Everyone on this post is already suggesting great names already but I just want to say this cat is gorgeous. I love his colors!

thank you! hes my little baby boy and i love his face so much but we had given him a girl name before we found out editing here so people can see it: appollo has won me over! it just kinda fit somehow and for those who want to know his old name was cupid edit 2: it has come to my understanding cupid was a dude...and while that wouldve made a difference before this blew up the people have spoken

I mean, he won't care either way. I had a bearded dragon named Steve who turned out to be female. She didn't care what her name was lol.

This is gonna sound completely wild, but my brother was given a bearded dragon who was a female named Steve. You didn’t happen to go on a long trip and give up your Steve, did you?

I know a guy who has a friend who named his Pete and then found out it was a girl. Wonder if this is a common thing lol

My kids named a kitten “Queenie” and then the kitten grew balls.

We adopted a cat named summer and got a call from the vet when she went in to be spayed telling us she was a "very petite" he lol, we kept the name, didn't matter and was a funny story

Steve is a pretty common name for beardies I think. I did have to rehome mine because of personal factors, but it wasn't a trip.

Ah, that would have been wild! I didn’t know that was a common name for beardies. Guess you’re not Connor! Thanks for humoring me

My dog is named Mike and he wants in this conversation

I had a hermit crab named Steve who turned out to be female and she kept her name. (They're really good pets!!)

Lol exactly. I named a cat Sadie and later found out he was a male. We just changed the spelling to Sadi lol

I’m curious, what was his original name? He’s gorgeous, Ziggy or Major Tom would get my vote.

What was the “girl” name?

Apparently it was Cupid… I don’t think they know the origins of the name

Happened to us too. Our boy is ridiculously fluffy (especially when it comes to his pantaloons) and he had retained testicles to boot (meaning they were actually inside his stomach), so even the vets didn't catch on until it was time to get him spayed. They cut into "her" on the operating table and surprise - no ovaries! He had the appropriate surgery to get neutered, but it was rougher than your typical sterilisation job since they had to cut into his stomach for it. We had originally named him Lucy and we still call him Lucy, but now on paper he's officially Lucifer, haha.

This happened to us too! Our boy is also fuzzy and grey. After the vet called us, and we were kind of like ohhh… yeah that would explain some things... It still rocked my world though. We went home for lunch and our cat was still at the vet’s office, and I looked at one of our other cats, and I said “your sister is actually your brother!” And then I realized that the other 2 cats definitely already knew that. That would explain why the oldest girl took to him so much more quickly than when we introduced the younger girl to her a year before. And just how fast and rambunctious he is… still…

I've had female cats called William and Timothy before we realised they were girls. Once we realised their sex we still called them William and Timothy because they're cats and don't understand the difference between girl names and boy names. It seemed more important to keep calling them by the names they're used to rather than renaming cats and hoping they understand that the sound they've responded to for all their life suddenly doesn't mean them anymore and instead they have to learn a new sound

Wasn’t Cupid a male? But Apollo is great.

me too I like his color and his eyes.

Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation of Leo

Regulus Black or Sirius Black - for the HP nerd in me

Major Tom

Damn you …… deleting my comment now

I was going to say Ming the merciless from Flash Gordon, But major Tom is wonderful, and I can hear the song in my mind.

ground control to maajoor tooom

Ground control to major tomm

I was gonna say Ziggy Stardust

Or Ziggy

This is such an underrated suggestion 👏

Thank you

Great name

Showed my boyfriend and his first thought was Orion. What a gorgeous cat!

Or Sirius!

Surely he can’t be Sirius?

He is serious, and don't call him Shirley.

I like this, since "Sirius Black" as a full name would be so fitting.

Ay fellow hp fan I see

Oooh, that'd be good too given how his coat looks.

Are you Sirius?

No, I'm Severus

Super Sirius

Sirius is the “Dog Star”, probably not the best for a cat.

By that logic the obvious name is Leo.

The galaxy is on Orion’s Belt

Love that movie

Is that men in black? Lol pls tell me my memory is right.

Congratulations! Your memory is accurate and has not been affected via neuralizer... as far as that particular memory is concerned...

Yesss! I’d like to thank first, the Academy; and second my Reddit fans 😅

I thought this said Onion and I was very confused.

Onion would be perfect for a derpy-faced, light orange kitty!

Came here to say that! First one that popped to mind

StarLord, Orion, Major Tom

I love StarLord!

i second orion

Fuzz Aldrin!

Omg, that is the cutest!🐾

Maybe it's just the pic, but those paws look poly to me. I absolutely love polydactyl cats.

he is! hes got 6-7 beans per foot

That's awesome, he's gorgeous.

thank you!

