Thanks to everyone who fills Stereogum’s inbox with daily pop pics (and new MP3s). Below are some recent faves. (The last pic is our brand new roommate. We want to name him after a rock band/artist. Suggestions welcome — aside from Death Cab For Kitty. As you can see, he loves Pavement.)

Wisconsin wants to kill cats. Wisconsin sucks.
Janice Dickinson looks borrrrrrrrrrred
Seth Cohen + Ben Gibbard = indie-yuppie heads explode
you should name your kitty Cat Power
hmm.. kitty….
flea.
It may not be clever word play, but I always thought it would be cute to have a kitten named Matmos.
Dizzee Rascal
Pepper
Wilco
Oslo
Ivy
Morrissey
Rooster
Zuton
Grankitty
Feeder
All names I would consider for a cat of my own. Except I named mine… wait for it… cat. To my defense, it’s a very boring cat not worthy of an actual name, thus… cat.
Gum Jnr.
Why not?
Oh, alright. Miss Kitty Fantastico.
Aahahah, LOOK AT K-Fed.
Nice. Poor Adam Brody looks rather awkward.
You could call it “y’all” as well, just to be strange.
kitty federline
squiggles mcfurry pants
le chat cat
dog
antonio banderas
tom
I’d go with the first one, but that’s just me.
Fankie if it’s a guy. Franchesca *sp??* if it’s a girl. But don’t listen to me, I’m the new chick…
name it Fela Kitty
hi
How about: An Cat Dubh, Nashville Pussy, Cat Stevens, or The Last of the Famous International Playboys?
“El Diablo”
“Brit Brit”
“Esther”
this cat has to have a rock edge.. i can see it in his eyes, here are my suggestions:
zappa
grohl
cat stevens
bohemia
Zephyr Cat
Kansas.
Kabalah Federline Spears
Cat the Drive-In.
(Cat Power was my first thought too, although Fela Kitty is awesome as well.)
Wiggums
Inigo Montoyo
Le Tigre
Cheeto? Kylie? Apple? Spoony Love? The Dude? Jimmy Tickles? Tweedy? Janie Jones? Bootsy? Iggy?
If I had a cat, I’d name it Vinny or Sue (for the Johnny Cash song) if it was a boy, Suzy Lee or Jolene if it was a girl (esp. if she was orangey with green eyes).
p.s. Cutest kitten ever. My insides squeed.
some album titles (or parts from album titles) that could conceivably be used to name a pet:
doolittle, zuma, icky, jude, lodger, ziggy, candy-o, rio, lola, hejira, zenyatta mondata, teaser, the fire cat!, mummer, tanker, or nelsh,
nico, nuggets, violator, bryter, tusk, starjob, gorky, antics/antix, kaya, leviathan, minikon, watery domestic, tim, siamese dream, sneaks, aja, mwng, maladroit…
matmos no, catmos maybe. I am all for fela kitty, a cat name so dope I want another cat. cat stevens runs a close second. kitty ramone? simeow & garfield? no, not so much.
slater-kitty or mc scat cat
Cardinal Catzinger
the obvious choice is Stephen Malkpuss.
Geddy Lee.
Tuna
Dog (or puppy!)
Yuppy
Poo! Everyone got the good names before me. All I can think of is Nico, because I think it would be hilarious to imagine a small cat singing like Nico. Chairman Mao was suggested, but always deserves backing up.
I always like it when pets are named human names, like Daniel or Steven.
You should either name him Ege Bamyasi, or The Mascara Snake.
Binky
Pixel
Kitter
Goomba
Mogwai/Gizmo
Beta
Inky
Maceo
Whitebeard the Pirate
who’s that girl with the beret?
andrew, the girl with the beret is a fuckin wigged out lookin’ lindsay lohan. she needs to quit the bathroom blow breaks, man. she’s looking majorly haggard.
“who’s that girl with the beret?” is just too long a name for a cat.
How about The Drape Shredder?
Geez, she looks more like Ginger Spice.
major tom
the general
though i love the name gizmo
mogwai=good, gremlin=bad.
boy cat… “kat-fed”
girl cat… “lindsey lohan”
lovely throwback to the beatles
girl: penny lane (thought of yoko but not a big fan)
boy: lennon
a lot of indie-pussy names here. I would suggest naming your cat something on the punk side.
boy: milo (descendents reference)
girl: ivy (operation ivy reference)
boy: lint (rancid ref.)
boy: fat mike (nofx ref., if it’s a fat cat)
girl: um… karen O (ok, back to being an indie-pussy)
Polecat.
Mickelmus.
Tom.
Rufus.
Jack.
Julian Catablancas!
no, name it something weird, like something you wouldn’t expect for a cat name, like:
siegfried & roy
the new pornographers
brooklynvegan.com
department of defense
I havent cum in 3 weeks
pink is the new cat
P.O.D.
haha
I have a friend who named his cat “Lil Soldjah”, karma caught up with him and it got lost in a rough neighboorhood and he had to walk saying “Here Lil Soldjah, please come home Lil Soldjah”.
narc
roland
groove holmes (from a beastie boys song)
Hmm, I love naming other peoples pets. I would def name a girl Glynis. Damn fine song and I think the name has a bit of glam in it. Speaking of which, perhaps Ziggy Stardust for a boy? Perhaps that is too obvious. My friends just did this with naming 2 cats – Echo and The Bunnymen. Love and Rockets. Echo wouldnt be bad.
My favorite cat names (not based on famous folks) are Mr Furious and Turkey Sandwich.
Random sharing….
that cat is fucking scary looking
he’s not scary-looking. he’s CUTE!
i want to name him monster.
How about Gwar?? It looks like a Gwar. And everybody loves Gwar, even Stephen Malkmus.
vendetta
yoko
stereo
bowie
dj meow
el gato (or la gata if it’s a girl)
Cat names:
Spiral Stairs
Harold
Reggie
Fixins
Saigon Kick
If it’s a girl, go with Tawny Kitten. That way she can grow up to be a video whore that writhes around on car hoods.
“If it’s a girl, go with Tawny Kitten. That way she can grow up to be a video whore that writhes around on car hoods.”
Oh man whitesnake sucks
awesome names everyone! haha stephen malkapuss or cat the drive in would get my vote.
I only had a cat for lil’ while before he got sick and we had to send him to a cat boarding place where she could get better..but I called her lil poooooooce. My friends cat goes by ‘jinxie cat’

