How about Sinatra? (Old Blue Eyes) Marbles or Felix Caesar I don’t normally like cats but that kitten is cute. Especially like his eyes. Hence my suggestion of Marbles. ---

He’s so adorable. 🙂 I like Jeeves as a kitten/cat name. Or Chester. Or Miles. Or any name that reminds you of a stereotyped butler or chauffeur. Of course, the orange post by **xbuckeye** was a fun read. ---

Fuzzbutt or Murray. He looks like a Murray. ---

Something unusual and not kittenish, or catish. For example my son found a kitten and a puppy in a box alongside the road. A friend took the puppy and we took the kitten. Son was in his fot-rod phase at the time and named the cat after a line of high performance engine cams, Iskandarian. Shortened to Isky. ---

Gilligan (since he’s your little buddy). I like “Marmalade”, but it’s not a practical name. How about “Jambo”? ---

I tend to do oddly associated names, so I saw the list of orange names upthread, thought of the little Clementines at the market, and liked the name Clement for him. We had an orange guy named Terence who soon became known as Terence the Terrible. My mother then got an orange guy who looked just like Terence. She named him Ivan the Terrible. And we had an orange guy named Tuffy, but we didn’t name him that. He was my sweetheart. ---

Anal retentive kitten, eh? How about “Adrian” or “Monk”? 😃 ---

The eyes will certainly always be cute, but they most likely won’t always be blue. Them’s kitten eyes and unless he’s part Siamese will change color later. ---

A friend of mine had a male orange cat named Tang. If he routinely launches himself like a rocket, it just might work. (My orange cat is named Lucky, BTW.) ---

Ok, I’ve looked at the pictures and gone “SQUEEEE!” I’ve showed the pictures off to other people & made them say “SQUEEE!” I’ve been patient, but it’s been at least 3 days. Have you decided yet what to name the kitten? Inquiring minds want to know! 😉 ---

See and here I was thinking my lil’ old thread had been forgotten! Anywho, I have decided to name him Toby.
