Little boy, looking regal on the throne. XD

He’s a very curious, talkative tiny explorer with a huge personality.

Looking for something less convenentional (his shelter name was Pumpkin, but I don’t think it suits him).

My top ideas thus far:
Humphrey
Sir George
Loki
Ichabod
Cedric

But I’m not sure, and would love to hear your ideas, too!

Phoenix. He really resembles a freshly born-from-the-ashes Phoenix

Ferdinand Gravy-Boat

Ferdinand from Archduke Franz Ferdinand, so Regal. Gravy-Boat to counter balance.

Has the additional awesomeness of being a DCC character's name.

Funt

As in "this is my cat, Funt"

Catty MC Catface?

Jokes aside - why not David Attenborough? Explorer who loves to talk.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

David Kittenborough is right there

My approach is to wait until I learn their personality and "discover" their name. Don't choose right away. The urge is to pick quickly so that you can call to them. Just stick with "kitty" for a few days or a week. When their true name becomes evident, you'll know.

Congrats! Handsome boy!

That's how you end up with a "GirlCat". Ask me how I know.

[–] StabbingSky@lemmy.zip 3 points 23 hours ago

My wife still calls our newest 'kitty' despite being the one who picked out the actual name.

Whatever you choose, think about what names will evolve from it. Nickname potential is probably even more important than the core name.

That being said, this cat is obviously Persimmon. Percy for short.

Cedric, Lord Imperial Treasurer of Ravenswick, Inspector of the Sovereign.

Although one slight disadvantage- the abbreviation is Clitoris.

Fancy Dan perched atop his fancy can.

I'd say Smug, for the smug look on his face. You could make it like Sir Smug, if you want something more royal. Although I think he looks more like a smug prince :)
