What name should I give to my cat?

[Sneaklemming]

He's an Egyptian Mau

heres a pic of one- but its not him...

Spoiler

Here's a description of them:

Once worshipped as gods, the Egyptian Mau is one of the oldest cat breeds in existence, hailing from a line that extends back to the days of Ancient Egypt. In Egyptian, "Mau" means, "cat".

Truly the cat of Egyptian legend, the Egyptian Mau is the basis for the cat drawings seen engraved in the tombs of the Egyptian Pharaohs. These cats are thought to have been bred from a species of wildcat that was indigenous to Egypt when the Pharaohs ruled. There are no other breeds that look anything like the Egyptian Mau, and while it may share some similar lineage and traits with its Egyptian cousin the Abyssinian, it is still visually unique. A fierce hunter, the Egyptian Mau has been likened to a little tabby-sized panther. It has a streamlined body and chiseled features, and it is known for its amazing speed. It can run up to 35 miles per hour, faster than any other shorthaired, domestic cat in the record books. Egyptian Maus are usually very personable cats that adore their owners. They are very talkative, sociable, and playful! They will happily ride on your shoulders and sit in your lap, and they will always be curious about what's going on. The Mau can be a bit on the expensive side - you will pay at least 400 dollars for a kitten from a good breeder. Buying a Mau from a pet store is a bad idea, since kitten breeders who work for pet stores typically have less than adequate methods for socializing kittens properly and thus, you may end up with an ill-tempered Mau that won't like you, your house, or your family.

The Egyptian Mau is a sleek, statuesque cat, its Egyptian heritage showing through in shining colors. They have a light, medium length coat overall, displaying dark spots as their trademark trait. They come in a few select colors, most notably silver, smoke and bronze. Egyptian Maus also come in black, but this color in unacceptable in show. They have a classic Egyptian-style face, the picture of feline antiquity. Though the beautiful green eyes lose a bit of color depth as the cat ages, none of the expressiveness of their eyes is lost. The typical Egyptian Mau weighs around eight pounds.

Egyptian Maus were first brought to the United States in the late 1950's, when a Russian Princess brought them from the Fatima Cattery. For a long while, all members of the Egyptian Mau breed were descended from one of these two cats, until more of these magnificent animals were imported and bred.

Or something to fit the type of cat, like Anubis or Horus or any of the Egyptian Gods. Or possibly a pharaoh.

I personally named my cats Achilles and Elektra. I have a thing for ancient history.

He still could have looked through the other thread to see if there was a name he liked. Still, we don't get that many pet naming threads, so I guess this one can stay.

I think officially he's called Anubis in his papers, but its waaay too evil for a kitten, and I get enough irony per day, than to have Anubis following me around all day for some kitten food!

Pharaoh is cute. I have a silver tabby I named Galahad.

Play with him for a while, his personality will come out and you'll find yourself calling him something.
