I’m weak and I’m still letting myself doodle more for that story I am not writing. I’m really sucked-in guys. If I’d told myself to go for it I would’ve already lost interest. This is so dumb but this is how my brain works.

If, theoretically, Bucky had a box of orphaned/abandoned kittens he was bottle-feeding, and he’d secretly named them, just for his own reference, what do you think he would name them?

There are five, two females and three males. One female is a loudmouth gray tabby, one male is a black tabby with cream and gray who likes to ride inside Bucky’s hood, and the other three are tuxedo kitties. 

He also walks the big dogs at the local shelter, which are too big for the little old lady who mostly volunteers there. There’s an exuberant German Shepherd mix female who is utterly devoted to him, and he to her, though he won’t adopt her because that’s a promise he can’t keep. But if she had a name, what would it be?

I am taking any and all suggestions. Because I’m not really writing this, see, but I just like to think about it. (OK to use chat, messages, asks, whatever, or comments on Dreamwidth or LJ.)

(I was leaning toward him naming the kittens for the Howling Commandos but then, the females? unless he’s genderbending them? he wouldn’t name any of them for steve or peggy because in this verse those two are still alive and active and possibly trying to bring him in to what they think will be safe custody.)
