Congratulations! Choosing a name for your new kitten is an important decision. Disagree or stuck on how to name baby? No problem. Kitten name tips and resources below will help you enjoy this special, happy time! The main things to consider are gender, breed, meaning, and association.
This one is simple.
Of course, you don't want to give your boy kitten a girl name or vice versa.
This may cause strange reactions when others are introduced to your cat who can pick up on that vibe.
Cats have emotions too.
Let's not create any unecessary trouble.
If you know kitten's gender, try the options below:
Male |
Female |
Unisex (suitable for either)
Consider the kitten's breed and origin.
For example, wouldn't it be cool to give a Persian kitten a Persian name?
Try it out:
Persian
Take care to select a name with a positive meaning. Be cognisant that a normal word in one language may be offensive in another. For example, Deuce may sound like a cool name for a two-colored kitten, but it means "devil" in Latin. With our world becoming closer, it's more likely your kitten may be around people from other countries.
Avoid names with negative associations.
For example, don't let hubby choose the same name as a cheating ex-boyfriend that he doesn't know about.
Instead, opt for pleasant thoughts like:
Chocolate |
Diamond |
Snow |
White
