So, you have a new kitten—how exciting! Now that you’ve met your new friend, it’s time to pick a name. This will shape the relationship and start the bonding experience as you get to know one another.
If you are drawn to the letter M—either for sentimental purposes or personal preference—we have more than 475 solid suggestions for you.
How to Name Your Cat
Naming your cat is so much fun! And there are tons of ways to pick the name that’s the perfect fit. You could do it all yourself, or you would rather have a little help from people you know and trust. Here are a few ways to finalize your choice.
Draw a Name Out of a Hat
You can go the old-fashioned way. Write down all of your favorite names on a piece of paper and fold each one up individually. Take a hat or a bowl, shake your names up, and draw at random.
Create an Online Poll
If you want to expand your opinion base, try an online poll. You can create your own on social media platforms and allow your followers to put in their two cents. It’s a fun way to get people involved—and you can even ask for new suggestions!
Gather the Family
If you have a growing family or want your extended family to get involved, gather up the troops and ask for input. Sometimes, they can come up with a name you love that you might have never thought up on your own. There is power in numbers!
Choose a Favorite
If you have a favorite character, word, or even dessert you love—and it starts with M—you are in business!
