How to come up with a name for a cat?

Have you decided to get a cat or even already brought one home? It's time to think about a name. There are some tips on how to choose a name for a cat. You don't have to follow them, but it's worth learning about them:

It is believed that cats respond best to hissing and whistling sounds, especially “k” and “s”. It’s not for nothing that we call them “kitty-kitty.” There is also an opinion that cats only hear the first three sounds clearly, so the name should be short. If you choose a short name with a hissing sound, the cat will get used to it faster. Nevertheless, practice shows that cats get used to a variety of nicknames, including long ones.
Do not forget about euphony, call the animal with obscene and unpleasant names, names that are consonant with swear words. After all, it may happen that you have to walk down the street shouting this nickname loudly.
Be careful with human names. Not every friend will understand if a cat is named after him. Yes, and people with that name may appear in your environment.
Choose a nickname for the whole family. Each family member will have to say this word several times a day, so it is not advisable for anyone to have negative associations. Try to come to an agreement; there are often cases when different people call an animal differently. It is better to accustom the kitten to one name.
The nickname you choose should be pleasant to you and easy to pronounce. If you choose a long name, say it several times. Do you pronounce it easily, without stuttering?
