"Different" name for a white cat?

(I'll add photos as soon as he's here.)

Collecting new cat next week, he's pure white. We already have a black cat called Eclipse. DC1chose our first cats name, so DC2 will get final say on this one's name. I thought Moon would be quite cute and match with our first cats name, DC2 likes Ghost. Does anyone have any other suggestions? He's a "pretty" looking cat but doesn't need to have a pretty name, I like quite random names so no "Snowy" and nothing too common (eg Luna, lovely name but I hear it all the time) Grin

My grandmother, a fine Welsh liberal, had a long haired white cat called Lloyd George. I have always loved that name for a cat Grin

Our all-white cat was called Spooky

Be warned that all-white sometimes goes hand in hand with deafness and extreme idiocy.

Only when they have pink or blue eyes. Then they are likely to be deaf or have other impairments.

I have a white cat called one of the names on this thread. Smile

I have a white girl called Pearl, see that yours is a boy though!
Do you want it to be related to his colouring?
If not, human names are very charming and a bit different. Our other cats are called Russell & Frank.

My white cat has blue eyes. He’s not deaf and has no ailments.
