Choosing a name for the newest member of your feline family can be tough. On one hand, you’re looking for a name that’s going to reflect your fluffer’s purrsonality to a tee.

On the other, you’re hoping to name her something that’s going to leave a mark on the world… The same way Taylor Swift changed the trend of naming your cat after famous people by naming her Scottish fold none other than Olivia Benson.

Now, we’re not saying you should follow the steps of the biggest pop star the world has ever seen (unless you want to!) But, why not take a page out of her book and name your cat after something or someone that’s made a mark on your life?

Whether that’s a TV character that’s motivated you to change your life. Whether that’s a place that reminds you of your family. When you decide on a name for your fluffer, you have to be ready to hear and utter that name a hundred times a day.

Therefore, we’re bringing you a bunch of cat names based on Mexican culture – whether that’s the language, the people, or even the cuisine. Buckle up because you’re about to remember why you became smitten with Mexico from the get-go.

Mexican cat names for felines that adore a little “siesta” during the day

When you come home with a bundle of fluff, there’s nothing you want more than to spend the rest of the day taking a “siesta” with her.

We know that most cats adore napping, snuggling on your chest, and purring the day away as you watch over them. While you can take some time off, we’re suggesting you get to know your fluffer better before you name her.

Maybe you’re thinking of Mexican cat names because you want something that reminds you of your family. Perhaps you’re fascinated by Mexican culture and you’re looking to name your cat something that’s different and unique. Whatever the case might be, we’re here to help.

How to choose the right name for your cat?

What now?! You have all these options, but the issue is that you like the most of them. How can you pick a name and be sure that you won’t regret it in a month’s time? How do you know that it’s going to suit your kitty?

Choosing the moniker for your feline may seem like an easy task, but the moment you start the process, it can quickly become quite daunting. That’s why we’ve gathered some tips to help you make a decision. If you follow these rules, you’re not going to regret your choice.

1. Don’t rush

Don’t think that you have to name your kitty the day you bring her home. That way, you may end up making a mistake and giving her a name you won’t like in a week’s time.

So, it’s better to take some time and observe your kitty’s traits. What’s something you like the most about her? This could be your starting point for choosing the perfect name.

2. Don’t overcomplicate it

Names that consist of three or more words may sound funny and different, but are they practical? Do you think that your kitty will be able to learn her name?

It’s best not to complicate things and to choose something that’s easy to remember. You can pick a unique name and still keep it simple.

3. Make a selection

We’ve provided you with a list of more than 300 names for Persian cats. What you should do now is make a shortlist of those you like the most.

You can pick a name or two out of each category or choose multiple names from the same category. Eventually, once you narrow it down to the top contenders, it’s easier to choose the name that stands out the most – the one that resonates with your furbaby the best.

Don’t bother about what others have to say about it. Your cat, your rules!

Whether you’re planning on getting an Egyptian Mau kitten from a reputable breeder or already playing fetch with the sweetest purrincess, you might be struggling to pick out a name perfect for a cat worshiped by many before you. Cats deserve names that correspond with how grand they are, right?

Egyptian Mau is one of the most popular, prominent breeds out there, and it’s been that way for thousands and thousands of years. With a quick Google search, you might be surprised to see that these curious creatures adorn the temples and halls of Ancient Egypt. 

“Mau” comes from the Ancient Egyptian word for cat. We don’t mean to start drama among the feline fandom, but that might mean that Egyptian Maus are the embodiment of everything cats are supposed to be – intelligent, independent, and regal. With a Mau by your side, you’re royalty.

When picking out the perfect name for your Egyptian Mau cat, you might want to keep an eye on a few things to ensure you’re doing what’s best for her. While there’s nothing wrong with generic cat names, we’re pretty positive you don’t want to name your meower something as simple as Tiger. We’ve got you!

What to consider when picking out the purrfect name

When you’re done spending all your money on food, all the gear you need, figuring out vets and insurance, and finding potential cat sitters, you’re probably ready to figure out a name for your four-legged friend. Whether you’re drawn to Garfield or Milo, you need to decide ASAP.

But trying to be creative and come up with a good name for your new family member can prove a challenge. Before you even know your cat’s personality or the little things she does when she’s bored or tired, you’re expected to come up with a name everyone adores.

We’re aware that you need to pick out something that all family members agree on and something that won’t require extensive explanations, but you’re the one who gets the final call. When picking out the right name for your Egyptian Mau cat, there are a few considerations to factor in.

Starting with purrsonality, that’s the simplest way to ensure you’re going with something that corresponds with your cat’s essence. Whether you decide to poke fun at the fact she eats everything she can get her paws on or celebrate her friendly and fun-loving nature, that’s up to you.

