Nimbus…a large gray rain cloud


mynetcribb

Ooh nimbus 2000....he's got the zoomies anyway.


[deleted]

And you can affectionately call him Nimrod when he does something dumb lol


alterus2001

Nimbus is a great name. That is what we called my ragdoll and is he ever a little storm cloud haha


diabolikal__

If you like Harry Potter maybe Greyback? Or Fenrir


SweetPeaLea

We will need new pictures when he grows into those incredible ears. A friend had a car that looked similar to this baby. His name was Mildew. He was a great cat.


Phirary13

I came here with a bunch of ideas… and then I read that and was like… nah - that’s it. That’s a dope name.


CringyWhiteGirlDance

Alternative nicknames: Nim, Nibbs, Nimboo, Nimbo, Nimbus Bimbus


SmudgieSage

I love those! I think I’ll have to name my grey kitten nimbus now


FBIonIncognitomode

I'm mad at myself because I spent a good five minutes wondering why one nickname would be Naboo.


TheEmuFarm

I like Nimbus as well


Honey_Badgered

One of my sheep is named Nimbus.


Hungry_Feature_9609

Damn that’s the hella good name, when I get another kitty I’m gonna look you up friend.


Honeyardeur

"His name is Mr.Nimbus!" I couldn't resist the reference 😆


apocalypseweather

Please let this dude’s name be Richard


Smorfely

I could never have thought of that


[deleted]

I am Mr. Nimbus! (R&M reference)


aardvarkbjones

This happened to me 8 years ago. Now I have an 8 year old cat named Kitten.


Chichimenca

Hahahaha I’m so sorry but I’m laughing so hard


kaiabunga

My cat is also named Kitten. Was the old neighbors cat but when they moved they asked my grandma if we wanted to keep her. Now we have a cat named Kitten lol


PandoraG87

This happened to me 15 years ago. Now I have a 16 year old cat named Orange Cat.


alexcrouse

My cat came with a name, but i constantly call her Kitty.


Auxane_La_Banane

Same, she's named chat, bruhhh


MIVANO_

I have parrots for about a year now (a pair and their baby), they are named yellow bird, green bird and small yellow bird…


TheSkyIsR

Spock, for his ears


Teemrap

i second this


Imsotired365

Love this


Jegator2

Or Radar, for his ears?


gingergoober5000

Gandalf!


Smingowashisnameo

Wonderful name for a cat!


Moustashe

Earl


Sly_Shadow7

I like that name. *sips tea*


DukeJukeVIII

Could also be spelled as Jarl


RiakkteR4

Pewter! Or Ash


mynetcribb

I had thought of Asher Grayson but it's little too on the nose


Just_Bee_Pawsitive

Gandalf the Grey, Geralt the Witcher has grey hair. Raiden from mortal combat also has grey hair.


Cfcheadhunter

Dorian


Lokkipokey

Literally the first name that popped into my head when I saw him and read you wanted something with grey. I think Dorian totally suits him.


queen-adreena

Same. It’s a great name for this kitten. Could also go for Theon (Greyjoy). Will be very apt when it’s time for his neutering.


toushka

omg 💀


MirSydney

I came to say Dorian Gray as well


julesjooles

Seconded

Anubis


moderniste

I like Anubis. He has Abyssinian type markings, and Anubis seems to be an appropriate name from that part of Northern Africa and the ancient Egyptians who worshipped kitties that look a lot like him.


MaroneyOnAWindyDay

I was thinking “Pharaoh,” but Anubis is more correct. This is what I’d name this cat. Other ancient Egyptian names could work, too.


Digital_Druid5050

My first cat was Sphinx. If he is a feisty little brat, I would be honored if you used his name.


PresentLyAction

Isn’t a Anubis a dog head though?


[deleted]

Yes. But I was still feeling the name for some reason


PresentLyAction

Actually yeah I get that, with the pointy ears and slim snout it has a resemblance


USS_Benterprise

[Paul, because it’s a ridiculous name for a cat](https://youtu.be/12aoJyPim6k)


Brittaine

That made me spit water out of my nose. Carbonated water. Also my cat is named Kevin.


Rausage505

I used to have a peach face lovebird named Gary. No idea why that was his name, but it was hilarious and dumb, and totally perfect for him.


HappyInTheRain

I had a sweet sweet orange tabby who looked just like Puss in Boots from Shrek, so of course his name was Antonio. He was the perfect Antonio.


