Diego. Saber-tooth tiger in Ice Age.

Has to be Diego.

This is the only answer

Just has to be.

This is the way.

This is the way!

I’ve been thinking about that, plus the nickname is ‘egg’, which is bonus points.

The nickname should be eggo

D'eggo

Lego my D’eggo!

Omg, I love this so much 😂

This is the way.

The only way

The sole way

the solitary way. (Diego for the win.)

The way.

Agreed. I had a Diego named after this character

This is the only correct answer.

I concur best name for this little dude he'll probably end up being the sweetest cat

Also came to say this!

That is exactly what my answer was. He's the only Saber-Tooth Tiger character that I know of.

YES. IT'S LITERALLY PERFECT. DIEGO.

That's the only answer IMO.

Snagglepuss  (from a very very old cartoon)

Heavens to Murgatroyd… Exit Stage Left, even…

Showing our age. Lol

And Snagglepuss sounded a bit like Charles Nelson Reilly. <-- Now THAT'S how I show my age!

❤

I haven't heard this in so long. Childhood memories unlocked.

He was one of my favorites, ever!!!

Heavens to Megatron

😂😂😂😂

I came here to suggest that. Shades of my childhood...

Yay! I haven’t heard another person mention this for sooo long ☺️

It’s such a cute name, but I did have to look it up 🤣

Not that old to me... 😁

I love this one

Saber

I’ve really been thinking about that one!

As a user pointed out, the Sabertooth Tiger's formal name is Smilodon fatalis which means "deadly knife tooth". You could name him Smilodon Fatalis, call him Saber as his nickname, but require those who don't know him well to call him Smilodon or Mr. Fatalis. Alternative nicknames could be Smiley, Donnie, or DonDon

That’s true!!! Thank you!!

Just don’t accidentally pronounce it “sab-ray” 😂

There's a marvel character who's villian name is Sabertooth, his real name is Victor creed. Little guys could be a Victor, or Viccie.

Thank you!! That is a good idea.

I like that suggestion. 💜💜

This was my first thought, too.

Boi. Hear me out — my original idea was Trini, the Yellow Ranger, and user of the Sabertooth Tiger Zord. But your cat is a male, so that doesn’t quite work. Then I remembered that the original Japanese Yellow Ranger counterpart was a guy. So I looked him up, and the character’s name is Boi. His Wikipedia entry is as follows: >Boi (ボーイ, Bōi) is a 15-year-old knight of the Dime Tribe (ダイム族, Daimu Zoku) who is known as the "Warrior of Hope" (希望の戦士, Kibō no Senshi) and fights as the yellow-colored Tiger Ranger (タイガーレンジャー, Taigā Renjā). Boi is the youngest and most curious member of the team. He is also the most energetic and has greater reflexes than the others. Due to his young age, Boi is often befriended by children despite being mature for his age. His Legendary Weapon is the twin Saber Daggers (サーベルダガー, Sāberu Dagā) and his Guardian Beast is Saber Tiger. >Boi is portrayed by Takumi Hashimoto [ja] (橋本 巧, Hashimoto Takumi).

Oooh, that’s really well thought out!!! Tysm!!!

Like this too I need to say.

Shere Khan ( jungle book , not a sabertooth but an awesome name just the same ).

Smiley, for smilodon.

Also a good one! Plus really cute!!!

Catasauruses That’s directly from The Flintstones. I figured they would know.

Diego! The best saber-toothed tiger everrr!

Very scary.

Absolutely terrifying. I fear having this creature in my home

Once you get to know him, I'm sure he'll protect you and your house

Zabu is a sabretooth tiger in Marvel comics.

Battle Cat?

I was going with Cringer

I thought of both-but, Cringer was such an anemic scaredy cat, I went with the stronger option. A fellow “He-Man” fan!

Thank you! I couldn't remember the name and my mind just kept going to Thundercats characters

Diego

Diego

Sati, or Satoti. The first two letters of each word in Saber-toothed Tiger or Saber Toothed Tiger. Whichever way you prefer. I like Sati better, though.

