[Opinions] Cookie
We just got a new cat, named Cookie. Cookie is very appropriate for her coloring, but as a namenerd, I started thinking of what full names I could give her. The first thing I thought of was Cornelia. Any other ideas?

What a cutie! :)
I think Cookie works perfectly on its own.

I'd say, give her the full name of Cook Islands - Cookie for short.

You made me think of Captain Cook. That would be awesome.

And, though 'no man is an island', all cats are! Solitary; welcoming sometimes on their own terms, easy to overlook if that's what they want ...

We have listened to Just So Stories for bedtime since my daughter was a baby. The Cat Who Walked By Himself is a favorite, and I've been quoting it to remind my daughter to be patient with the cat. :)"I am the Cat who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me." ~ Rudyard Kipling

You could use literally any CO- name.
Kokoro
Corinne - like Cokie Roberts
Nicolette
Concordia would make a nice full cat name.Cookie is a great name. I would end up calling her Cookie Crisp and Sugar Cookie and Cookie Monster and Cookie Dough Dough and Cuckoo Kitty and stuff like that.

Oo some of those are quite intriguing, thanks!

I don't think there are any names that Cookie logically works as a nn for. Cookie is kind of like Honey or Sugar, a cutesy nn not based on anything other than the perceived cuteness of the bearer and/or the cutesiness of the giver.

Why does she need a full name, like Cornelia? I never understood doing this for pets, unless they were purebreds who had papers. Would you ever call her Cornelia?

It's fun. :-)My cats have full names - first, middle, last - and it's just for fun. Although, like earthnut, they have lots of odd names. Jasper is Jazz, Jazzy, Jazzbutt and Jazzaroo (the vet called him Jaspy which annoyed me to no end.) Zeta is Z, ZZ Top, Zed. Pluto is P, Mister P, P Fluffy Jones and the boring Plut. MacDuff is Duff, Duffers, Duff, Duffleupagus and Laird MacDuff.

We gave our pets nicknames, but we never gave them full names. That's what I don't understand.

Pure, unadulterated silliness. That's it, at least for us. Their "full" names express their personality - Pluto's full name has a reference to a joke, Macduff's shares a name with a thief from Star Trek, Jazz's has Dash in it, Zeta's middle name is Bacon courtesy of my nieces. I don't put a lot of thought into them or find the "perfect" one. It's just a chance to be silly. My mom calls her dog, Max, Mr. Quacks. Silliness.

I like Duffelupagus! Snuggleupagus was always my favorite sesame street character. My daughter has now named the cat Snuggle Muffin Cookie. :P

Cornelia would probably be the nickname in this case, along with Cookie Cutter and such like. :) I tend to end up calling my pets all kinds of creative names!
