I need to name my kitten after a term in (contract) bridge or something card-related. I feel like I've exhausted most options...
My family has a tradition of naming our cats after card, specifically Bridge, terms.
It goes back to a fondly remembered argument between my parents when my Dad agreed to get a cat if my Mom would agree to let him host "Bridge Nights" with his friends.
We've owned and loved:
- Trump
- Grand & Slam (2 brothers)
- Finny-finesse
- Bridgette (I got to name the cat... I was young and didn't understand the concept of Bridge, the game.)
- Kibitzer (nickname: Bitzer)
My parents still own and love:
- Bidwhist (nickname: Biddie)
- Gerber
I have decided to carry on the tradition and currently live with my lovable hell-demon,
Gazilli. (nickname: Zilli)
Recently, my landlord rescued a
kitten, and I am taking her in. We're in the middle of the slow cat-introduction dance; new-kitten is happily ensconced in the bathroom at the moment.
However, I still need to name her...
I'm not a bridge-player myself, so I'm open to just a card-related name if a Bridge-related one is too hard. I'd like for it to sound somewhat nicely alongside "Zilli" when I call them. Otherwise, I'm open to ideas!
New Kitten: Black all over with occasional white tics on her chest. Big, gold eyes with a *very* small build. Likely going to be a mini-cat.
