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.)

Score = 0
Dizzee Rascal
Pepper
Wilco
Oslo
Ivy
Morrissey
Rooster
Zuton

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.

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...

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.
Score = 0
I always like it when pets are named human names, like Daniel or Steven.

"who's that girl with the beret?" is just too long a name for a cat.

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)

groove holmes (from a beastie boys song)
Score = 0
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....
