Ways to choose a name for kittens
When thinking about what to name a kitten, you can start from visible factors - color, characteristics of the breed or the history due to which the pet appeared in the house.
Other options could be:
- movie characters, characters from books, TV series, cartoons and popular games;
- famous actors, singers, musicians;
- scientists and artists;
- geographical objects;
- historical figures;
- athletes and show business stars;
- names of flowers and plants;
- natural phenomena.
Owners often come up with nicknames for cats by combining letters from their own names and surnames into new words. There are also names with patronymics, and animals eventually remember the long sound so well that they proudly respond only to the full version of their nickname. And they won’t even turn an ear to the shortened version.
An interesting way is to give the furriest pet the opportunity to choose. To do this, write the nicknames you like on pieces of paper and lay them out in a chaotic order in front of the pet. Whichever piece of paper he pays attention to or steps on with his paw, that’s what he should be called.

Funny names
Lately, cool names for cats have become fashionable. Some call the pet, as in an advertisement or cartoon: Wooddy, Goofy, Tom, Boris, Fixik, Chip, Dale, Olvis. These nicknames sound good and are liked by many.

Cool cat names for boys - Baton, Raisin, Bearded Man, Belyash, Kapot, Zyuzya - are more suitable for mongrel animals. For pets with a pedigree, they are humiliating.

Things to consider
When purchasing a purebred cat, you are given a cat passport, which already contains the name and often takes into account complex parental names, breed, nursery names and personal characteristics. It is not necessary to use acquired full names, such as Lepold and Archibald, at home, but you can shorten the nickname and call the cat Leo or Archie.
Experts say that cats should be called by short nicknames, consisting of one or a couple of syllables, and that cats react to the first few sounds, they are no longer interested in the rest.
For them, the main thing is the intonation with which you pronounce the name, the tone and volume of pronunciation.

It is also very important that in the cat’s name you need to use hissing and whistling sounds, for example “Ш” and “С”, this way they are remembered faster, everyone knows that almost all cats respond to “kitty-kitty”. But if from a young age your baby responds to a name without hissing sounds, then it suits him, he likes it and is quite happy with it.
Nicknames can be very different from simple to the most unusual. You can name a cat simply by opening a geographic atlas (Nile, Rome, St. Petersburg, Samara, Milan), or, for example, in honor of the ancient Greek gods (Zeus, Hera. Athena, Hermes, Cupid). When choosing a nickname, you can rely on the animal’s date of birth (Martha, Mike, August), the names of philosophers, composers, musicians and historical figures (Mozart, Caesar, Bonaparte, Adolf, Cleo).
Many cat breeders focus only on the color of the animal: Ugolek, Nast, Count, Black, Klyaksa, Porsche, as well as Snowball, Peach, Vanilla, Zephyr, Ryzhik and Pumpkin.
If you take into account the breed of a cat when choosing a name, you can give it a very beautiful cat name:
- For British girls, nicknames Nick, Lily, Alice (for boys Earl, Prince, Duke) are suitable;
- Scottish girls are given the names Millie, Bella (boys are named Red, Smoke, Gray);
- Persian cats with their flat faces lend themselves to affectionate names such as Mulya, Basya, Busya, Siama (cats Baksik, Marsik, Maksik).

What names do cats like?
Animals hear and perceive only the first few letters of their name. Therefore, names for male cats should be clear and concise. There is no point in calling your pet double words. All the same, he will respond only to the first part of the nickname.
It is advisable to come up with cat names for boys with hissing consonant sounds: “sch”, “sh”, “ch”. A good nickname should not only be easy to pronounce, but also memorable. Animals immediately begin to respond to the names Chuck, Chip, Chuk, Sorrel, Shock, Shurik. Cats really like nicknames with the letters “z”, “b”, “s”, “g”. That is why they respond so well to the familiar “kitty-kitty”. You can find a huge number of names with the letters “k” and “s”: Ice, Max, Dustin, Cosmos, Casper, Kex, Whiskas, Kiwis, Sim, Sam, Sema, Skat, etc.
When you give a kitten a nickname, do not forget that many of them, like human ones, have their own interpretation:
- Agate - “good, kind.”
- Agap - “beloved”.
- Kleon - “to glorify.”
- Kuzma - “gift, peace.”
- Hassan - “beautiful”.
- Hayat – “life”.
- Felix means “happy.”
- Leopold - "brave lion".
Take the meaning of the word seriously, because it can leave an imprint on the fate and behavior of the animal.
Names for Scots
British and Scottish cat breeds are very similar in appearance and many people confuse them. If you look at them more closely, you can notice the difference. Some Scots have the tips of their ears down. They are smaller than British cats, their hair is not as thick, and they have a different character and habits. Animals of the Scottish breed are very active, love to play and get along well even with dogs in the apartment. They have absolutely no sense of aggression.
Cat names for Scottish boys should also be chosen without irony. There should be no meaningless, stupid nicknames.
Come up with, for example, a nickname derived from the name of their “home” country or its capital: Shotti, Land, Eddie. Remember the national symbols of Scotland. The kitten can be given the nickname Leva or Unique. Or name your pet any name you like. Choose - Alan, Boyd, William, Jack, Donald, Gordon, Clyde, Cameron, Nevin, Roy, Ross, Evan.
Keep in mind that you will say your cat’s name more than once during the day. Therefore, choose one that is easy for you to pronounce. The main thing is that the baby likes the name, and he begins to respond to it willingly.
