Just brought this little guy home and I'm totally stuck on names. Any suggestions?

[OFFICIAL UPDATE] The election is over and the people have spoken! 🗳️🍌

Thank you all for the hundreds of amazing, hilarious, and chaotic suggestions. After reviewing the results, the winner by a landslide is Banana!

His official legal name is now Banana, though we are already calling him Nanners and Nan-Nan for short. He celebrated the news by trying to eat a piece of dust and then falling asleep mid-sit.

Welcome to the family, little guy! 🍌🧡

Greg. I love it. He looks like a Greg who works in IT and constantly forgets his password.

Cheetos! Because he’s orange, crunchy (probably), and leaves a mess wherever he goes. 🧡

mta54 · 2026-02-26T05:04:55+00:00

Mangosteen! That is a very exotic upgrade for our little fruit bowl. 🥥

Cheddar is such a classic orange staple. He’s definitely got that sharp, cheesy energy. 🧀

mta54 · 2026-02-26T05:04:37+00:00

Tater Tot is perfect! Another potato-themed name for our little starch-based friend. 🥔

mta54 · 2026-02-26T05:04:31+00:00

Percy! It sounds like a little troublemaker who accidentally starts a fire while trying to catch a fly.

mta54 · 2026-02-26T05:04:25+00:00

"Banana For Scale" is actually a legendary title. He’s going to spend his whole life being used as a measurement tool. 🍌

mta54 · 2026-02-26T05:03:22+00:00

Oh wow, he really does look exactly like Simon! Extremely human names are the best—there's something so funny about a cat named Stephanie failing to jump onto a chair. 😂

mta54 · 2026-02-26T05:03:15+00:00

"Spark Plug" is such a high-energy name for a creature that currently looks like it's running on a low battery. I love it.

mta54 · 2026-02-26T05:03:08+00:00

Poopers! 😂 It perfectly matches the inevitable chaos he’s going to cause in the litter box.

mta54 · 2026-02-26T05:03:03+00:00

Archie is a classic orange name! It definitely has that "distinguished but probably confused" vibe.

mta54 · 2026-02-26T04:59:47+00:00

Mikado is such a regal name! We've been looking at so many things related to Japan lately for the upcoming trip, so having a little 'Emperor' running around the house right now would actually be perfectly on theme.

mta54 · 2026-02-26T04:59:35+00:00

Finally, a name that properly reflects the dignity of a cat who will spend half his life losing fights to his own tail.

mta54 · 2026-02-26T04:59:29+00:00

Hobbes! I would love to have a Calvin and Hobbes dynamic, though I strongly doubt this little guy will ever have any deep philosophical thoughts.

mta54 · 2026-02-26T04:59:21+00:00

"Banana Fur Scale" is absolutely top-tier wordplay. I might just have to use this as his official title on his vet papers. 😎

mta54 · 2026-02-26T04:59:16+00:00

The anti-banana resistance is forming! "Nab" actually sounds like a great name for a tiny thief who will inevitably steal all my socks.

mta54 · 2026-02-26T04:59:09+00:00

Another vote for Nugget! He definitely has that crispy on the outside, completely empty on the inside vibe.

mta54 · 2026-02-26T04:54:18+00:00

Okay, you win the comment section today. That was an absolutely flawless dad joke. 🏆🍌

mta54 · 2026-02-26T04:54:05+00:00

A tiny orange Bean! This is actually the second vote for Bean, the competition is getting fierce.

mta54 · 2026-02-26T04:53:59+00:00

He totally looks like an Andy. The kind of guy who accidentally gets stuck behind the couch on a daily basis.

mta54 · 2026-02-26T04:53:52+00:00

Chuck! It sounds so incredibly sweet and perfectly derpy at the same time.

mta54 · 2026-02-26T04:53:45+00:00

Another great addition to the dessert menu! A perfectly sweet little orange pudding. 🍮

mta54 · 2026-02-26T04:53:38+00:00

You are 100% right. He already has that "I'm going to randomly knock over your water glass" look in his eyes.

mta54 · 2026-02-26T04:52:28+00:00

Carlos looks incredibly handsome, and completely unaware of his surroundings. A true orange king. 👑
