« on: June 28, 2004, 04:32:55 pm »

The patriarch? what possible reason would I have to want a 'name' of all things that from that abomination?!?  ::)

Might I suggest changing the question to better suit your curiosity?

ooc nope never used the occuption with a monosyllable attached naming style as yet.

I think your leg is being pulled.

I'll give you a name if you like.  How about Kuddles?  Or.....  Kiku?   Or maybe even Kiwi?

I'm sure I could come up with more if you don't like any of these.

Well Fluf just comes from a nickname Ive had since the 70's, but it is kinda cat like.  The only one that I know for sure that has a true Kzin name is Chuut-Ritt.  Chuut-Ritt was a Admiral or something in the Kzin-Man-Wars and was killed by his own offspring!  :o

Some of the others have some similiar names, and I have considered chaning mine to a true Kzin name.  Only problem is then nobody would know who's fault it is!  ;D

We would follow the trail and figure out who's fault it was.

Skawpya was telling you that Lyrans are separate from the Kzin, and to suggest that we take our names from them means be prepared to be t-bombed by any golden ships that come across you  :P

Of course, I like Kooper and Kala and Kzounto.

Then you have Kaacho, Klorno, and Kornie.

The only name from the books I recognize around here is Chuut-Ritt. In the books he was an unusual kzin for his ability to not "scream and leap" strategy-wise. The humans felt that he could finally conquer earth, where 4? attempts had failed before. They sent an assassination team to deal with him, which succeeded.
I'm a big fan of the series as well, all my books are in storage though.... ???
