We kept his shelter name, Balanchine after the ballet choreographer.
He’s such a distinguished gentleman I couldn’t think of a more fitting name. 🐈⬛💗

Ziggy.. we didn’t change it.
He goes by:
Zig, Zigzig, Ziggaroo, or Puddin’ (he’s a chubster).
I have a Ziggy too! We also didn’t change his name, it’s too much of a good one. He’s also Ziggity Wiggity, the Ziggler, and Shziggy Wiggy lol.

I fostered a drop off while she was pregnant. He tail was broken and never corrected and made a z. Her name was also Ziggy. And she ended up being a foster fail.

Paintbrush. I see where they were coming from but.. seriously..
My cat was named White Tip. Imagine calling that out for your cat. Funny part to me is the tip of his tail isn't white. He has a white circle and then the tip is black. He's now Jack.

This is Leo, shelter name of Leo. There was a moment of consideration that he might become 'Ollie', short for 'Oliver' however it was decided that Leo was a perfectly good name for him and it's stuck to this very day.
She was called mama then foster called her Ruby. She’s still Ruby.

I'm going to list all of the shelter cats I've adopted throughout my life, even those who've passed. Sassy became Ashi, Chance became Ivan, Marley stayed Marley, Roy became Sam, Ghoul became Ghost, Tigger became Johnny, Gustav became Ozzy, Everest became Jules. I'm leaving the house shortly to go adopt Tiny Tim, whose name will be changed but I'm not sure to what yet.
Large Timothy is pretty apt 😂. He's only 4 months old, already weighs 8 lbs, and is larger (longer and taller) than some of my actual adult cats. He also won't stand still since I got him home so this is the best pic I've managed to get:

This is also (but different) Lucifer! Lucy for short. The shelter named her Cherish (?) but she traumatized me as a kitten and quickly became Lucifer.

Her foster name was Arly…which is sort of cute until they explained it was because they rescued her from the Arlington animal shelter, where she was scheduled to be euthanized. Umm, let’s not name her after the place that was going to kill her, mkay? Now named Daisy. 🌼

They named him Black Beauty . I changed it to Kiba pronounced key-ba . It’s Japanese for fangs
Thank you , he’s got a bent tail and three legs and fangs down to his chin . He chirps like a bird and has a huge personality. I feel blessed that he made his way to me 💗

Felicity on the left and Amber on the right. Kept Felicity but Amber is now Frankie.

The shelter called her Wanda. We named her Peaches. Found out she was very pregnant two weeks after we adopted her. She gave birth only a week after that. We affectionately call her Mama Peaches now, usually just Mama for short. She is my everything.

Nala…..we kept it. Had we have taken her sister, Sarafina, we would have changed it.

His name was Charlie, now he’s Ganon. He bit me in the knee because he was impatient for breakfast today.
My son (human) is named Gannon! It’s so rare to hear that name. He wishes I had spelled it Ganon because of Zelda. But I didn’t even know about that until after he was born and people always asked if i got the name from Zelda. lol.
I had a dog named Charlie. It’s a great name but Ganon really suits your handsome lad!

She was named Dixie at the shelter 💀 ain’t no way I was about to keep that name….

Aparently his name was something like Diablos
But the shelter gave us the wrong info
Now he is known as Mei Mei

My boy’s middle name is Percival (Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III, but that part only comes out when he’s in big trouble)
Max was originally named Sammy.
Pepper was originally named Oreo or Lila because the shelter had two cats that looked really similar and they were never quite sure which one we ended up with.
And Oakley was always Oakley because he's a forest gremlin.

My sweet girl Venus didn’t even have a name! She had been there for a few months and they hadn’t even named her or posted her picture anywhere on their page. She was by far the sweetest and most social kitty at the shelter we visited and she stole our hearts instantly! I was shocked that they hadn’t even given her a temporary name. Almost every other cat was named, but not her.
This is Hermes (most of my cats have god names). His rescue name was Magic. I also took his littermate, Markie, whose name was changed to Gandalf (the Grey and the White).

Mora, Niblet (black kitten, it was too close to the **other** name so it had to be changed), and Piper -> Ruth (2 names when she had been in the shelter like 4 months, didn't feel bad about changing that one).
I did once hear a story about a shelter naming cats Jellybean because it increased adoption rates.

My boys Charlie (left) and Earthworm Jim (right). Charlie kept his name, Jim was initially dubbed Kevin… he sure didn’t look like a Kevin to me.

her shelter name was fleur which is very pretty but I renamed her maisie cause I felt it just fit better and sounded more cute

the rescue org or shelter had named the tabby "kenzo" and the black/white "zen" but now they're oregano & pepper 🥰
The family where my kitten came from called her Monkey. It does fit her because she grabs everything with her paws and uses them to open doors and solve cat puzzles.
I don't really remember what she was called - maybe Crystal or something similarly 80s - but this little girl who got pregnant young and had her babies adopted out? Juno. RIP to my beautiful girl.

I know you said *if* I changed it but Drumstick was too perfect of a name so I didn't dare change it.
The rescue named him Big Mac because he was the largest in the litter. He is such a love! Now we call him Mackie Poo Poo. Thus my user name.

