You have all you need to name your cat. Their personality and appearance are no mystery to you. So, all you need to do is make the match. It sounds simple in theory, but it’s really challenging sometimes. So, here are some ideas to help you make up your mind.
Draw Out of a Hat
Make it easy on yourself and leave it up to chance. You can put all the names you like in a hat—in an actual hat or a virtual site online. This way, it takes out the hassle because it’s randomized.
Choose from a Character or Figure
There is plenty of royal blood from the real world to the cinema. If you want to name your cat a regal name, think about options from a favorite movie or world country.
You can probably drum up quite a few, but we have you covered in the section below.
Take a Poll On Social Media
Social media can be handy if you find some fantastic options but want a second opinion. You can set up a poll on sites like Facebook, giving friends a list of options to select from. Each person can vote, and you can view which name has the highest count. It’s quick and easy—plus, it’s a fun way to get your friends involved with your new pet.
Then, a name often just clicks. You’ll read it or it’ll pop into your head—and there it is.
Regardless of how easy it is to name your cat, you’ll want to brush up on options. Without further ado, we give you the fanciest royal and regal cat names we could find.
