How Did I Come Up With the New Kittens' Names??

First, let me introduce the other three furry beasties (photos below):

Tango (the Tiger) -- Who is white with orange markings. He's the biggest of the boys and very affectionate. Purrs up a storm and rubs against my leg. He sits watch at the window facing the front yard to check out the action (lots of neighbor dogs being walked)and let the outside animals know to Beware of Cats inside.

Sierra (the Scaredy Cat) -- She is the smallest and has a white body with a black tail and black diamond marking on her forehead. She has been the most timid but is starting to show her playful side -- she races to the closed door when the older cats are lurking on the other side and tries to lure them to put their paws under the door so she can play footsie with them.

LoverBoy (that says it all) -- This handsome black and white boy with very soft fur and an adorable face is super affectionate and desirous of my attention at all times. He also "plays well with others" cuddling and wrestling with his five siblings.

Now, how does one come up with six kitten names in a hurry? Luckily, my friend Gita (known as Geet), an experienced cat mom herself, came over to meet the adorable ones and had a brilliant idea. She suggested we look up the Aviation Alphabet -- think Alpha, Bravo, etc. -- and draw from there, which we did for four of the six names (Charlie, Oscar, Sierra & Tango). Bellissima and LoverBoy felt they should have something a little different. Here is the whole list, in case you want to use them yourself:

Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-Ray, Yankee, Zulu

Tomorrow I'll explain why I'm sleeping on the guest bed.
Until then...
