Cat names

I’m one of those girls who has always preferred cats over dogs (sorry dog people and dogs, I still love you too!)

Here’s my list of baby names associated with cats… Any other suggestions?

[name_f]Callie[/name_f] - This is actually my cat’s name (my niece named her) and it’s supposed to be short for Calico :rofl:
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] / [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] (along with all the other ways to spell them) with the nn [name_f]Cat[/name_f] / [name_f]Kat[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f] - A demon often depicted as a cat (I actually read about this name in a cat book, that’s when I fell in love with it :heart_eyes:)
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] with the nn [name_f]Tabby[/name_f]

PS - This is my second post in one night :rofl: Sorry, I’m just doing a lot of brainstorming atm!

EDIT - Sorry for not being clear (I really should have waited til morning to post this, rather than the middle of the night :rofl:) I’m looking for female baby names to honor my love of cats!!

I like [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] because it sounds deliciously witchy! [name_f]Tabby[/name_f] as a nickname is perfect. [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] is a lot of fun too, though :dizzy: I would also suggest [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Theodora[/name_f], and [name_f]Luna[/name_f]:) Cats are the best and I’m so happy for you!

But I will add that I love cats and dogs equally! I would happily live with cats and dogs in a vine-shrouded cottage deep in a forest :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Tabitha is great

Tabitha and [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] are both gorgeous in different ways.

I like [name_f]Katia[/name_f] for a cat, though I do have a fur-baby, and her name is [name_f]Peaches[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f].

@Genevieve101 @12queen - Sorry for the confusion! I meant a female baby name to honor my love of cats :rofl: Not currently pregnant, but will TTC in a few months! I’ll update my original post - Thank you for your input!

Oooo I love this! Such a great idea. I love cats, too. I have an 11 year old orange tabby named [name_u]Billie[/name_u].

My first instincts:

Felicity (sounds kinda like feline)
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] or [name_f]Leona[/name_f] (Meaning [name_m]Lion[/name_m])
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_f]Felicia[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Selima[/name_f]
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f] (nickname Sassy)

Names of cats in movies, or famous cats in general (including lions)

Cassandra (from the Cats musical)
[name_u]Marie[/name_u] (Aristocats)
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] ([name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and Company)
[name_u]Salem[/name_u]
Zunar
[name_f]Kitty[/name_f]
Jiji
[name_f]Azzie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_u]Frankie[/name_u]
[name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]
Kedi
[name_f]Nala[/name_f]

Names that remind me of cats:

Luna
[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] ([name_f]Cat[/name_f]’s don’t dance)
[name_f]Sabrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Faline[/name_f] (means catlike)
[name_f]Kisa[/name_f] (Russian for [name_f]Kitty[/name_f])
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] / [name_f]Freyja[/name_f] (In Norse mythology has a chariot pulled by cats)

Also I know this is looking for girls names, but I named my cat [name_m]Casper[/name_m] which i realized after sounds a lot like [name_f]Cat[/name_f]’s Purr

Hi there.

My little kitty is [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] nn [name_u]Ari[/name_u]. He’s a boy, even though I know [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] is generally feminine. It’s used for boys too, & I liked the sound of it for a boy. Anyway, I named him that because [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] is the Olympian goddess of hunting and the moon. That seemed very cat, don’t you think? And then [name_u]Ari[/name_u] means ‘lion’ in Hebrew, which made sense as his nn. He’s a very sweet little [name_u]Ari[/name_u]. :heart_eyes_cat: :heart_eyes_cat:
