When I was little my sister and I got a kitten, which my Dad told us was female. Obviously the right name to call a female kitten at that time was Tinkerbell.
Apparently the anatomy of a cat's down parts is not a class taught at medical school, or at least not for cancer doctors - our cat, Tinkerbell, we soon realized, in fact, had a penis.
My older, and wiser, sister decided that Tinkerbell had to be renamed. Rufio was what she and some of our family friends came up with. I hated the name, I didn't want our kitten to be name Rufio so badly I went upstairs, interrupted my parent's dinner party and made it obvious - by crying my eyes out and making a big scene about what an ugly name it was.
Since I am the baby of the family, and the most pouty, the cat remained named Tinkerbell. It had gender identity issues. On the bright side, as the always is one, at least I was happy.

If memory serves me correct, my highschool friend Megan had a cat named Chloe. It was in fact a boy. It too had gender issues.
Kewl.
I think you were just years ahead of your time, Katie. Cross gender names are the shit.
(I feel the need to say that since I obviously have a boy's name and my husband has a girl's name. More than once people has said after we were introduced "now, who's Kelli and who's Morgan?")
Kelli and Morgan are names that could possibly go both ways.. Generally they are girls names but that doesn't mean you don't see the opposite sometimes..
Tinkerbell, on the other hand, is one of the most feminine names.. EVER.
I think I'd have issues if my parents called me a manly disney character like... Gastone.
..but then again, I am a human, and my brain is much more capable of understanding gender identity than a cat.
I think you totally could pull off Gaston.
On the other hand, I don't think you have enough chest hair.
Kelli I don't think you have seen my sisters chest...she would make any Italian man jelouse!
Shorty...you always did...or should I say do get what you want. Remember the shaving issue. Sure it makes you laugh ever time but it makes me cringe. Loves Ya
I named my first cat meatball.
Bri, you named that cat Rosie Meatball. Only later it was shortened to Meatball.
You were a weird kid.
It was a great name though and I think after my next dog (who will be named Chester Copperpot), I might consider naming it Meatball.
CHESTER COPPERPOT!!!!
Morgie and I orginally wanted to name Buddy, Dr. Cockandballs, but we chickened out once we got to the vets and had to write down what his name was.
Nugger.
