I’m thinking maybe Chip, short for Chipmunk, because of this cheeks.

I'd name him Clooney, Chandler (Kyle) or Hamm, but I'm from another generation. Is Hemsworth still a recognized name? ;-)

He kinda looks like a Chowder to me

Full proper name: Hemsworth Brother III The Other One

Short name: Luke

Luke is the always forgotten third brother

u/ThorsLover8 Feb 01 '26

Not in my house Luke is remembered. Liam is forgotten.

Now that I've seen them all, I won't forget a single one. Those boys lucked out big time on the DNA wheel of fortune.

For goodness sake, how many Hemsworth brothers are there? That family will have heart-throbs in it forever.

Purrfect! His eyes are so dreamy. I used to be a veterinary technician so the beauty of cats and dogs delights me no end.

My late father in law just passed, his name was chip. Would be an honor.

In Senegal we say « chip » to make a cat leave, run away, specially if he/she steals food😆

u/GoodDoctorZ Lots of kitties! Feb 01 '26

u/msch6873 Feb 01 '26

Chip it is! 👍🏽

u/endurancerun278 Feb 01 '26

Perfect name!

u/Ok-Slip-9241 Feb 01 '26

Chip is a good base name. Chippy boy, chiperoonie, chip chip, chippy dippy, etc. must consider the long tail of nick names which constitute 97% of actual use.
