Name help please!

We are utterly stumped! This gentle boy is 16 weeks. We’ve had him a week and he’s still quite timid but is such a gentle soul, quite reserved, loves his food… he doesn’t like being picked up very much but is getting more trusting by the day.

We’ve spent hours looking at cat name websites but nothing fits. I think he needs quite a gentlemanly name if that makes sense?

Any suggestions most welcome!

Gus
zippy
alfie
Teddy suits him! (Short for Theodore?)

He looks like a Malcolm to me.

How come you got him quite late? Did someone else decide not to take him?

not sure to be honest- didn’t really feel we could ask and everyone had fallen in love with him by then! Rational thought went out of the window

He's beautiful
Hector
Sid - Sidney if he's naughty
Fergus
Hamish
Hugo
Reginald - Reggie for short
Prince 😂
Or just special boy ❤️

Or Blue
Teddy is cute
If he's naughty I'll have him!😁

Lord Hubert Schubert.

Hubie for short - pronounced Whobee, obviously! 😉

He is the one and only Ambrose.

Our Blue British Shorthair who is 13 weeks is called Benjamin 😀

I’m loving all the names, and he thanks you for the kind comments 😊

Montgomery but Monty for short.

I know a beautiful cat called Cosmo who has a very similar coat

Was going to suggest Earl too.
A friend has a very similar make of cat called Cedric. 😁

Hieronymus -Hero for short
Ash
Chaucer
Alvin
Frank
Tarzan

A week isn't a long while really, he'll get there.

I have bengals and two of mine I got at 17 weeks, they were still little really. It took one of them a full year to sit on my knee (and then he never moved!) but it was worth it. My girl I got when she was three, she took a bit of time but she's basically a cuddly toy now!

Anyway, names! I think he looks like a Benedict or a Hugo. Although I quite like an old man name on a cat so I'm throwing in Alan too!

He looks like a Sir or Captain to me - Captain Smokington or Sir Dustalot or Major Charcoal

Apollo
Zeus
Maximus
Hera

I am loving the randomness and imagination with some of these names 😂

Lovely to hear that yours turned into snuggle monsters! Gives me hope.
our boy has come on so much in a week, but he’s effectively acting like a very posh rescue cat 🙄😂

Beau
Jasper
Charcoal

Percival
Reginald
Cecil
Ralph
Zorro
Jean-Luc

And of course Keith!

He looks like a Barnabas to me!

I think he's a Conrad.

Or maybe Sylvester.
