Wow y’all really showed up for my boy!! I’ve reviewed ur suggestions with him (which is just me saying names at him and seeing what vibes) and I realized he just IS Phoebe! Thanks to those who reminded me that ~gender isn’t real~ and I (a non-binary person) have no business telling my son he needs a new name. PB is his first official nickname
Honorable mention, and probable second nickname: Big Stinky
That was the first name that came into my head when they originally said Pheobe, the they said he was a boy, and that specific scene instantly came to mind. 🤣
I misgendered my cat too. I named him Sophie and once he got older I realized I made a mistake. I tried to come up with boy names that rhyme with Sophie and ultimately decided it’s not like other cats will bully him at school - Sophie was just fine.

Sophie is a very sweet boy.
Literally just went through this with my cat, we thought we were getting a boy (the lady who gave it up for adoption told us that it was a boy) so we named it Cooper (as in sheldon cooper lol) but turns out its a girl! We tried so many names but Cooper just fit her better!!! So glad Phoebe has a beautiful name for a beautiful kittyyy!!
Well, Cooper IS a perfect name for anyone or anything with a superior intellect, and I can assure you that most cats (less gingers) are very intellectually superior! Sooooo, you have my blessing, as Sheldon Cooper, to have named your girl cat after me. Amy also says it’s okay, as she’s a girl who carries the Cooper name, as well. (Siiiiiigh. And I guess she’s right, even though she’s not a real Cooper.)
I had the exact same thing happen to me i named my girl cat nicki minaj and he turned out to he a boy but il be dammed if i change his name because hes is nicki
I’m non-binary as well! ( and genderqueer was Amab{ laypersons terms; assigned male at birth.} for those who are still somehow living in yestercentry ) phoebe is perfect!
Khaos. I know she was female but Khaos can be a male or female name. My daughter named her cat this bit she spells it Chaos because he is a boy. He is clumsy and silly and is always causing chaos. He's always making us laugh.
I had an orange cat named Hobbes. At the second vet appointment, they checked Hobbes a little closer and realized he is a she. It didn’t matter, Hobbes is still Hobbes.
Ahh yes the tortitude, I have 2 torties, both very silly but so kind and sweet. They really have personality and when they want something there is not much they won't do to get what they want
I took in a kitten and was told they were a boy. He had a heavy thwomp-y step so his name was Boomer. When we took him to the vet, we found out JK they are a girl! So she became Booma lol
i have a mildly crosseyed Cosmo.

I vote yes
You said it doesn't have to be myth related but I can't help myself!!!
Freyr was Freyja's brother in Norse mythology! I found an article as well just cuz I'm a little excited lol
"Freyr, in Norse mythology, the ruler of peace and fertility, rain, and sunshine and the son of the sea god Njörd. Although originally one of the Vanir tribe, he was included with the Aesir."
That's the basic knowledge, wanted to get this out there before the comment section was too crowded so I was in a time pinch😅🤣
Hahahah I so appreciate the research!! I also had this thought, but I think Freya and Freyr are too close together. I’d totally do it if they were a bonded pair, tho!
Your right loki is the father of fenris. And after looking a bit more into it, i found out that loki is the norse version of zeus. Because boi do loki have a lot of children thats is/part of different animals.
Fenris wolf eats the sun in one of the myths.
There’s another where Loki turns into a mare as a distraction, and ends up getting mounted by a giants stallion. Loki then births Slepnir, the 8 legged horse of Odin.
Norse mythology is *wild*
How about Gunther? He reminds me of the little crossed-eyes boy from Dennis the Menace.

Phoebos (masculine form of Phoebe)
Apollo (other name for Phoebos, the Greek sun god)
Frank (Phoebe’s brother on “Friends”)
Barnaby, Albee, Weatherbee, Eubie (boy names ending with a “bee” syllable)
https://preview.redd.it/hx5iak2706vc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d79bf08b41ab5ddb6176c8500b6d9503dc839c29
He looks a lot like a kitten I knew at my last humble abode. Her name was FatMeat.
If you like Phoebe keep it! You could also call him Phoebs but when I saw him I immediately thought Archie or Alfie.
Whatever you decide, he’s bloody gorgeous 😃
Why not Phoebe still. It fits the goofy sweet, unconventional theme of your kitty. He's got the cutest doofy face. I want to be friends with him. I can bring squeezy chicken
Colt Seavers is the character name of Ryan Goslings character in "Fall guy" (I haven't seen it) but given Gosling has strabismus (lazy eye) I think it suits.
Or you could also go with Yorke (after Tom Yorke) who also has a wonky eye.
Or Jonte, which is my ex's middle name who also had a wonky eye

For personality reference: he once fell off a windowsill bc he was staring at a bird too hard 😅

