When I brought my big boy cat home from the shelter, I had no idea what to name him. He was grey, majestic, and a little bit derpy. I didn't know if I wanted to go the epic Roman general route or a cute pun on a favorite singer. This cat was so many things and so many names seemed to suit him. After 24 hours of heated discussion, we ended up keeping him with the same funny name the shelter gave him: Paul. And now I can't imagine calling him anything else.
