"Greek" guys & gals

[Purple Fencer]

A quickie post here. Since fencers are (with some exceptions -- 355) intelligent folks, I need some help with the Greek alphabet (all you pledges, sytart dredging your memories)

I've got 7 kittens that need names. What are teh first 7 or so letters (in order) if teh Greek alphabet? I know it starts Alpha, Beta, etc, but after that, I'm lost.

Thanks

Sorry Sam I wish I could help ya. Although I only know like two (Besides the ones you named.) and they are way down the list. (Not to mention you use em in physics.)

If my pledge brainwashing serves me correct:
alpha
beta
gamma
delta
epsilon
zeta eta theta iota kappa lamda mu nu xi omicron pi rho sigma tau upsilon phi chi psi omega

BURP!

Actually, Steve...I think he just did


Thanks for the help, guys! I (and the kittens) appreciate it.

Sam,

You are NOT going to name your kittens after the letters in the Greek alphabet, are you?

Jeeze. Why don't you use the names of the reindeer in "The Night before Christmas?" Or something.....

It's like calling them One, Two, Three, Four...

One of our pledge things was to be able to recite the Greek alpahabet at least 10 times on a burning match. We then had a contest with the pledges of a sorority to see who could do it faster. Of course the alcohol made everyone slur the letters. Very funny.

Mark, I've already gone the numeric route (although we did it in Spanish). The problem is, 5 of the 7 are black...we can't really tell them apart! Besides, I've fostered over 300 cats & kittens since I started in rescue, and sometimes it's difficult to find a name.

Although, someone once said that for people who don't drink, we've named a LOT of kitties after booze!

Sam get a baby name book.

Did you try planets and their moons?

Or how about space missions and satellites?

Stars...Greek Gods..Roman Gods.....sealife?

hehehe....

OH! How about characters in fantasy stories... or scifi stories........

This WAY too much fun!

Oh just one more...the LA Phonebook must have lots of names in it. teehee.

The only reason I'm going with the Greek alphabet is because they're just now developing individual personalities, but it's STILL damn difficult to tell them apart. Otherwise, I'd go with your suggestions (I'll keep 'em mind fo rthe future, tho'). Sometimes it takes awhile for the perfect name to crop up; I don't wanna slap on a meaningless name unless I have to, and this time, I have to . They're probably going to go up for adoption this weekend anyway, and I don't think it'll take that long for them to go out. The new owners often change the names anyway. Thge names we give them is just to keep track of everyone, and it gives us something to talk about. We're still laughing about something a kitten did 4 years ago! I'll always remember Flower because she jumped from the top of the cat tree in the den and caught the top of a hanging lamp for a second. Here eyes bugged out of her head and she never tried teh jump again.

Poor baby!
