How to name a black cat for a boy and a girl: the coolest names for 2022


The black cat has long been surrounded by an aura of mystery. The anthracite fur and twinkling emerald or amber eyes are mesmerizing. Folklore tradition always gives the black cat a somewhat ominous reputation: he is either a companion of evil spirits, or he himself is the embodiment of Darkness. In Rus' they were feared, considered an integral attribute of a sorcerer or witch, and they were destroyed mercilessly. Until now, many people, when they meet, chase a black cat away from the road, fearing impending troubles. And the breed does not matter; the superstitious are frightened by the dramatic color.

Although, for example, the Scots believe that a black cat entering a house will certainly bring wealth, and its owner will be besieged by admirers.

People, far from prejudices, open their arms wide and drag a new family member into the house.

And you must definitely choose a name for your pet that will best reflect all facets of his Personality!

Well, doesn't this handsome man deserve the best name?

  • The name should be easy to pronounce and consist of 2-3 syllables. There is no need to give cats names that are difficult for the owner to pronounce or difficult for the animal to remember.
  • It is necessary to choose a euphonious nickname so that the kitten’s owners do not have to blush while loudly calling the animal by name.
  • In order for the baby to perceive his name well, it must contain hissing and whistling sounds.
  • Take into account the color of the coat, eyes, character traits (playfulness, equanimity, laziness) and the gender of the kitten.
  • The name must correspond to the baby’s breed, so as not to give him a nickname that is characteristic only of a certain breed of cat, for example, Scottish.
  • Choose a universal nickname that suits your pet at any age.

The ideal names chosen for four-legged babies should please both them and their owners.
