Cat Names
Cats tend to ignore names they find beneath them, which makes choosing one a small act of diplomacy. The names that seem to land best are two syllables, end on a bright vowel, and carry some kind of edge — literary, mythological, or just a little strange. Use the Male or Female filter at the top if you already know what you're working with.
Every name here comes with a short note on its character. A name like Luna has been popular for decades; others, like Ptolemy or Sable, are rarer and might suit a cat who acts like they know it.
