Search Results: he said be good and stay beautiful

So I’m living in Greece for grad school and thought it would be good to adopt a kitty while I was here. So far, it’s been a fantastic decision. But it’s been almost a week now and I still can’t settle on a name. I’m hoping to have one chosen by November first since that’s when she’s getting her vaccinations and microchip. With my last cat, when faced with naming her I wrote my options on scraps of paper, balled them up and tossed them across the floor; the one the cat ran after to play with was the one I chose for the name. This time, I guess it’s because she’s still very little, my kitten hasn’t been interested in that method. I figured since I’m in Greece (and a classical archaeology student) I should chose something theme appropriate. I’m stuck between three

-Sparta (So when people ask her name I can say “This. Is. SPARTA!” Like in 300. Fun, but I worry it may not suit her as and so far she’s been super sweet and it’s a little masculine)

-Callisto (which in Greek means “Most Beautiful” but by extension may seem a little pretentious and may be a little difficult for both her and other people to learn [when discussing names with my parents separately both accidentally and repeatedly said CallistA])

-Circe (The witch in the Odyssey that turns Odysseus’s men into animals but on the flip side, is a different spelling for Cersei of Game of Thrones. Enough said.)

I’m also open to other suggestions but I’d like to stay on theme. I’ve already decided against both Calliope (the muse of epic poetry) and Hecate (the goddess of witchcraft)
