More Cute Cat Names
What cat wouldn’t want to be named for a princess’s sister like Pippa or a Golden Girl like Blanche? Or you can go retro and choose a name with a built-in theme song like Mr. Roboto. A trendy name can act as a time capsule, too. “Remember the first time we watched Kiki’s Delivery Service and we just KNEW we’d name a cat Kiki one day?”

Cute is in the eye of the beholder. While my sister thinks Trevor is the cutest name around, I’d prefer Dandelion or Snap Dragon. When you find a name that makes you smile and captures that special something about your cat, add it to your list.
You can always count on friends and coworkers to have opinions, so ask around. Maybe your cat can even help you choose. Write down some name options and tape them along a string. Which name does she pounce on first?
Your cat’s name is a special expression of your personality and your affection for your pet. So, go with your heart, and most of all. Have fun!
