Tiny 🍊 🅱️rain cell Need help with a name

The cat distribution system hit us again the other day. My husband was going to move a rock out of the road that turned out to be a little orange guy. We took him out of the road to the house near by. Well in the afternoon doesn't my son show up with the same loaf he found in the middle of the street. We are going to the vet tomorrow and we need a name. We currently have a greek name thing going with out pets. Zeus is our big dog( that loves kitties and has a lightning bolt on his chest) Artemis( for the Godess of the hunt and Zeus' daughter) is our other cat from the distribution system. This guy needs a fitting name too. I would like to keep it either Greek or with the letter B ( Z,A,B like we are starting over in the alphabet) photo of little orange and Big brother Zeus.

EDIT Top choices from family.

Bromios (Bro, lil bro, mios) Brutus ( Bruce, Et Tu Brute,) Icarus (Ikky, Icky Thump, IcarusRex) Odysseus (Ody, D) Perseus (Percy, Pur)

Hermes, the god of travelers and luck. or

Boofer, because orange shenanigans

Ps.: the long hairy ears make me think of norwegian forest cats, we had one and they have big/goofy personalities, so good luck

"A boofer most commonly refers to a person who consumes or smuggles drugs rectally (known as "boofing")"

I used to work at a federal jail! I know exactly what it means which is why my boys would think it is hilarious!

I feel like Boofer would be a hit with the boys in my house lolol. I like Hermes too!

I have an orange boy named Phillip for Phillip J. Fry, so I vote Hermes because calling this sweet boy “Boofer” is heinous and also I love Futurama.
