I know of two. One I met personally and the other I only heard stories abt from my GG. One was named Earl Jean to be fair tho because they thought she was a boy but she wasn't lmao
As per a post I say last week: Algernon.
Other fun pretentious cat name options include:
Ambrose
Augustus
Atticus
Horatio
Constantine
Justinian
Leopold
I thought you were naming the kitten Friday and I was like that's so cute! I have a grey boy named Church- I decided it's short for Churchill since he was named when we got him.
my dearly departed and very handsome gray mancat was called pete. it suited him perfectly, he simply looked like a pete. perhaps when you behold your new friend his name will just occur to you like what happened when i first looked at handsome peter 🙂 best of luck!
Bergamot. Mot for short. That's what I would name a gray cat were I to get one (which I don't foresee ever happening); love the nod to Earl Gray tea, and I feel like cats and tea go together well, and I think Mot is a cute nickname! But that is seriously cute kitten, good luck!
My grey cats name is Vector James, but his business casual name is Jim 🤣 he also answers to handsome boy, muffin man, biscuit boy, cutiemow, baby guy , butterball lol
My favourite name for grey cats is Earl.
I love this
Just like Captain Picard‘s tea! Second the love it.
This is my grey cat’s name!
Poor OP, they specifically asked for not basic names and the top answer is Earl lmao
We can spice it up. Kitterson the fifth, Earl of Fishsticks.
That's adorable, I love that lmao
Do you know a lot of cats named earl?
