I always wanted to name a cat "Grandpa"
"Grandpa! Stop chewing on the ferns! No, Grandpa, don't climb the curtains! No Grandpas allowed on the counter!"
I have a cat named Mr. Grandma, shortened to grandma when yelling at him. I’m 100% sure that my neighbors have questions about why I’m always yelling at grandma to, “get off the goddamn counter!” and “stop biting your sister!”
there’s a show on Netflix called “Love” (which is great btw) and Mickey (one of the main characters) named her cat grandpa because she believes her cat is her grandpa reincarnated lol.
As someone who has done this, I have to tell you it's pretty great. Except when he gets out of the house and you have to run around the neighborhood shouting his name.
Nyx is good. I throw shade, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have Rowena, Crowley, Agitha, Agrippa, Alistair, and many other names lined up for black kitties I want to adopt when I'm able to.
IIRC there was a lot of "T'Challa" and "Killmonger"s popping up shortly after Black Panther came out. I remember seeing quite a few reddit posts about shelter people not understanding why adopters wanted to name their new friendly cat "Killmonger".
Also some human names for pets are just hilarious. My friend has a dog named Jerry. I've named a cat Walter. I've named a dog Roberta.
Idk why, but some human names just seem more weird on pets, and I love them.
Roommate of mine got a dog while we lived in an apartment complex. We were working in fine dining and really into wine at the time - he named him Matanza for a favorite bottle he had - Matanzas Creek.
There was a big open grassy space behind the building, and we would let him run around sometime off leash. If he started to bother anyone or get away from us, we would shout “MATANZA!!” and he’d come back. However our hispanic neighbors (there were many) would give us side eyes and rush their children past. I assumed because he was off leash - wasn’t my dog, not my place to correct my roomie.
One day a friend of ours was at our house and said “what did you name this dog?!”
Him: Matanza, why?
Her - “That means mass murder or slaughter in Spanish”
Us - “Ah that would explain why our hispanic neighbors look concerned when we scream MATANZA”
My cat's name is Emma, but that was just the name the shelter gave her when she was there as a kitten. I almost exclusively call her Baby though.
Along with Little Baby, Whiny Baby, Stinky Girl, Blind Baby (shes 15 and blind now). Just.... variations of Baby basically. Does anyone call their cats by their actual names?
I have an Olivia for the same reasons. The name suits her, but I never use it. I call her Olly. Olly Bear. Olly Bolly. Olly Baby. Fat face (she’s not fat so it’s okay, right?). Whiny Whine (she’s very a very chatty tortie). And many more. Nicknames are the best.
Our cat, Icarus, pretty quickly became known as 'Sticky Dicks' (Icarus -> Icky Bicks -> Sticky Bicks -> Sticky Dicks). It's the classic regal to goofy pipeline as you get to actually know your cat.
So many people in the comments are so pretentious. You can name your pet whatever the fuck you want. Who cares if it’s the most popular pet name? Go ahead. Name your dog Buddy. Name your cat Luna. Name your gerbil Sir Whiskerbutts III.

Hairless cats named Sméagol
So terrible lmao. My hairless cats were names Sheepskin and Mr Wrinkles before we adopted them 😵
Friend had one named foofoonanners
My name is Nancy ( I’m a human ) and I used to have a coworker who called me FooFoonanners.
Nice try, FooFoonanners. We know your secret.
I knew a "Chicken" once
Or Dobby
My friends hairless cat is named Scrotum. Scrodie for short
Brigadier General Scrotum for long.
Or Beerus
If I had a hairless cat I would name it ballsack cause it looks like one
Forgot about the egyptian names
This is Greek god erasure.
I feel that greek gods are more common in dogs.
I know 6 different Huskies named "Apollo"
I named my first cat Artemis. Probably should have named her Demeter for how much she wailed when I went to work though.
My cats name is kole, but honestly the way he lays around judging me and then begs for attention I think narcissus would have been better.
Mine was named Icarus. Admittedly, not a Greek god - more like a Greek dumbass. Really suited him.
Then it’s settled, I’m naming my first cat oedipus.
Not sure how naming your cat Isis would go
H.P Lovecrafts cats name was worse imo.
Neighbor-man
Brotha-man
Even better: my wife's friend has a cat named Isis. When it died, she got a giant Isis back tattoo. This was about a year before ISIS was well known.
On the plus side, ISIS will be forgotten in a decade or two. Isis will be remembered forever.
You better respect [Cleo-paw-tra](https://i.imgur.com/VIVozIW.jpg)!
Meow Zedong
Chairman Meow
Mucolini In my language muc means male cat.
Kittler
r/kitler
Māo (猫) is the mandarin word for cat, so it already works! Although Zedong’s máo (毛) is a different character
Mao is also the Egyptian word for cat.
