Schroedinger Cat sounds much more natural then Cat of Schroedinger…

Except it's linguistically incorrect. Cat of Schroedinger is genitive case, as is Schroedinger's Cat. And although the alternative is uncommon in English, it's still correct. It's common in German. Schroedinger Cat is wrong. Schroedingers Cat is wrong.

Fesco's simply naming its child. If birth certificate entries are any indication, there is no such thing as misspelling a name prior to it's having been officially recorded. In this case, I would think that point in time would be announcement of official F19 release.

IMO, if you want a name that will commonly be seen in print misspelled, and that many would have no clue how to type correctly with common keyboards (if that's even possible), keep the diacritic. If not, a spelling including oe instead makes good sense, with or without of or s or apostrophe.
