I am now the owner of a beautiful little female kitten.

But she has no name.
So I’m looking for good names. Geeky names. Like “Jakarta“, “Nibble“, or maybe even a recursive cat acronym. Feed me some ideas…
Update: I’ve posted a small album of photos of the Kitten-That-Hath-No-Name

No suggestions, but looks like a good one to enter in Laurence Simon’s Carnival of the Cats.
Last time I helped name a kitten, the name was Sputnik. This was inspired in part by my having owned a dog I named Apollo when I was a kid.

I just ended up with a kitten. It is the replacement that wandered up after my 15 year old cat died. I named her Elmer. Maybe that will work for yours. I passed up (barely) on Scratch Fury, Destroyer of Worlds.

I have four cats, and my favorite is named Truffle (the humane society named her before we adopted her). If that helps.
I have a thing for naming male pets after deceased presidents. If this were a male cat, I would say to name it Woodrow.

I see someone reads PvP.
I’m partial to AHM, as in Autonomous Hairball Machine, or you could make it an Ordinary Hairball Machine as well.

I once had a herd of kittens. Some of their names were Bobo, Chickenhead, The True Queen of England, Booger, Galaxia, Shiva, Fluffnut, and Marcel. One litter of five were named John, Paul, George, Ringo, and Yoko. Feel free to have any one of these if you like.

Geeky names. Hm. Swizzle, widget, meep? Anything spelled in l33tspeak? There’s always spinlock, with a nice sailing hardware double-entendre. Maybe not for a female kitty.
If you had two kittens, I’d say fork and exec. Or poke and peek. Or syn and ack. You should really get another kitten…
