If you’re stumped right now, never fear. There are actually loads of names out there that you might like. First of all, you need to consider what names suit your kitty and what type of personality they have. Here are just 10 of the most popular names to give you a little inspiration.

Simba

Made popular by the Lion King, the name Simba is seriously popular for male cats. If you have a light-haired or ginger cat, this may be the perfect one for him!

Misty

Girl cats tend to have sweet, sassy names. Misty is the perfect example of just that. If you have a tray female kitty, you might want to give this name a whirl.

Max

Is there a more masculine name than Max on the planet? Well, probably not. If you have a large male cat, this name could well work for them. Think about it!

Ginger

Of course, if your kitty is ginger, you may want to take a ‘say what you see’ approach to naming them. Ginger is a popular name for both males and females.

Mittens

Mittens is an excellent name (not least because it rhymes with kittens!). If you’re looking for a cute name for your new cat, you might just have found it.

Oscar

So many people choose to call their male cat Oscar and we can totally see why. This is an adorable name that most people would love. What’s more, it might just suit your cat!

Kitty

Since you will probably end up shouting ‘Kitty’ all the time anyway, it may be a good idea to call your cat this name. After all, cat names don’t have to be complicated. Sometimes the simplest ones work best.

Harry

Without a doubt, one of the best names for male cats has to be Harry. This regal sounding name is ideal for pretty much any type of male cat that you may have.
