Is it Weird to Give Your Cat a Middle Name?

General Name Discussion

I have a three year old tortoiseshell cat named [name_f]Ember[/name_f], whom I adopted in [name_f]September[/name_f] 2020. She is sweet but sassy. Is it weird to give a cat a middle name? I was thinking:
[name_f]Ember[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f]
[name_f]Ember[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]

It’s absolutely normal :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Both are lovely :sparkles:

Both names are so lovely!!

I think it’s perfectly fine. [name_f]My[/name_f] dog is [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and she has a middle name, [name_f]Lucy[/name_f].

Go for it, im a big fan of going all out for pet names. I like the flow of [name_f]Ember[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] a little better but really like the vibes of [name_f]Ember[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f].

[name_f]My[/name_f] cat is [name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_m]Equinox[/name_m] technically, but we never use the [name_m]Equinox[/name_m]. I think middle names for pets are fun!

Not at all! [name_f]My[/name_f] cats have 5 names each because… who’s really going to know :sweat_smile: I want to customize them on a blanket or portrait or something fun, but otherwise, we only announce 1 name at the vet ofc :joy::purple_heart:

Unofficially my cat’s name is [name_m]Rudolph[/name_m] O’Malley, because we all loved [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] O’Malley from the Aristocats and wanted to include it. I don’t think it’s weird, I’d say pet names are an opportunity to go wild!

He often gets called [name_m]Jack[/name_m] Dirt or [name_m]Jack[/name_m] Potato as well. lol Oh and Jack-a-Whack.)

We also have a tortoise named Oogway and a hog named [name_f]Gracie[/name_f] and lots of chickens, but they don’t all have names. Mainly just the roosters. There’s Feathers, [name_m]Stanley[/name_m] and Hei Hei. A couple of the hens are [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Darlene[/name_f], and [name_f]Shadow[/name_f]. None of them have middles though.
