Getting a new fluffy friend is one of the most exciting things that can happen in your life. That’s a moment you get a new best friend and someone always ready to play and cuddle. However, it’s also something we shouldn’t only consider as a fun activity. And we need to be aware it’s an obligation.
We can call it a fun obligation. Let’s say that you already gathered all the gear you need, found a vet you’ll have on the speed dial, prepared yourself for litter training, and found potential cat sitters. And now there’s only one thing left. However, it’s almost as important as the things you’ve already prepared.
And that’s naming your cat. Worshipping your four-legged fluffball is like a part-time job. So, it’s not difficult to understand how special they are. That being said, we can conclude that your new cat requires a unique, beautiful name. And what’s a better choice than choosing one of the Greek cat names?
With all the history, mythology, and rich culture, Greek names are one of the best options for you, if not the best one. Don’t be afraid if you don’t know any; that’s what I’m here for. I prepared more than 380 Greek cat names that you can choose from. I’m sure you’ll find the one that fits your cat perfectly.

Tips on how to choose the best cat name
You just had a chance to read more than 380 examples of Greek cat names that I’ve prepared for you. But reading them is just the beginning. Now you need to pick your favorite one, but I know that it’s not an easy job. We usually like more of them and it’s difficult to choose only one, so here are my tips for you.
Remember that the name you choose will stick with the two of you for more than 15 years! Don’t rush, it’s not mandatory to give your new pet a name as soon as you place them in their first bed. You can take a few days, or even weeks if you feel like you need it.
Some people wait and it’s for a good reason. Waiting allows you to get to know your fluffy buddy more and some of their personality traits might be helpful when choosing the right name. For example, there are probably better names for a calm, quiet cat than Athena (the Goddess of war).
You can also consider the names of other pets in your household (if you have any) and choose something that fits well with them. My advice for you is to pick something that doesn’t sound too similar, like Nike and Nico. It might confuse them.
And the last thing that can help you choose the perfect name is to keep in mind your cat’s appearance. There’s always something unique about them that can help you make the right decision.
Now you have everything you need to know in one place and I’m sure you won’t make a mistake. Choose something that you love pronouncing because you will use it quite often, especially when your kitty is still learning things. Enjoy the beautiful moments with your new cat!
