Welcome to the Cute Kitten Names lens!

 

Bringing home a new kitten (or more than one!) is always a happy event, and many people know what they want to call their new companion well in advance. However, sometimes it's not so easy to come up with a name, and that's what this lens is for.

Here you'll find some suggestions about where to find inspiration and things to consider when choosing a name for your kitten, as well as links to other sites and resources that might help, so your new kitty won't be nameless for long!

Thing to Consider When Naming Your Kitten 

Some factors to bear in mind...

- What does the name say about you?

- What does the name say about how you see your cat?

- Is the name easy to pronounce?

- Is the name easy for your kitten to learn to recognise?

- Does the name have any special meaning?

- Will you be able to live with the name for the 15 or more years that your cat may live?

- What kind of image or associations does the name evoke?

Sources of Inspiration for Kitten Names 

Fictional Cats
Fictional cats are an obvious source of inspiration, and lots of real cats find themselves named after Garfield, Felix the Cat, Bagpuss et al.

Movies and Popular Culture
Do you have a favourite movie character, song, actor etc? This area can be a rich source of inspiration.

Mythology & History
Those interested in ancient myths and historical events might like to name their kitty after favourite people or mythical heros and other creatures. Such names can be unusual and attention-grabbing.

Human Names
Some people like to give their pets human names. Slightly old-fashioned names like Arthur and George seem to be popular.

Different Languages and Cultures
Maybe you have a particular cultural background you'd like to draw on, or you're just interested in other cultures, or like the sound of a particular language. Such 'foreign' names can also make your kitty stand out from the crowd.

Your Hobbies and Interests
It's not unheard of for people to name their cats after their favourite food or drink, or after a car or some other type of brand name with which they identify.

The Natural World
Pretty names can often be borrowed from other areas of nature, such as the names of flowers and other plants, or of planets and other natural phenomena.
