AKINA: spring flower KEIKO: adored one MITSU: surname meaning "shine; reflect." SHINA: virtue; good YUKIKO: snow child (for a white cat) KURO: black (for a black cat) MIDORI: green (for a green cat ) Female Names Female names usually, but not always, end in "ko," which means child. Common female names include Akiko (Autumn Child), Haruko (Spring Child), Jun'ko, Keiko, Kiyoko, Michiko, Natsuko (Summer Child), Sachiko, Yoshiko (Good Child), and Yukiko (Snow Child). Note that all names ending in "ko" are not necessarily female. For example, the male name Norihiko. Male Names Male names sometimes indicate the order of birth, using the suffix -ro, the counter for sons. For example, Ichiro (first son), Jiro (second son), Saburo (third son), Shiro (fourth son), Goro (fifth son), and so on. Common male names include Hiroshi, Ken and its many variants (Kenji, Ken'ichi), Yoshi, etc.
My friend had a cat called Mikita. But she (the cat, not the friend!) was a bit of a psycho, so I used to call her Sadako.....
Totoro of course! If you like cat's and you haven't seen Studio Ghibli's "My Neighbor Totoro (Tonari no Totoro).then your missing out!!! Run! Don't walk - to your nearest decent video store and check this one out. An all time classic. Great name for a cat as well! :love:
Warning: Veering dangerously off topic What is the appeal of that damn movie? I watched it with my girlfriend last year and while I enjoyed it as I have pretty much all the Studio Ghibli films it just had no point and pretty much nothing happened. I know its a very Japanese orientated film and I get the Romantic History and Shinto themes but Totoro is actually kinda creepy, he looks like he eats kids! PLUS the cat bus would have freaked me out as a kid, I mean you have to actually get inside it to drive around; who wants to be inside a cat! On a related note I still must confess to having some Totoro merchandise sitting around my room. Im such a hippocrite .
