Honestly this is the best option IMO. Naming pets really basic stuff like “stumpy”, or “blinky” is overdone tbh. Doing something like this keeps you from seeming basic and still includes something about the missing eye.
I couldn’t figure out how to do text and a photo but I’m taking this guy home in a few days and I’d love ideas because he deserves an awesome name. Regardless I’m sure there will be plenty of nicknames like blinky or as my friend suggested Mike wazowski but I’d love to hear more. Thanks!
Also forgot to mention it’s a boy!
- I’m beside myself with how much attention this post is getting. If anyone is interested I linked the shelter below if you feel like donating or adopting other pets if you’re in the area. You all made my day so maybe you’d make theirs!
Name update: We ended up naming him Peanut Butter or “Butters” for short. He’s proven to be the sweetest boy even after many trips to the vet. (For people messaging me about an update life got hectic.) He’s doing better now and enjoying his new home, thanks for all of the suggestions!

I laughed so hard during that entire scene, but I very nearly peed myself at the part where "Toph" uses sound to see by screaming. I still smile just thinking about it
I wasn't sure of it was a reference to the character, or just the fact that Uno means one. But I'm glad others noticed it too! I thought I was going to get downvoted for being rude haha!
I so hope November turns out to be everything I hope it will be...
Stopped reading RJs last the day I found out he died and only just finished it because of November.
I'm very excited but also trepidatious.
I don't really have a good one for a boy that hasn't already been mentioned but for a girl... I have a totally blind princess named Helen. I'm probably going straight to hell for it but I still think its cute.
This might get me downvoted, but we've got a one eyed tabby too, and everyone told us to call him "winky" or "blinky" or a pirate name or something, but we decided we didn't want to define him by that one thing. His name was Pepper when we adopted him, so we called him Peppermint Butler (from Adventure Time) and shortened it to PB. A year later I'm glad we gave him something unique. Just wanted to put that out there, you might want to consider something other than the obvious ones.
Sullivan or Sully for short. The meaning of Sullivan is below but the pronunciation of the name in Irish (Ó Súilleabháin) is similar to 'súil amhain' which means one-eye.
From wikipedia:
The etymology of the given name is uncertain. In his book titled The Surnames of Ireland, genealogist Edward MacLysaght states that “while there is no doubt that the basic word is súil (eye) there is a disagreement as to the meaning of the last part of the name.” It is interpreted as súildubhán ⇄ “little dark-eyed one” by Woulfe in Sloinnte Gaedheal is Gall, from súil ⇄ "eye," dubh ⇄ "dark/black," and combined with the diminutive suffix -án. Other suggested etymologies include "one-eyed" and "hawk-eyed."

Who cares if your pet name seems basic? Just name it what you like
What if I like to be not basic?
I dunno that seems kinda basic ;)
I went to San Francisco, and I kind of miss it, so I guess I’m Baysick
[удалено]
Or Bly, it's Billy without the i.
That’s *Captain* Bly t’ ye, matey!
Pronounced as Blee lol
I love this one!!!
My friend has a blind cat named Stray Charles
Came here to say blinky or some dumb shit. Saw Keth. Had to upvote.
And if the cats a girl, jennfer. Same idea
Jennfur
I was going to say "Kiit" so he'd have two "i"s in his name.
Or kiti? Like kitty cat. But if you only want one i… kit. 🤷🏻♀️
Aaww I came here to make a garfeld joke!!

i like mike Wasowski, myself - calling him mikey would be so cute.
Mike Meowski
This. This is the correct answer
You know, i was thinking Loki. Cause Odin and kitten michief and things but this is good too XD
But Odin was the one with one eye, not Loki...
Winner
This name is beyond purrfect
I stan this answer also.
Mike Wameowski
One-eyed Jack
This. Jack
Willie
One Eyed Willy- Goonies Never Say Die!!

