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!

Cornelius Von Purr the third

Cornhole for short

I named my cat by seeking suggestions like this and then saying a few to her a few times a day. Her name is the one she woke up from a nap to mew about. She clearly knows that it is her name and responds to it (even if the response is to shut her eyes more so she can’t hear me).

Sir Mittens.

[–] tetchey@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Sitting on a toilet? I'd call him Lou.

[–] Sht_Kckr@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

That's a Morty.

[–] Kenny4tunes@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Archie

Arthur

Winston

Fredrick (Freddie when he's being a good boy) 😏

Wilson

These are the names that easily came to mind when looking at him, what a dapper young man he is already.

Hunter. Just looks like one.

Oscar, Paillion, Pumpernickle

whatever you decide on, you will inevitably call him by a nickname down the line, if you call him Pumpkin, he's gonna be Pumphry by the end of the month

I like it! Maybe Sir Reginald of Purr? What do you think?

[–] Flower@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sir Regalis Fluffington. Reggie for friends.

Sir George Ichabod Humphrey

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Rodney or Dave.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To me the ear size and paw size say he’s gonna be BIG! So the personality might match the final build 😁

I think Loki and Sir George are the best of your top ideas, I’m terrible at coming up with names myself.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, his paws are enormous for his size, and he’ll need some time to grow into them, you should see them splayed. I’ll try to get a photo soon. I think he’s gonna be a big boy.

What a handsome boy! Pumpkin is not bad, agree with the people saying Reginald, that would suit him. Sir Reginald of Pumpkin :)

I like Cedric

[–] thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Stanley Allen McCallister. Sam or Sammie the hammie for short

[–] Snowballfighter@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

May build on your suggested surname with Alistair McAllister? Something about that face screams Alistair and then I saw your suggestion and it felt perfect. Though I love a Stanley as well.