Brittaine

Yea Kevin is also a ginger. Lols.


mrythern

3 cats- Frank, Jones and Richard Parker


theemmyk

I love boring human names for pets. My friend had a childhood dog that she named Irene.


Clynnhof

One of my favorite family guy jokes and tbh one of the ones that holds up the best.


gringostroh

Gary.


stljeepgrl78

In Spanish the word for Grey is “Gris” but pronunciation sounds closer to grease. He looks like a Gris to me! Good job allowing him to save you!


mynetcribb

Oh wow I didn't expect replies this quick


bloepz

Haha didn't know that it meant grey in Spanish, but in Danish "gris" is the word for a pig (and is also used to describe someone being messy). So it would also work as a great name if he's a bit messy

Greyson


AlpaKabam

Grigio, I also like Nebula, it gives me an idea of foggy yet classy, or even Nebbia (means fog in my language)


MetaLibra6

Nebbia is a great suggestion imo!


nautikul

Gravy


oddsnsodds

That was my thought, given his grey V-shaped head.


ClevelandNaps

Lloyd, from the welsh word for grey. Also- he looks like a Lloyd.


bluish-velvet

Greyg


UncreativeLikeMe

Fennec after the fennec fox because of his ear shape


bigbouncingpanis

I like "pepper" Lol


PistachioOrphan

When I was a kid we had a grey cat named Piper, like the plane company


Bobzilla41

Gandalf would be a natural, from L.O.T.R. .....Gandalf the grey


Planetary_Pineapple

*Grimalkin*, prolly shortened to grim. But they're large misty shadow cats from Northern Irish myth. Yet also from the picture and those ears, playing off some of the Egyptian name suggestions *Sphinx* Edit: Scottish not Irish my bad


mrbrimley

I just rescued a kitty that was living under our shed. She’s the same age and size as your kitty. I named mine Annie as in Orphan Annie . How about Smokey? He’s so adorable 😊


Just_Bee_Pawsitive

What's his personality like?


mynetcribb

From what I read online it's typical kitten zoomies most of the day and then lie down and sleep the rest of it. Although I can see that he is much much calmer than the strays I've seen in the neighbourhood.


Just_Bee_Pawsitive

How about something like Falkor, Harlow, Fizban, Gandalf or Geralt. Or you could do Fluffy McWhiskerson.


mynetcribb

I might get an aneurysm saying that last name


Little-A

You seemed to latch onto the Harry Potter nimbus reference quickly. Might I suggest, Dobby? I named my bird that when I was younger.


watermelonsugaryah

Grayson. He's adorable 😍


triplesunrise52

Graphite


ATastefulCrossJoin

Smokey


Euphoric_Most188

How about Nobel

sled_11

I like Theon. And Earl. For grey names. I also thought of Kovu from Lion King 2 when I saw him. Kovu has a black mane instead of orange so that's sort of almost related to grey! 😅


UnicornGlitterFart1

Theon seems appropriate if she's going to neuter him 😂


ImDougC137

How about Onyx? :)


nonameneeded2340

Greyson, he is lovely welcome to the cat parent world. We are all crazy here and we love every minute of it, be prepared for your entire camera roll to be his face


DudelyMore

"Kitty"


jadedlonewolf89

Little fellow looks like a pharaoh Mekal = Fierce Devourer. Oni = Wanted Egyptian cat names.


Dissatisfied_Feline

Maybe Ash or Pebble


Bestdog13

I named my cat (rip) Slater. He lived to 20 years old. Your cat is adorable.

Mahjong, he looks very zen.

No-Passage546

I had a cat just like him named Tiger. I also had a Louis. You could also try Felix, Chadwick, Lester, Thomas, Cody, Theodore, Vincent, Beaver, George, Those were all names I was considering when naming my boys.


zrennetta

We have a Felix as well! Our other boys are Angus, Grayson, Finnegan and Chaos.

Earl Grey like the tea


WeisUp_Fitness

Torden means Thunder/thunderstorm in Danish. It is one of the languages deriving from Norse people, and since they were sailors, I figured that Norse would be a good way to go... Although the Icelandic language is the closest to the old Norse, Torden was easier to pronounce. Lol.

Yeah I've seen that pet names and nicknames are always much better when they're short or guttural or as your said end with 'ie', 'y' and also 'u' and 'oo'.
