We have three kittens, as I’ve mentioned here before.

Beth and Zoe gave them all cute names that are vaguely thematic in nature, but perhaps bestowed these names a little too soon. (I wanted to name one of them “Knuckles,” but I was outvoted.)

The white one is Nina, because Beth originally wanted to name the three kittens Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. She was apparently on a big Christopher Columbus kick at that exact moment in time. Why, we don’t know. Or care, really. We gave her Nina, but the other two names stayed in drydock.

The black and gray ones got cartoon-themed, Zoe-bestowed names: Cosmo and Wanda, of The Fairly OddParents cartoon. The black one is Wanda, the gray one is Cosmo.

Cute names all, I guess, but a little bit gender confused. Nina is okay because Nina is a girl. But Wanda? A boy. And Cosmo? Girl. That’s what happens when you name kittens before you’ve checked their packages. And we didn’t get around to checking the packages until the names had sunk in, so now it would feel weird to call Wanda Cosmo and Cosmo Wanda. So the names are staying and Wanda and Cosmo will just have a lifetime of neuroses and psychiatric bills to look forward to.

And yet… Beth has decided one kitten’s name must change. Nina, the only kitten with a name that doesn’t need to change, well, Beth thinks it must change. According to Beth, Nina must now be known as Princess Fluffy Cuteness. (“PFC for short!”)

I got yer Princess Fluffy Cuteness right here. Dangling.
