Kitten and Cat Names – How to come up with a unique kitten name
Finding great kitten or cat names can seem overwhelming at first. You want something unique, different and cute. And it should be something you won’t get tired of repeating every day for the next fifteen to twenty years! It should match your new kittens look, personality and lifestyle.
The possibilities are endless. That’s the great thing about baptizing an animal. There are no limits to your creativity. It doesn’t have to fit in the playground, and no one will make fun of its name if it’s really out of the ordinary. So go ahead, express yourself!
OK, now what? One idea is to browse lists of popular cat names. But that just might ruin your plan to be original. You want to be unique, so why choose the same name as everyone else? However, this is a good way to start. It might give you some ideas.
The first thing to think about with any name is how it will sound. You’ll have to say it a lot, and you don’t want to get tired of it. You also want your cat to hear it easily. This is why many cats have a name with a long vowel – they quickly understand their name if it has a long vowel, such as the “e” in Leo.
Kitten names can reflect their appearance. If you have a black cat, how about Luna, Midnight or Ninja? A white cat can be called Bianca. A tiger cat can be called, well, you know!
The next idea is to take brainstorming a step further. For example, let’s say you have a gray kitten. Smokey is an obvious choice. Instead, think all things gray. Gray weather makes me think of clouds, storms, how about a Twister or Nimbus (short for cumulus)? Or maybe your kitty is more silvery? Platinum is a clever name. Silver leads to jewelry, how about Bling?
You may want to consider your kittens personality. Does he like to climb? Is she a total hugger? These traits can lead to a name! I once knew a cat who was just crazy. His owner gave him a Native American name that reflected his wild nature.
Some of the best kitten names are ones that reflect your unique personality. Do you have a favorite author, sports hero or even a hobby? Take some time to think and you might just come up with the perfect name!
If you get two kittens, you can choose their names to match. Twin kitten names are fun and express a special bond between the kittens. On the other hand, many choose to name each kitten individually. This is entirely your choice.
Want to get weird? I have personally known Hosehead, Chainsaw and Three. There really are no limits when it comes to unique kitten names!
Some of the best kitten names are human names, precisely because they are human! Some of the best human names are so very human that they’re downright weird and unique to a cat!
There is no rush. Get to know your kitty. Spend some time tying and observing it, and in the meantime, consider some of these categories:
- Human names
- mythology
- Real life celebrities
- mythology
- Literature
- Weather
- Your hobbies and personal interests
Kitten names can come from anywhere. They all provide great inspiration, and once you’ve chosen the perfect name, you’ll know it!
