Name my cat!

I went down to the SPCA today and got a 10 week old kitten who was found wandering in the snow (-10 celcius) . His "found" name was Roger but my g/f and me don't really like the name and it doesn't seem to quite fit.

He's mostly white but has a tabby head and tail and a cool patch of tabby on his left shoulder. It really looks like someone got a photoshop brush with "tabby designs" and went at his head and tail and clicked on his left shoulder.


His personality so far is very loving, explored the whole house in the first 20 minutes and he really likes to have your attention.

edit: I forgot to say we like famous names (historical stuff not celebrities). It also needs to be somewhat easy to say (we tossed around "Chairman Meow") but it's a mouthful

    Snowflake seems to work well, since he's all white and you found him in the snow.

    Something along the lines of "Grandma" would be pretty funny, especially if its a cat that you let outside.
    "Grandma! get out of the garden!" or "Grandma! Stop eating the plants!" and the list can go on and on. I have two cats myself and i always thought it would be quite funny. Your neighbours would look at you kind of weird, but thats part of the fun

    Poe.

    I don't know why, Poe is always a good cat name. One that I see a lot but really works well for all black cats or all white cats or general variants.

    can't be licoln, my mom's dog has that name. I do like poe...

    It's really going to be up to the g/f as she was not there to pick him so she gets to pick the name.
    Appreciate all the replies!

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    OH man, he looks CRAZY a lot like my cat. Except mine has another patch on his back. So cute

    How about Socrates or some other philosopher. Virgil. Poe is a good name too i think.
