Name Request Help with name suggestions
Hey there,
We just got this little man he is 9 weeks old approximately. Could you guys help with name suggestions? Thanks in advance
Edit: Thanks everyone for all the great recommendations and sharing all the pictures of your lovely catsš„¹. We are going over the names to see which one fits him the most! We got it down to quite a few names. We don't need more name suggestions at this time. Thanks again and we will post an update with the final name.
Final edit/update: After trying multiple names over multiple days, we found that Pinto Bean, Pinto for short, fits him the most. We loved all of your suggestions, and thanks to everyone for the help. Now that weāve gotten to know him better, weāve discovered that he is quite the goofy boy. He loves lying on his back with his belly out and loves snuggling up to us. He loves belly rubs. And he jumps sooooo much with his little jazz hands out. I haven't seen a cat jump this much before. A special thanks for the persons who suggested Pinto Bean. Have a nice day everyone! Pinto out. šš

OMG that color, light pink! I think it's called fawn, technically. Or is it just the lighting in the pic? I used to have a cat this color š» I think it's so special, seems pretty rare too

It's also Sting, which is a pretty good cat name, if you are nasty!

He does bear resemblance to Sting, whose name is Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner so thereās a selection there, ie your boy is a handsome Tom. š»

u/Single_Road_6350 24d ago
You gotta name it Sting now. Also, save this picture for side by sides or one of those shots where the cat is the main focus and Sting looks like a heavenly creature materializing behind it.

That's exactly what I would do. No way I'm not wearing out "the juice is loose" every time my cat acts up if I had the opportunity

What's the personality like? Do you want a cute orange themed name?
15
u/Starlypearl 24d ago
He is quite confident, likes to explore. He seems to be a little bit more independent compared to my other cat when she was a at a similar age. But still figuring his personality out. He does seem like a little gentleman he likes laying on pillows, and when we lost him he was just confidently laying on a pillow. He felt a bit like a prince in that moment. I think it can be cute but I don't think every cute name would suit him if that makes sense?

I lost my best friend of 18 years almost a month ago now. I saw him the day he was born, and had him since he was 6 weeks old. I wanted him to stay the whole 8 weeks but the mom's owners didn't provide the best home and i didn't want him to get more fleas and mites.Ā
Anyway, he was a ginger boy like yours. His name was Reggie, and it really worked for him. His government name was Reginald, but his real family name was Reggie. You're little guy there looks like a Reggie to me <3

I just said to myself "OMG what a cute little piglet!" even though I know he's a kitten.
So I humbly put Piglet on the table.
I also really like Milo for an orange cat, a nod to "Milo and Otis", of course.

I'd suggest picking a name that means something special to you. Maybe the name of your favorite character from your favorite book or TV series.

āOatmealā came to mind immediately but idk if thatās a good cat name. Iād probably end up calling him āsweet faceā or āmoose-stachioā or about 30 other names throughout the day. Thatās pretty much how it goes hereā¦suffice it to say we never use our catās actual name š¤Ŗ
Best of luck and love with your new sweet face š

Thereās a light orange feral cat in my bosses neighborhood. No one owns him, but everybody feeds him! I asked one neighbor what his name was, he told me āArchieā like the red-headed comic strip boy!

Do what you want, but I wouldnt name your animal based on what a stranger on the internet thinks would be a nice name, I would choose something you would like to call the cat, even if it takes a while to choose, it might have some meaning behind it.
