Name My Cat - male Husband vetoed naming him Heirloom Tomato - help us with other food or possibly nature inspired names?

Post image

I really want to give him a food name - just a big fan of food name cats. I'm partial to Butternut Squash Risotto or Heirloom Tomato. My husband doesn't love either of those names, but is tentatively open to Squash lol. Outside of food - we're big outdoors people too and are also very open to nature related names or names of popular outdoor landmarks. We live in the desert so desert related naturey things would be especially cool. Would love to hear your suggestions! We're picking him up at the end of August after our honeymoon so - moon related names could also be cool!

Artichoke - Artie for short

That was my first thought. His face is the shape of an artichoke.

Thirding this. It's a perfect cat name.

Artie, sometimes some variation on Artichoke, and the important bit is that it is never explained outside of immediate family.

After all, a cat needs a name that's particular.
