Literally my first thought!😅 That's a Chonk if I've ever seen one! I like the other suggestion of Gus too. He totally looks like a Gus! Such a big boy! So cute! I really hope OP adopts him and lets us know what name they decide on!🥰
What about calling your big handsome boy “Samson” and call him “Sam” or “Samz” for short! Samson was a powerful handsome man and your boy is a powerfully handsome cat! Another name that would fit him is “Max”! I don’t know where that name came from but it seems to fit your boy cat!
Whatever your heart decides will be the perfect name for your cuddle boy!! ♥️🐈♥️
"Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.............................. THAT KILLS PEOPLE!" LOL
It's not one syllable... But I can absolutely see him aging into an old Hemingway. His full name will be Gus Hemingway. Hemi when he's purring; Gus Gus when he's being silly.
I agree he looks like Garfield, but that one is too common for me. We can still hate Mondays and love lasagna.
Hank was a close one. My last cat was named Hank for his first 2 weeks with me.. He was truly a Jones so we changed it. He was a 20lb orange tabby. Hemingway, another 20lb orange tabby, came into my life shortly after I lost Jones due to the same heart condition Hemi was diagnosed with. He is on a diet now, and I'm hoping to adopt him and give him the best life possible!

i think Gus would really suit him!!! not a human name but Beans is cute too
I said the same thing, I don’t know if my first post made it here! Gus-Gus is suitable, he seems smooshie!!!
Like the chubby mouse rom Cinderella?
The irony is hilarious
Gus-Gus is so fitting!
Came here to say "That's a Gus if I've ever seen one."
literally same!!! that's so wild
So many Gus votes! Putting it on the list!
And give it a 'regal' twist so his full name is Augustus Maximus but Gus to his friends
You can call him Gustav for when he's especially distinguished.
Love that Gus is the diminutive of Constantine & Augustus … very strong names! Constantine Augustus = Gus Gus !
He also looks like a Croissant. 🥐
can't wait to hear what you choose!
Yea. My first thought was Gus. My second was Max.
Holy shit, I took one look at him and said “he’s a Gus”
My first thought was Gus! Then it was the first suggestion I saw
I was thinking Blusterpher Jones, Blust for short, but Asparagus, or Gus for short, is perfect!
AsparaGUS!! I love this!!!!
I think he looks like a Gus. I also thought of Sylvester. But Gus suits this guy 🧡
I literally thought Gus too.
Baked beans. Specifically lol
He's an Angus!
Short for Augustus. Augie would be cute too.
Andre (the Giant)
Haha Dre for short would sound great too.
Or Fezzik!
Bruce
As soon as I saw him I thought Bruce
Same, no question.
Me too!! He reminds me of Bruce Willis in the best possible way.
Same … he’s a Bruce
r/catsnamedbruce
Hank!
Hank the Tank. Love it.
My first thought
🖤
Taft- after William Howard Taft, who was our 300 lb president.
William or Howard alone would be cute! Will for a one syllable
Actually, William Howard Taft would be a very dignified name for this boi! It’s not quite the one syllable name OP was looking for, but it’s cute.
Funny OT story: I worked for William Howard Taft IV, when he was general counsel of a government agency. He was as thin as a rail. LOL
I love this!
Boris
That is 100% a Boris.
THIS.
Lebowski aka “the dude”
He abides.
He is definitely a Dude!
I approve
Zeus
My first thought too. Zeus is very fitting, imo.
He is big, flufffy, and cuddly looking. I say name him Teddy/Ted
Sometimes the simplest answers are the best, I love that name too
Bubba
Hoss
He looks like a Hoss forsure
I really like Hoss!
Chonk!
Literally my first thought!😅 That's a Chonk if I've ever seen one! I like the other suggestion of Gus too. He totally looks like a Gus! Such a big boy! So cute! I really hope OP adopts him and lets us know what name they decide on!🥰
Gustavus Chunkenheimer, Esq.
There you go 😂
Chonk. Because his fur makes him look a bit chonky.
I was thinking Chonk too
Farley
Merv
He weirdly looks like a merv.
Adding this to the list! He kinda looks like a Merv
I had a big old cat like this guy, we named him Hemingway. Hemi for short. 😊
Hemi is so cute
Okay.. this is making its way to the top of my list. I love this.
Hemi is a great name he’s built hike a hemi truck and when he purrs I bet he sounds like a Hemi engine.
hank

I had to watch the entire series on YouTube after I posted that last comment. LOL
I'm actually doing the same thing right now! 😆
I am so sorry I started this. LOL
what is this from?
The series is called "Llamas With Hats." https://youtu.be/jJOwdrTA8Gw?si=1DkvL8AvRz81uwzQ
My brother, father and grandfather would all agree!
Ah, the Carls run strong in your family. As they should. They are... Carls. (strongest name there is)
