we almost named the kitten Ravioli and I'm still not sure we made the right call

Ended up going with Mina because my partner wanted something that would sound less ridiculous at the vet, but every time she does a noodle-body flop I think wow, Ravioli was destiny. Curious how many of you have cats with food names versus respectable government names.

We named ours Toast. The vet did not blink once.

Respectable at the vet is overrated. The tech has heard worse.

My cat's legal name is Clementine and her real name is Meatball. Both can coexist.

Mina is cute for paperwork, Ravioli for household use. Split the difference.
