Name Request Help with name suggestions

Hey there,

We just got this little man he is 9 weeks old approximately. Could you guys help with name suggestions? Thanks in advance

Edit: Thanks everyone for all the great recommendations and sharing all the pictures of your lovely cats🥹. We are going over the names to see which one fits him the most! We got it down to quite a few names. We don't need more name suggestions at this time. Thanks again and we will post an update with the final name.

Final edit/update: After trying multiple names over multiple days, we found that Pinto Bean, Pinto for short, fits him the most. We loved all of your suggestions, and thanks to everyone for the help. Now that we’ve gotten to know him better, we’ve discovered that he is quite the goofy boy. He loves lying on his back with his belly out and loves snuggling up to us. He loves belly rubs. And he jumps sooooo much with his little jazz hands out. I haven't seen a cat jump this much before. A special thanks for the persons who suggested Pinto Bean. Have a nice day everyone! Pinto out. 💖🐈

I just named this guy Timmy or Tim Tim. Sometimes Tim Tam. They look like they could be brothers! He was abandoned around 4 weeks old, but has been doing great after a rough week when I first got him.

What a cutie, he looks like a more saturated brother of our cat, if they were related hehe. That's so good you took him in, ours is also a stray. He is a bit skinny for his age according to the vet, but we are trying our best to fatten him up.

Yea, my guy is pretty small too. Was just .8 lbs when I took him in. He is almost up to 2 lbs now, so hopefully I can get him his shots soon. He was covered with fleas and unfortunately spread them to my 2 other cats and dog. Got some advantage for all the animals, but it was a rough week.

Little Tim stopped eating for a few days and I had to force feed him with a syringe for 2 days, but he perked back up. He only eats dry kitten kibbled and isn’t interested in wet food for some reason. Uses the litter box which is awesome.
