999 Unique Cat Names From Books, Movies, Astrology, & More

Maybe it’s their strange and unique personalities, or maybe it’s the specific brand of unhinged humor only found in cat owners themselves, but felines seem to have some of the wildest, most off-the-wall names of any pet. You might get a kick out of a cat named Jimothy, Mothball, or Doornails, but ultimately not think twice about it the way you might if it were a dog with such a name. You’d look at little Doornails and think “Yeah, that checks out.”

Nothing is off the table when it comes to naming a feline companion. Just take a peek on CatTok and you’ll find hilariously unique gold like Tree Trunks, Toast, and any other manner of inanimate objects or food items. Cats have the special ability to get away with just about any word or phrase as a name.

That could be an actual human name (often including a first, middle, and last name — sometimes even a title) like Jessica, Susan, Benjamin Button, or Sir Lancelot. Or maybe it’s an incredibly random food item like Celery Sticks, or seemingly the first item the owner laid eyes on, like Popsocket or Blue Jeans. Of course, regular pet names like Luna or Milo also fly. Then there are always those unforgettably unique cat names that smoosh everything all together and you’ve got something like “Sir Benjamin Button Toe Beans III”. See? It sounds right for a cat, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a canine with such a mouthful moniker.

Thanks to the free-for-all that is modern cat-naming antics, you’ve kind of got free reign when it comes to naming your fluffy little buddy. However, since nothing is too weird to work as a unique cat name, there is a bit of a decision-paralysis dilemma. And if you’ve got an orange cat to name, orange cat theory — a TikTok meme expressing the idea that all orange cats share and take turns using one singular brain cell, ICYMI — makes landing on a fitting title as peculiar and distinctive as their larger-than-life personality that much more challenging.

Though closing your eyes, spinning three times, and pointing at an unknown object to name your cat after seems to be the technique for some of the most highly experienced cat parents, there are other options for the mere mortals of kitten characterizing. Like this list. Below, find unique names for boy cats and girl cats inspired by everything from astrology and mythology to movies, books, and more.
