I'm looking for ideas on what to name a new cat. He's male, 2 years old. He's a ginger, white with a few large orange patches. I'm still not sure about his true personality, was thinking of a name that matches his personality. His previous owners, my neighbors from across the street were neglectful, throwing him out all night in the cold crying, and they were always screaming, so this cat is skittish, but definitely not aggressive. He's gentle, and I have a feeling he's a sweet boy. Anyway, I'd love some ideas! I don't know what the previous owners called him, usually just "pain in the a**!"

Jasper. It’s the name of a dragon in a book I just read and the stone matches the cat

Our entire family names all pets after foods. Here we go... Creampuff, Milkshake, Pork-n-Beans (due to his toes), Sushi, Salad, Peaches, Biscuits and Caviar.

From your description, I would choose Ichigo for your kitty. It's Japanese for 🍓 strawberry 🍓 and the orange haired main character who never gives up from Bleach the manga/anime.

Potato! Works best if he's a bit on the chubby side. I've also always thought that Miso would be a lovely name on a ginger cat.

Based on his colors call him Julius for the orange Julius drink. Lots of good nicknames from that too Jules, Julie, OJ, JJ, JuJu, etc.

We adopted 3 kittens, 2 males and 1 female, one tiny male kitten always hissed at us, my late wife, a Scot, named him Wee Willie Wallace, the other one was named Bobby the Bruce, and the calico female was named Midori.

I named my cat Fatso Franko. My old cat was a ginger called Meat, short for Meat-Head. My mom had two tuxedo males I called Dingle and Mr. Burt. Mr. Burt had a brother who was all white, I called him Ding-Dong. Cat names really depend on their personality.

I always name my pets after characters I like. Based on your description I would name him Malingo. It comes from Clive Barker's Abarat series. But Malingo is a character introduced as a victim, escapes with the main character from this situation, and is really kind/loyal despite lacking some confidence. (He's also conveniently orange!)

We have some character names on our long list of names we have 'Spot', Data's cat in Star Trek Next Generation, and 'Ichigo' from Bleach. I've never heard of Abarat, but based on what you've told me and what I just looked up, it sounds like a good fit. Malingo is going on the short list. Thanks 😁

Our first male cat was Vergil, but he died very soon. Long story short, eventually we got two new kittens, girl Rikku and boy Dante.
Yep, all names are from video games, my husband is a nerd (FF10 and DMC4).
