If it sits equally split for too long maybe a week long final poll between the two? (Though come on people, Vote Bob!)

From 3007 members only 30 have voted so far...that makes 2977 possible votes for VeeAmy! :grin:

By the way; I would say that the cat is a Tortoiseshell cat (hopefully the correct translation for the german Schildpatt). So a female name for her would fit much better as male Tortoiseshells are very rare :sweat_smile:

Why Alfred is so popular? Iā€™m interested for science purpose :nerd:

YEAH, We are here for science! :bulb: So, besides from being a really cute name for a kitten, IĀ must tell you thereā€™s a few famous Alfreds we could talk about here.Ā 

First and foremost, Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth, know in pop culture as Bruce Wayneā€™s valet.Ā After a varied career, Alfred was employed as the Wayne family valet when Bruce Wayne's parents were killed. Alfred raised the little batman and reluctantly aided him in his quest to become a hero. His many skillsā€” ranging from cooking to medicineā€”make him Batman's best ally.Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

Secondly, we have AN ASTRONAUT! I mean, how cool is that? Alfred Worden wasĀ aĀ NASA Astronaut & Apollo 15 Command Module Pilot. His work is known to be unique and prestigious,Ā Worden logged more than 295 hours in space.

Last but not least,Ā we haveĀ Alfred Bernhard Nobel, a swedish chemist, engineer, and industrialist who invented dynamite and other more powerful explosives! He is also known as the founder of the Nobel Prize, the worldā€™s most prestigious prizeĀ for intellectual services rendered to humanity.Ā 

Ā 

I know the name suggestions are done, but i would also add Albert (as in for Einstein) and Alan (as in for Turing). And why not a girlā€™s name? Like Grace, reminding us of Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, our most esteemed computer scientist and programmer!Ā 

Whatā€™s the community take on this? Let me know whoā€™s your favorite Alfred!Ā :joy:


Thank you for the explanation! :D

@julianaramosĀ that was an awesome post and Alfred Pennyworth will forever be my favourite Alfred!

Ā 

I feel the need to raise the stakes for my Bob the Blogcat now, forget the 2020 Presidentials, this is the real vote!

So, why Bob the Blogcat?

  1. In the UK there is a famous story called ā€œA Street Cat Named Bobā€, of a guy called James Bowen, who was a busker and drug addict, had nothing going for him, the one day a stray cat that James later named Bob started to accompany him and wouldnā€™t leave his side, and this turned his life around, James realised he had someone to care for and pulled his life together and has shared his story with the world. In keeping with the terrible theme ofĀ 2020,Ā Bob unfortunately passed away this year. So we can immortalise this helper in our forum.
  2. I just liked the bobcat/blogcat pun. Since he features on the Awesome Blogger Badge, I thought it was appropriate.
