The DU Lounge

Named a black cat Ghirardelli because his fur reminded me of dark chocolate. He was also a beer drinker, and very picky about his beer too. He preferred craft beers (he didn't drink much, just a bit off the top of my glass). He has long since passed over the rainbow bridge.
Have another cat simply named Cali, because she's a calico, and when my husband rescued her from the raccoon that was trying to make a midnight snack of her I couldn't think of a more clever name to give her when I rushed her to the vet for care of her injuries.
Won't name my cats after supernatural beings or the deities, because over the years every cat I named with those names usually died within a year or so.