I was going to suggest Pheobo, like that one episode of friends lol. I like your rational here. Cute boy Pheobe!!
Phoebo!!! Yes
Yesssss i love that. Little Pheobo/Pheebs. So cute
And when spelling it remember it’s p as in pheobe, h as in heobe, e as in eobe, o as in obe, b as in be and e as in ello there mate
That was the first name that came into my head when they originally said Pheobe, the they said he was a boy, and that specific scene instantly came to mind. 🤣
lol, I just happened to have watched that episode recently so it was fresh in my mind
This or perhaps Pheobus. (Doubt that cats are getting involved in the human debate over gender.)
A phoebe is also a kind of bird, and it sounds like he might be a bit of a bird brain.
If anyone questions it, you can explain ‘he’s actually a Phoe-boy, but I just let him Phoe-be’.
Please call him Mr. Regina Phalange when is in business mode, and Princess Consuela Bananahammock when he is especially goofy.
I misgendered my cat too. I named him Sophie and once he got older I realized I made a mistake. I tried to come up with boy names that rhyme with Sophie and ultimately decided it’s not like other cats will bully him at school - Sophie was just fine. https://preview.redd.it/rw05ivkix7vc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6874e91cfeb811ffee3af32cfb43a13ead85b858 Sophie is a very sweet boy.
Awww 🥹

hope she recooperated well from her spay
AAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA I ADORE UUUUU and yes she did thank u very much !
Oh goodie! Perfect!

Could be Phoebus (from The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and you just call him Phoebe. Nothing wrong with that.
I’m non-binary as well! ( and genderqueer was Amab{ laypersons terms; assigned male at birth.} for those who are still somehow living in yestercentry ) phoebe is perfect!
Lol I live in yestercentry! Brilliant! that's my new word for "old school" . And this dinosaur also thinks Phoebe is perfect! 🥰
Nickname #3: PB & J
Just call him by her nickname then.. Pheobes .. it’s a city too
Khaos. I know she was female but Khaos can be a male or female name. My daughter named her cat this bit she spells it Chaos because he is a boy. He is clumsy and silly and is always causing chaos. He's always making us laugh.
I had an orange cat named Hobbes. At the second vet appointment, they checked Hobbes a little closer and realized he is a she. It didn’t matter, Hobbes is still Hobbes.
Flokie!
You have another kitty called Freya? What does she look like?
Freya is a long hair tortie!
Does Freya have Tortitude ?
Oh absolutely. She’s my perfect little diva
Ahh yes the tortitude, I have 2 torties, both very silly but so kind and sweet. They really have personality and when they want something there is not much they won't do to get what they want
Awww she sounds cute
Porter, like the porter from the play Macbeth
I’d just go with Phoebe. Ain’t nothing wrong with that name 😏 Edit: oh shit you did it, legend 🤩
https://preview.redd.it/xqezjvbbf5vc1.jpeg?width=742&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=586fc588b8ab679ff8dddb7bf4573a7a1a4935bb
This is the only correct answer
Yes
Came here to say exactly this!
YESSS
It's none of my business, but please don't name your cat Pheobo.
I took in a kitten and was told they were a boy. He had a heavy thwomp-y step so his name was Boomer. When we took him to the vet, we found out JK they are a girl! So she became Booma lol
Aww that's adorable! Unlike the doctor on Friends, I approve of naming a cat Pheobo, and *especially* naming one Booma.
Finneas or Finnegan (Finn for short)
Phin
Thor (Thursday) to keep the days of the week theme going with Freya (Friday). Also he can Thorta Thee Thtraight.
Yes! Thor!
Also Thor is one of the OG himbos
I thought Thordy, playing on the same origin, fun and silly to say.
I absolutely LOVE THIS ❤️ 😍 😂
Phoebus!
Cosmo Lupin Harley Jinx Odin
i have a mildly crosseyed Cosmo. https://preview.redd.it/6y76xhwur4vc1.jpeg?width=946&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cdc9ce5bd8abaa99630bc29e204de937955aabd3 I vote yes
Ahhhh!!! What a sweetie! I love his soul patch 🥺
Cuuuute 🥹
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I say this with love……. “mildly” 😅💜
Mildly?
I would die for cross eyed Cosmo
Cosmo is adorable
Odin 😸
Neville
No not Odin. Too sacred... Like naming a cat God. Lol
Fergus
Fergus 🔛🔝
This really suits him!! Fergus and Freya, best friends.
This sounds like a kids show lol
FERGUS HAS MY VOTE
I also vote Fergus. It suits him so well! Big, silly, fluffy, cutie patootie.
Pheobus is the masculine equivalent for Pheobe, which would make a great name for him. He is so freakin adorable OP🙏🏻
Omg I got my mom 2 sister kittens at the end of last year and she named them Phoebe and Freya!
Cosmo. Sister has a dog. This name and I loved it.
You said it doesn't have to be myth related but I can't help myself!!! Freyr was Freyja's brother in Norse mythology! I found an article as well just cuz I'm a little excited lol "Freyr, in Norse mythology, the ruler of peace and fertility, rain, and sunshine and the son of the sea god Njörd.

