I will now confess for those who are interested that my friend has called her kitten Brian. I thought it was a daft name for a cat but I see from another poster on here that they have also chosen the name Brian. I always feel that to call a cat in from the garden etc, or anywhere it is hiding it seems right to have a two syllable name like Benjy, Mitzi etc. calling it in a sing song voice with the lasy syllable rising in pitch and then tailing off. However I remember calling Rupert at the top of my voice in the dark so maybe I am also daft.
