Kitten names needed, warning Kitty Porn!

[WhatNowHmm]

So I'e had this wee guy for a week. He needs a name, I'd love something fitting or clever.

He has a bit of attitude and plenty to say for himself but also a snuggle bug.

Current front runners are Leo/Lionel or something like Eddie/Teddy/Freddie, just dont think anything is quite right.

We lost our beloved Lucy over a year ago aged 17 so he has a lot to live up to!

Claude

Albus

Love Lionel for him as he is a lion.

He's gorgeous! That paw-mark shape on his tummy is adorable.

So cute @fgfgfg.i can definitely see that my guy would look similar as an adult.

It doesn't have to be a people name, please suggest something else if you have an idea. We had Buster, Bandit and Zorro on the list too.

I am struggling to get past Lionel aka Leo though. I just need to check that neither of the boys intends it as a possible future child's name.

He thinks he is big bad leopard even though he weighs less than a bag of sugar.

Roscoe

sacha.
as in sacha distel, the frenchman who sang “raindrops keep falling on my head” - due to the raindrop markings on his tummy.

What about Leopard with Leo for short? Or Perseus with Percy as a nickname?

Cornelius

Or when he gives you a mouse as a present right in the doorway

I’ve thought of another one

Oscar

Love Hector , it's on my Next Cat List

Freddie after a certain Mr Mercury ...... he has a 'tasche !

Terence (Stamp)

Love Barry (after Barry from Sorted Food )

Completely gorgeous!
I am in two camps for animal names. Our current animals all have very much 'pet' names. My suggestions for this little guy would be

Crumble
Fudge
Biscuit
Kipper
Ziggy
Biffy
Wolfie

But previously my animals have had more human names, my suggestions for him being

Jerry
Jonty
Monty
Marlow
Mac
Olly
Caspar
Jasper
Claude
Lenny
Hugo
Sonny
Gino

Clive

Hugo as in Hugo Boss aka boss cat because let’s face it, he will be the boss of the house.

Looks like a Calico!

He’s a Sid

I like this one.

Or Phil.

Basil is lovely. I do love a nature name.

Some brilliant suggestions folks, I think im more confused than ever. I think it would be easier to pick if only 5 names existed. I think having more suggestions has actually made it harder, there are so many I like and so many that suit him but I just feel im missing something obvious/clever and that in 6 months time I'm going to think "oh, I wish I'd named him ...."

I would say that I had as much bother naming my children. I think in the end it was my eldest who was about 7 at the time who suggested Lucy and we went with it as his brothers suggestions were, interesting... So I definitely don't feel bad about leaning more towards his choice this time. They are both easygoing though so there is no jealousy or resentment. DS2 can't even remember what he suggested for Lucy. He once suggested his teacher name her baby Skulduggery or Dave, she was having a girl!

I am in good company
In the lists I have seen the names of:
My husband
My son
3 of my guinea-pigs
2 of my cats
4 of my cars ( Yes I name my cars )

Ferdinand?