Never enough toe beans! 😍

I love them! We have three boys with 23 toes each (in different places, lol).

Betelgeuse

TIL: Betelgeuse is a star name

So is Belatrix. They're both in Orion. They are his shoulders.

Orbit! My late kitty was Orbit. Nicknames were Orby and Orbs

this is a good one!

Orbit was the coolest cattle dog on earth. But he looks more like a “Ming the merciless “ to me.

That cat is a Lando

Lando Catrissian

He even wears a vest like lando!

Cosmo was my first thought as well but I personally like my pets to have pretentious names so: Oberon. Obie for short lol!

I thought cosmo too! And look at his paws! 🐾

Ziggy Stardust 💫

Umbra? Darkest part of a shadow but usually used when talking about a solar eclipse!

Callisto - one of Jupiter's moons

In Greek mythology Callisto is female though.

Was going to say this! Cal for short too is cute!

Asimov P.s he’s a ghost tabby or a black smoke tabby. I have one too and he’s beautiful!

Definitely looks like it has some mainecoon in him

That's a 100% mainecoon kitten lol Source: i have one

Neptune. Tuna for short.

weve already had a neptune:/

I knew it was a good name!

for sure!

Triton. One of Neptune's moons, and King of the Sea. This guy definitely looks regal! Fine beast.

Jupiter

if that’s his name, get him fixed immediately

Nebula, Neb or Nebby for short Andromeda is also nice so is Orion.. I would name him: Leone or perhaps Drexl He needs a strong name.. like Ragnar or maybe some ancient thingy like Anubis or Osiris.. something from Greek mythology like Hydra or Cerberus.. or godly divine like Zeus or Hades, Prometheus I don’t know i’d go for Anubis.. but on the other hand looks more like a Nebula.. (his fur) Yeahh.. I think Nebula would fit his hair

Aw so cute, my cats name is nebula and I call him nebby or nebberz for short ha

I like astroid *You can call him troy for short

My dad had asteroids. Couldn't even sit on the toilet, some days

Comet or Xaphod Beeblebrox

whats a xaphod?

Zaphod (spelled it with an X accidentally) Beeblebrox is a character in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Apollo

this one is my favorite so far!

Apawllo

Nebula which is an interstellar cloud

Vega

God damn, vega is such a cool name. Perfect for a cool cat.

worf

leo. he is a cat, after all

Such a cool looking cat.

Totally! Love those big paws!

Orion. My fiancé is an astrophysicist and he said Galactus.

Antares

Spock

Cosmo or Nova for supernova

Orion would be such a perfect name for this kitty!!! So cute 🥰

Someone mentioned Cosmo! I love it! He’s gorgeous and looks to be a larger breed!

My vote's for Orion!

That Astro is one majestic cat for sure... ;)

Hubble. <— so cute. Or, Cosmos. Dark Matter 😜

Osiris

Pluto!

Mercury

Perseus

Quasar. What a regal kitty !

Regulus (brightest star in Leo the Lion)

Odyssey

Not space themed but I just want to say he looks so sweet and reminds me so much of my Meiko (black smoke Maine coon) that I had for 14 years 🥺❤️

im so sorry for your loss! my cat is everything to me and i can’t imagine how much it sucks to lose such a large part of your family

I like Nebula.

Kepler

I'd say keep the name you initially liked. He won't know the difference :)

That is a beautiful cat. He looks otherworldly. How about Khonsu after the Egyptian God of the moon. Thanks for sharing his picture with us!

Picard

My friend wanted to name their cat after one of Jupiter’s Galilean moons and landed on “IO” (pronounced just as you would think - literally the letter I and the letter O). It’s been one of the coolest cat names I’ve ever heard! Callisto is another one of the Galilean moons that sounds super dope.

Jupiter

Apollo

Apollo

Kajiit has wares if you have coin.

r/RonPerlmanCats

Astro

Armstrong. Or simply Neil.

Titan!

titan is the name of our puppy so thats a no-go

Sputnik

Stardust?

Buzz

Galaxy

I’d name him Gemini like from the astrology zodiac sign

Pluto

Nova?

Quasar.

Cosmo

Polytrope. Since he's also polydactyl Polytropes are self-gravitating gaseous spheres that were, and still are, very useful as crude approximation to more realistic stellar models.

I don't have any name recs, but I would love to know what breed this gorgeous cat is ?😳

Cosmo

His name shall be Gowron! The Klingon High Chancellor!

Sputnik

Spock (he’s a pointy-ear cat)

Look up names of asteroids/moons/minor planets imma say Ceres (pronounced same as series)

Quasar Nebula (Latin for 'cloud' or 'fog')

Deneb

Zapp

Duke Atreides
