Friendly remark
in reply to a message by Chrisell
I know a cat named Matilda & she carries the name so well. We adore it on her & call her Tillie for short which happens to be number 11 on your list. I don't agree that a British Blue should necessarily have a British name. One wouldn't necessarily give a Siamese cat a Thai name because of its Thai origins.

Um . . .
I was stating my opinions and feelings, not laying down facts. If you like & recognise Matilda for a cat, good for you. That doesn't mean I have to like it! And I still don't, despite your opinion differing from mine.
"One wouldn't necessarily give a Siamese cat a Thai name because of its Thai origins."
Yes, but I wasn't talking about Siamese cats or even cats in general. I was talking about British Blue cats, and in their specific case, I feel that they belong best with a very British name. You don't have to agree, it's an opinion.
I'm hardly going to change my opinion just because you don't agree with it! It's presumptuous to ask me to, as well as illogical, since you're not changing your opinion just because I have a differing one.
Please don't try to control other peoples' opinions. You will find that an attitude like that will get you into strife very quickly on these boards. That's a friendly warning :-)