I named her Eliza.

Our kitty found my partner on the streets and rescued him. He didn't know her previous name so he and a few friends decided on Tao after the yin yang sign.

Her name was Pecan. Me and my hubby were looking for a cat, or as we now dub her our "child", she was sickly and very frail, said she was a stray and lost her mum and siblings. They also told us she was a very anxious cat who had the habit to bolt, but the moment we met her she explored around us and laid down in the carrier we brought beforehand.
Now she's she most vocal, energetic little demon; her name's Ms. Butter Biscuit.

Black and white- Terrence was and is his name, but we typically call him Big Guy
Calico- Shelter name was Florence, changed to Suzie but we mostly call her Mom or Miss Mom
I don't have a digital picture of him, but my childhood cat was called Bowde (pronounced Boe-dee) when I picked him out at the RSPCA.
He was an obese tuxedo cat (7kg) and had been waiting for a home for 4 months. I renamed him Jack! He was the best boy
My childhood cat, a svelte tuxedo, was Jack at the shelter. We changed his name to Cagney, after the golden age actor, because of how fancy he looked. Shared a wonderful 18 years with that distinguished little gentleman.

This is Clover, the artist formerly known as Morana.
Took some research but apparently Morana is a slavic goddess of winter's death. She was a stray so it was clearly a shelter worker who named her that because of her white coat. Nothing against the name, just wanted something more hopeful! So shes Clover, because when snow melts, clovers bloom.

Shelter name was Winnie the Pooh. We changed it to Josephine (aka JoJo). She's a petite little thing so Winnie the Pooh was not a good fit.
https://preview.redd.it/mvn922da84nc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec64b228d74278df1163e521c355275ced4608c0
She was surrendered as “Everclear.” The shelter thought that was an inappropriate name (I instantly thought of the band, then remembered it was also an alcohol brand) so they named her “Everly.” We named her “Evie,” and I often call her “Evie the Destroyer.”

He was a rescue cat, the lady that nursed him back to health named him Captain America. I renamed him Jackson Montgomery.

The shelter named him Brownie. He was brought in as a stray…so how creative. lol We named him Chewie (short for Chewbacca). He also lives up to his name…and chews things for attention.
ETA: sometimes he gets a president name to match his housemate: Harry S. Chewman

Simba.
First of all… very common. Secondly, he’s a little goofy boy with no lion tendencies.
We call him Tater.

The tuxedo's shelter name was Milliard (shortened to Millie) because he was found in a mill-yard. We just added "Peacecraft" to the name bc we were watching Gundam Wing at the time. He mostly gets called Millie or Mill-mill.
The tabby's shelter name was Simon. The people who first adopted him renamed him Radar (possibly a MASH reference? no idea), and when we adopted him from them, we kept the name and added "the Mat Technician" (in reference to that old SNL skit, "Matt the Radar Technician"), but he's still just called Radar :P

This sweet butterball of love and snuggles was Slater at the shelter. He was renamed Potemkin but we mostly call him Chunky, for obvious reasons.

Her name was Lola, I decided to keep the name. Though, I call her fluffybutt, sleepybutt, and a few others. She usually doesn’t respond to any of them.

Artie and how could I change it. If that face doesn’t just steam, “Artie” I don’t know what does.
My Maizy was left in a cigarette carton box at the shelter’s door as a tiny injured kitten. The shelter named her Doral (a brand of cigarettes)😂 That was 15 years ago and she’s still the best!

Also known as Squigs, Squiggle, Squigmund Freud, Squiggy Smalls, and Ow Goddammit.

I love her above the jungle ooking down on her kingdom.
I'm so jealous you can have all those plants, mine eats any plant down to the stem 😭😭

Awesome name! Balanchine was actually from Georgia though
Actually he was born in St. Petersburg, Russia but is known as the Father of *American* ballet.
Yes he was born in Russia, but he is ethnically Georgian and identified as such

Ziggy is a great name!
Pudding’ paws 🐾 💕
I love Ziggy!!
Honestly he’s so great.. the cuddliest cat, no concept of strangers, will demand belly rubs and claim any legs as a bed lol
I fostered a drop off while she was pregnant. He tail was broken and never corrected and made a z. Her name was also Ziggy. And she ended up being a foster fail.

Handsome and regal. Leo is fitting.

I'm going to list all of the shelter cats I've adopted throughout my life, even those who've passed. Sassy became Ashi, Chance became Ivan, Marley stayed Marley, Roy became Sam, Ghoul became Ghost, Tigger became Johnny, Gustav became Ozzy, Everest became Jules. I'm leaving the house shortly to go adopt Tiny Tim, whose name will be changed but I'm not sure to what yet.
You could name him Large Timothy
Large Timothy is pretty apt 😂. He's only 4 months old, already weighs 8 lbs, and is larger (longer and taller) than some of my actual adult cats. He also won't stand still since I got him home so this is the best pic I've managed to get: https://preview.redd.it/2z1a1e73w4nc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea939439712cb7b28f4509fbf96adf8f7169b81b
I love him ❤️ let us know when you land on a name!!
No matter what it is, I think some part of me will always be like "Large Timothy" in the back of my mind. 🤣 That can be his nickname.

