Name My Cat - male Name for my handsome, very big white boy

He is 16 lbs and is still growing out his coat after it was shaved down due to severe matting. He is definitely a long hair gentleman, so keep that in mind.

I had been thinking Pavarotti but it’s a bit of a mouthful… I like a distinguished name more-so than a cutesy one. If he was more dainty / delicate it would be Pavlova no question… but he simply is far from a ballerina or a meringue.
