Yes, naming is important. And sometimes I think cats tel us their names... for example, our little black cat became "Shadow" because he would always follow me around from room to room, no matter where I went; even if he was in the middle of a nap, he'd follow me. So he was like my shadow. "BeBe" is actually short for "Bowling Ball" because she's always been very ROUND and fluffy, and has three black dots in a pattern almost like a bowling ball. But you're right about "negative" names, which is how she got to be "BeBe."
