but that is the name of a couple of NY Coon's(last name).

or Augusta for the capital

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).

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

It's a Sopranos reference.

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

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

As in, Big Ben.

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!

Just kidding

How about Nemo?

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

We LOVE them!

which one I use just depends.

Ghengis and Snodgrass.

but the Macedonian faction voted it down!

your welcome.

Thanks!

It's all in the timing.

Polydor Virgil came to mind

is named Zigmund, aka, Ziggy.

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

That's his father.

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.

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.

Congratulations on your new family member.

Maiko A nice play on words for Maine Cooncat

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......

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

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.

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

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

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.

.... (raccoon).

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

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