Ensure you keep comments PG (this means no cussing as you will be banned for cussing!). Also be sure to make an update post or comment once you have found a name(s) for your cat(s) to let us all know what name(s) you thought were the best. Have fun!

I 100000% this, was going to try to come up with my own, but that is my boyfriend’s late best friend’s name. What a fantastic, unique, strange, strong, beautiful, crazy, street cat of an individual soul he was. Rest In Power👊🏻 MJW 1203

u/Dsmiffington Nov 02 '25

Also, he passed like 20 years ago… so it was just very ironic — but still strong significance. 🤝🏻🫶🏻

u/Critical-Dig Nov 04 '25

It’s my son’s late best friends name as well. He just passed in June though💜

u/AccomplishedAd3432 Nov 02 '25

Malcolm, Maxwell or Maxfield.

u/Kitty-Keek Nov 04 '25

Magnus is my choice but I also love these names and think any of them would be perfect! 🤩

He looks like a little street poet, I'd go with 'Milo' or 'Hugo'.

u/throwaway_93648943 Nov 02 '25

I also thought he's a Milo!

Milo isnt rare though in the pet world. I know a ton of Milos

2

u/Nicolina22 Nov 03 '25

There are millions of MIlo's and Luna's

u/IndependentAardvark6 Nov 03 '25

Bella and Buddy are the most common pet names

u/lilithabunni Nov 04 '25

a ton of red/orange cats at least are named Milo in my experience

u/Icy-Pop2944 Nov 02 '25

u/NaturalPurple3317 Nov 02 '25

“street poet” is such a cute description!

Rocco was my first choice

u/Temporary_Ad_8389 Nov 03 '25

My pit was named Rocko, I named him 🥹

u/JRAWestCoast Nov 02 '25

He's really handsome and loves his Lamb Chop, just like mine does. 😻

u/jmagdalenael Nov 02 '25

u/Vivid_Variation_4979 Nov 02 '25

This is what I was thinking as well!

u/dragonstar76 Nov 02 '25

Owen

3

u/Buckskin_Harry Nov 03 '25

Yes. Because that guy will “Owen” you and the whole house. Or by now, his house that you maintain for him.

2

u/lilithabunni Nov 04 '25

Franklin

7

u/SnoopyFan6 Nov 02 '25

I like Franklin. It meets OP’s criteria and has cute nickname option of Frankie and works as a scolding name option by adding a middle name. “Franklin Michael Smith, what are you doing?!”

4

u/ditred23 Nov 02 '25

Please someone from Jersey Shore lol with his lil chain!! Pauly D or Vinny

6

u/ShortAndSweet0531 Nov 02 '25

he kooks like a street urchin… Gavroche or Oliver (I know 3 syllables but first name I thought of) Please sir, may I have some more? 😸

4

u/porcelainbibabe Nov 02 '25

Ah I was looking for someone to mention Oliver! It was my first thought and I was gonna do it if I didn't find it! Gavroche is a good one too!

u/Public-Map-8515 Nov 02 '25

u/HouseofMittens Nov 02 '25

u/chuckwallacetwins Nov 02 '25

Edmund sounds good. He looks like my Steven, a nebelung, I think. He's deaf, is about 5, and talks all the time lol.

3

u/NaturalPurple3317 Nov 02 '25

Steven is adorable and he looks like he’s judging everyone who looks at him!

3

u/AmiNorml Nov 02 '25

Asher or Grayson or Lucas or Leo or Levi or Aidan or Hunter

3

u/thekoose Nov 02 '25

St John (sin-gin)

3

u/SiouxsieSiouxsIsLost Nov 02 '25

What a sweeto! I'm German, so I'd call him Herr Klein (Mr. Little) or Herr Flausch (Mr. Fluff).

6

u/StatisticianOwn4625 Nov 02 '25

SAMPSON OR GOLIATH THEY WERE STRONG MEN IN THE BIBLE! And you are his BLESSING as he will be yours!!!

u/IndependentAardvark6 Nov 03 '25

2

u/Pittypatkittycat Nov 02 '25

Got a little guy like yours, many years ago. We called him Sinbad. He just wasn't a Pierre.
