Cats! Help name them.
I've adopted two kittens! They were captured with their mother in a feral cat colony out in the farmland somewhere around Davis. As much as I love cats, feral cats are a terrible ecological problem; they eat their way through the native bird population astonishingly quickly. The mother is supposed to be a champion huntress, which is kind of bad. She is too wild to become a house-cat, but fortunately not wild enough that she would have to be put down. Evidently she's been spayed, and will eventually gain employment as an official rodent control officer at a farm or vineyard, safely away from nesting areas.
However, I have a problem. I don't know what to name them! They have provisional names, but they're already growing out of them. They are brothers, so I'd like to name them accordingly. If you know any good names of brothers, or brothers-in-arms, from history or literature, please post below.
Candidate names are :
- Buzz and Neil
- Romulus and Remus
- Castor and Pollux
- Lio and Erasmus
- Watson and Crick
- Wilbur and Orville
- Yuri and Glenn

* Kilo and Graham
* NaN and Inf
* CatOne and CatTwo
It's even better if you insist that (3) be pronounced "cah-TONE-ay".
