I’m sure Bob Eubanks could have used that so many years ago on The Newlywed Game.
Call him CT - Coal Tar.
I like Icky. Call him Ike for short.
Exactly what I thought. Loch Ness Kitty…Ness fer short
Inky, and then you can sing “Inky dinky do” at him all the time!
Go with the obvious…
Shadow.
If female…the best cat name is Jo-Jo. 
Toomy (short for Bituminous - type of coal) Or Anthracite or Lignite.
How about Albedo?

I like Jonesy too. When I was a kid, Jonesy was the name of my imaginary friend.
I actually thought of Deathwish or something along those lines because both times he’s been in my car so far, all he wanted was to get under the freakin’ pedals. I’d sit him on the passenger seat, he’d lunge for the area under my legs, I’d grab him and put him back, and we’d repeat the process constantly for the entire drive. At one point he made a move for the backseat, so I figured I’d just let him go since he couldn’t get into much trouble back there. Little bastard went under the driver’s side seat and popped up underneath my legs again!
I think I am going to go with Dante for the name. Thanks for the suggestions, all. I just got back from taking him over to my mom’s house to show him off. She knows two things - cats and sports - so when I told her I was thinking of naming him Dante, she said, “Oh. Hi little Culpepper!” 
“No, that’s Daunte, Mom.”
“Oh. Well, who’s Dante, then?”
“Nevermind.”
Machine Gun Monkey!!!
One of these days, someone has to take this one…
Tiberius. Oliver (Ollie). William (willie). Elliot (Ellie).
Pepper.
Furball.

Dante is a good name. I was going to suggest “Smudge”.
I had a black cat, “Shadow.” Great cat! One thing: some say you want to keep her in on Halloween b/c there are weirdoes out there…well, you know.
OK, another suggestion. Chat noir?
Why not go back and get one of his littermates to keep him company?
But when you transport cats in the car, you need to use a Cat carrier.
I vote you name it Fopsey.
I think he’s going to be an indoor cat anyway. There’s a law against outdoor cats in my town. If somebody catches your cat outside and knows you’re the owner, you can expect to get a knock on the door from a couple of policemen (this is what cops do when they work in a town with virtually no crime) bearing a carrier containing your cat and nice fine for you to pay. This happened several times to my parents growing up because of a particularly assholish neighbor.
I don’t really have room for two of the little buggers, though I’m starting to wish I did. His grey brothers and sisters were so damned cute.
I don’t anticipate driving with him in the future, but if I do, I’ll be sure to borrow a carrier from someone. Dante makes driving scary!
You know, I really am liking the little guy more and more. The lady I got him from said that he was the friendliest one of the litter, and boy does it show. He curls right up on my lap and falls asleep. It’s just so adorable.
She also said he’d need to be litter trained, but I set up a litter box and Dante found it right away. The very first time he did his business in his new home was in the box! Apparently momma cat taught him well.
Vincent or Vinny
Coltrane (“coal” trane)
Neutrino? 
Seriously, he is very very tiny and cute and I think Dante is a great name!
As a 2 cat owner, it really is just as easy to have 2, two kittens are great for amusing each other and staying out of trouble (mostly).
Dante and Beatrix would be too awesome!
Ha! Good one!
Too bad you’ve chosen the Dante moniker, because based on this, I would have suggested Harold, as in Harold and Maude and the guy who keeps acting out suicide scenarios.
I’m going to keep lobbying for Kibble until someone names a cat that, darn it.