Dee Dee (Ramone)
Ziggy (Stardust)
Andy (Warhol)
Truman (Capote)

Tom (Verlaine)

oh I could go on and on…
forget all this music naming jonx and pay your dues to that guy who got killed off way too early in hook.
he rocked.
he was an artist.
i vote for Rufio
—king of the lost boys
bonus: you can yell roof-eeee-yOOOOOO whenever it wanders away
I would name him Max. Or Loki. Maybe Fox, just to up his self-image. Try Fletcher? And Rab! I love you, Esther Forbes.
A friend of mine got his mom to name her newly born twins (boy and girl) Belle and Sebastian. He didn’t tell her it was a band. So, name the cat one of those, then get another cat of the opposite sex.
Hmm, kitty names…
Pixie
Psychedelic Fluffy [after The Psychedelic Furs]
Jimmy [Page]
Roger [Waters]
Floyd [add Pink if necessary]
Jett [like Joan]
Jefferson Airplane…you can refer to him as either Jefferson, or Airplane
Blackmore [Richie] (well, that would make sense if he were black instead of gray, but who cares)
Tiger Army…and then just call him Tiger
ponch (from CHiPs)
butros butros gali
donkey
Gargamel
Azriel
sha sha
(please appreciate the clever kweller pun)
Call it Chet!
In honor of recently reunited bands:

One cat always leads to another.
Might I suggest Nathan Jr.?
I know, it’s not a musical reference, but who can object to Raising Arizona?
Grey Francis.
I kinda like rufio….doesnt naima from top model kinda look like rufio with her fierce mohawk??
just name it cat.
*Points and laughs at K.Fed’s lovely haircut before falling off chair*
Ahhh thank god for spring cleaning, or I never would have laughed that hard in my life… or at least this week.
