What is a good german name for a kitten?
My boyfriend just bought me a kitten and we are struggling on coming up with a good name. We want to try to name it something German. He’s a spunky little guy whose black and white. Any good suggestions?

Faust? It sounds German, and it’s the name of a man who sold his soul to the devil and then squandered his talent. That’s spunky, right?
Never mind, @pdworkin just won this.

@Allibaby808 I contributed, whoo hoo! Congratulations on successfully naming your spunky kitten.
How about ‘Krummbein’ from Harry Potter as suggested by

Not all of them are of German origin though.
And please no names from the Third Reich. When you have visitors from Germany (maybe at some point in the future, you never know) and you introduce your cat as Himmler or Der Führer, the visitors will be very offended. I’m not kidding. Panzerfaust might be viewed as being mildly funny, especially when your cat is very aggressive, but again it gives the impression that your association with Germany is mainly about Nazism and the second world war. Your German visitors would silently pity you as an ignorant American while trying to remain polite.
Suppose Barack Obama visits Germany and Angela Merkel introduces her cat to him, a tomcat she named Jim Crow. Now what would Mr. President think of that?
Well, in German Matt is short for Matthias.
Okay. Matthias Braun it is.
@AstroChuck – Last name is different. Matt Browne is my pen name.
@mattbrowne- Bic® is the brand name of a pen here in the US. You said you were a pen writer.
@AstroChuck – Maybe you prefer the term pseudonym. I used a blue pen during self-edits. And my editor used a red pen. I guess your real name isn’t Astro Chuck either?
edit: You said Matt Browne was your pen name.
Goddamn. I’m doing a lot of editing of late. Brain farts are coming more and more frequent.
Sieht deine Katze wohl so aus?
