Architecture-Themed Cat Names?

clevelandcynic

Something light-hearted for these crazy times :)

I currently have a cat named Brick and a frog named Mortar (Mort for short), because I have a materials science background and love masonry. I'm planning on bringing home another cat soon and would love to hear your best, your silliest, and even your worst cat name ideas!

Looking for anything loosely architecture-related but not the names of human architects.

Desire Cat.

Just like Desire Path but with cats. Cat knocking down shit as it pleases, leaving a different path of destruction.

Not architectural but we just named a pair of kittens BiBim and Bap (We're Korean American). Also considered Mac and Cheese.

I worked on a couple of cat projects with my firm for a charity, and one of them was named after it's fictitious cat creator, Clawed Purrent... a pun for Claude Parent.

I love dogs too! But I'm a grad student in a tiny apartment and a dog just isn't feasible.

One of our cats is Floyd. One could imagine it's short for F. Lloyd Wright, but it's really sort of a Pink Floyd reference due to pink nose and toebeans. (Another cat is Ziggy, a David Bowie reference.)

I figured Ziggy was a The Wire reference.

I'm embarrassed to say I have not watched it. My wife watched the whole series and loved it.

I forgot to mention (and forgot) that Ziggy and Floyd have an Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/ziggyandfloyd/.

That's Floyd--I've never seen a cat with so much personality! Sometimes too much.

A sibling could be Baroque

*Every* time I mention Baroque architecture around my father he says "Well why don't they fix it if it's baroque?" Solid dad joke.

I may not be a dad but I can't hear that word without thinking the same. "Baroquitty?"
