Not Gromit Smile

And not for a baby but a very smart male Tuxedo cat!

The shortlist so far is:

Rufus
Rupert
Ralph
Gabriel (Gabe)
Raphael (Rafa)
Humphrey
Sebastian
Albert (Bertie)

Any favourites or other suggestions?

I'm also pregnant and trying not to use any names that we might want for this or future babies!

Thank you for your help and suggestions. Now for baby names!!!

Thank you for so many brilliant suggestions! I'm just going to meet him now so shall see what he looks like when he gets home. Percy is closest to his current name (which I can't use as it's awful and he's only had it for a month or so anyway!) but there are so many great ones to choose from.

Here is a photo of him on a recent modelling shoot for a florist. Apparently he was the star of the day!

Awww, it's got to be Gromit, though.....

LocalEditorLancashire · 11/11/2014 21:10

The 2 W would be a concern for their post getting muddled up Grin

Geoffrey.

But it must be with a 'G'

Jeffrey with a 'J' just doesn't sound right with Wallace.

Oh dear this could be rather a long list! I'm adding Percy, Geoffrey and Bernard. Love Wilfred but not sure about two W names!

My brother's "tuxedo" cat (love that- haven't heard it before) is called Tails. Which I think is very clever.
