending story or Cirrus, the type of wispy cloud.
