Name help for our new boy!

[mumisfull]

This fella is coming home tomorrow and we need a name for him. He’s a 7 month old rescue. Current front runner is Chewbacca (Chewy for short) - thanks ds! Hit me with your ideas please!

Ernie
Ian
Lemmy
Marvin

Percival (Percy for short)
Ernie
Justin
Terry
Boot (DD's suggestion, don't ask)

Nemo - because you found him and he's orange

Simon Meowell..

I can’t help - I’d vote for Chewy

Sir Lancelot
Fergus

Nando

Rufus
Bob (was Robert the Bruce a red head?)
Hal (Henry VIII was a red head)

Simon

Omg a ginger boy!!! They are the best!!!

Mine is Flynn, which means “son of the red haired one!” He’s absolutely daft but very loyal and cuddly!

Wow that @Ahsheeithas recommended Ian though, my grey tabby is Ian and he’s an absolute rascal (the kind of cat where you look up mid shower and find him sat on top of the shower door 😂)!

Chewbacca sounds more doggy to me.

Tuesday?

Chattanooga Choo Choo, Chooey for short?

Chewy has been a family name for various pets in our family since 1977. Started with a grumpy tortoiseshell stray. Currently held by an ancient terrier with a serious underbite. Great name.

Chewy!
He’s lovely.

Love Chewy! It really suits him! 😍

Does he already have a name? I’m not a fan of changing names, if he’s come from a home or been in rescue for a bit he’ll have a name he probably knows.

Marmalade
Leo
Mango
Merlin
Rusty

They soon adapt to new names.

The late Cheddar firmly believed that all red cats should be called Cheddar. I think I agree with her.

Marvin is a most excellent name and can inspire many many nicknames eg:
Monkey face Marv
Marv the Marvellous
Marv the Man
Etc etc
It also lends itself to being sung in the style of a 50's crooner !
Here's the boy himself - ignoring my vocal stylings - apologies for the full frontal

Stick with Chewy
