Nimbus! Like a rain cloud. :)

And here I thought I was being super creative and unique when I named my kitten Nimbus like 8 years go. That said, it’s a cool name, go for it! His nickname is Nimmy-Nims. Among other things we call him.

Underrated comment

Overrated comment

Edited

When I commented it was at like 8 upvotes and it just immediately spiked after I said that. Ironic

Gandalf the Grey

Then when he gets old you can change it to Gandalf the White.

Fun fact. A lot of cat breeds actually get darker with age.

So it may be Gandalf the Grey...er

Khan or Kirk - fun to yell.

I like your style. Out of curiosity, got any other “fun to yell” names?

For a girl, Stella

This is true!! My very tall neighbor has a very small dog named Stella. She likes to take off down the block, watching him chase her yelling “STELLAAAA” is one of my favorite pastimes.

Ghost

I had a Russian Blue as a child who was adopted by my parents from a shelter. His previous owner was a German man who died while in that states and had no family for the cat to return to. His original name was Amadeus and after my parents got him his name became Mozart. We had Mozart's passport and a little thing from all the countries he'd been to.

Lived to the grumpy old age of 19.

So my lot goes in for Mozart