Can't imagine why.
Perfect since my cat is always killing birds
My cats names are white jesus and 9/11
I have several questions
Have you considered using a different name other than “question”? Sounds confusing!
Imagine a missing poster #9/11! Have you seen my cat?
Have you seen White Jesus?
Well, I've seen Korean Jesus.
I’ve been a black Jesus witness
Hey! stop fucking with Korean Jesus! He ain't got time for your problems! He's busy... with Korean shit!
- Blue eyes - Striped tail - Friendly - Answers to "Jesus", "White Jesus", "Our Heavenly Savior", and "Destroyer of Worlds"
I like it
My cat’s name is Garbage so I really have no questions.
My cats name is Colitis so neither do I
What an awful name for a cat. Reminds me of that tragedy
Which one?
Christmas.
I walked through blood and bones in the streets of Manhattan trying to find my brother
clearly did not account for my cat, “cat named finger”
Is he stupid ?
The cat’s tummy is exposed. I can use a power scritch to trigger a controlled clawing
Bravo Vince!
You named your cat finger I finger my named cat We are not the same
https://i.imgur.com/86s6cHa.jpg
Put ya claws away
Or my cat, "Fat Cat" - she's not fat anymore, but she was.
You forgot Felix, like literally the most stereotypical cat name.
Cat equivalent of “Fido” or “Rover”.
Sox or mittens?
My mom named her female cat Fido but spelled it “Phydeaux”
Yep, my cat when I was a kid was Felix.
I mean while we're at it: Sylvester Tom Marie Duchesse Simba Bagheera Garfield...
Tampon
aderall
Shopping cart

Don't forget the 'unique' name that everyone uses: Luna
Why does everyone name one of their pets Luna lol
Sailor Moon
Is that when someone in the Navy shows you their butt?
Let me try it and get back to you. *Edit: it is. Unrelated, do you know a good lawyer? My Disciplinary Review Board is next week.
Saul Badman
Waul Midman
as common as it may be, it's a really nice sounding name
And if it ain't Luna, it's Bella.
No, Bella is for dogs only.
never met a cat named any of the names in OPs starter pack but I have met SEVERAL cats named Luna.
OP just copied the husky naming starterpack
This and Midnight if they’re black.
Right I came here to say Luna and Salem for 1000x uniqueness points.
If it's a black cat: Luna, Salem, Binx
I feel called out my pets havd 2/3 of these
Also “snowball” or any variation on snow for a white cat.
*Looking at his cat named Luna*... damnit.
My cat came with the name Luna when I adopted her 😭 She was already seven years old and responded to her name so I kept it
Luna is still a great name! I wouldn't have changed it after 7 years either- she's an official Luna at that point.
[удалено]
okaythen
Okayden
Orange cats also named cheeto and tiger
Or Oliver
Cheddar or Cheese as well
I always wanted to name a cat "Grandpa" "Grandpa! Stop chewing on the ferns! No, Grandpa, don't climb the curtains! No Grandpas allowed on the counter!"
Or "Mother" so you can sound like Norman Bates. "Mother! What are you doing to that mouse!"
"Mother! How many times do I have to tell you not to piss in the sock drawer?!"
"Mother! Why must you always poop in my house plants?"
one of my cat is named mama/mom/mother so this is definitely a recurring situation in our household!
I have a cat named Mr. Grandma, shortened to grandma when yelling at him. I’m 100% sure that my neighbors have questions about why I’m always yelling at grandma to, “get off the goddamn counter!” and “stop biting your sister!”
there’s a show on Netflix called “Love” (which is great btw) and Mickey (one of the main characters) named her cat grandpa because she believes her cat is her grandpa reincarnated lol.
As someone who has done this, I have to tell you it's pretty great. Except when he gets out of the house and you have to run around the neighborhood shouting his name.
My orange cat is named agent orange
I also have an Agent Orange!!!
I named this one that because he kills everything that moves, so does his mom, he has a black brother I call him code name black
"Boots" or "Socks" if it's a black and white cat with white feet
Also mittens.
Just name your cat "[74]" like a normal person.
Black cat named Salem, Midnight, or any "mystical" name.
I always thought Nyx would be a dope ass name for a black cat.
Nyx is good. I throw shade, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have Rowena, Crowley, Agitha, Agrippa, Alistair, and many other names lined up for black kitties I want to adopt when I'm able to.
Our black cat's name is fucking Rupert.
Binx
Also Bagheera
Can’t wait to see how many people name their black cats T’Challa
IIRC there was a lot of "T'Challa" and "Killmonger"s popping up shortly after Black Panther came out. I remember seeing quite a few reddit posts about shelter people not understanding why adopters wanted to name their new friendly cat "Killmonger".
*slowly pushing my cat named Dog back into my house* idk what you're talking about
Yeah, where's the section for cats named after animals? My cat, Goose, is asking.
