“C” 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 Casper, Carl, and Cooper, along with vintage names for girl cats like Charlotte and Clementine.
Food names reign big for cat names this year: Cashew, Cocoa, Cheddar, Cinnamon, Coconut, and Chili are all in the top 100 “C” cat names, and those are just some of the culinary cat monikers chosen by cat lovers.
We also see many other sources of cat name inspiration: pop culture, nature, art, and music, to name a few. From Copernicus to Carmen to Camille, cats this year carry some pretty cultured names. Finally, cat owners clearly have a sense of humor when it comes to naming their kitten or new cat. We love punny choices like “Catsby” and “Chairman Meow.”