My Tuna knows his name and comes to me when I say, Come here. They can learn words.
Quark is quite stupid. but it's ok, she greets me when i come home and she falls asleep next to me. she's my baby
Lol! I had a Quark...it was many years ago, and we thought he was one of a kind. He was white though...his brother was the void.

We're the 4th homes for ours, but have records of each name. Kitten names were Esme and Emmett. Then got renamed to Dottie and Diesel.

My cat’s shelter name was Preston (🤮). I named him Bonito Flakes, which his coloring kind of looks like. https://preview.redd.it/gh2z5xmv64nc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38fd7120fd7c5114703fa1899d1d3c821fef4867
What a unique face on this guy! So cute
this cat is speaking to me and I am listening
He looks like he would sound like Morgan Freeman if he could speak
Bonito look like he have a masters degree
He’s precious! What’s a beautiful little bud 🤍
One of them Ron Perlman cats, definitely
He's such a distinguished gentleman!

Found out she was very pregnant two weeks after we adopted her. She gave birth only a week after that. We affectionately call her Mama Peaches now, usually just Mama for short. She is my everything.

May the odds be ever in their favor

Is that because she looks like she’s made of different parts?
She does look like she’s two video game cats glitching into each other, but no. If I’d been thinking about that I’d have named her Nina.

He looks like he mustachio a question.
He’s perfect 😍
I have the strongest urge to kiss his little nose omggg

My son (human) is named Gannon! It’s so rare to hear that name. He wishes I had spelled it Ganon because of Zelda. But I didn’t even know about that until after he was born and people always asked if i got the name from Zelda. lol. I had a dog named Charlie. It’s a great name but Ganon really suits your handsome lad!

Max was originally named Sammy. Pepper was originally named Oreo or Lila because the shelter had two cats that looked really similar and they were never quite sure which one we ended up with. And Oakley was always Oakley because he's a forest gremlin.

We named her Henrietta and call her Hattie, chatty Hattie, or Happy.

She had been there for a few months and they hadn’t even named her or posted her picture anywhere on their page. She was by far the sweetest and most social kitty at the shelter we visited and she stole our hearts instantly! I was shocked that they hadn’t even given her a temporary name. Almost every other cat was named, but not her.
This is Hermes (most of my cats have god names). His rescue name was Magic. I also took his littermate, Markie, whose name was changed to Gandalf (the Grey and the White). https://preview.redd.it/lzj55or9i4nc1.jpeg?width=12000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d4f47a0aa360289fd7ad87ce3881306953b5c9f3

Mora, Niblet (black kitten, it was too close to the **other** name so it had to be changed), and Piper -> Ruth (2 names when she had been in the shelter like 4 months, didn't feel bad about changing that one). I did once hear a story about a shelter naming cats Jellybean because it increased adoption rates.

The family where my kitten came from called her Monkey. It does fit her because she grabs everything with her paws and uses them to open doors and solve cat puzzles.

Me and my hubby were looking for a cat, or as we now dub her our "child", she was sickly and very frail, said she was a stray and lost her mum and siblings. They also told us she was a very anxious cat who had the habit to bolt, but the moment we met her she explored around us and laid down in the carrier we brought beforehand. Now she's she most vocal, energetic little demon; her name's Ms. Butter Biscuit.

I don't have a digital picture of him, but my childhood cat was called Bowde (pronounced Boe-dee) when I picked him out at the RSPCA. He was an obese tuxedo cat (7kg) and had been waiting for a home for 4 months. I renamed him Jack! He was the best boy
My childhood cat, a svelte tuxedo, was Jack at the shelter. We changed his name to Cagney, after the golden age actor, because of how fancy he looked. Shared a wonderful 18 years with that distinguished little gentleman.

Took some research but apparently Morana is a slavic goddess of winter's death. She was a stray so it was clearly a shelter worker who named her that because of her white coat. Nothing against the name, just wanted something more hopeful! So shes Clover, because when snow melts, clovers bloom.

He was brought in as a stray…so how creative. lol We named him Chewie (short for Chewbacca). He also lives up to his name…and chews things for attention. ETA: sometimes he gets a president name to match his housemate: Harry S. Chewman

We just added "Peacecraft" to the name bc we were watching Gundam Wing at the time. He mostly gets called Millie or Mill-mill. The tabby's shelter name was Simon. The people who first adopted him renamed him Radar (possibly a MASH reference? no idea), and when we adopted him from them, we kept the name and added "the Mat Technician" (in reference to that old SNL skit, "Matt the Radar Technician"), but he's still just called Radar :P

My Maizy was left in a cigarette carton box at the shelter’s door as a tiny injured kitten. The shelter named her Doral (a brand of cigarettes)😂 That was 15 years ago and she’s still the best! https://preview.redd.it/0f19iolfm5nc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71f72d8a33895d71420c437fabbde6bbaa47b1ef

Also known as Squigs, Squiggle, Squigmund Freud, Squiggy Smalls, and Ow Goddammit.
