Names for white cats - 100 beautiful and unusual nicknames

Choosing a name for a little white kitten

General rules for creating nicknames

If the kitten is purebred and was born in a nursery, then the breeders give it a name in accordance with the accepted formula. His pedigree indicates his date of birth, month and year. The babies from the first litter of cats are named with the letter “A”, those from the second – “B”, the third – “C”. The kitten's full name also contains the name of the cattery plus a characteristic feature of the breed. The kitten's name, up to 40 characters, must be entered in the stud book and can be reused no earlier than after 30 years. For example, it might sound like this: Duke Vincent Charlie Whitney Wee-Zest or Georges Louis Cher Fire Fox. In this case, it is better for the owners to shorten the name or give a pet nickname that does not coincide with what is written in the documents.

Birth of kittens

Two-syllable nicknames of 3 to 5 letters with emphasis on the first syllable are perfect for kittens. It is desirable that the animal's name be sonorous and clearly distinguishable when pronounced. And it contained whistling and hissing sounds (ch, sch, sh, s). It is not recommended to call the kitten names that sound like sharp commands: “Shoo,” “Get out.” The name may reflect such characteristics of the kitten as color, eye color, and characteristic habits.

Features of white cats - color symbolism

For people of world cultures, nationalities and religions, the color white evokes various associations. Christianity associates it with purity and innocence. Buddhism - with enlightenment and peace. However, with any interpretation, white is the source of origin. It combines all existing colors and correlates with goodness, innocence and nobility.

According to legend, white cats bring happiness, prosperity and peace. They help maintain harmony in the home, protect against the evil eye and the influence of unfavorable forces.

Snow-white kittens look very fragile and defenseless, so most owners tend to give their pets names associated with purity and tenderness.

Selection criteria and rules

A white kitten is a source of positive emotions for all household members. Therefore, choosing his name is a common task for the whole family. It is better to come up with a nickname for white cats, depending not only on the color, but also on the gender of the baby. Both presentable and funny nicknames are suitable for boys. When there are other shades in the color of a white kitten, the name can be chosen taking into account the combination of colors.

The pet's name may reflect its breed. It’s good to name Munchkin after the hero of the fairy tale “The Wizard of Oz.” For example, Totoshka or Woodman. This is due to the fact that the word munchkin came into our speech from this fairy tale.

For Scottish Fold kittens, names such as Duncan, Stuart or Scott are suitable. And for Kurilian bobtails - Murakami, Osaka, Kyoto, because their homeland is the closest neighbor of Japan.

The nickname often reflects the baby's habits. An active and lively pet can be called Ataman, Typhoon or Flash. Calm and slow - Dream, Morpheus, Morgan. For a kitten with the makings of a thinker, the names Diogenes, Socrates, Curie or Rodin are suitable.

The size of the pet also affects its name. Names such as Shrek, Thor, Svyatogor, Atlant are associated with large kittens. And Micro, Standard, Atom - with fragile and miniature ones.

We should not forget about another important criterion when choosing a name for a cat - euphony. The nickname should be easy to pronounce and understand by ear. The best option is considered to be names in which vowels and hissing sounds predominate.

The name should be chosen so that it is convenient for the pet to understand. It is easier for kittens to remember simple nicknames ending in “i”.

Another criterion is to rely on the kitten’s appearance. For an absolutely white baby without spots or shades, nicknames that emphasize this quality are suitable: Snowball, Crystal, Snow, Ice.

It is important to remember such features as eye color. A white boy kitten with blue eyes can be named Sapphire, Lake, Mercury, Skye or Poseidon. For a green-eyed pet, the names Forest and Elf are suitable.

Growing up, animals often begin to live up to the character of their nickname. You need to remember this before you call a kitten a Maniac or a Cannibal.

By character, temperament

A cat with white fur is different from other cats. He is more gentle and attached to his owner. High sensitivity in character is manifested in his suspiciousness and touchiness. Therefore, in order to choose a suitable nickname for a pet, the owner needs to observe the baby and identify its individual characteristics.

For example:

• A kitten with a wayward character can be called Ataman, Macho, Brawler or Leader.
• A lover of tasty treats - Peach, Donut, Bagel, Cracker.
• Noble and seasoned - Marquis, Lord, Count, Baron.
• Wild and daring - Leo, Cactus, Viking or Le Havre.
• Musical - Bob, Filey, Jason, Mike.

There is a belief that the name not only influences the future fate of the baby, it is directly related to the character of the animal. Therefore, the nickname should be concise and emphasize the characteristic features of the kitten.

Choosing a name based on behavior

If the owner seeks to reflect the behavior of the cat in his nickname, then there is no need to rush into making a choice. It is better to wait until the baby adapts to the new home, observe his habits, and name him based on this.

• A smart and curious kitten - Whirlwind, Storm, Sound or Byte.
• Funny and playful - Ether, Lay, Xan.
• Desperate and fearless - Hector, Yun, Leon or Leopold.
• Delicate and flexible - Solomon, Dietfield, Filimon.
• Strong and lively - Richard, Dustin, Kemp, Ethan, Hiroki.
• Prudent and calm - Greg, Ping, Thoth.

If you do not intend to wait for any manifestations of his character, name the white kitten one of the variants of the word “beautiful” or “beloved”: Allan, Cosmos, or Dora.
