Any of my regular readers knows that I have an obsession with unusual names- campy telenovela actresses, Latina/Latin American beauty queen finalists, Barack Obama-loving politicians in Brazil, or Venezuelan congressmen called Lenin, if it's a story about weird naming practices, I am all over it!
But the pet name arena has remained unexplored, until now. Semester crunch-time anxiety led me to scroll around the MSNBC news site while procrastinating today and there I found what might motivate me to adopt a second cat: my top "unusual" cat name ever SIR LIX A LOT. Of course, I appreciate the shout out to that poet of hip hop, Sir Mix A Lot, singer of one of my favorite songs ever "Baby's Got Back."
Here is the list, according to the TODAY show via MSNBC:
Most unusual
1. Edward Scissorpaws
2. Sir Lix-a-lot
3. Optimus Prrrime
4. Buddah Pest
5. Snoop Kitty Kitty
6. Miss Fuzzbutt
7. 80 Bucks
8. Sparklemonkey
9. Rosie Posie Prozac
10. Toot Uncommon