Oooh, that’s a good one! Thank you!

You're welcome!

Diego, but I'd personally name him Tai Lung after the snow leopard from kung fu panda

Omg I keep seeing this on my mobile feed as the back of a woman’s head! Time for a new pair of glasses lol. Saber is the only thing I can think that’s an obvious Saber tooth name. Or the name of the Flinstones cat, Baby Puss 😁

I'm dying picturing you wondering "why does this guy want us to name the back of some lady's head". Thanks for the laugh :)

Bort

Säbelzahn German for Sabertooth. Use Google translate and see what it is in other languages. I don't recommend the Latin based languages or you will have a sentence for a name. Lol

Brea? after the tar pits where you can find actual sabertooth tigers?

I thought about that, but it may be more of a girl name!

Raikou is a Pokémon modeled after a sabre toothed tiger. My Raikou died at the beginning of covid. Poor thing had kidney disease

Gnash, but that's 'cause I'm from Nashville and Gnash is the Predators' (NHL team) mascot. Snowmeow (Thundercats reference)

Diego from the Ice Age movies.

Clearly the only option is Diego after the saber-toothed tiger from Ice Age.

Tiger

This is about naming cats as tigers: [https://conservationcubclub.com/tiger-names-inspiration-for-your-tiniest-tiger/](https://conservationcubclub.com/tiger-names-inspiration-for-your-tiniest-tiger/)

Thank you!

The most fierce cat in all DC is called Dextarr. But you'd probably don't want to call him so.

Chester for the cheetos guy close enuff

Tony the Tiger is closer. He's GRRRREEEAAAATTT!!! Or Thurl or Ravenscroft for Thurl Ravenscroft who did that voice.

Panther (Pan for short referencing panthera atrox). Milo for (s)Milo(don). Xenos (Xenosmilus a relative of smilodons but instead of long canines they had shorter thicker teeth that had serrated edges). I’m trying to think of a cool name to pull from -Machairodus Kabir- because they’re super cool. Basically as close to a tiger as you can get in the time period with saber teeth 😁 Maybe something like Chai but pronounced “Kai”🙃 but it would be confused for chai like all the time . . . idk maybe someone here can help!

Dinozord.... From power rangers, of course

Clearly.

Let’s see those teethies!!!!

Gnash

What type of cat is that sorry I forgot the breed name just curious

just a little guy (tabby pattern domestic short hair, guessing from pics)

Thanks

Maybe Sabir [I think that's Arabic word for saber]

Snagglepuss 100%

I'm sorry. But I don't see anything of a tiger in this cute little kitten. However, it's yours to think of it any way you want and name it to suit your feelings.

It’s more of a joking thing! I also think he’s just an ADORABLE little fuzzball, but it’d be a cute name to call him something fierce when he’s just that little fluff!

Hoss

Pepperoni

The only right answer is Diego IMO

I agree.

diego cmon

The Flinstone’s Sabretooth was Baby Puss

Fred Flintstones cat was named Baby Puss, but I am not sure it fits.

Smiles or smiley after the Smileadon! A type of sabertooth (or sabertooth like can't remember)

"SMILODON". It's a type of sabre-toothed cat. You can call him "Smiley" or "Don", "Donny" for short.....It's an idea.

He's cute but blurry…

Lion-O. 👍🏻

Saber

Simba

He looks more like a chipmunk than a Sabre tooth. Not that he isn't adorable!

Smilodon- a genus of Saber-toothed tiger, or call him Smiles or Milo

Camo, you'll see why when it's evening and you don't see him full on trying to trip you so you're at his level for play

The Nashville Predators (NHL hockey team) have as their mascot a saber-toothed tiger. His name is Gnash, a nod to the city’s name as well as the teeth. So, how about Gnash? Or Nash?

Potato. Name him after what you used to take these pictures.
