We recently received a cat which my in-laws had rescued from the side of the road. We made the classic newbie kitten-owner mistake of sexing the cat when too young, and named her Alice. When the cat got older, and demonstrated physical features not found in female cats, a name change was in order. Given that his first initial had previously been A, I was able to covertly social engineer "Mr. A" as the name of the cat, and have since even managed to train my kids to chant his name in unison in a zombie-like tone. I consider this a win.