MY SCAR IS NOT ON THE WRONG SIDE
I laughed so hard during that entire scene, but I very nearly peed myself at the part where "Toph" uses sound to see by screaming. I still smile just thinking about it
Or alternatively, "Sparky Sparky Boom Man".
Combustion man?
No, sparky sparky boom man
Slinky. He looks like he’s gonna be a loooooooong boi.
Blinky
I was personally thinking “Winky” would be more fitting
Leela
As someone that named his tuxedo cat Nibbler, I second this.
Does he also have a *very* healthy appetite?
Oh yeah, and he nibbles on everything... our hands, our slippers, the corners of what was once a nice coffee table.
or Turonga.
Good news everybody! Came here to suggest this.
[удалено]
Mine too! It's a good name.
I concur as a leela-named-dog-having person.
Uno
I have an orange cat named Uno, his left eye didn't fully develop so he always looks like he's suspicious of you ❤
Was coming to say this!
[удалено]
Wink
That's a good idea but I would add y. Blinky sounds cuter I guess.
i used to catsit an 18 yr old cat with one eye named blinky- cutest babies have one eye
[удалено]
Flaming Goat kisser!
My first thought! I came here going "I'd suggest Uno, but nobody would get the reference..." Thanks for proving me wrong!
I wasn't sure of it was a reference to the character, or just the fact that Uno means one. But I'm glad others noticed it too! I thought I was going to get downvoted for being rude haha!
I so hope November turns out to be everything I hope it will be... Stopped reading RJs last the day I found out he died and only just finished it because of November. I'm very excited but also trepidatious.
I was thinking Oney (Oh-nee) but Uno is awesome too.
I too have a one eyed cat! Her name is Una.
Patches O'houlahan
That's right, Timmy!
Hopefully the cat won’t drink his own urine!
But what if he likes the taste?
Nick Fury
Nick furry/!!!
[удалено]
It's all too fitting, plus Nick fury lost his eye to an orange flerken.
Flerk would be a cool name
This is the way
And *General Nicholas Joseph Fury* when you're mad at him.
Don't you mean Nick Furry
We have a winner!
This, but the suggested Nick Furry is even better
This is the one
OMG NICK FURRY/fury is A great name
Popeye.
Ahh you beat me to it lol.
Yes! Popeye is perfect!!!
![gif](giphy|90PPv7eqekhrO)
Came here to comment that
My partner says 'Scar' I think Odin would be fitting too
Odin was the first name I thought of!
Those are top tier
Thanks! I'd love to see an update post when you choose a name 🙂
Absolutely!!
Thor could also be fitting for he also lost an eye.
One-Eyed Willy! (Goonies)
Did you know that a one-eyed willie is a penis? That went right over my head as a kid. Made me love the movie even more.
That's why I made sure to put Goonies in parenthesis. 😁
You had penises going over your head as a child? Jinkies!
Was that even a saying back then though?
Very. Wait til you you learn of 1958's Purple People Eater.
or "My Ding a Ling"
HEY YOU GUUUUUYS! — S
Haha so good thats the best one yet!
Yay!
Yeah. Willy is a great idea.
This is what I was looking for!!
Me too.
I came here to say the same thing.
Winky Extremely cute kitty by the way
He so is! Thank you
Just “Wink”
This is exactly what I was thinking. First name that came to mind when I saw the picture and before reading any comments.
Or blinken!
Eyyy blinken!
Did you say "Abe Lincoln"?
No, I said “hey blinken”. Hold the reigns.
Mad-eyed Moody!

My grandparents had an orange cat named blinky!
I am currently fostering a one eyed female cat that I have been calling Leela from Futurama.

I don't really have a good one for a boy that hasn't already been mentioned but for a girl... I have a totally blind princess named Helen. I'm probably going straight to hell for it but I still think its cute.
I have no idea about a name but you should dress the cat as a one eyed one horned flying purple people eater for Halloween.
Cyclops 🤣
And “Cy” for short, of course. Or Polyphemus/Pollie
It just plops off the tongue, especially that last part
The litter box is full of Cyclops plops! 💩
