Sweet Ariel tagged me for this fun little Meme!
Here are the rules : Post a link to the kitty who tagged you, and post the rules on your blog. List your real name, how you got your real name, nicknames you like/tolerate, and nicknames you wish your humans would stop calling you. Tag several kitties, and write a comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged. I wrote about this once before here, but here they are again!
My name was destined to start with a "P." There was no doubt about this because Puff and Powder were already here and I had a "One Who Came Before" sister-kitty named Payton who was very dear to the family. My name had to start with "P" and when my Daddy first spotted this feral, skinny, sorry-looking kitty in the alley behind his apartment (me!!!), the "I wonder what I can name this kitty" had started - even before my Mommy knew I existed. If you click on my Catster badge you can learn a lot more about this. Anyway, as I started to trust Daddy and it became apparent that I was going to join the family, Mommy and Daddy started to try out names. Here are some examples that did not pass the test - Pumpkin (please, me?, Pumpkin?), Posey, Pandora, Pella, Piker, Puck, Peeker and Pouilly (pronounced Poo-Lay) 'cause that's my Mom's favorite wine. Pouilly almost was my name, but Mommy did NOT want my nickname to be "Poo." Parker seemed to fit and I would look at Daddy when he said it. Parker it was - but here's the thing a lot of you kitties don't know. My name is pronounced like this...."Paaaakha." Why? Because of a little girl who lived in the apartment next to my Daddy. She was fascinated by me and always would point at me and say "Paaaaaaaakha!" It stuck. And I am glad it did, cause if you knew me in real life, I am a Paaaaaaaaakha. Here's the household nicknames -

Thanks for telling us how your name is pronounced Parker. :) Your name suits you. :) You all have a lot of fun, silly and interesting nicknames! :)
We are very glad your name is not Poo.
We pronounce your name Paaakaa anyway, cause our Mom and Nama & Grampy use to live somewhere far away called Massachusetts. That's a long word. And they talk funny there.
Wow, that are a lot of nicknames you have. I think I will do this meme, too. Although most of the names are German..
Airplane ears???
Dear Parker,
We have a saying here, while cat puts their ears back, we call it airplane ear~!
I don't know if it's the meaning you say, but it's here we say~!
You all have great nicknames~~
