Name it afters his color, thats what I did with my cats. Like Blacky.
Orangy, Pinky or Greyie. Whatever color it is.
If he has extra toes call him Feet!
Nāranja (the original Sanskrit for the color we call ‘orange’)
Sunny
Carrot
Xavier
Vidor (it means ‘cheerful’ in Hungarian)
Finn (Finnegan – meaning “fair-haired”)
OJ—like the juice not the criminal.
Rum Tum Tiger—there’s a possibility of many nicknames with this one.
Yes, but don’t forget T.S. Eliot.
My ex and I had an orange tabby – Benny.

He is absolutely gorgeous, orange tabbys or tigers (Is there a difference) were always my favorite and always seem to have the best personality, more people oriented and dog like.
Anyhow, I like tf’s Rum Tum Tiger.
The last one I had was named Boris Boom Boom Becker. (So named while Boris was still a tennis master, not a broom closet blow job kind of guy.)
Oscar especially if he is a little on the wilde side
If he has a personality that reminds you of someone, you could name him after that person.
Or name him after a famous artist (Monet, Degas, O’Keefe, Dali), famous musician (Chopin, Bach, Beethoven, Holst), famous author (Shakespeare, Goethe, Herodotus, Rowling), famous character (Puck, Harry, Ron, Crookshanks, Scrimgeour) or similar.
Since he’s got lots of hair, you could call him Picard for irony’s sake.
I’ve always wanted to call a pet “Lunch”.
Not, obviously, because I want to eat my pets, but more for the effect that it will have on those who hear me use the name – I’m sure the pet neither knows nor cares why it is called what it is.
Before I read @tinyfaery‘s answer, I was thinking of “Macavity” from T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.
He looks like a Macavity to me.
If he’s your first cat, call him Number 1
LOL star trek referance
I really like the show Glee.. I am having a hard time finding a name from that that could work…. HELP ME PLEASE
Finn (as suggested above by another poster) would probably work well, as in “Finn” from Glee, as per the OP’s request.
Call him Mike, because then whenever you can’t find him, you can say “Where’s Mike at?”
get it?
@andrew Nice one. Though I must say I like Hemingway as a name better than Ernest.
@janbb Skimbleshanks was a orange tabby in that book. [:
@wickedbetty any of the names from Glee would work.. I like Dijon, personally.
Rooster. My daughter’s suggestion.
@MissAusten I love her suggestion.. I like to name animals with other animals names. I had a cat named turtle once.
Macavity, or Mungojerrie from Cats
this is to test if I can use an emojii icon as a link
Number one is a google search for good names.
@MissAusten We had a ‘porch cat’ (neighborhood stray) named Rooster! Orange, too. He turned out to be a she, though. A neighbor adopted her, and changed her name.
Wellington
Buttons
Smarties
Trout
Hulk
Horatio
Mr. Orange
Fred
Frank
Let us kow what you decide!
Confuse the hell out of everyone. Call him “Fido”.
Gosh nobody has said Oliver yet?
@404cassie – I like Cosmo. It makes me think of Donald O’ Connor in Singin’ In The Rain. And Donald was a ginger with interesting feet!
I LOVE THE NAME COSMO! We are HUGE BYU Cougars Fans! The mascot is COSMO!
@Saturated_Brain – we named our kitten Oliver, got him about a year ago. He’s extremely cute, but kind of a shithead.
I still think Gelato is a good name, that way he’s orange gelato!
Squeak, Flash, Azlan, Walnut, Snug
what is this kitten now called?? Do we know yet?? I can’t wait to find out x