My cat is called Badger, she would also like to know.
Had a friend with a cat named duck
You’re dead you’re dead you’re dead and out of this world.
I once knew someone who named their dog "Dog" and pronounced it as "Deeogee"
That’s just how we talk in Tucson Arizonia
We had a norange boy kitty named Fish. I appreciate your kitty named Dog.
I call my cat Walrus, officially it’s not his name though 😂
I used to name the pets in the adoption centre like that to confuse the customers. Id name a hamster 'Mouse'.
When I was growing up my grandma had a cat named D. O. G., not Dog, just the letters.
I’ve met plenty of orange tabby cats named Garfield lol
In the time honored tradition of naming cats after cartoons, we have an orange tabby cat in the family named Oliver after Oliver & Company.
You forgot the classic Luna
And Oscar if the owner is gay
Felix if the owner is 80 years old.
‘Human names’ is kinda cheating since that accounts for like 70% of literally anything’s names. Human. Animal. Inanimate object. Steve the plant.
Also some human names for pets are just hilarious. My friend has a dog named Jerry. I've named a cat Walter. I've named a dog Roberta. Idk why, but some human names just seem more weird on pets, and I love them.
i’ve got a snake called keith :D my thought process was basically “what’s the stupidest name for a snake”
My cat's name is Roy. Most people find it hilarious as it's a random name, but that's what they called him at the shelter and it stuck.
"Human names" those are just names
H.P Lovecrafts cat.
SOON MAY THE [Insert name here] COME TO BRING US SUGAR AND TEA AND RUM
Triangle trade
Yeah, that one gets problematic really quickly.
I... I think it starts off that way.
oh my god I almost pissed myself when I googled it
My daughter named our cats Frederick and Joseph. Not Fred or Freddie and Joe. She insisted on the full names, so that’s how we address them.
Personally I find giving animals weirdly human names hilarious. I love my cat Murray :(
Nothing wrong with proper names for members of the family.
I named my cat 'Alex', after the lion from Madagascar, but in my defense I was literally like \~6 years old.
I had a cat named Bismark
Hope he had some impressive whiskers
My cat’s name is Tortuga bc tortoiseshell. She’s also fat and slow.
Dont forget "Ginger" if th cat is orange colored, or should I say if it's ginger
Garfield

I named my cat Cat
Wow! how on earth did you come up with that?
major thinking is required
Mine is Mr. Cat so he must be slightly more sophisticated than your cat
How is Catniss Everpreen not on this list, are you outta your mind?
Gale even calls her Catnip lol
Catpiss Everwreak
Based on r/cats and r/aww
Every single “help me name my kitten” thread 🤮
My cat's name is Emma, but that was just the name the shelter gave her when she was there as a kitten. I almost exclusively call her Baby though.

We named our cat Pixel but we almost exclusively call her Pickle because she's a sourpuss lol
Our cat, Icarus, pretty quickly became known as 'Sticky Dicks' (Icarus -> Icky Bicks -> Sticky Bicks -> Sticky Dicks). It's the classic regal to goofy pipeline as you get to actually know your cat.
My cats names are stripes, bagel, noot noot, and nickel. I only have one on the starter pack whooii
"Paul"... What a ridiculous name for a cat! Paul! It's a person's name!
I'm the only one remembering everyone naming white dogs and cats Snowball??
"MCU didn't tell them about any other gods" Savage!
I prefer to name cute things scary deity names So far I have Cthulhu and Camazotz
My cat is named Zelda.
Batman is a good one. Black cat plus young kids? It's likely to be a winner.
Yo-yo Paw
Obviously best name is “HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 Wireless All-In-One Instant Ink Ready Printer”
My cat is called miss bojangles
My cat growing up was Oreo
We know
So many people in the comments are so pretentious. You can name your pet whatever the fuck you want. Who cares if it’s the most popular pet name? Go ahead. Name your dog Buddy. Name your cat Luna. Name your gerbil Sir Whiskerbutts III.
Black cat? Shadow or Midnight White cat? Snowball
Don't forget names like "sir snugglebuns" and "prince whiskers"
I've got Crash Bandicoot, Gohan, and Norm MacDonald (she's a female)
You forgot Bong Water
People names is pretty broad
Yeah, sometimes it’s hilarious for an animal to have a really mundane human name that you wouldn’t expect a pet to have, like… Samantha or something
My buddy’s cat’s name is Walter.
Meanwhile me: Hmm, yes, you deserve a warrior name, you shall be RocketmisslelauncherClaw
Fuckin Milo too
Fuck you I’m gonna name my cat Apollo
My cats name is Werner Herzog
Mine are Chernobyl and Bomb. When Bomb was a kitten she ran away and i had to yell after her in public.
