Struggling to think of a name for my incoming boy. It's currently Teddy, which I don't like.

Zebedee

Given that he looks Persian (is he?) then obviously Ezra or Daniel. Or Cyrus.

Vote for Boaz. It’s written all over his face!

LondonFox · 08/05/2024 20:45

Azrael, like Smurfs cat.

@desperatedaysareover, no because my best friend is a bishop. Hence why calling him God or Jesus is probably not a good idea. He approves of Zadok though.

I like Boaz. Just remember they'll be shouting out Boaz '@Toddlerteaplease' at the vets for his appointments

My sister is called Ruth, so that would work 😂😂

Jehovah

No new name suggestions, but just wanted to say yay for you getting another feline overlord!

FakingItEasy · 08/05/2024 21:09

Not in the least bit biblical, but there is a famous cat with the same moustache and he's called Stalin.

Failing that, I like God. Imagine shouting that down the garden. 'God? Where are you? Do you want some biscuits?'

Zion

Ahasuerus was a king of Persia, and is Lord Peter Whimsy's mother's cat. I love LPW!

Obediah. He's a handsome chap.

I snorted when I got to the 'Jesus' comment and then genuinely cackled once I read 'God'

Absolutely incredible. Please call your cat God.

Made me laugh too. Imagine out in the garden, "God, God, come in for your dinner!" Not sure if these have been suggested, but Abraham, Isaac, Jonah, Jonas, Saul?

Years ago, a friend wanted me to call my kittens Gin and Tonic...!

I have a beautiful Teddy. It suits my boy. He's half Maine Coon and half Ragdoll, so he's big and floofy. This wee man is gorgeous whatever you choose to call him.

Ellmau · 08/05/2024 21:13

If it comes to that, Lord Peter is not a bad name for a cat. You would be giving him the proper respect.

Or Wimsey could be cute.

Hidingthegoodchocolate · 08/05/2024 21:16

Magnifi(cat)

Ilovemyshed · 08/05/2024 21:21

Before you decide, just think about sitting in the vet waiting room and the vet coming out and calling for "Jesus yoursurname" or any of the other names!

Canthave2manycats · 08/05/2024 21:39

David/Dave? The neighbours have a dog called Dave. DH says they called the dog after him because I give him a dog's life!!

Toddlerteaplease · 08/05/2024 21:41

My friend has suggested Og the king of Bashan😂

That's exactly why Penelope was going to be called Pickle. So the vet would call out Cheddar & Pickle. However she is definitely a Penelope. 🤣

Deuteronomy

Oh I am delighted that you are a fellow Wimsey fan! I have friends who had a cat called Wimsey. But perhaps you should call him after one of the bells in The Nine Tailors... Gaude, Sabaoth, John, Jericho, Jubilee, Dimity, Tailor Paul
