It seems to me Ice was an opposite to Fire and Weasel and Cat are 
alternate animal names. The corresponding IceCatination would be to use 
the opposite of thunder and a different very general name like bird for 
example Silentfish or Mutehorse or Peacepig. Or we could try to make it 
sound cooler than Thunderbird and abandon this kind of mimicry altogether.

Of course it should probably be up to the person who does the actual 
coding to choose the name rather than the rest of us in the peanut gallery.
