When a small fluffy animal appears in a house or apartment, immediately after arranging the cat’s life, the new owners have a question: how to choose the right name for the pet?
Young esthete Sylvester
First of all, you should remember that after a short period of time, a small ball of wool will turn into an adult graceful animal and its name should correspond to it.
Charming Lolita
Words borrowed from the English language, beautiful and euphonious, are perfect for choosing a nickname. You can use male and female names, modern and ancient, as well as geographical names, names of objects and utensils, names and nicknames of characters in literature and films.
Homebody Henry
When choosing a nickname, you need to consider the following factors:
- The nickname should be easy to remember and pronounced not only by the owner, but also by members of his family. Agree – it will be difficult for a small child to remember an elaborate name.
- The name for the animal should not be long; two or three syllables are enough. This will make it easier for the kitten to remember its name and learn to respond to it. As a last resort, a long name can always be shortened to a diminutive.

I hope in this list you will find a way to name a British cat and choose the best name for your lover, which will ideally suit his character and temperament. Most rulers are clear about what to call the British cat, but if there is still no name for the cat, don’t worry about your cat losing its name.
I can say with good knowledge that all the names for cochinets are given as unintelligible, and it may take an hour for both you and the British cat to call out that name. In two months, you won’t even imagine that your cat could be called anything else.
And now, as I have decided for the purpose, I encourage you to marvel at the options for calling a British boy’s cat the English language. These names for cats will also be indispensable when you buy a cat with documents, and you will need to come up with names for the cat in English, obviously before you can complete the paperwork.

Unusual Japanese cat names with translation
Recently, Japanese nicknames have been gaining popularity - with translation, such names sound original.
If the pet owner is fully aware of the meaning of the name, then you can safely choose the appropriate option.
A characteristic feature of the Japanese language is the presence of short words, which has led to the demand for nicknames.
Unusual options include:
- Yuki – translated means “snowy”, so it is well suited for white kittens.
- Akira - will be optimal for Abyssinian cats, because in translation it sounds like “bright, fiery.”
- Kameko - “long-lived” is suitable for any kitten, sounds beautiful and original.
- Masuru means “victory” and would be the optimal nickname for a red sun cat.
- Amayo – “rainy night”, a good nickname for a gray cat or cat.
- Kyoko - "happy child" will be better for a calico cat as they bring happiness to the home.
- Mimi - translated as “ears”, would be a good nickname for the sphinx, due to the characteristic structure of the muzzle.
- Nanashi - if the kitten was found, then you can give it a nickname that means “nameless.”
In addition to Japanese variants, there are popular Korean nicknames, such as Sora, Mori or Haru, which translate to “sky”, “grove” and “spring”.
Important! If you are not sure about the translation of the chosen nickname, it is better to give preference to another, more informed option.
Names with meaning add additional meaning and change the course of a cat’s life, because a nickname can influence character in the same way that a name can influence a person.

Interesting Facts
- Red-haired people make up only 2% of the entire planet. This is approximately 20 thousand people. Of course, this number includes people who were born with red hair, and who did not have their hair chemically dyed.
- A larger percentage of red-haired people live in Scotland and Ireland. In Russia, the largest number of them is concentrated in the Udmurt Republic.
- Red-haired girls are often called vampires because of their complex and unbridled nature. Perhaps these are echoes of medieval prejudices.
- In the same connection, two phenomena arose in psychology: gingerism and gingerophobia. The first includes a prejudiced attitude towards “sunny” people, their intimidation and discrimination. The second phenomenon is the other side of the moment, the fear of redheads.
- Scientists suggest that in a century and a half the gene for red-haired people will disappear. Although this idea is quite controversial, and only time can confirm it.

Names in the UK: trends and statistics
Today, trends are changing again, and many are naming children with names that often come from other languages or are associated with saints. In the 19th century, many pleasant-to-hear names appeared, for example April, Amber, Daisy and others. All those who wanted something unusual began to borrow names from the Spaniards, Italians and French. This is how Michelle (Michelle), Angela (Angela) and others spread.
Every year, the UK Bureau of Statistics publishes the most popular names most often used by parents. Thus, the most frequently used names in 2013 were Amelia and Oliver. It is noteworthy that the names of the royal family always have an impact on society, so William, Harry, George, Elizabeth never go out of fashion.
