The black cat is traditionally considered a mystical animal. But first of all, he is a friend and companion, and only then a character in fairy tales about witches. Therefore, you need to approach the choice of a name for a little black kitten responsibly, without excessive creativity. And the recommendations of felinologists on the selection of nicknames and a list of popular, unusual, beautiful and many other cat names will help with this.
Foreign
You can borrow nicknames from other languages. It is fashionable to name pets with Japanese or Scandinavian names:
- Akira, Astrid, Ayumi;
- Hiccup;
- Loki;
- One;
- Hotaru, Hoshi;
- Suga.
However, the borrowings do not end with Japanese and Scandinavian words. In general, many names familiar to us have foreign roots. You can expand the small list of pet names with names from other countries:
- Alexa;
- Bond;
- Johnny, Jenny;
- Katie, Klaus;
- Santiago, Samantha;
- Schwartz;
- Edward, Erina.
You can simply translate the words “night” or “black” into different languages:
- Black - English, black;
- Kuroi/Kuroi – Japanese, black;
- Nero – Italian, black;
- Not – Italian, night;
- Night - English, night;
- Schwartz – German, black;
- Yuru – Japanese, night.
How to choose a name
When choosing a name for a kitten, there are several important aspects to consider. It should:
- sound beautiful so that the owner does not have to blush when loudly calling the pet by name;
- be easy to pronounce. You shouldn’t give your cat a name that you can’t pronounce later;
- fit a cat at any age.
A cat's hearing system is designed differently from a human's - some sounds are pleasant to the cat's ear, but the cat will simply ignore some sounds. For the baby to like her name, it must contain soft, “russling” sounds. Animal psychologists claim that they are pleasant to the cat at the genetic level, as they affect the centers associated with hunting and food production.
With meaning
If you want to name your cat something beautiful and with a special meaning, you can choose one of the following names:
- If there are two cats in the house, you can name them Hati and Skol. These are mythical characters who chase the moon and the sun.
- Shalem is the name of the god of the evening dawn. This is what you can call a black boy kitten. If you change this name to Salem, you will get a more familiar-sounding nickname.
- Goddesses of the night - Hecate (moonlight), Nyukta (personification of the night). These are interesting and unusual nicknames for a black cat.
- By the name of black minerals - Obsidian, Sapphire, Spinel, Opal and others.
