115+ Cat Names From The Aristocats for Male & Female Kitties
Updated on
The Aristocats is a classic Disney movie based on the true story of a Parisian cat family that inherited a fortune in 1910. The plot revolves around a family of aristocratic cats and their evil butler who tries to catnap them to gain their wealth. Though it originally came out in the 1970s, its 1996 VHS release helped it appeal to a new generation of Disney lovers.
If you’re adopting a new kitten soon and are wondering, “What are the cats’ names in Aristocats so I can use them for my next pet?”, you have stumbled across the right blog. Read on to find the best names inspired by cats from The Aristocats for the new boy or girl kitty coming into your life.
How to Name Your New Kitty
When picking an Aristocat-inspired name for your kitty, you should consider your new pet’s physical characteristics and personality traits.
Does she have long, white fur and bright blue eyes like Marie or Duchess? Or maybe he has orange fur like Toulouse or a dark gray coat like Berlioz?
Is he mischievous like Edgar Balthazar, the butler who tries to steal the fortune from the Aristocats? Or is he friendly like Roquefort, the mouse that’s good friends with Duchess?
There’s no need to rush into choosing the right name for your new addition. Give yourself time to get to know them so you can pick the perfect name that suits their personality and appearance. We also recommend taking the names you shortlist out for a test drive before settling on it. Sometimes, names that sound and look good on paper don’t roll off the tongue the same way.
