When a new furry friend joins your household, you’re met with the exciting task of giving them a name. You can let your imagination run wild and nothing is off-limits! Well, almost nothing. Keep in mind that you’ll be saying and hearing this name often, so it’s important to choose a name that really resonates with you and fits your pet.
If you’re interested in an elegant, historical name, the letter E is a good starting place with names like Elizabeth and Edward. There are also a number of fun characters whose names begin with E, like Eeyore, Elmo, and Elsa. Feeling peckish? Perhaps Eclair, Emmental, or Enchilada is perfect for your pet.
We often lovingly call cats by an abbreviated version of their name on a day-to-day basis, so you can also factor that in when choosing a name. If you love the name Eve, you can have fun with their full name by choosing something like Evelyn, Evita, or even Everest. Into the name Elysia? You can call her Ely or Sia for short. The possibilities are endless!
We’ve rounded up an array of cat names that start with the letter E, ranging from more traditional names to some of the wildest ones around. Check out our lists below and see if you can find “the one.”
