Cat names considered and
compiled by Amanda Fruta
Cats are such unique
animals full of personality. I think their names should share
their grace, independence, intelligence, cuteness, and sense of
humor. My personal preferences and impressions about cats have
shaped this list.
I have made connections
between gender and attributes of cats and used these as a
guideline for my name selections. All cats are cute, so all
cats can have cutesy, kitschy, sometimes silly names. References
to pop culture are amusing according to the owners personal
taste. It should also be noted that many of these names are
unisex.
Words referencing color or
nature are always nice names for cats of both genders. Male cats
names should be archaic (either outdated or direct references to
myth/classical history), effeminate, romantic, or ironic.
Female cats should have names that are matronly/dowdy or
unfashionable, cute, nature-inspired (flower names especially),
Shakespearian, or after something edible (sweets, spices, and
perhaps herbs).
