Boy Kitten Names

Male Kitten Names by Personality

All kittens are playful, but you can often tell other things about a kitten's personality early on. Using personality traits to name your kitten can be a fun way to create a unique name for him.

Boy Kitten Names Based on History and Literature

A good way to name your kitten is to base his name on a favorite historic figure or character from literature. Boy kitten names like Horatio, Lincoln, or Franklin are great names for your male kitten.

Choosing a Name by Appearance

Choosing a boy kitten name based on his appearance is a great idea, because he will not change that much over the years. If he is black with white spots, he will always be black with white spots. This does not mean that you have to live with average or boring names either. Look for some unusual characteristic on your cat; an unusually shaped spot, a unique color combination, or even eye color. If something about the way your cat looks suggests a name to you that you like, don't be afraid to use it.

Other Ways to Choose Names

There are a number of other ways that people choose names for their cats. Consider:

• Cartoons
• Movies
• Nature
• Sports and sports figures
• Foods
• Songs
• Bands
• Hobbies

Be Sure You Like It

Remember that the name that you give your cat will be his for a lifetime. Cats learn and respond to their names in a short period of time. Changing the name when your kitten is six months old because you have decided that Bouncer is really Diablo will cause him confusion. Give your cat a name that you love, and enjoy calling him by that name for a lifetime.
