Darcy, Featured Cat of the Month
Darcy was born on April 17, 2008, at exactly 4:30 PM (EST). He was Ginny's second kitten and also the second largest. I had named the charcoal gray tuxedo kitten Emerson, but not quite a month later, on May 14, I changed his name to (Mr.) Darcy. At the time, I was watching movies based on Jane Austen's novels, which influenced my decision. Besides, neither Darcy nor the other kittens had been called by their names yet. So as far as Darcy or the others knew, Darcy had been his given name from birth.
