Oooh, a tuxedo, they're mad fkrs. Is it the Chinese people who call them cow cats? I have one. I named her Sparrow, after captain Jack sparrow. Because she's absolutely mad. No fear. She once brought a rat into my house, she's a particularly small cat, people think she's still a kitten, the rat was nearly as big as her. It was biting her, she didn't care. She was in heaven. I was holding a bucket over this rat, side note, I'm ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of rats, so I'm holding this bucket with a book, and my plan is catch and release. But I'm terrified, so I'm just holding this bucket and shaking and not really able to go near the rat. The rat got so sick of being attacked by my cat, it walked to the bucket and put itself in. Like just with, I'm done with this, vibes. And I took it outside. And ran back inside squealing ew.
Try saying random words till the cat comes to you. When it does, repeat the last couple words till you find out what they are coming to. That is their name. That's how I ended up with a perpetual kitten named Mike Wazowski. She loved playing fetch with small balls of aluminum foil.
I rescued my cat and his name was Peter Frampton. Adopted two dogs a few years later and named them Jake the Dog and Samantha Carter.
Now as a gay millennial couple, with zero desire for kids, we can tell people we have Pete, Sam, and Jake. Everyone just assumes it's three children. Great excuse for getting out of things early.
By weird chance, I was watching Stargate SG-1 yesterday (with the character Sam Carter), and also sang a Peter Frampton song at one of my cats this morning.
You can't name your kitty based on appearance. I mean, you can. But their name becomes evident as you learn their personality. It was maddening taking around four days to understand the name of one of mine, but it fit perfectly. That's how you find out their name. They already have that name. You just have to discover it.
Congrats! I you guys have many years of loving friendship. Also, kitty is probably in a state of shock. Kitty deserves some tuna.
Once upon a time, I did a similar call for names for my cat. After I had some I started randomly saying them at her. Her name is the one she woke from a nap to mrrrr? at. I’m not saying it’s because she chose it, but she really clearly knows her name.
Not sure why I immediately thought about The Count of Monte Cristo or his real name Edmond Dantès, depending on if he's plotting revenge for being exiled from the bed or not.
That there is Hank Sassley, lower management personnel from a strip-mall based independent accounting firm. Good guy. Calls ya "Champ" when he meets you.

Newman.
Saying Hello Newman every time you come home would be a lot for fun
Exactly.
I mean, Crunchwrap is an amazing name. But I also think he kinda looks like the knights who say nii from Monty Python. So maybe something around that.
Shrubbery.

Give him a fully human-style name and surname, like "Dave Smith" or "Paul Wilson" or something like that.

Gordito. Gordy for short.
I feel like animals live up to their names, so this one may not be a good one. I also tell anyone trying to name a pet Loki or Lucifer not to do it.
What did Lucifer ever do wrong? Is bringing light to your life really so bad to live up to?
Lucifer's great crime was to "bring the light" (show the truth) to heaven. God struck down the only person who would speak truth to power.
"Dawg"
including the double quotes I suppose
Furris Mewler.
Anyone? Anyone?...Mewler?

We have a similarly patterned cat that we named Hydrox because Oreo sounded too generic. Droxie now rules the house. Good luck naming your kitty

Mr. Fancy Pants

I would go for your favorite expletive. So when you see the mess he made and cuss he'll come and look at you. Probably with disdain.

Achilles, because he looks like he is wearing one of those ancient Greek helmets.
Don’t leave us hanging OP! What did you name the little guy?
We've settled on Mongolian Beef. Mongo for short. Fits his personality. He's a goddamned terror.
Do you happen to have a donut as well?
Call it Choco I think. Latte also works.
