The wife has found us a new kitten that she has reserved as we lost our much loved cat a few weeks ago 🙁
It going to need a name (it's a boy) - it's a maine coon and should be large. Our other cat is called megatron, so needs to have a strong name. Extra points if it's amusing when we call it in.
Current favourites: Craig David (great name for a cat if you ask me...), Augustus, Genghis (cat).

He will be massive. Our ragdoll male is Simba, previous male (got run over) was Mtoto.
We have a big tortie - Tiggy a female, a rescue ginger ninja short haired tabby - LEO, SIMBA the big White ragdoll, and Luna the purple grey ragdoll female.
Pick a male 'lion king' name.

This was the name of one of the maine coons that lived over the back of us. Until we found out he was actually called Rocky. I preferred Vader.
Mrs Zigzag suggests:
Uncle Monty

My stock answer for all animals is Dave. But he looks more like a Geoff.
Spacekarateninjabastard.... you're welcome
Our cat is called Jan Aga Fjortoft
so how about Paul Scholes?
Graeme. Because, my ginger mate is called Graeme...
I’m going to go with either Lion-O or Tygra.
He makes me think of a sunburst or something, so if you want to go with a Roman theme you could call him Lumis.
Roscoe P Coontrane
Tikka Masalla. 😈
Mr Meowgi
He looks a bit like Chuck Norris. Colouring and beard shape.

@countzero good choice, I once had a ginger cat called Gizmo ... he was a fantastic old chap!

Cat. There's loads of roaming neighbourhood cats round mine, and they all answer to Cat.
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter--
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum-
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover--
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

Simon.
Donald.
Amy Adams?
Julianne Moore?
I always want to go for Bond baddies but that gets overruled. Our new Maine Coon is Rowley Birkin QC because by the time Mrs P realised who it was it was too late.
Rees-Moggy?
Fluffy, Destroyer of Worlds
Pinochet
Thunder? Surname Cat.
Admiral Akbar
Admiral Akbar
Don’t call him this
It’s a trap
Galore
Simba with that nose
Field-Marshal Doctor Kitty Amin Dada
or Toxoplasma
He looks like ours. Ours is called Jeff.
Sudacream ?
Brompton
He looks like a Colin.
Although I think he'd suit Herod.
Mace Onion
Eamon Icon
Eco Minoan
Acenomino
Above are anagrams of his breed.
Always liked the idea of calling a cat Monty. So you can holler the Withnail and I quote down the garden when calling it in for the night.
"Brompton" the foldable feline.
On a serious note have his parents been screened for HCM? We lost one of our lovely Maine Coons, Wilf aged 5, we only found out through a routine vet appointment where they spotted his arrythmic heart beat, he didn't last long after that 🙁
