Name suggestions?
Meet Tom. After losing our wonderful 23 year old tuxedo cat this month, we came across the lovely Tom, and are hoping to adopt him this week.
Ideally we didn’t want to change his name, but my partner is called Tom, which could get a little confusing.
Are there any names that sound like Tom or have Tom in the name that you can think of? Equally, are there any names that suit him?
At the moment, it might simply be Tom Junior. :)

Start calling your husband ‘Human Tom’. (See image for old joke)
In seriousness, I love giving Tuxedo cats names of characters who famously wore tuxedo suits, so one of my cats was named Jack (Skellington) and another was named Jeeves (from Ask Jeeves website back in the day). 🥰

My late cat looked like that, and I called him Button, as in button nose. Naturally when he finished growing, he was the size of a panther, so his name was something like calling a man the size of a dump truck "Tiny."

He's a handsome cat -- name him Mouche for his beard.
Does he answer to Tom? If not, you can probably pick a new name and get him used to it.
Similar to Tom:
Ron
Shondell
Bomb
Dominic
Connor
Lonnie
Von or Vaughan
Bonbon

Love this! Thanks so much. We haven’t adopted him yet, but from what I gather, he probably doesn’t have much happiness attached to the name currently as his ‘owners’ left him.

He looks alert and intelligent, in addition to being handsome. I hope that you'll have many good years together.

You could just call him Mr Tom or Tom Jr
I have a Mr cheese and everyone always laughs because it’s so funny to make people call a cat Mister

Tim Tom, but usually call him Tim? I actually think he looks like his name should be Martini.