Opt for a name that’s easy to say, too, because you don’t want to spend the next twelve to fifteen years explaining your cat’s name to everyone who dares question it. Or go for a name based on your cat’s appearance and ensure everyone’s on the same page when you yell Ginger at the top of your lungs.

When you’re struggling to bite the bullet and condemn your feline friend to a lifetime of being called Mr. Fluff or Milo, you might want to take a peep at some of the most popular Nordic cat names. Whether you’re drawn to Scandinavian “human” names or names based on Norse mythology, we’ve got your back!

Before we offer you our two cents on some of the cute Nordic names, we need to underline the subtle difference between these terms. When you look for Nordic cat names, you might be confused by the number of “Scandinavian,” “Norse,” and “Viking” names you’re bombarded with. What’s the difference?

We’d argue that these terms are oftentimes seen as synonyms, but there’s something you need to know about them. Norse or Nordic names refer to the names of Scandinavian people from the 9th to 11th century who weren’t a part of seafaring adventures or colonization.

Scandinavian names are the names that are deemed popular across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, or Finland. Viking names are some of the most sought-after names for cats, whether that’s because they’re feared or respected. As you’re probably aware, Vikings were Norse warriors who traveled by ship to colonize new lands.

We can’t forget about names that come straight from gods and goddesses of Norse mythology, either, but we’re going to talk more about that down below. We’ve gathered a few of our favorite Nordic cat names to get you started and we’re keeping our fingers crossed you find something you like.

Picking the perfect name for your four-legged friend

Cat names can be quite challenging, especially when you’re unsure of the route you want to go. Cats deserve a name that represents them, that’s simple enough for them to understand, and that’s not going to make them question whether you’re calling them or yawning.

When you come up with a name for your four-legged friend, you need to understand that you’re going to utter that name a million times a day. Do you really want to scream Mr. Fluff every time your cat decides to act up and knock something down? Do you really want your neighbors to hear you scream Milo?

When picking the purrfect name for the newest addition to your feline family, you do need to pay attention to a few things. Start by considering your cat’s appearance and personality. Whether you want to play on the fact that your cat likes to sleep a lot or celebrate your cat’s ginger fur, that’s up to you.

Make sure you opt for a name that’s easy to say (and understand). When you call your cat by her name, you want her to understand that you’re calling her, right? We suggest going for something short and sweet – KonMari your cat’s name to ensure you’re not overcomplicating something super simple.

With that out of the way, though, don’t forget to opt for something you like, too. You’re going to use that name on the regular and you might be happy to call your cat Thor or Freya because that’s what ticks all the boxes for you. You do you and allow us to help you – with these adorable Nordic cat names.

Maybe you’re fostering some sort of a connection to the letter C. Maybe you’ve been drawn to cat names beginning with the letter C from the moment you met your friend’s Maine Coon cat named Chewie. Or maybe you’ve always dreamt that all the names of your feline family members will start with the letter C.

Whatever the case might be, we’re aware of how hard choosing the right name for the coolest cutie you’ve ever owned can be. You want to offer a nod to your cat’s addicting appearance and pleasing purrsonality, but you want to be creative, too. You want to come up with something sweet.

Cat names beginning with the letter C are popular for a reason. With a quick, confident sound at the beginning and the fact that the sound matches the word “cat” makes them one of the most common, classic names for pets ever. Callie, Charlie, Cleo – they’re all names that start with the letter C.

We’ve gathered a few of our favorite cat names beginning with C to get you started. Whether you’re on the hunt for a name based on gender, temperament, or the likes and dislikes of the little bundle of cuddles that’s waiting for the mysterious moniker, we’ve got you covered.

How to choose the right name for your cat?

When you bring home your little fluffer, you might be overwhelmed with the number of things you’re supposed to do – shop for delicious, nutritious food, prepare a warm and comfy bed, and get all the supplies ready to go. Picking the purrfect name might not be at the top of your priorities.

But, but, but – there’s always a but when you’re struggling to name your cat. Regardless of the name you decide to go for, you need to remember that you’re going to utter that same name a million times a day and that you’re probably going to struggle to get your cat to respond.

What are you supposed to watch out for when going through that entire process? Start simple. Go through a bunch of names based on your cat’s appearance or personality, as well as names that play on your cat’s likes and dislikes. Cats like simple names, the type of names they understand from the get-go.

While calling your cat Mr. Fluffer might be cute at the beginning, you might not like the fact that Mr. Fluffer doesn’t respond to that name. Fluff or Fluffy might be a better moniker because you’re better off opting for something short and sweet rather than confusing your cat.

