His name is clearly Grover.

My friend always said his surname, Jenkins, was the perfect name for a butler.
Penguin.
Sorry. I missed the butler theme. The only proper name for a butler is from the Black Butler anime - Sebastian.
Our black and white is named Penguin. We call her Penny,
Piano was another choice.
Call him Stevens, after the butler from “Remains of the Day”. Sounds good out loud, too.
Wow! You guys are great! Lots of great choices. Thanks so much. We will get him Saturday and throw some names at him and see what he decides he wants to be called. Depending on how he gets along with Magic, I’ll try to post a couple pics of them together.
Jeeves wasn’t a butler, he was a valet.
but surely he was a gentleman’s gentleman?
Gotta post.
Because kitteh!
Not feeling the whole tux thing. First thing I noticed was the orange of his ears (though that’s almost certainly the light). Then I noticed his intense (even for a kitteh) eyes.
I name pets viscerally. Something strikes me, and it’s done.
I look at your cat, and his name is ‘Pumpkin’. The orange flash and eye-burning intensity is a Jack-o-Lantern. I’d never call him anything but ‘Punk’.
And then I’d have to explain why I named a black cat ‘Pumpkin’.
Shit.
His name is Leroy.
Your cat will tell you his name.
Schrödinger. However, probably just a few people would understand the name
comes from the Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment.
Kraken. Whenever you let the cat outside you can yell:
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
(If you don’t mind your neighbors thinking you’re a bit crazy.)
