Her tail and head both have black but her body is all white so I initially thought Oreo. But she will always be the cat I got my first year of medical school so I would love to find a cute name that is either related to or is a medical term!
I also thought Rosalind after Rosalind Franklin but I'm not sure how much I like that. Any suggestions would be awesome 🙂

toxoplasma?

 

[RustBeltOnc]

Lochia

 

[Psai]

kittyligo (kitty/vitiligo)

 

[sinombre]

M. cat-arrhalis

 

[sloop]

One of the only terms/names I can think of from my first year of medical school that would be even close to acceptable as a name for a kitten is Starling (i.e. Ernest Starling of the Frank—Starling law/Starling Curve).

 

[seminoma]

Tenesmus. Or bartonella.

 

[W19]

porphyria ...

 

[MrChance2]

CAT SCAN. hahaha gosh I'm funny sometimes. I'd also highly suggest getting a dog and naming it "Houndsfield" then too

 

[swindoll]

Lol you really should name it cat scan like the post above suggested

 

[Nymphicus]

Pasteurella

 

[Doctor Strange]

I've always thought Telangiectasia or Chlamydia would he a nice name for a southern bell. Maybe even Achalasia.

 

[DocWinter]

Henselae

[typhoonegator]

Mus musculus

Left Bundle Branch Block. You're Welcome.

 

[Stagg737]

Betty or Mel, since you were going to name it Oreo, which would clearly lead to Type 2 diabetes mellitus

 

[LNA]

Someone suggested Whipple above, I actually think that is kind of cute

 

[sinombre]

Dr. Purry Cox

Wish I could like this twice

 

[NontradCA]

Fibromeowsia. Or Druggie for short.

 

[skipdivided]

Fontanelle

 

[fancymylotus]

Rosalind Franklin

 

[nowanmd]

cru d'cat

 

[MrChance2]

Prince PURRulence

 

[fancymylotus]

Lol I just read the OPs initial post more carefully and saw that she didn't like Rosalind Franklin.

Whoops

 

[fancymylotus]

Honestly though if it's something very "medical" I would get annoyed at constantly having to explain to my non med friends what the name meant and at them probably butchering the pronunciation...

 

[TBV]

Melena

 

[hunterjumper14]

Charot? Everything is named for that guy.

 

[MetalloBetalactamase]

Ion. You could introduce her as "my cat, Ion".

 

[Dral]

BOOP

 

[Crayola227]

Life.

That way, whenever she leaves the room, you can say "Well, there went my Life."

Word, you'll have this cat likely beyond the time that you care for the constant reminder of the health care field and all that it has put you through.

I recommend a name you'll like even after a med-mal case ends your career and you're $250K in debt and it's you and kitty sleeping under a bridge eating out of dumpsters. One you and your laymen friends will like and pronounce correctly. One in hindsight you can pretend has nothing to do with a career you are burnt on.

Much the way that if you get lover's name tattooed to your ass that you have a plan to cover it up for the inevitable breakup.

Pawci immune?
Mr. H. Pawlori?
Catsaicin? ( as in Capsaicin)

We had a neighborhood cat who came by our house all M1 and M2. Her name was kitty. ^_^ She came for pets and provided much comfort on the most stressful of days.

 

[Roxas]

C. diff

 

[Kaustikos]

Maybe avoid these if that sort of thing offends you

 

[Silmaril]

Name your kitty TAVR or AIVR, maybe? They sound cool when you pronounce them as words.

 

[MedWonk]

Betty or Mel, since you were going to name it Oreo, which would clearly lead to Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Mel means honey in Portuguese, and Betty leads to Betty Crocker, and therefore diabeetus. You can't win.
