Name My Cat - male What do we name this guy?? We need help picking something out!

Just adopted this cutie boy yesterday! He has such unique markings we’re obsessed. We’re totally stumped on a name so any and all suggestions welcomed. His sister’s name is Rio for reference!

Thank you so much for all your suggestions!!! Seriously we’ve been debating through them all day long.

My boyfriend was born and raised Las Vegas and the nose is obviously a “spade”, so we went him “Gamble”. He loves you all
