[tabbycat31]

25. I second this idea

My next 4 kittehs are already named. I travel all the time for work, and the kitties will be named after various cities I've worked in. Lexie (Lexington, KY), Packer (Green Bay, WI), Nucky (Atlantic City, NJ), and Abby or Radford (Abingdon, VA, Radford, VA).

[GreenPartyVoter]

36. "Auguster" :^D

[eShirl]

6. Buddha. or Cheshire.

I'd call him Chester......

[dawg]

9. How about Salvatore.

It's a Sopranos reference.

[nolabear]

[LiberalEsto]

10. My late beloved Maine Coon Cat was named Rooney

you're welcome to use it if you want... she passed away 14 years ago and I still miss her

[agracie]

12. Excellent name ! Like Andy Rooney ? nt

[LiberalEsto]

15. Not after anyone

I used to say "Rooney my Cooney" and it rhymed nicely

[NV Whino]

11. Ben

As in, Big Ben.

[RedCloud]

13. these are swell

I will put a photo as soon as blue cloud vacates the fancy computer! This touch screen doesn't have all the gismos. Thank you guys!

[jpak]

14. LePage

Just kidding

How about Nemo?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. Mongo. Fang. Bluto. Moose. Godzilla. Or Evelyn.

I love MCs - huge cats with tiny, squeaky meows.

[sakabatou]

17. Bear

[agracie]

18. Winston - think Churchill... nt

[we can do it]

20. Our 2 big boys are Max (Maxwell was already named at the shelter) and Mannie

We LOVE them!

[Moondog]

21. My male Maine Coon has two names -

which one I use just depends.

Ghengis and Snodgrass.

[RedCloud]

29. We considered Ghengis

but the Macedonian faction voted it down!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

22. Maximillian Erivn Manchester the Divine.

your welcome.

[RedCloud]

32. Max is under consideration, but is his dad's name.

Thanks!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

33. ha! I knew it! Wish we could see a pic.

[bif]

23. Hoss

[CBHagman]

24. Nemo.

It's all in the timing.

[intaglio]

26. Don't ask me why, but for some reason

Polydor Virgil came to mind

[applegrove]

27. "Bear"

[easttexaslefty]

30. My son's Maine Coon,

is named Zigmund, aka, Ziggy.

[RedCloud]

31. More projection in one year.

He looks like Tony the Tiger right now but he is still too young to take his new house.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

34. omg! is that him? he is gorgeous!

[RedCloud]

39. Eventually!

That's his father.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

40. Max! what a handsome, regal fellow. yes, he lives up to the name, indeed. he does!

[Chellee]

35. Magnus.

Maine coons are most likely descended from Norwegian Forest Cats, and Norway had many kings named Magnus, so that's my vote. It's also a strong, big sounding name.

[RedCloud]

41. We have our winner!

Welcome to the forum!

He shall be so named;

Raphael (the healer!) Magnus

Thank you all! I really appreciate it. All the other animals I have ever had were named in minutes, but this has been two days.

We searched cities in Maine, France (where the Maine Coons allegedly came to NA)

French names, Italian names, (bingo!) and now your name.

[Chellee]

42. I'm honored, thank you.

Congratulations on your new family member.

46. HOORAY...

[grilled onions]

38. MayKo

Maiko A nice play on words for Maine Cooncat

[Mopar151]

43. Gardiner (Leavitt)

Maine racing icon, father of NASCAR Cup car building wizard Steve Leavitt. "Grampy" knows more about race cars than about anybody, and he has one or 2 of whatever you need, somewhere around here.......
A crafty Maine cat, indeed......

[marzipanni]

44. Waldo

It means forest, woods, of which Maine has plenty.
Waldoboro, Maine.

[ZRT2209]

47. Chewbacca

[Brigid]

49. He will be gorgeous!

I love Maine Coons. But it will take a while for him to look like that. Maine Coons can take up to four years to reach full adult size.

[Danmel]

50. Atticus

If I.ever have another male cat, I'd name him Atticus.

[Populist_Prole]

51. Tucker

Friend of mine and wife have a Maine Coon named Tucker. Big thing, and very active and wild. Nice animal.

[diabeticman]

52. Well... How about King Or Master Or God. That kitten when reach adulthood will walk around HIS home

in such a way you will think he owns it.


And guess what.


HE DOES.



Best of luck with your new owner. May you both have great fun together.

[sendero]

53. Rocky.....

.... (raccoon).

[Raven]

54. Whistle...:-)

[Maine-ah]

55. my two MCC's - brothers

one is Simon, the other Henry...along with many nicknames. Got any pics of your new baby? It may help with name suggestions.

[jmowreader]

57. Name him Charles

Maine Coons are large enough to shake the ground when they walk, so name him after the inventor of the Richter Scale.
