I liked the suggestion of Domino, but it seems to imply he falls down a
lot. Like Jim did, it can be a good idea to experience a cat for awhile
before naming it so the name fits. My Jack, Braveheart, and Slugger were
named that way. On the other hand, Mick and Seamus were simply given
names I would have given my kids if I'd ever had any. Mick is actually
named for Michael Collins; he is very black and very cocky. My sister
named her two sibling cats Connelly and Larkin after two other Irish
patriots.

I concur- time for a new vet.  Any decent vet with a vet tech should be 
able to manage a simple blood draw.  I've never heard of this.  A very 
good friend of my does alot of feral rescues and through an local 
organization get care (and spay/neurter) too.  She's never been turned 
away because a vet "can't" do a basic procedure.  I suspect your vet got 
bitten and has not dealt this the "fear-factor" since then.  But- in the 
meantime- I'd find a new vet to go to.
