I have a loud part Siamese who as a stray 'teenager' kitten would wander around the house at my heels, meowing pretty constantly. She's 9 years old and chilled out some, but still meows more than any 3 other cats I know combined. She will jump on my lap while I am on the computer, and meow point blank in my face repeatedly. Jumps on my head at night and meows. Has to be in the bathroom while I shower, or she will sit outside and wail and wake up my roommates in the morning.
As she was very nervous and lost when we were trying to name her, my old roommate had I settled on 'S.O.N.A.R' - she was echolocating. Listening for the pings of where her humans were...
Our all black cat is named "Nubbins" after the cadaver that crazy guy with the metal plate in his head drug all over the place with him in Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 2. That's fairly geeky.
Our dog is named Neville, after Neville Longbottom. So I guess I can't argue against Crookshanks. But I'd rather go with something like Luna Lovegood or something.
Kittistador, Kahn (star trek, not jungle book reference), Little Lord Fauntleroy. I don't know cat's lend themselves to ricockulous names, even though they are kickass animals. My dear sisters have a cat they named Sir Charles the Diddled, Chas for short.
