Hello everyone!
So in the near future, I will be adopting a kitty. I have a few to choose from, but I am almost sure I will be getting a pure white male cat. I am totally stumped on a name, and I usually have great name ideas. I have female names picked out already but I need to think of some male names. If we choose the white one, I would ideally like a name that means or refers to something white, cold, or having to do with winter or ghosts. I'd like to stay away from the "obvious" ones like casper, snowy, ice, Alaska, etc. I also don't want dumb names like correction fluid or toilet paper. (people I talked to actually suggested these...can you believe it?) If there are no "white" names, maybe you could just suggest some general male names? I tend to like regal or old fashioned names for cats, not "cat" names. thanks a bunch.

Awe, my family's pure white male kitty went missing about a month ago and never came home... I suggested a few names for him, but my mom eventually picked Sammy.

Some I like and would possibly use for a future cat:

Pierre
Louis
Theodore (Teddy)
Archer
Llewellyn
Henry
Lachlan
Pierce
Ronan
Roman
Benedict
Cassius
Edwin
Clyde

I also looked up names that mean or have something to do with white... I liked Gavin, Finnegan, and Wentworth even though Wentworth means "village of all white people."

Bai
Blanc
Finnian

The above names all have 'white' in the meaning.

PS I recently got a cat and had the following names chosen if it were to be a boy (it wasn't, and we went with Stella Gray instead!):
Hughbert (nn Hugh) - my top choice
Thatcher
Alexander
Alistair
Willoughby
Archibald (nn Archie)
Theodore
Edward
Phelonious - not sure on the spelling haha

I also like the above suggestions of Henry and Clyde.

I have a white cat who I originally named Willow, until I found out he was a boy and changed it to Bloo (from the cartoon show).

I'm really digging the Albus suggestions. My first thought was Reginald.
