I am getting a male kitten that's 4 months old on Saturday. I have yet to figure out a name for him.

Question

He is black and grey and has white paws. I don't want the common name of boots, socks or mittens for him. Others say wait 'til you get him and his personality will tell you what to name him. Any suggestions?? Please Help!

Answer 1

MAYBE

TUX(Y)

JEREMY

KATRIN=SPANISH FOR A WELL DRESSED MAN IN ATUX

Answer 2

I agree - wait until you get to know him.  There's no hurry and you will be more pleased with the name you pick.

Answer 3

Although I agree you should wait to see his personality/behavior, here's a couple of pointers:

1. Think about naming him after a precious stone. (I named both my cats from precious stones... )

2. Look into some names from another culture/language.  That way, it will be unique.

3. Maybe a name that tells a little about his history. For example, a cat that was rescued may be named Lucky, Fortunate, or Blessed. Was he the biggest of his litter? Then maybe he could be name 'Grande', Spanish for 'Large'.

Answer 5

Here are some useful tips in choosing a name for your cat.  

- Choose a name that’s both easy to say and one that you are happy calling out.  

- Pick a name that will grow with the pet.  For example "Kitten" may be less appropriate for a full grown cat.  

- Wait a few days to study your pets behavior.  The personality and appearance of the cat may assist here.  

- Pick a name that the pet can easily recognize.  Animals respond better to one or two syllable names, (especially names ending in a long E sound, like “Gracy“).

- If choosing a long name keep in mind the shortened version.  A long name will inevitably be shortened, but it may ruin the effect that you were originally looking for.  

- The pet’s breed heritage can provide some useful inspiration.  For example: Siamese, Balinese, Korat, and Burmese are Oriental breeds; Don Sphynx and Peterbald are Russian; Abyssinian is Egyptian; Chartreux is French; Bombay is British; Devon Rex is English.

In my opinion, it's more meaningful when you name your pet yourself.  Check out these websites for tons of pet name ideas...  you can search by gender, color, meaning, and first letter of the name.
