Depends, we're trying to get a list of names together for when we get strays in or in the odd case we need to rename the cats as they come into care as the names could put people off- most recently itchy and scratchy who to anyone who isn't a simpsons fan, may have sounded like fleabags! Nice, endeering names gratefully received and added to our list!

Panther (if he is black of course)
mine are both boys but we thought Floss was a girl until the vet told us otherwise but i didn;t want to change his name so i am probably not the best person to ask!

actually i am really into the chocolate from Aldi Moser Roth at the moment...so i suppose Moser & Roth i would probably use if i had to rename them

Thanks guys- nice to have a collection ready. Often a name springs to mind but it's good to know which ones are appealing because for some cats, the name can make all the difference.
Title: Re: Good names for male cats?
Post by: Kay and Penny on May 21, 2009, 22:22:22 PM
I read somewhere that cats like a sss sound - and so if possible it should be part of their name

is that accepted wisdom?

i have had Ginger, Dixie, George, Sonny Jim, Casper, Tabby, Cefur (they did think he was a girl though), Frankie, Tom, Benjy, Pumpkin, Finn, Patches, Chi, Felix, Rolo, Shabba, Oscar, Charlie, Harry, Hobo, Sam, Norman, Valentino, Bruno, Mr T - I am sure I have missed some off there, but it is hard remembering over 80 names offhand and I do have more females than males. I like the name Oliver too, and Jasper, they are on my list

There are loads of male cat names (http://www.lovingyourpet.co.uk/pet-names/cat-names/male-cat-names.php) to choose from on the Loving Your Pet website.  Have found this website very useful recently when naming 3 of my kittens!

I like the name Monty too although the company I work for is affectionately called Montys so I'm not sure I could live with one too :evillaugh:

I like Oliver (Ollie), Harvey, Pepsi, Shadow, Jasper, Bailey, Lewis.... the list could probably go on forever.
