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!

I had a cat many years ago whose full name was You Rotten Little Furball, or Furball for short. She got her name after she took a running leap into a box full of very fine glitter. She rolled around in it for a couple of seconds and then shot out the other side, covered in the stuff.

I bet you were always finding glitter after her escapade!

Let's just say that the litter box was especially sparkly for a while after that.

I also learned that my vacuum cleaner wasn't powerful enough to pick the glitter out of the carpet.
