Examples Of Kitten Names And Meanings

One of the first decisions that an owner of a kitten must make is what to name the kitten. Some kitten owners thoroughly enjoy selecting a name for their kitten while other kitten owners may feel somewhat anxious over choosing a kitten name.

The kitten will have this name for its entire life, so the cat owner will want to be comfortable with the chosen name. The kitten owner may want to browse one of the lists of kitten names and meanings available on many websites for ideas.

The characteristics of the kitten often provide inspiration for a name. Many kitten names refer to the color of the cat's fur. Examples of names for black cats include Shadow, Charcoal, and Ebony. Many white cats may be named Snow or names related to snow such as Snowball.

Sometimes, the cat's fur color is used in a more abstract way to create a name. Purity is associated with the color white, so this could be a good name for a white kitten. Black cats may be named Goth, Vampira, Wizard, Styx, or Hades.

Kitten owners may want to consider naming the kitten a name that has the same origin as the cat's breed. Internet databases of cat names include names of different origins such as a Persian name for a Persian cat or Japanese names for Siamese or Oriental cat breeds.

Many kitten owners consider the kitten's personality when deciding on a name. A boisterous kitten may be named for this quality just as a shy kitten may be named for this quality.

Some common kitten names are the names of cats in comics, cartoons, and literature. Felix, the name of a legendary black cartoon cat, is a common cat name for black cats. When Disney's Lion King was popular, Simba was a common kitten name.

If the kitten owner has a favorite historical figure or author, the kitten owner may want to consider naming the cat after them. Amadeus, Beethoven, and Dante are some common pet names that are borrowed from historical figures. Since the kitten owner already has positive feelings about the names of favorite historical figures, the kitten owner is likely to continue to like this name choice.

The kitten owner should not feel rushed to immediately decide on a name. It may be wise to take a few days and observe the kitten's personality as well as consider a few alternatives during this time.
