“B” Cat Name Trends
Cat names are increasingly inspired by popular human names, just like dog names around the country. Gentlemanly names for kittens are on the rise, like Beau and Bennett, along with vintage names for girl cats like Beatrice and Belle.
Pop culture names were also big for cats this year, with Bernie, Bagheera, and Bowie all making the top 100 “B” cat names. Tasty snacks are another yummy influence for “B” names for kittens and new cats, including Bagel, Banana, and Berry.
Finally, don’t forget Butter for cats, because it’s still a favorites among cat owners. We’re thinking its due to a cat’s coat color: from calico to orange tabby to yellow-gold, plenty of cats sport a warm color that seems to remind their people of butter.
