I've always given my pets "people names". For some reason all my cats have been male and I've always named them English boy names. I'm not sure why I just seem to love these names. My newest addition is Nigel and it just seemed like a perfect fit. He's very distinguished yet mischevious! I chose the name because I really love it but after doing a little research on its meaning I found that it is derived from the Latin Nigellus meaning black. It suits him perfectly!
