How to Find a Unique Name for Your Cat

So you want that name that no one else has for your cat? How do you choose it? Here are a few things to think about in the process of finding that perfect name for your cat.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. You can find names that are from an origin, such as Latin or Greek names or maybe Polish or Hebrew names.

2. You can find them by meaning - such as Tom means twin, or Carma means garden.

3. A good place to get some names is from cartoon characters. Such as Pebbles or Bam-Bam - from the Flintstones cartoons. Bambi or Flower from the animated movie “Bambi.” Mickey or Minnie from “Mickey Mouse.”

4. Maybe your favorite movie is E.T. so name your cat Elliot. A Persian could be called Smush or Smash because of its smashed-in nose, or maybe Nosy.

5. If you think your cat bosses you around you might call him Prince or King or Boss. If he purrs loudly, you might think about music so call him Elvis or Buddy. If he’s small you could call him Logan which means small.

6. A pretty cat you could name Jolie or Bonita, if it's a girl. Maybe your favorite sweets are cookies, so name your cat Cookie. If your cat is sly and sneaks around a lot, you might name her Foxie. You love tennis and your favorite star is one of the Williams sisters, how about Venus for a name?

Tips & Warnings

• Which ever name is for you, there is one rule you should try to stick to, and that is you should choose something with one or two syllables at most for the name you pick.
• Use the name often and your cat will come to know it very soon.
