Whenever I come up with another potential name for him, I write it out on that drawing I posted the other day.

I've written a few others below the drawing to get a feel for them:

I think it took me a few weeks to name Pip, and Pip suits Pip perfectly, so I should stop sweating it and just let it happen when it happens. :)

Bonus photos of ForrestWalterOliverNewCat:

An old friend commented that he looks like a guy in a shitty skeleton costume, and if Guy In A Shitty Skeleton Costume wasn't so long, we'd have a name for this guy already.

Incredibly beautiful cat!

He looks like a “Tux” to me. Pip is an adorable little dude.

How about Skelly, short for "Guy in a Shitty Skeleton Costume"? Or Skellington, if you want a longer name to shorten. Or maybe Sheldon, containing the essence of the longer phrase but still being a name sort of name.

Oh this is the new fellow! Pip is all black and three times his size. ;)

Sarah Puls

I mean.... Guy could be short for "Guy in a Shitty Skeleton Costume".

Melissa Wilson

Shiskel could also be short for "Guy in a Shitty Skeleton Costume". As a bonus, it totally sounds like a Yiddish curse word.

Also, as an unabashed Tolkien nerd, I can’t help but think the perfect companion for Pip should be called Merry!

Shitty skeleton costumes make me think of David S. Pumpkins, which makes me think of “Hanks” — probably not the right fit, but ForrestWalterOliverNewCat *does* have similarly kind eyes :p Whatever their name ends up being thanks for sharing the photos along the way 😸

Snoot! Just because of the adorable ring on his snout. Or Tipper, for the reasons on the other post. Whatever his name, I already love him!

What’s his personality like? We named our cat Noodle because he has some balance issues and when you pick him up he kinda flops around like a limp noodle. I guess that’s not a personality trait, but it weirdly fits his personality anyways.

I liked cricket though! Especially if he chirps like a cricket. What about Jiminy like jiminy cricket

Green eyes! I love that in cats! He's really beautiful.

Sheri Spangenberg

he could be Spirit for Spirit Halloween, home of the shitty skeleton costume?

Christian Brown

Could be Jack, after Jack Skellington...LOVE the green eyes! Could also go with Emerald or Emmie for short based on the eyes.

Oooh I like Spirit! Lol I love the explanation. My sis-in-law's best friend is a costume designer for Spirit Halloween, I'll have to ask her if they're ever encouraged to make some costumes intentionally shitty!

Sheri Spangenberg

that'd be funny if they were, haha. I feel like Spirit does have a gamut from "pretty decent" to "...really? You're charging money for that?"

After the sewing shelf fiasco, I might go with Thimble (Timmy? Thumbelino??). I love old-fashioned human names for pets though. And Cricket and Chicken gave me a good chuckle.
