You mustn't name them

It's coming up on the bitties'....well, not adoption day.
Sucker-DP-Into-Being-Our-Mother Day is more like it.  We never formally
adopted them.

After finding them in a pile of trash, at 3 weeks old, DP began
referring to them as "Dark Face" and "Light Face."  Both are primarily
brown tabby, but Tyche has a white face, white socks of varying length
(though one is just four fingertips and a thumb sticking out of a long
tabby "glove") and orange tabby spots randomly across her back and
legs....whereas Kumani is almost entirely brown tabby save two toes
(left front and right rear paw) and had a very black nose as a kitten.

The next night, I came home on leave from military service to see DP's
little rescues and I said, if we were going to be their foster parents
we had to think of something better than Darkface and Lightface.

He said, "We can't name them--then we have to keep them!"

I said, "We ALSO can't keep referring to them as Darkface and Lightface
or those will end up being THEIR NAMES."

He agreed that those were not appropriate names.

Therefore--due to the twist of fate or the simple good fortune that we
found them--DarkFace became Kumani (our Destiny) and LightFace became
Tyche (our Luck).

How lucky they both were that your DP was so kind.

So funny.  I can just see myself still calling Stinky "Kitty"-- and
"Bad Kitty!"  ;)

This is what I didn't want to say to Sherry. Happy Suckering Day, Tyche
and Kumani!

He said, "We can't name them--then we have to keep them!"

Which is exactly what my roommate said to me when I brought Mischief
home.

And the same thing we agreed when I brough Mayhem home.

Very interesting, I guess naming cats "our fate" and "our destiny" aren't
a good way to get rid/give away two kitten. ;o) Ten minutes after I met
Spicey I named her. Joanne said I was keeping her.