Cat names beginning with C are a great place to start because they’re wearable and versatile. Cat owners opt for names beginning with the letter C because they’re some of the most creative (and cute!) names out there – and that’s why we’ve written them all down for you. Let’s get started!

Bengal cats are a sight for sore eyes, there’s no question about that. When you see a Bengal cat roaming around your apartment, you might confuse the curious creature for a Liliputian leopard or a wild cat that accidentally stumbled upon your humble abode. Bengal cats are everything you need and more.

Whether you’re on the hunt for an affectionate feline that’s more than a lazy lap cat or a feral-looking hybrid that’s more than happy to explore the great outdoors with you, you can’t go bigger or better than a Bengal cat. After all, Bengal cats are a combination of wild Asian leopards and domestic cats.

With all that tea on the Bengal breed in mind, you probably agree that the newest addition to your furry family deserves a moniker that attracts attention and turns heads. While we don’t have anything against the Nalas and the Milos of the feline world, we strongly believe that Bengal cats deserve better names.

We’re bringing you everything you need to know about picking the perfect name that reflects both your cat’s qualities and your creativity, as well as a few of our favorite Bengal cat name picks.

What to watch out for when picking the perfect name for your bubbly Bengal cat?

Who would’ve thought that picking the perfect name for your cat would be challenging? While you’re allowed to name your cat anything you’d like, you do need to consider the possibility that your cat might not like the name you opt for. Cats responded better to higher pitches and varied pitches, for example.

When naming your cat, you might want to pay attention to what the name sounds like. Cats are more likely to respond to shorter, snappier words that give off a simple, clear message. When you call your cat, you want her to process the word and associate that sound with you trying to get her attention.

A cat can learn her name well enough to come when called – as long as you’re consistent with how you call her. When you name your cat something silly (Captain Crunch, for example), you’re probably going to end up calling your cat by numerous nicknames – Cap, Crunchy, Crunch, etc.

At the end of the day, you want your cat to know that you’re calling her when you utter her name. Before you bestow a silly name on your Bengal, make sure you consider her appearance and her personality, opt for something easy to say, and stick with it. But you already know that, don’t you?

Cat names that play on Bengals’ looks

Where do we even start with Bengal cats? Bengal cats, as we mentioned before, have wild origins considering that they’re a hybrid between an Asian leopard and a domestic cat. Because of that, Bengal cats look pretty wild themselves, although they’re the sweetest domestic cats ever.

But Bengal cats aren’t dainty pets. Although they’re not as big as Maine Coons or Norwegian Forest cats, they’re blessed with a muscular athletic build that needs to be celebrated. What better way to celebrate Bengal cats than to name them based on their addicting appearance?

Actually, choosing the right moniker for your meow machine happens to be the hardest thing you’re ever going to do. We’re being a tad dramatic, but we’ve gone through thick and thin trying to get our paws on the cutest cat names with the most mysterious meanings out there – because we care.

When you name your bundle of cuddles, you’re going to repeat that name a million times in the years to come. “Garfield, don’t touch that!” “Bella, what are you chewing on!?” “Tiger, we need to talk about you peeing outside the litter box!” You get what we’re saying.

Whether you adopted a kitten from the shelter or bought one from a reputable breeder, chances are you aren’t going to be happy with the name they’ve chosen for your forever friend. With that out of the way, we’ve prepared a step-by-step guide on what to consider when coming up with a unique name.

More on that down below!

What to consider when choosing the perfect name for your fluffy friend

African cat names have the most bewildering meanings and we’re not surprised you’re thinking of naming your feline friend Hibo or Alke. And sure, you’re allowed to take the easy way out by picking out a name that sounds nice rather than one that fits your feline to a T.

But that’s not fun, right? Before you settle on the first African moniker we mention, we urge you to look at a few things.

Firstly, spend some time observing your feline and thinking of the things that make her stand out – the things that make you adore her even more. For example, what’s her eye color? What’s her personality like? What does she do that makes you think “Wow, I’m so happy I adopted her!?”

When you’re done doing that, you’ll have a better understanding of what names and meanings to focus on. Furthermore, don’t go overboard with the name – don’t get too funny, racially offensive, culturally offensive, or misogynistic. We don’t need to explain why, right?

Finally, there’s nothing wrong with bestowing a name on your fluffy BFF that means something to you. Whether that’s your favorite African actor, your celebrity crush, or even your favorite food that makes you think of your family – whatever you decide to do, we’ve rounded up a number of names to help you out.