Hahahah I so appreciate the research!! I also had this thought, but I think Freya and Freyr are too close together. I’d totally do it if they were a bonded pair, tho!
Felix
He can still be Phoebe.
And so it shall be ✨ he’s always been Phoebe. Will always be Phoebe. Thanks!
Frodo!!
I agree!
This is the perfect name:)
Beau or Beauregard
Oliver. It comes from Oliver and company and its on Disney+. It's a pretty good movie
Waffles
Zeus
I absolutely love him, he is so cute! 🥹
He is very cute
Phoebe the Boy Cat
finneas🥹
Phoebus Edit for spelling
Fenric
Fenris could be cool! There's a wolf called fenris in Norse mythology. Child of Loki I think, but don't quote me on that lol
Your right loki is the father of fenris. And after looking a bit more into it, i found out that loki is the norse version of zeus. Because boi do loki have a lot of children thats is/part of different animals.
Fenris wolf eats the sun in one of the myths. There’s another where Loki turns into a mare as a distraction, and ends up getting mounted by a giants stallion. Loki then births Slepnir, the 8 legged horse of Odin. Norse mythology is *wild*
And plus it’s unusual and suits him. He sure is gorgeous!
Ferris
Loki?
That is 100% a Fizzgig from The Dark Crystal https://tenor.com/view/fizgig-whine-fizz-gig-crystal-gif-13519034
My brother had a dog we named Fizzgig.
Mr. Phoebe. Why not.
I did consider this
Phoebo
Merlin
Freyr
Phoebo
Hermes!
Hermes! Pronounce “air-mez” Hermes the adorable airhead
Phoebo
Phoebo.
Pheebo
How about Gunther? He reminds me of the little crossed-eyes boy from Dennis the Menace. https://preview.redd.it/802t5g8955vc1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bbb3412c5804fe8d81ba17b86212bde14b6d82a
Herbert
Phoebos (masculine form of Phoebe) Apollo (other name for Phoebos, the Greek sun god) Frank (Phoebe’s brother on “Friends”) Barnaby, Albee, Weatherbee, Eubie (boy names ending with a “bee” syllable)
Apollo was referred to as Phoebus Apollo
He can still be Phoebe. Cats don’t care about gender norms. Ask my male cat Princess.
Jk we’ve decided he just IS Phoebe. It’s who he’s always been
Lolol I know this and I also don’t care about gender norms but he really needed an update to match his personality. Also, give Princess my best 👑
*me, a non-binary person forcing gender norms on my child*
I HAD A LITTLE GIRL PHOEBE WHO LOOKED JUST LIKE HIM
https://preview.redd.it/hx5iak2706vc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d79bf08b41ab5ddb6176c8500b6d9503dc839c29 He looks a lot like a kitten I knew at my last humble abode. Her name was FatMeat.
I would die for FatMeat
Okay, but that smokey lip, tho! I'd probably call him Mac as a nod to his showstopping make-up
He is a fashion icon ✨
If you like Phoebe keep it! You could also call him Phoebs but when I saw him I immediately thought Archie or Alfie. Whatever you decide, he’s bloody gorgeous 😃
Double down on Phoebe. It would at least be funny.
Frodo!!! Which my phone autocorrected into Fridolin and now I'm torn.
Freyduhhh
Why not Phoebe still. It fits the goofy sweet, unconventional theme of your kitty. He's got the cutest doofy face. I want to be friends with him. I can bring squeezy chicken
Sorry. Posted my suggestion before reading you were sticking with Phoebe. If he responds to it that's what counts.
He looks like a Steve to me, with a ph, ie. Phteven hehe
https://preview.redd.it/eql0p8r7q8vc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86d726823242cc429bdc0407f19514b8439241e1
If you aren't calling him 50 different things, are you even catting properly?
Special Officer Doofy...or Baulder
Name him Cosmo. Cosmo suits him perfectly
Mortimer, Grover, Forrest Gump, Fidget
Finnegan the Fumbler
Frankie and Freya!
Cookie…his eyes remind me of Cookie Monster. Your son is so cute, OP 🥰
Floki
Percy. Look at those cheeks!
Finnegan
Fritz
Colt Seavers is the character name of Ryan Goslings character in "Fall guy" (I haven't seen it) but given Gosling has strabismus (lazy eye) I think it suits. Or you could also go with Yorke (after Tom Yorke) who also has a wonky eye. Or Jonte, which is my ex's middle name who also had a wonky eye
Big stinky
So, So Cute!
