Picking the Right Name
Now that you’ve seen our suggestions, there are a few things to consider when giving a new family member a name.
- Select a one- or two-syllable name — Anything longer will be hard for your cat to learn and recognize as their own. A lot of cats respond to “kitty, kitty” due to the high-pitched tone you use and the easily recognizable sound. If you cannot find one that fits, try finding a longer name that you like that can easily be shortened into the perfect nickname.
- Only consider names that you’ll feel comfortable saying out loud — You’re going to have to introduce others to your pet, including the veterinary staff, your family, friends, and neighbors. Try not to pick something that would make you hesitate before saying it.
- Observe your cat’s personality — Although it seems like you already have this one down, personality is a huge factor in naming, so you want to find one that fits. Even in a long list of sassy names, not all will fit your kitty. If your cat is especially mischievous, take a look at this list.
- Refer to your favorite books, movies, or TV shows — Thinking of some of your favorite characters from the big screen or in books you have read can help you come to a final decision. Not only will you know the characters well enough to determine whether the name fits your cat, but it will also hold meaning for you.
- Consider your cat’s history — Does your cat have a history before landing a spot in your heart? People can bring in cats from all different backgrounds. If you have a purebred, consider their origins. If you have a regular mixed breed cat, consider where they came from and see if you can find an interesting name associated with that.
- Make it a group effort — Bring the rest of your family or even friends in on the fun. The name will have that much more meaning if it were agreed upon by everyone in the household
